Ice gorge floods farms near Oxford Junction
A massive ice gorge on the Wapsider south of Oxford Junction dammed water into the south part of town. Ice near Melvin Stevenson’s farm rises about 25 feet high while Ba ker’s farm barn is ringed by water, forcing use of a boat for chores. Animals on Joe Mostert’s farm moved to higher ground as the flood expands. In social notes, neighbors visit, host farewell party for the Moellers moving to Toronto, birthdays celebrated for Mrs Goff and Mrs Schut, and local residents attend dinners and gatherings across Clinton, Davenport, Anamosa, and Oxford Junction areas.
