1889 Flood Survivors Project - Mrs. Ida Graham

Johnstown, Pa.

Seeing this information coupon in the Johnstown Tribune, I am filling it out for my mother, Mrs. Ida Graham, who is making her home with me, and has for the last 8 years. Up until then she had been a lifelong resident of Coopersdale in the West End of the city.

It was here at the age of 8 years that she experienced the 1889 Johnstown Flood. She and those of her family at that time took refuge in the old school building known as the Academy, which still stands on Academy Street in Coopersdale. In 1936 she traveled practically the same route when we were flooded out then.

I hope you have a very successful celebration for the anniversary of the 1889 Flood.

Thank you,
Mrs. Paul Wiand
