1889 Flood Survivors Project - Mrs. Elizabeth Harris

 ----------------------------

Clipping: Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, age 77. I think she is saying she currently lives at 4183 W. 220 St., Cleveland, and New Florence at the time of the Flood. The phone number is 235-8301.

The letter reads:

New Florence, Pa
Feb. 3, 1964

Gentlemen:

I am Mrs. Harris' sister, Mrs. F. R. Clawson of New Florence, Pa.

My mother and two daughters were in downtown Johnstown visiting over Memorial Day in 1889.

A baby was born the night of the flood in the same house. I understand he lives in town now. He is Moses Flood Williams.

My sister knows of a man who lost his entire family. He lives in Cleveland, O. I have asked her to send me his name.

Yours truly,
Mrs. F. R. Clawson
