To Jaycees Survival (sic) Committee:

My granddaughter (Mrs. Roy Emmel) living on Southmont Blvd. sent me this clipping from the newspaper.

I was very interested in the idea and wrote you but I did forget to put the clipping in the note.

I have tried to think of anyone still living that I knew at that time.

Hoping you will be successful in this undertaking.

I am sincerely
Mrs. Jennie Cover

We lived on Lincoln St. directly across from Rose's Planing Mill. I don't remember the number. The Stanwix Hotel's back came to our back.

My granddaughter cut out this notice from the paper and sent it to me.

At the time of the Flood we were living on Lincoln St. directly across from Rose's Planing Mill. Very few of my relatives are living and I have lost track of most of the people I knew at that time.

I hope your committee will be successful in their search for the survivors. I will write my name and address here where it will be easier to read:
