____________
They lived in Curwensville, Clearfield, PA on the Susquehanna River and experienced the Johnstown Flood.4463
Note:
The most destructive flood in the county's history was that of 1889, known as the Johnstown flood on account of the destruction on the same date, May 31st, of the city of Johnstown by a flood in the Conemaugh river caused by heavy rains and the breaking of a dam. In Clearfield county on account of the heavy rains at this time, this flood caused much damage to farmers' crops almost every where, but the principal loss was along the river and tributary streams. The only loss of life so far as known was the drowning of Miss Ada Tate in Clearfield. Her drowning was caused by the upsetting of the boat in which she and others were trying to reach a place of safety.
In this flood scores of bridges on the river and tributary streams were carried away and destroyed, buildings were damaged and some carried away, property of, different kinds destroyed and other damages by water and mud. In Clearfield, where the damage was greatest, even the highest part of the town was said to have been under water at one time, and on many of the streets the water ran from 4 to 6 feet deep at the highest.
A precipitation of over eight inches of rain, beginning May 30, was the cause of this flood.239
