June 9, 1946 Flood of 1888 The flood of July 9-10, 1888, was unquestionably the greatest of accurate record in the valley reaching a height of 22 ½ feet at Weston, 27 feet at the West Milford bridge, 25 feet at Clarksburg, 31 feet at Shinnston, 39 feet at Fairmont and 28.2 feet at Pittsburgh, where the flood state is 25 feet. We must assume from these known crest elevations the extent of the areas affected. The 1888 flood crests in the West Fork River and Elk Creek may be obtained by adding 25 feet to the height of normal stream flow elevations at any point within the city limits. A map showing the flood crests at 19 points with notes on expected damage to present lands and structures, upon a repetition of the flood, is attached. A recurrence of the floods of 1807, 1824, 1852, and 1888, would close four or more essential Clarksburg utilities, and therefore, all factories. No one could enter or leave the city by any means of transportation. (c) Nature, amount, frequency and location of past flood damages. Flood frequencies follow: 1807 to 1824, 17 years The flood of 1888 carried away all highway bridges on the West Fork River except the Lightburn and Maulsby bridges; sawmills and farm fences also were lost in the flood. Drought frequencies: 1838 to 1892, 54 years |

Melanie Spiker Fouse provided the following information referencing the obituary shown above: Mrs. J. F. Severin is Olive Mary Zinn, sister to Roy Brown Zinn.

and sorrow comes to all, high and low, but the people of Great Britain seem to have learned that there is strength in the merging of sorrow. Where so many suffer, those who survive must be able to go on. Going on means following the day’s routine and submerging sorrow and anxiety in the doing of little things that are always at hand to be done. |
