Tom, Is there anyway to post the article regarding this flood for all to read. My mom used to talk about it and said one of our relatives drowned but she may have confused that incident with the drowning in Catfish Creek in 1959 of her grandmother's first husband. Anyway, a list of victims would help verify one way or another. Thanks for your offer. Ellen -----Original Message----- From: Patrick L.

A great flood took place on the 4th of July 1876 on Catfish Creek, killing many people in its wake. Could you see whether my great great grandfather, John Corcoran, was listed as lost but eventually found living a day later. He worked for the Illinois Central RR and was in the station that evening.
