Bloomington (IN) Weekly Courier, December 15, 1911, p. 1, late edition. BEAN BLOSSOM CREEK OVERFLOWS AND COVERS BROWN COUNTY FARMS Brown County has suffered heavy loss from high water in the last few days. All Nashville stages were held up at Helmsburg this morning and compelled to leave passengers at the station at Bean Blossom Creek. The creek has risen rapidly within the last two days and is causing damage along bottom lands, sweeping away fences and drowning cattle and washing away bridges. The agent at Helmsburg was compelled to leap into the stream and swim across in order to meet the trains. High water is also causing damage in the southern part of the county.
