Thanks to all of you. The water was down the next day. About thirty homes right in town flooded, plus some in the outskirts, but it could have been worse.

L. Jane Sallee Cox & bro. Wm. Sallee lived in Newton Co. Ind. near Morroco both buried in Newton Co. INDIANA. Some of the offspring wandered over the line & lived in Iroquois Co. ILLINOIS. Thanks for keeping me straight, Jane. Our prayers go out to all of you in Indiana. Pray your waters have receded & the rain has stopped. We've forgotten what water & mud look like here!
