Bill, Thank you so much for sharing these letters! Your contributions to these lists is always so helpful & informative. My mother was a RILEY from Gallatin Co., and I have many RILEY, CRAIG, MYLOR, GARDT, & GEX's in my family tree. It was fascinating to read the first-hand accounts of this devastating flood by and about those very families. My mother had moved to Newport well before '37, & my father was born there, so I've heard many stories of the flood's magnitude from that area. Until now, however, I've never thought much about the effects further down the river. I do have high-speed internet, so please send me the version w/the photos! Thanks again, Jan Lester "Genealogy By Jan" http://www.genbyjan.com
