I am searching for more information about a flood that hit the Neoshu area in Sept 1875. My second great aunt Miranda Ruth Sharp wrote a letter to my great grandfather Edward Fenimore telling him that a cousin, John Sharp) from the Neoshu area had moved to a near by town in Oregon. In the letter Ruth wrote that before around the 4th and 6th of September 1875 (the day of birth for Edward and John) they were born under peculiar circumstances. Shoul and Hickory creeks overflowed their banks by a half mile and a foot or two over the roof of the home. The water rose so fast the family had to go to an upstairs room, the house then began to move off of the foundation and moved over against a large oak tree. Hamilton Sharp took an axe, cut a hole out to the roof. The family all climbed into the tree and remained there until a skiff came by and rescued the family. No loss of life in our family and minor injuries to Alice's jaw, and Sterling Price Sharp became quite sick. Any further information about the flood will appreciated. Martin Fenimore Castle Rock, WA
