Peggy, Yes, you are correct that people died either in the Floyd flood or from stress or other situations resulting from the flood. However, they were not in Princeville. The several people from the same family that died were in the Pinetops area; other deaths were in other places around Eastern N.C. Many people drowned when they tried to drive through moving water and their cars were swept off the road. We have almost every article from the local papers that was published on this latest flood, if anyone wants copies of anything specific. (Oh, thanks for the newspaper email too.) Traci the Librarian ______________________________________________________________ From: Peggy Ward <paward@lexcominc.net> Hi, I was reading your messages and I thought that in the flood from Hurricane Floyd a few years ago; there were some people from Princeville that died. Or was that in another area near there. Because I am sure there were people that died in that flood. Several people of the same family in fact. I live in NC and wilson is my home originally, so I listen to the news on it quite a bit. But I cannot remember the dates etc. Nor were the people were from exactly. If you check the Wilson Daily Times on line; they may have news back that far.

Tracy, You are Welcome. I thought maybe you had just forgotten. Our brains are on overload so much these days; it's easy to forget things. I am bad for forgetting things in my older years. I use to could remember everything. Now I forget until I have a chance to bring it to my memory and then I sometimes remember that thing I forgot.
