clues are in photos. Which town?? Alder Street, Grand Street Bridge, Opera House City/Town of Herkimer can be ruled out. Different handwriting and very clearly different photocards because they are shown at http://www.mfdesignworks.com/hhs/hist.htm And there are no Alder or Grand Street in Herkimer for sure. likely one of towns downriver from Herkimer since Herkimer had ICE as part of Great Herkimer Flood of 2 March 1910 somewhere upriver from Cohoes toward Herkimer -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [USGW-Discuss] Mystery Flood Postcards -- Possibly Mohawk River, New York??

There was a flood on the Mohawk River at that time caused by rain, melting snow and the break-up of an ice jam on the river. The bulk of the flooding was between Herkimer and Schenectady. I am writing to see if any of you can id the town. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ny/graphics/postcards/flood.html
