I had family that lived on Wheeling Island during that time and it flooded several times, but I think 1913 was the worst and there were deaths, so if you don't know the exact date, etc. you might started with the 1913 flood and see what turns up. I checked the Belmont County papers that I have obituares from and didn't see anything for that spelling after the turn of the century,,, Pam ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
