The rain began to fall on Easter Sunday, March 23, 1913. In Troy,
15 people lost their lives during the flood due to drowning, and in
the weeks and months that followed an unknown number died from
flood-related diseases. The story of what happened in Troy has
often been overlooked, but in 1976 the Troy Historical Society Oral
History Committee interviewed Troy flood survivors as a project for
the bicentennial of the United States. These interviews, preserved
on audiotapes, provide researchers firsthand accounts of what
happened in the town. The late Mrs. Lois Shilling Davies, a past
president of the Troy Historical Society who lived in Troy during
the flood, deserves much of the credit for this invaluable
resource, for it is she who conducted many of the interviews.
Images of America: Troy and the Great Flood of 1913 relates how
residents endured without having
any instruction or experience in emergency preparedness. This is a
celebration of human bravery, kindness, and ingenuity--of people
who triumphed over tragedy.
