<< here was a flood in Johnstown in 1977 that wiped out pretty much
all of Tanneryville. I think about 66 people were killed. In some cases,
whole families were wiped out. I was living in Johnstown, then, and almost
lost my mother. I was a horrific night for a lot of people. >>
I worked at the morgue set up at Richland HS after the flood. Many of the
bodies that were brought in were from Tanneryville. The one woman that sticks
in my mind to this day was Dolly Teeter..I believe it was Teeter. Know the
first name was Dolly. I was living in Dale at the time. Someone had asked for
pictures of the flood awhile back. I have them if there is a site for them or
anyone wants to see them. They're Walnut Grove, Moxham, Dale and Hornerstown.
