Charlie Wiltshire Was In the Flood District of Zanesville, Ohio.

Zanesville, Ohio, where Chas. Wiltshire is now engaged in the private banking business, was visited by a serious flood the first of the week, which was the worst with the exception of 1898 that Zanesville ever had. A Zanesville newspaper of March Ist, gives an account of the flood, which had made hundreds of families homeless. Four rivers, the Coshockton, Licking, Walhonding and Tuscarawas, figured in the flood. The greater part of Zanesville is built on hills and the flood district was in the valley where, however, a considerable part of the city extends. The Bth war'd of the city was badly flooded and Charlie says that he is patting himself on the back that he had moved from the Bth ward to apartments down town only the week before the flood. Charlie states that his business is very good and he is well pleased with his success. Charlie is a hustler and is making his own way and it will take something more than high water to hold him back.
