Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 102, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 March 1914 — High Water Last Year Did Not Cover Floor of Cooper's House. [ARTICLE]

High Water Last Year Did Not Cover Floor of Cooper's House.

Apropos the item that appeared in a recent issue of the Rensselaer Republican that “Just a year ago' today (Wednesday) occurred the big Hood and Marion's house northeast of the, stockyards was surrounded by water which stood almost two feet deep on the floor of liis house,’’ I wish to say that the item is wholly untrue so far as the water covering the floor is concerned. It never reached the floor at ill, lacking sevr era! inches of doing so, and we did not move a thing in the house. As I have t'be property for sale, the item referred to is damaging to me.
