THE 1927 FLOOD IN DESHA COUNTY
Do you realize that April 1976 will mark the 49th year since the awful
flood that covered the County? People living today who experienced that
catastrophe have not forgotten. Those who were not here are always curious
to know more about it. That is why the Society wants to compile accounts
of personal experiences of the people who were there.
Will you please help by answering the following questions for us:
1. Give your full name and present address.
Ira W. Merritt
302 Hillcrest St. Marianna, Arkansas 72360
2. Where were you when the Flood came?
Living at home with my mother, brothers & sisters
at Kelso
3. Did you actually see the water come in? Please describe briefly
how it looked to you.
A couple days before the water got to Kelso, I rode to
a wash out with Mr. A. L. Landers on his motor car and watched the water
run over a low section of the R. R. The water was muddy and made a
terrific sound flowing over the R. R. embankment.
4. How high-approximately-did the water rise in your community and
in your home?
To the eaves of our home. The house did not
float off the blocks.
5. Where did you stay until the water went down?
Railroad cars at Yancopin and later to Cleveland, Mississippi.
6. Please tell briefly about the incident or incidents you remember
most clearly. Any amusing incidents?
I had been working for some time to put together discarded
items, when assemblled would produce electricity. I had
collected a Maxwell engine and chasis, the transmission
from a motorcycle, and a generator from a Delco light
plant. This contrivance was assembled behind the house.
It had been used on several occasions to light one
room before the flood came.
7. What damage was done to your property - home, land, etc?
Every thing in our house was a loss. The surrounding
farm land was covered with about 2' to 3' of sand.
We took shovels and a hoe to remove about three
inches of mud on the floor.
