The Circleville Herald, June 22, 1928;

                                      LAURELVILLE IS HIT BY FLOOD; WATER IN TOWN

    Poor old Laurelville !

    Every time the gentle dew from heaven drops on the place, the people of the town get a bath or their feet wet.

    Wednesday afternoon the business square had a blanket of water 12 inches deep, On West Water Street it was a foot and a half deep, North Main Street had water two feet deep. Although there was plenty of the precipitation in the streams of the village, it was not high enough to get into the stores.

    Laurel Creek raised havoc. The waters of this beautiful stream came down a roaring following the heavy downpour. It broke through the levy at the park grounds, brought the water down through the public square on South Main Street, up to the home of Samuel Rose where one of the big trees was torn down and deposited across the street. The tree tore down electric light wires. The DeHaven garage was under water.

    Down at Haynes, Simon Hoy’s sow and nine pigs and the old family mare had the time of their life swimming around in four feet of water. Mrs. Susie Poling declared she was all in after carrying all the household furniture up stairs, while her husband, Bert Poling, was over at Circleville taking in the movies and she had all the work to do by herself.

    Sam Thompson is looking all over Main Street for his chicken yard fence.

    Bill Hale suffered a heavy loss when his fine melon and potato patch west of the Armstrong Hardware store was completely ruined.
