Excerpt from Proceedings of the Delaware County Institute of Science, Vol. 6: October, 1910, to July, 1911
In the year 1843 there occurred in this neighborhood one of the most remarkable phenomena of which local history gives an account. The Flood of 1843 is considered by those who remember it as one of the mile-stones of Delaware County history. So extraordinary was this flood and so great the damage done, that shortly after the occurrence a committee of the Delaware County Institute of Science was appointed to investigate and make report in regard to it. The members of this committee were Dr. George Smith, John P. Crozer and Minshall Painter. A number of copies of the report of this committee were printed for private circulation, but very few of these copies are now in existence. In response to the frequent inquiries that have been made for data concerning the Flood of 1843, it has been deemed advisable to reprint the report in full in these proceedings.
