Saturday I visited Riverview Cemetery, while I was walking around I found the gravestone for the May family. It stated that they had all drowned and the dates were 1927. So sad. The children were all young.
Do you know how many people died at the time of the flood and how many of them were from Richmond, Vermont? jft

Hi Joyce,

Sorry for the delay, I had to dig out my copy of Stories and Pictures of the Vermont Flood  by R.E. Atwood, 1927. According to the listing on the last page there were 55 casualties, none from Richmond, curious. I will have to do some research and get back to you. In the meantime, if you click on the special exhibits link in the left hand margin it will take you to our page regarding the flood in Richmond. Also check out our publication Richmond Vermont - A History of More than 200 Years, there will be a book signing by the author on Oct 13th at The Old Round Church.
