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

I have added memorial pages and the photographs I took of the May family headstones to http://www.findagrave.com and wonder if it would be ok with you if I used your quote above from the exerpt taken from R.E. Atwoods book to add to their bio page.  As I was adding their memorial pages and the photos of their stones and saw the ages of the children it made me so sad that a complete family was lost.
