Ruth Richardson Frederick was 15 at the time of the flood. She describes her life in Jeffersonville and Port Fulton and the devastation that occurred as seen through her teenage eyes. For the story from her mothers point of view, look at the Oral history interview of Catherine Banks Richardson. The thumbnail image was her high school senior picture as published in the Jeffersonville High School Yearbook.
