RESIDENTS WHO SUFFERED DAMAGE

The homes of M. H. Hartman and Fred Engle, Jr., were damaged. Carson Long’s double story home was still standing but precariously leaning as if it was ready to fall. A.L. Mansbarger’s wrecked home was literally piled up against Henry Stager’s home. The residences of Davis, Gray, and Snavely at the corner of Catharine and Susquehanna Streets were demolished. The Yentzer house at the corner of Wood and Susquehanna Street and the W. J. McKinley’s house on Wood Street were damaged. The Mansion House near the aqueduct had flooding up to the bottom of the first story windows. Mrs. Plott’s home suffered damage. This was my husband’s great grandmother.

The Susquehanna school building on Wood Street doesn’t appear to be damaged from the picture but there are huge chunks of ice all over the area with several students in the background just in front of the school house.

I can’t read the name of the owner (Brua…), but a barn in the area that had a herd of 100 head of cattle was completely destroyed and literally taken out and over the ice.
