THE SOUVENIR BOOKLET

A small 4 x 6 black photo souvenir booklet was discovered when I was working on sorting through items to use in my genealogical documentation. It had taken a lot of research to discover names on the family tree, but this “find” gave me a chance to learn a story that makes the people on the family tree more than just a name. The date on the souvenir booklet was March 1904 and it described the Middletown area of Pennsylvania where our ancestors lived. Understanding the background of this flood gives me an insight into how they lived and what life was like just after the turn of the century.
