Background: Tuesday morning, March 25, 1913, the City of Hamilton and the entire Miami Valley was visited by the most destructive, wide-spread and damaging flood that has yet been recorded for this section of the country. Heavy rains for several days preceding had so increased the volume of the streams flowing into the Miami river, that this body of water by Tuesday, March 25, was overrunning its banks in many places and by ten o'clock Tuesday morning had inundated the entire Third and Fifth wards of Hamilton, besides overflowing the lower section Second ward, and scores of streets in this same ward that occupied higher ground.
