"On the sixth day of February 1884 the Ohio River at Cincinnati at noon reached a height of fifty-nine feet. This circumstance added to the rapid rise of the waters at all points above and the enormous rain-fall that had prevailed for a long time and still continued in the territory drained by the river made it certain that our city was about to be subjected to a flood as great as any that it had experienced in the past and rendered it probable that all previous experiences of floods in the Ohio would be exceeded." 3214002. 1st Edition.
