(McCOOK DAILY GAZETTE) The McCook Daily Gazette reports, "Nadine Miller Fidler's last memories of her mother are of her straining to reach the outstretched arm of Nadine's uncle, and not being able to make the connection before the raging waters of the Republican River took away her mother and baby sister.
Seventy-five years ago Monday, Nadine's family was devastated by the worst flood in the history of the Republican River watershed. On May 31, 1935, 5 1⁄2-year-old Nadine lost her mother, her three sisters, her brother and her aunt in the flood waters. Someone may be caught off-guard initially when Nadine says the anniversary doesn't bring back memories. 'Oh, it doesn't bring back memories,' Nadine said Thursday morning as the anniversary approached. 'They're with me all the time.'"
