The flood was hard on farm animals and wildlife and one could see chickens and turkeys perched on farm buildings and pheasants, grouse, racoons, etc. taking refuge in trees and on fences. One neighbour, a bachelor named Bill Coward, had to milk his cows under water in the flooded barn. He had intended to go to town for supplies when the flood hit and his root cellar was under water so he decided to shoot a pheasant that was per­ ched on one of his fence posts.
