Woman Drowned At Morehead Related In Bath County 
   Mrs. Emma Tolliver, 77, who lost her life in the Morehead flood 
last week, was a native of this county and a daughter of the late 
Nathan Riddle of the White Oak section.  She was an aunt of Chester 
Snedegar and had other more distant relative here.  Mrs. Tolliver and 
two other elderly ladies, so it was aid, were carried from their homes.  
Mrs. Tolliver, the first to be taken out, was placed on a pile of 
railroad ties while rescuers went for the other two women.  When they 
returned for her after placing the other two on a box car, she was 
gone and the pile of ties nowhere to be seen.  Her body was found the 
next day in a wire fence down the creek.
