TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Table Rock, Nebr., Friday, Oct. 13, 1916. (Page 8)

Will Nemechek was here last week visiting friends and looking after business matters. Since leaving Table Rock he has had quite an experience. Two years ago he was in the flood district in Texas, and lost everything they had, except what clothing they had on. For forty-eight hours they were marooned on a hill without food, surrounded by torrents of raging water. After they were rescued from their position on the hill, their food supply was short for nearly a week longer, as there was only one store in the vicinity above water and the food stuffs of this store were proportioned out to families on a very economical basis. As the waters subsided other stocks were uncovered, but much of the food stuffs were spoiled, but enough was saved to supply the people with enough to live on until the railroads were again in operation and brought i n supplies. But it was an experience Will does not want repeated, and as soon as possible he let go of his Texas holdings and moved to Washington County, Kansas. He says his crops this season were damaged, but that he raised enough to see him through the winter and he will enter upon his farm work with renewed energy and hope and expects to win out in the long run.
