Downtown Clearfield - Flood of 1936

Email from Tom O'Day:

My cousin, Norman Sunderland, sent me this picture that shows the Keystone Ice Cream Co. during the 1936 flood.

Editor's Note:  This picture was probably taken from up on the hill beside Hillcrest Cemetary.  It was taken during the flood of 1936 (March 17-22).  You can see the old Clearfield County Jail in the center of the picture and just barely make out the west side and the Market Street Bridge (upper left corner).  Just below the jail is the Keystone Ice Cream Co. and at the bottom center is what appears to be a barge or boat.  This is actually a railroad coal car loaded with coal.
