Jefferson County Looking Back: Ashwood flood 50 years ago
['Joey Lantz']
Madras Pioneer
One family in particular doesn’t want any more rain, the Charles Keegan family of Ashwood.
“We looked out the window and saw a wave of water roaring down the wash,” Keegan told The Pioneer Saturday morning.
They sat at the table, the meal forgotten, watching as the debris-laden water floated a heavy, four-wheel drive pickup into the garage-tool-storage shed.
Saturday morning the Keegan home, built by his father, who settled the ranch in 1916, resembled a war-torn scene in Europe.
The county road department was on the job bright and early Saturday, repairing water damage to county roads.
