The Town of Wentworth lies in a deep valley snuggled between Carr Mountain to the east and the uplands of Sanders Hill, Ellsworth Hill, and Atwell Hill to the west. A consequence of this seemingly insignificant fact was the once annual occurrence of floods, sometimes very devastating ones in the past history of the Town.
Eighty-five years ago this year, on November 4, 1927, the town was inundated, breaking all previous flood records for high water. Showers of October had already saturated the soil, and the streams were already swelled to capacity. Baker's River would soon overflow the road at the depot, now the location of King's Mill, before anyone was even aware.
Water poured furiously down the State Road and through the Village. The iron bridge in the center of town, newly built in 1910, was seriously threatened, and only the fact that a deep channel between the railroad station and the water tank diverted a large volume of water was the bridge saved from total ruin. The tracks were undermined in some places to a depth allowing a person to stand beneath them. The freight house at the station yard was also severely undermined.
Downstream the valley spreading for a mile or more south of the village appeared like a great lake. The Zach Rolfe family, parents of Grover Breck's wife Melissa, lived in a plank house just north of the Mamie Roy home and were greatly endangered by water at least four feet deep in their house. Auguste King and two other young lads attempted their rescue on a hastily constructed raft only to be imperiled themselves. Daniel Lary was left awash for several hours clinging desperately to bushes while the others reached safety downstream, to be stranded for considerable time in a pine tree in the Harry Turner sugar orchard. Flood control dams of the last half century have clouded the memory of these once prevalent wraths of nature. The railroad rails, the water tower, and the freight station pictured on the front cover are gone today, not because of natures undoing, but made necessary by the evolving needs of man.
