The town of Troy was also a heavy sufferer. The state troops who arrived in the town on March 27th with provisions for Dayton were stranded.
One-third of the town was cut off from gas, electricity and water supply. A train load of provisions arrived. The provisions were carefully distributed.
One-half of the state troops left on foot for Dayton, following the tracks of the railroad.

Miamisburg, a town of eight thousand, was cut off for days. When news finally reached neighboring towns the death list was estimated at twenty-five. Later estimates placed it at less. Only one body has been recovered, but the property damage ran high.

Fifteen persons were afterward missing and scores of houses could be seen floating down the stream. The water and electric light plants were out of commission.
