Vermont)

In 1832 another flood occurred on another branch of White Creek, completely 
tearing up the highway for half a mile, sweeping away every bridge across the 
stream, and everything off the house of Norman HARVEY, the First Constable of 
the town [Rupert, Bennington County, Vermont]. His pocketbook, containing a 
considerable amount of money, which he had collected on State taxes, was 
carried off and never recovered. The Legislature, the following year, passed 
a special act, crediting him with the sum lost.
