Zanesfield, a small village in Logan County, sat in the Mad River valley of west central Ohio in 1913, and most of its people earned their living from farming and the rail traffic that followed the river. Corn, wheat and oats filled the fields, and hogs and cattle were raised for sale, with grain and livestock shipped by rail to regional markets. The Mad River, which gave the valley its name, was known for rising quickly after heavy rain. That spring, the great Ohio flood of March 1913 swept through the Miami and Mad River basins, and valley communities counted their losses and began the slow work of rebuilding.
