The search for flood victims went on day by day and continued for many months. This picture was taken from Clinton Street near Locust and shows the B&O Passenger Station at the right.

The B&O Passenger Station had been Johnstown's first high school building. One of the few buildings left standing on Washington Street, it served as a morgue during the flood. The upper floors contained the offices of the Johnstown Democrat. The editor, L. D. Woodruff and his force was working when a box car crashed against the building. Woodruff, his two sons and staff spent the night in the ruined building. This building was used by the B&O Railroad until it was torn down after the flood of 1936.

The Millvale School was designated as another morgue. It withstood the flood waters and being located near the stone bridge many victims were brought here. The coffins were placed under tents because of the continued rain.
