When a section at the east end of the stone bridge embankment gave way, the water and debris struck Cambria City and continued to wreck homes and cause greater damage.

A footbridge was built on the present location of the Walnut Street bridge so that bodies could be taken to Prospect for temporary burial. The coffins were shipped in from the west and covered the area around the railroad station. At right center can be seen the Club House which later became the Capitol Hotel. At left is the general office of the Cambria Iron Company.
