Georgiana died in the Galveston Tidal Wave Disaster. Excerpt from The Great Galveston Disaster, by Paul Lester
On September 8, 1900, the island community of Galveston, Texas was hit by a ferocious storm that killed thousands of residents, and nearly flattened the city. The story of the great storm will never be fully told. Words are too weak to express the horror, the awfulness of the storm itself, to even faintly picture the scene of devastation, wreck and ruin, misery, suffering and grief. Even those were were miraculously saved after terrible experiences, were spared to learn that their families and property had been swept away, and spared to witness scenes as horrible as the eye of man ever looked upon - even these cannot tell the story.
There are stories of wonderful rescues and escapes, each of which at another time would be a marvel to the rest of the world, but in a time like this when a storm so intense in his fury, so prolonged in its work of destruction, so wide in his scope, and so infinitely terrible in its consequences has swept and entire city and neighboring towns for miles on either side, the mind cannot comprehend all of the horror, cannot learn or know all of the dreadful particulars. One stands speechless and powerless to relate even that which he has felt and knows. Gifted writers have told of storms at sea, wrecking of vessels where hundreds were at stake and last. That task pales to insignificance when compared with the task of telling of a storm which threatened the lives of perhaps sixty thousand people, sent to their death perhaps six thousand people, and left thousands others wounded, homeless, and destitute, and still others to cope with grave responsibility, to relieve the stricken, to grapple with and prevent the anarchist's reign, to clear the water-sodden land of putrefying bodies and dead carcasses, to perform tasks that try men's souls and sicken their hearts.
