Edit Request: Keystone Dam destruction cause and date

The WIKI article on the Boardman River in NW Michigan states that the Keystone Dam was demolished in 1961, which is technically true but the manner of the destruction and actual date is not explained.

In the book "Currents of the Boardman" By Martin Melkild, Edited by A. V Williams on Page 35, it states that the Keystone Dam was destroyed in September, 1961 by a flood caused by a severe rain event and the failure of another dam upstream.

The exact quote is this:

In September, 1961, nature began to reclaim what man had taken from her. During a heavy rainstorm, the dam on Swainston Creek at Mayfield washed out. When the flood waters caused by this washout joined with the already swollen waters of the Boardman, it was more than the Keystone Dam could handle. Keystone also washed out that same evening."

Two photos of the demolished dam are in this book as well.

I would recommend this book as a very good compilation of oral history for the Boardman River. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.42.173.189 (talk) 21:17, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
