How did you come across this article about this poor child?

I had not heard of the Pueblo disaster until your post. Perhaps her whole family was lost.

“According to a Chieftain article commemorating the flood’s 90th anniversary, the toll in human life and misery was much higher. Estimates vary, but a report compiled by the U.S. Reclamation Service and published within six weeks of the flood, lists 120 known deaths, 49 known missing people, and 93 unaccounted for. The remains of corpses turned up downstream for several years.”

At the 34:28 mark is actual film of the flood that has been archived.

In the aftermath of the flood there were 3000 refugees living in tent colonies.

I was checking to see if there any postscripts on a girl who jumped into the mississippi river June 1921

IMHO she would not end up in the Arkansas River at Little Rock from the Mississippi. Both rivers flow south here toward the Gulf of Mexico, confluence is roughly 90 miles southeast of Little Rock using Google Maps.

If she is a victim of the Colorado disaster, her body traveled a long way. Again using Google Maps, about 900 road miles. But, rivers take their own course, generally.

Today, the Arkansas River has multiple dams & reservoirs.
