The City of Elroy, Village of Union Center, Highway 71 between Kendall and Elroy, and now Wonewoc, has seen significant flooding over this past weekend and currently due to significant rainfall. Local creeks feeding in and around the Baraboo River have breached their banks. Several roads and bridges were and may still be covered with water. Be cautious, and never cross a flooded road in your vehicle.  Below are some flooding resources for local residents.

When your well has been flooded, bacteria and other harmful organisms can get into your water

You should consider your well flooded if:

The well head was covered or well casing was inundated with water.

You notice changes in the taste or color or the presence of sediment in your water.

Your well is shallow-cased nearby areas have been flooded.

It will take time for the water to be safe to use again. You will need an unaffected source of water to use for several weeks while you fix your well. Safe water includes bottled water, tap water that you boiled for one minute, or water from a well that was not flooded.

On Thursday June 27, 2024 at 8:19 AM the Adams County Sheriff’s Office received a call advising that the caller had not been able to contact Sharon K. Miller, age 62 of Friendship for three days.  The reporting person advised she went to Sharon’s home located in the Adams County Town of Strongs Prairie that Sharon and Sharon’s son, Jami L. Lumby, age 37, were not there.  Deputies arrived and checked the property and did not locate either person.  Deputies identified recent ground disturbance consistent with digging or the burying of something on the property. A search warrant to further search the property was obtained.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to this investigation, and have dedicated every available resource to this investigation. 

We are now able to confirm that the adult body that was discovered on June 27, 2024 is that of Sharon K. Miller, known by family and friends as Sharon Miller-Robinson. Investigators also located the body of Jami L. Lumby at their residence.  The manner of their deaths are pending autopsy, but are both being investigated as suspicious deaths.

Staff from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Special Agents from the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation continue to collect and analyze evidence, and are conducting interviews. DOJ Crime Response Specialists are assisting family members in this investigation.

We are again asking for the public’s assistance if anyone has had any recent contact with Sharon or Jami to contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

No further information will be made available for release at this time.  Additional information will be made available as we are able to do so as the investigation continues to progress.
