    (continued from previous page)
    the hay and corn were brought away in the distance of a half a mile from the haggard.
    Several people who ventured out lost their lives and were blown into dykes and holes. A mile this side of Lanesboro at St Bride's well the roof of a chapel was lifted off and brought to where the church is now built.
    The strange part of it is that the roof was left down and not a straw was gone out of it exactly as it was on the chapel. People in Lanesboro are very fond of telling how God selected the site for their church.
