  1. On Christmas Night in about the year 1929 there was a great gale. It lasted until next morning. It took slates off houses, and knocked hay ricks here and there through the country.
    About the year 1934 in the month of February there was a great storm.
    It lasted for two or three days. It took slates off houses, and knocked trees.
    It was accompanied by rain, and fields and rivers were flooded with water.
    About the year 1887 there was a very dry Summer. People had great inconvenience to get water because some of the wells had gone dry. They had long distances to draw water for themselves and their cows.
