  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    There was a great snowstorm in the year 1933. Although it was very deep and severe, only one person was lost, his name is not known by the person who told me this story. He lived at the foot of Bruce hill.
    He was going up the hill to the shop with a basket of eggs, his purpose was to buy candles.
    He walked into a drift of snow in a scough and in a few days after he was found dead.
