The roots of these old trees spread all over the place and when they were falling, the roots were dragged out of the ground and the coffins that were down on them were pulled up too. I do not know of any ship wrecks or drownings in my district.There was a house burned in 1931 on Mrs Benton Glenstal. There was no one living in it.
