- There was a big wind in 1839. It knocked many houses. It knocked a big tree in Bill Gillick's field. There were 20 horse loads of timber in it. It knocked a hayshed that was in a field; it was full of hay which was scattered through the field. There was a horse standing beside a river and he was knocked in by the wind and was drowned.
