- There was a plage in our district in the year 1822. There was a hole lot of people died with it there was eight or nine coffins every day waiting to be buried and the people couldnt get a enough of coffins to buire them and the had to put them in boxes and buire them.
There was a house burning one time in our district long ago. There was a man going to bed and he was lighting his pipe and when he had his pipe lit he was throwing the match out and he threw it on a bag of straw and the bag got on fire and in a while the whole house was in fire and the man found the smell of the smoke and he jumped up and got a blanket and put it round him and ran through the flames and got out to the street and the house was burned to the ground. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
