James Roger diary entry
February 21, 1909 (Friday)
Frost (22 degrees) fine day warm in sun. David went to Eaton’s for chair stock for Mr. Walker and took snow plough and grass cutting machine down to Chandler’s afterwards. Got letter from Hamish who expects to be home tomorrow by forenoon train. I swept vestry, little room, and stair, also put leaves in hen house.
Sad to see any house burn. This was a nice one. We lived on River Rd not far from that house.
