Now regarding the 12.5 pound package of Bug Death. Does that label say it contains zinc oxide and lead oxide? I guess when you plant 200 cabbages you need something or cut worms will destroy the entire crop. But I wonder how many people suffered the effects of eating coleslaw.
I agree. The barns of New Ipswich. New and old. Plenty of the antique ones are still standing and withstood the hurricane of '38 according to the old-timers.
I was interested in the notice about the sale of the old Methodist Episcopal church in Bank Village, because we have a church pew which my father said came from the Finnish church, and he would point out the place in Bank Village where the church had been. But I didn’t think there was a Finnish church there, and so now I know what happened. Somehow, my grandfather, John Kangas, got one of those Methodist Episcopal pews which had been given to the the Finnish church in Finn country, as we called it, and brought it home, so my father’s story wasn’t quite clear. And as the church was sold in 1907, and my grandparents didn’t settle in New Ipswich until 1921, he must have got one which was no longer needed in that new Finnish church. I hope this makes sense! And somehow, my grandfather got another more traditional church bench, like the ones in the church in Jaffrey Centre, which might have come from one of the other larger churches in town. He obviously liked collecting church benches! But then he and my grandmother formed a breakaway Lutheran church with some others and maybe they used the pews for that. This is what happens when you own a large barn and storage room isn’t a problem.

Imagine all the history in the barns of New Ipswich.
