James Roger diary entry
January 8, 1909 (Friday)
Hard frost 2 above zero. Fine clear winter day wind N.E. to S.E. David and Daniel went up to Mrs. Amee’s and found that someone had broken into it. Cooking stuff dumped on floors, drawers opened and contents pulled out etc. I wrote Mrs. A. Meeting of Tablet Committee at Miss Lee’s this afternoon, Discussed plans and arranged to meet in Church tomorrow afternoon to fix suitable place for tablet. Wrote pc to Berkley and letter to Hamish.
Once in the 60s a group of teenage girls had summer jobs there. My late sister told me this story. At some point during the workday an enormous spider started descending from the ceiling and everyone female completely freaked out. Work came to a screeching halt. Irma Kinnunen calmy and without fanfare grabbed the spider silk string and positioned the offending arachnid in a convenient place and crushed it. None of these girls had paid much attention to Irma up to that point as she older and wasn’t a showy person. But all those girls loved and admired her after that incident.
