February 2nd 1898: "Baxter Harbor:
We are having our share of the heavy snow storms and bad roads.
Mr. Morton Bennett, who has been con
fined to the house for some time with a cut foot, is able to get out again.
Mr. Francis Lyons has been suffering from an attack of rheumatism.
Mr. Watson Brewster has moved his family to Cape Blomidon for the winter.
Mr. A Ells is spending the winter with relatives at Sheffield Mills
Mr. J.A. Baxter of Sheffield Mills, is here with a number of men getting out a frame for a large barn
Ice was seen in the bay, on Jan 24th, for the first time this winter."
I found the Baxter's Harbour news of Feb. 02 1898 while searching the internet I thought it was very interesting especially the last entry about the ice in the Bay .So far this winter the Bay has been ice free. I found this on rootsweb.com
