Father Winter
And now again, they unexpectedly met an acquaintance to help them in the emergency. They found a Mr. Thayer, formerly from Vermont, who lived not far from the western end of Ohautauqua lake, who was about starting for home. So it was arranged that Mr. Winter should wait and go with the goods by water, while Mrs. Winter and the children should accompany Mr. Thayer and remain at his house till Mr. Winter arrived.
