Father Winter
Mr. Winter found that his mill dam had been swept away by a flood in his absence, and the mills were standing still. Several deaths had occurred in the scattered community from what they called the "soldiers' fever, " and great alarm was felt by the settlers. He spent some weeks in rebuilding the dam, and early in the spring sent for their goods. Of all that was saved, Mrs. Winter most highly prized a feather bed, as she had been obliged to sleep on straw since their arrival.
