(Bloggers note: This snippet of local history was obviously in answer to a query from our own Gary Manthorne.)

Hello Gary,

Thelma, was, as you already know, was Winfield's daughter, Jimmy
Doug's aunt.

Jimmie Arthur (Burke) Lived in the house that is now owned by Twila
(Jimmie Doug's sister) Green. Jimmie Arthurs field was west nor'west of
Harold Burke's place. It was quite a field then, but somewhat overgrown
now. It bordered the Gammon property to the south, Harold's to the east
sou'east, the main road to the nor'east and Tom's (Eldon's
Grandfather)Bull Pasture to the nor'west.

A lot of Drum Headers had fields apart from their home locale: Cliff
Burke's was more or less where Jason Langley's house is now. Aus
Henderson's was nor'west of that, back about 150 meters from the road. A
hauling road passed through field and went just east of where the gas
plant now sits. It went back as far a Stave Hill (and all points
between)
Uncle Frank's was just below that old garage of Rol Burke's, and
Carse Luddington's was Nor'west of where Rol's daughter Judy's house now
sits. Just as one rounded Betty's Cove turn.

Regards,

Don
