We needed to ford at this point, as had been done in earlier times by our forebearers. This disadvantage we had was that not everybody had boots, no one had a horese or other vehicle, nore was there a bridge. By walking down stream, perhaps 1/4 mile we found a tree across the stream, though not appearing to be too safe. I, in my boots, had no problem. I helped Debbie across the tree. The others, whom I thought were quite foolish, pulled off their shoes . and socks, rolled up their pants legs and waded! Of course, they were all so old they had no feelings in their extremities anyway, so the cold water made no difference to them. (This is a joke kids, don’t get upset).
After getting back in the road on the other side of the Thornton, three of us went back up to the site of Hull School. Dave Marshall Dwyer had" gone to school here one year and Annie for several.
Coming back down again wTe turned left off the trail onto another road which would now be considered . a private drive, which took us to the site of the Joseph W. Bowen or as he • was better known, Joe Billy Bowen,. home. There was an outside kitchen with a cellar, spring house and well, all of which had cement or concrete foundations. There was also an ice house, below the house and garden, I’m told built of logs, which now ap- . pears only as a large sink hole in the ground.
Back on the road we were shown were the ice pond was as well as the saw mill had been, all belonging to Joe Billy Bowen.
