"When my father settled on lot twenty-seven on the seventh of Hullet..." James Snell [Thomas James Snell] told me, "Father's worldly goods consisted of the axe on his shoulder and a quarter in his pocket. Even two years later than that, when he married, it was often potatoes and cabbage for meals one day, varied by cabbage and potatoes the next." ^[6]
