Two weeks ago we highlighted the "Bonnet Club" from Chamberlin Corner. One of the ladies in the Bonnet Club was identified as Ida Fletcher. Here is her home at 184 Main Street after the Sept. 21, 1938 hurricane roared through. This scene was repeated all over town, the Merrimack Valley and up through Peterboro, NH. People had no idea a storm of this magnitude was coming. Hitting just at peak harvest time, the apple crop, as well as other fruit crops, was a disaster, not to mention massive devastation to homes. Power outages lasted for weeks and clean up went on for months. |
