The TALES you probably never heard about

CROWLAND

[Welland Tribune, 27 May 1898]

- A rather curious event happened in Crowland a week ago. Mrs. Schroeder has been helpless with paralysis for nearly a year, and has been nursed by her niece until lately, when a professional nurse from Buffalo was engaged. The nurse was not suited with her surroundings, but did not wish to leave until other help was obtained. On Friday night a grave was neatly dug in Mrs. Schroeder’s garden. Not only has it frightened Mrs. Schroeder, but it has aroused the fears of the neighborhood, some thinking that a murder was contemplated.
