Reading local rag "This Week in History" :
"Dr E.S.T. Smellie was our own local hero! During the smallpox scare of 1892, immigrants infected with smallpox were locked in a railway car which was pushed out of town and abandoned. Dr Smellie intervened by opening the railcar and caring for the sick. All but one survived."
