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."

Gabriel Feraud : I knew a man who was stabbed to death by a woman; gave him the surprise of his life.
Laura : I once knew a woman who was beaten to death by a man. I don't think it surprised *her* at all.
