Winter Blizzard Closes Roads Through South Whitefield
In South Whitefield and South Milo a Sunday snow blizzard left roads blockaded on Monday. Local residents shovel drifts around homes and main routes, with many people traveling and visiting to help clear paths. A baby was born New Year’s Day to Mr and Mrs Benny Hunt, while Earl C. Ross endorses Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. County court reports include real estate transfers and new marriage licenses amid travel disruptions.
