Rivers history notes span births floods and rail talks
Seventy five years ago a Royal Train stop in Rivers and June 1949 storms left basements flooded. Fifty five years ago boil water advisories appeared as families welcomed new births. Thirty five years ago a horse show win and anniversaries marked the community. Five years ago notable retirements and incidents included a stabbing case and a minister’s retirement.
