From Dora Baty Argyle:
Mother and Dad used to heat rock and brick to put on our
feet in the winter when we left for school in the sleigh. One day we got ourselves lost in a blizzard
that came up suddenly. We wandered
around all day before the storm cleared enough for us to tell where we
were. We found ourselves in the middle
of a field and realized we had gone in a circle all day. We were nearly frozen and the folks were
worried about us. Mother made doughnuts
and kept them hot. When we got home, we
ate them all. We had frozen feet and
fingers that day. Leslie's shoes were
frozen to his feet.
(1915 Ora and Dora Baty)

We don't have many photos from Dora's childhood because they were stored in the basement when the flood hit in Bancroft.
