              Nicholson, Patrick (Boston, Worcester)

                  The beginnings of the settlement at the Backlands of Beaver Cove

              The pioneers brought only two trunks - one for bedclothes, the other for tools

              All was lost in a fire...

              Nicholson, Rod Beaver Cove:

              Settlers took large tracts of land because it was free

              Beaver Cove Forty families lived in the Backlands at that time

              People were very musical, good dancers

              Nicholson, Patrick Boston:

              Tracing genealogy

              Marriages were arranged well in the early days

              Food was plentiful

              Mills, churns and grindstones...

              The history of one particular family

              Nicholson, Rod Beaver Cove:

              Genealogy of some family

              Genealogy of some families

              Bagpipes, fiddle and loom in every house

              Four children died in one night...

              People had faith - walked six miles to church

              Nicholson, Patrick Boston:

              Parish lesson written on a shingle

              The first settlers at Beaver Cove

              Schools and teachers in yesteryear

              Church services were all in Gaelic

              Archie Gillis got the priest to cure his wife

              Nicholson, Rod Beaver Cove:

              Priests confiscated violins

              Strange stories of second sight

              Item is an audio recording of a conversation with Roddie F. Nicholson and John Nicholson.

              Song concerning the building of the house

              I can write a letter, I can read a letter, and I can send a letter anywhere!

              What subjects were taught in school

              Did they write well in the back woods?

              Mental figuring

              What about the cats whiskers?

              Tell us all you know about local history

              Diseases and cures of the times

              Were people brought into build houses?

              No one was lazy in those days. No very rich, no very poor.

              Could they make a living off the land now as they did in your times?

              Diseases such as appendicitus were certain death in those times?

              Was there any heavy drinking in those times?
