RECoLLEcTIONS OF 1898 s During the severe storm of Sunday, local residents recalled the near-blizzard of Feb. 20, 1893. That date was the 1eth wedding anniversary of the parties in question, who then resided in a nelghbor- ing town. Friends had purchased as an- niversary gifts several nice pieces of fur niture from the Prentice Furniture com pany, at that time located on Franklin street, Norwich. The goods were deliv- cred while the blizzard was raging, horses having had to blow through snowdrifts in covering the long. tedious route. The driver and helpers nearly perished before reaching their destination. The recent storm was decidedly similar in compa1i- 1 son.
