It also contained a store, school, post office (no in official records though) as well as 130 permanent residences. The mill shut down in the 40's and most farms were abandonned. In the 1910's a brutal murder occured in Snake Creek where a father and his son were found murdered under cruel circumstances. Submitted by: Yvan P.Charbonneau |
