Bill, Thanks for posting this newspaper account of your relative John Cutter West and friends lost in the snow. It is a most interesting tale involving history, customs, family, and society from long ago. Thanks for sharing a story about oxen and snow and survival!
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Terry

Glad you enjoyed it, Terry.
Although I think the article should have been entitled "The Value of Oxen" instead!
