back:  September 21, 1938 will long be remembered as the date of the Disastrous Hurricane which swept New England an upheaval of Nature seldom , if ever known to this part of the country.  In its wake it left behind a horrible death toll of over 600, with another 100 persons still missing:  nearly 6,000 homes were completely destroyed and the total damage amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars.  The fury of the wind crippled power, light and telephone systems, uprooted hundreds of thousands of great trees and countless smaller tree, and wrecked an untold amount of boats and small craft.
