MILFORD – As published in The Cabinet 85 years ago:

A hurricane lashed New England, causing millions of dollars of damage and many deaths. In the Souhegan Valley, hundreds of beautiful trees were uprooted, buildings were blown down or damaged, the fruit crop was virtually a total loss, and much damage was caused by floods. One of the most severely damaged homes in Milford was that of Mrs. Carl Howe on High Street, shown in the picture. A giant elm tree crashed through the house, nearly splitting it in two. It was several days before the tree could be removed. The house was repaired.
