August 28, 1906Here's a downhill run in Stowe that Mrs. Magoon
will never forget!
|
On August 28, 1906, Mrs. Magoon was traveling by horse and buggy down Luce Hill in Stowe. She and her two children were on their way home from visiting her sister. Luce Hill Road is steep and winding. So much so, in fact, that the children were nervous and decided to get out and walk. The weight of the buggy and Mrs. Magoon was too much for the horses. The buggy picked up speed while the horses tried to get out of the way. An unsuspecting man coming up the hill narrowly escaped being hit. The buggy overturned, the horses ran off, leaving Mrs. Magoon unconscious with critical, but not fatal, injuries. The Vermont Book Of Days photos.

Luce Hill Road has many steep slopes and sharp turns.
Poor Mrs. Magoon found that out |
