Summary:  John and Jane Meagher's farm was located in what is now part of the Lake Lamont - Lake Major watershed area in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. April 11, 1842 was a beautiful warm spring day, and two of their children, Jane Elizabeth Meagher, age 6, and her sister, Maggie, age 4, walked together from their home and became lost in the woods. The following evening there was a two-inch snowfall. Eventually, almost three thousand volunteers joined the search for the lost children. The bodies of the two girls were found six days after they left home. They had walked about five or six kilometers and had died of exposure within a day or two of becoming lost. Author Bob Lindsay is a retired teacher and former Scout leader who shares the results of his research into this local nineteenth century tragedy.
