• Notes

  Evening Telegram, May 25, 1907 All About a Tub of Butter. LEVI DRODGE and his brother Thomas came up from the Battery this forenoon for some fishery supplies. After loading their punt with pork and flour, they pulled her down to Bowring Bros, wharf to take on board a tub of butter weighing 20 lbs., and valued at $4. Thomas Drodge brought the butter from the store and placed it on a puncheon of molasses that was on the wharf. He then went to speak to a friend, and on his return he missed the butter. He searched high and low, but couldn't find any trafce of it. The matter was reported by Levi to the police, and Constable John Simmonds was sent to hunt it up. Having received a slight clue, he went on hoard a schooner from Conception Harbor, where he found the tub of butter. It had been put on board of the schooner by one the crew in mistake, thinking that it was intended for them. 1921 census for St. John's - Lower Brattery levi
