The Winnipeg Free Press, dated 8 November 1967 published a Ripley's Believe It Or Not item and picture called "Circular Slumber". It read "Charles and Abigail Bowers were the first settlers of Ohio, Shelburne Country, Nova Scotia. Abigail was known as a resourceful pioneer woman. THey had seventeen children and the ten boys slept in a round bed, with all the bed covers made circular in order to prevent unequal portions." Some of the information is incorrect, as we know Abigail was married to Charles' son Philip.
Another family story connected to Abigail. Abigail (Abby) with her baby were crossing Jones' Lake on the ice to visit a neighbour when the ice gave wayunder her. She managed to get herself and the baby onto a certain rock and stay there until help came. The rock has been called "Abby's Rck" ever since. (from Auntie Marg's notes).
