The Story...
  
Someone's mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year.
She told the family that she and her neighbours woke up in the

night feeling something was wrong. It took a while but they

finally realized that it was the lack of noise.

They had all become so used to the roar of the

falls that the silence was unusual enough to

alert their senses.  Of course at that time nearly

all the houses were near the falls.

Amazing pictures, almost 100 years old.
