Clarence told us the original house was in east field by lane; and that a barn was burned by lightening and rebuilt before the house was finished. "The storm which passed around Hespeler during the noon hour last Friday descended with great violence in Puslinch. The rain was heavy and the lightning terrifying. The barn of Those Paddock on the 1st concession of Puslinch was struck at 12:30 and the fire which followed completely destroyed it. The barn was a large one, and besides containing his complete hay crop of 22 tons, also housed 200 bushels of oats, a new binder and new shuffler all of which were burned. Seven young pigs also fell victims to the flames. The barn and contents are insured in the North Dumfries and South Waterloo Fire Insurance Co. but the amount does not nearly cover the loss."
