1895 Buried in a Landslide
Five Members of a Family Swept into the Champlain River

Quebec, Sept. 23. - A report comes from St. Luc, Champlain county, of a disastrous landslide on the Champlain river Saturday night. Zephirim Normandin's house was carried away and five members of the family were buried in the debris. Three children escaped by jumping through windows, one of whom has since become insane as the result of the calamity. After great difficulty the residents of the vicinity succeeded in digging out the five dead bodies. Further destruction is almost certain as the river is blocked with the detached earth and the river bank is being inundated at other points.
