JM Tuesday Sunday 17th May, 3.00pm Hintlesham Community Hall Circle They travelled on by wagon train, finally reaching Oregon where they set up a ranch. During their time there they faced not only Indians, but cougars, rattlesnakes and wild bears and it sounded as if Mrs Cupper was as handy with a shotgun as her husband, sometimes facing these dangers on her own to protect her children. We had a very interesting and stimulating meeting in March when Mr Geoffrey Robinson described the amazing journey made by Henry Cupper of the Framlingham area and his equally courageous wife and three young children in the 19th Century, across the Atlantic in the middle of January to reach New York. They then went by train across the United States to California. During this long journey a fourth child was born on the train but unfortunately did not survive. Our next meeting on the 7th April has as a speaker Mr Phil Hadwen. Again it is history but this time on the History of Felixstowe (part 2). We heard Part 1 last year and now look forward to the sequel. 6 Hintlesham Golf Club Join us for Sunday Luncheon Advance booking advisable.
