Ronald Paul: Well they were sick, they were dying, dying of that bad, a white man’s bad disease, plague. It spread from Gagetown, Oromocto, then down on the reserve down here. It got down here to the reserve. Matilda, not Pauline, her house was turned into a hospital. That big house of hers, they turned that into a part-time hospital because people were coming in there to get quarantined at the reserve. They put a bunch of soldiers, so nobody can get in - nobody can get out - and they had to transport groceries and everything as far as the gate and then they had to put them over. They couldn’t let nobody out, they were dying just like flies, only a handful survived. That’s a bad thing. Wiped out all them Indians down Grand Lake area and Jemseg and all that.
