Description
A group of Granville men who gathered to cut wood for Joe Dickinson, who had been shot in a hunting accident.

This photo was shared on the Facebook (now "Meta") Granville-Tolland community page on 28 Oct 2021. Thanks to community comments Rebecca Hawley-Turcotte was able to add the following to the story of this photo: "He was with my grandfather [Harold Hansen] when he was injured, and actually it was from people that didn’t know what they were doing hunting. My grandfather never went hunting again." Darcy Jill Clifford also shared that "he was hospitalized for a long time after being shot by another."
