This story comes to you from a Nova Scotia village known as Kemptville, which is Yarmouth County's most inland community. Florence Prout was a strong-willed woman who was born here in the late 1800s and grew up to raise her own family here. She lived through many good times as well as bad, while displaying to those around her good examples of overcoming all odds. Some may laugh, while others may cry, but after reading this touching story, you will no doubt come to love her, just as by knowing her, did I.
