| Summary: | trestle n My room-mate, Elaine Peddle (student, 20, of Hodge's Cove), told me some words she heard her Aunt Olivia (Mrs. Olivia Drover of Hodge's Cove) use while she was home for the weekend. She said they were ones that only the old people (some of them) use. Mrs. Drover has used these words since approximately 1930. To Elaine's father, William Peddle, and to her aunt too, a "trussel" is a bridge anywhere along a railway track. I always understood trussel to be a bridge over a railway track for people to go over as part of the road so they wouldn't have to cross the track itself. This is my own idea and prob- ably I'm wrong. Not used Not used Not used [see 'trustle'
