The house shuddered as another windstorm hit it. In the town of Clara, Anderson, the girls were saying good-night to one another. #2 Emil Anderson, the pastor, was returning home from a church conference in Hinckley. He was humming Swedish hymns and thinking about his final sermon. He was nervous about the address, but he had to deliver it tomorrow afternoon. #3 Evan Hansen, the man who would spend the day sorting and stacking freshly cut lumber, walked down Hinckley Big Hill toward the mill. The sun was up now, and the sky was yellow with smoke. #4 At 7 a. m. , Hansen began his shift at the Hinckley lumberyard. He walked through the yard, heading towards an incline where mule-drawn carts full of freshly cut lumber were already rattling. By the end of their shift, his crew expected to sort and stack several thousand more board feet of fresh-cut white pine.
