Friends were present from Toron- to, London, Preston and Grand Bend, and wished the couple many Years of 'continued happiness. Birthday Stirs (Continued from Page 2) to the church! Ah, -yes, that was many years ago. But its all fond and cherished memory. The Tom Baird farm, at the corner of the second concession, that was a busy intersection. How well t recall the old bridge there -rather sharp turn, wasn't it? But those were horse and buggy days (the ones I'm speaking about), not these wild auto days when some try to negotiate a curve at 80 miles per hour. Many hundreds of loads of gravel passed by the Tom Baird farm -the pit (Was it the Camer- on pit?) was just east of the ceme- tery. Aid the hundreds of funeral processions (in the old days, 20 to 30 horse and buggy processions) passed that way, up Joe McCully's hill and on to that sacred spot where lie so• many stalwart pio- neers of Huron County. I imagine this grand lady must often travel in memory to these and other scenes. She had a won- derful husband, a man who, as far as I• knew never had an enemy. How could he? Tom Baird was admired' by everyone. His daily life was truly a • shining example for anyone to observe and follow. My own mother (Bessie Mc- Queen O'Neill) Passed away ten years 'ago this month, at 91., Bill Berry, Wilson's dad, used to re- mind me that he and my .mother were exactly the same age. Time marches on! A marvelous change has come to the area I knew so w ell. • As I lay awake at night,. sometimes travel .back g ,): v 1 to yonder years --years we'll never know again. I go up and down the streets and- roads; and I wonder, "Who .lives there .now?" . I think of thisone, or that one, and I won- der would I know 'them now if perchance I met them, here, or, there today. As the clock ticks{ away the time, even as Lapeer sleeps, I- like to -travel - back to Hart's windmill, Baird's Corners, and all those spots -it's pleasant, and I love it. Time maxche on=and takes its toll too. \ e were shocked to learn that Geoil'ge Swan had passed on. The last time I heard from George -last Fall -he wrote: "Jim, we ought to try and get together soon. Time is passing for all of us, the very few of us, of the old sehbol, who still remain," , Indeed, yes! Well, we didn't get together again. He probably didn't 'feel well enough to travel here, and he. understood that I haven't ,left the home for over 15 ,minutes in- almost two years since my wife was stricken with a sec- ond stroke. But, like Jim Foote used to say in his earlier sermbns: "There' are better days coming; they'll be coming by and by." Yes, there will be another get-together, I know.
