IN THE YEARS AGONE
September 30, 1887
• Mr. Lewis Braund of Exeter
returned last Monday
evening from England,
where he has been for the
past two months, and
while there he was not
idle, for he has secured the
pleasure of an amiable
partner to accompany him
unto life's journey's end.
May health and happiness
be the future lot of Mr. and
Mrs. Braund.
• One evening last week
Mrs. Jon Popplestone, of
Exeter, purchased some
butter for family use. In
order to keep it cool she
placed it in a pail to which
was attached a rope, and
the butter was placed
down into the well. The
next morning she pulled
up the pail for the purpose
of getting some butter for
breakfast. The pail was
alright and apparently just
as she had left it the night
before, but the butter was
gone, some person having
stolen it during the night.
• John Moore of Wingham
who was recently injured
by a train at Woodstock,
was brought home on
Thursday last. At first it
was reported that he had
lost his left foot entirely,
but such is not the case as
the heel was taken off. It is
thought his foot can be
saved, although the doc-
tors in Woodstock were
very careless in operating
on him.
• At a meeting of the Exeter
council one night last
week, held for the purpose
of considering the advisa-
bility of taking steps for
the purchase of a steam
fire engine for the better
protection of village prop-
erty, it was decided not to
take any steps with that
object in view just now.
The reason assigned for
this action is the cost of an
engine and the difficulty of
getting sufficient water to
supply it. Exeter has now
practically no fire protec-
tion worth speaking of.
• Ten or twelve years ago the
town of Seaforth invested
$12,000 in providing a
thorough system of fire
protection, and it has
proven one of the most
profitable investments
ever made by the town.
September 27, 1912
• Mr. W. D. Sanders of the
second concession of Ste-
phen, near Exeter, has pur-
chased a motor plow,
which it is said will plow
ten acres a day. This
should be a labour saver
as well as a horse saver.
• While driving to Exeter fair
on Tuesday of last week,
councillor Robert Bell of
Tuckersmith, and his wife,
had a narrow escape from
serious injury. As they
were driving along the
London road they met a
moto cycle, on which two
men were riding. At sight
of it their horse became
unmanageable and sprang
into the ditch, and finally
smashed a wheel on a
fence. In the meantime the
cyclists had rushed past
without stopping or paying
the slightest attention. But
their time was coming. On
arriving at Exeter Mr. Bell
informed a constable of
his mishap. The latter
phoned to Clinton to have
the gents detained. This
was done and they
pleaded guilty, paid the fi
ne and costs, and settled
for the damage done to the
buggy.
• We are pleased to report
that Mr. Robert Dowie, of
Hensall, who was so
severely injured in the fl
owering mills, is improv-
ing as well as could be
expected, and has this
week gone to the Clinton
hospital, where still better
care and attention can be
given him.
September 30 1987
• The Town of Seaforth may
have to take a more active
role if it wants Cheshire
Inc., to locate a business
in town. The Montreal-
based pants manufacturer
has been looking into set-
ting up operations at the
former shoe factory in
Seaforth but is having
trouble negotiating a lease
with Agnew Group Inc.,
who leases the property
from the U.S. based
Genesco.
■ The 142nd Annual Sea -
forth Fall Fair was a suc-
cess again this year.
Organizers say approxi-
mately 1,200 to 1,500 peo-
ple attended the event.
• Despite some mid-after-
noon showers Sunday the
Van Egmond Foundation's
13th annual Ciderfest went
over like mom's apple pie.
It was a big hit. Organizers
estimate between 1,500
and 2,000 people attended
the event, slated as one of
the oldest going Ciderfests
in the area. People
attended from as far away
as British Columbia and
Michigan, USA.
October 1, 1937
• Arrangements have been
completed by the resi-
dents of Brucefi eld to for-
ward a car of foodstuffs to
stricken families in the
Western drought area.
■ The CNR is gratuitously
cooperating and will place
a car sometime during
October at Brucefield sta-
tion and will deliver it in
Saskatchewan free of cost,
provided the people adja-
cent to this station will
fill it with fruits and
vegetables.
• Always a contentious sub-
ject at any joint political
meeting in the Huron, the
temperance issue once
more on Wednesday after-
noon at the meeting which
followed the official nomi-
nations in Hensall Town
Hall, let to such an uproar
that the meeting got out of
hand and adjourned in
disorder.
• A truck of the Harrison
Packers Ltd., was damaged
and a hydro pole was
snapped on a curve just
west of Seaforth on Tues-
day night, but the driver,
Charles Jerry, escaped
injury in the collision,
Traffic Officer J.W.
Calander reports.
• According to the driver, his
brakes seized when he
applied them to slow down
for a curve, the truck going
to jittery and travelling 57
feet along a ditch into the
pole.
October 4, 1962
• Seaforth Public School
athletes with champion-
ships in two classes gath-
ered a total of 83 points to
take second place in the
Huron public schools
sports meet at RCAP Sta-
tion, Clinton Monday
afternoon. Seaforth
entrants rang up new
records in four events. In
the senior boy's class, Don
Hulley, of Seaforth, won 23
out of a possible 25 points.
Nancy Hulley won the jun-
ior girl's championship,
with Peggy Cornish in
third place. Nancy cap-
tured two firsts and three
seconds, and in the pro-
cess broke the high jump
and 50 yard dash records.
Peggy Cornish won a first
and three thirds, and
broke the hop step and
jump record, while Carol
Bell won a first and a third.
• Arthur Mountford, treas-
urer of Top notch Feeds
Limited here was among
those who received a
diploma as industrial
accountant, at a cere-
mony in London on
Thursday. The event took
place at a meeting of the
London chapter of the
Institute of Industrial
Accountants.
• The Hensall Legion jack-
pot this Saturday night
will be $105 in 58 call,
with two door prizes.
