The biographer promised to handle the situation: say that Uncle Willie occupied a chair of applied electronics at one of our leading government institut- ions.

The old railway station was well enough attached to its lo- cation in Dublin that it refused to be moved, at least in one piece. As a result, "Leo Kroonen, who bought the station has taken it apart, piece by piece, and moved it to his farm where it will retire to a life of sheltering farm machinery. Mr. Kroonen intended to move the station to his far m in one piece, but because of its con- struction, movers decided thay couldn't perform the operation. If they had tried, it would have fallen apart, they told /II/1r. Kroonen. History of the station goes back to 1858 when the building was erected to serve on the Buffalo and Lake Huron branch of the Grand Trunk Railway. Ambroe 0 . Pattison followed Timothy Carroll, the first station master, in 18'75. Mr. Carroll served a term as clerk of Hib- bert Township after his retire- ment from the railway business. Mr. Pattison was paid a total of $32.50 a month, plus all the cord wood, coal oil lights and other luxuries he could use in his free house. Elmer Keller was the last man to work in the station. He began as part-time caretaker in 1965 when Mr. Fisher re- tired as, the last station agent in Dublin. Mr. Keller handled only freight business. No pas- • sengers bought tickets trona the Dublin station, although they were able to board the train there.
