the fire early Sunday morning that destroyed the building. Despite the almost complete destruction,
the gas pump in the foreground and tank to the right of the picture escaped the flames. Some of

The children of the head of a
prominent tinnily decided to give
him a book of their family's his-
tory, The biographer they hired
for the Job was warned of one
problem - Uncle Willie, the black
sheep, who had gone to the
electric chair for murder.
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. He was attached to his
position by the strongest of ties.
His death came as a true shock.
Mrs.: "They look like a happily
married couple, don't they?"
Mr. "True. But you can't
always go by looks. They probably
say the same thing about us."

saying something nice about the
person who sat on your left at
supper. Each member brought a
gift for patients in a nursing
home. The minutes were read
by Mrs. J. Statten and Mrs.
R. Burchill gave the treasurer's
report. Thank you notes were
read from Helen and John Nagle.
Mrs. Harold Pethick gave a ,
Christmas reading called ''The
Muted Drum".
Mrs. Friend then introduced
her daughter, ftIdy who showed
her slides and spoke on midwifery
and her 18 month stay in
Kentucky.
The Frontier Nursing Service
course consisted of housing con-
ditions, education, midwifery
service family care and trans-
portation by jeeps to remote
areas.

made by Mrs. R. Burchill and

gift to Miss Judy Friend. Mrs.

was then closed.
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.
Other agents at the station in
Dublin following Mr. Pattison
were: Joseph Rose, Mr. Ireland,
William Simons, Mr. Cosey, Mr.
Clark, Fred Forrester, Cecil
Van Horn, Wilber Mathers, Nor-
man Ohm, Edward Arnold, Hugh
J. Kelly, Mr. Fee, and Mr.F 'slier.
In taking the station apart,
Mr. Kroonen's children have dis-
covered three old dimes - one
from 1908, another 1909 and one
from 1911.

Killop.
