BAYFIELD, ONTARIO
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1964
Perhaps one of the highest turnouts per capita
in Huron County paid tribute to the dead of World
Wars I and II and Korea when the residents of
Bayfield and district turned out Sunday morning
following the regular church service to pay homage
to those who gave their lives for the Canadian
way of life. This photo of Frank McFadden, chair-
man of the village trustees, is typical of the scene
in which wreaths were laid by a score of persons
on behalf of most organizations in the area. See
complete report of the event in the news columns
elsewhere on this page. (Bulletin Photo)

Saturday Rites !Remembrance Parade
At Bayfield For Held Sunday at Bayfield Ernie Featherston
The Bayfiel dParade of Veterans of two world
wars with Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies was
held on Sunday, November 8th, under sunny skies.
Ernest Atkinson Featherston
(lied on Thursday, November 5
in Branson Hospital, Willow-
dale, Ont., in his 79th year.
Born at Water-down, Ont., on
January 4, 1886, his parents
were John Featherston of
Hamilton and the former Isa-
bel Hampton.
Mr. Featherston farmed in
Spaulding, Sask., and later
worked as a printer with the
Saskatoon Star Phoenix and al-
so with the Talbot Printing
(Airsipany, London. He moved
to Bayfield 40 years ago and
operated his own store for
many years.
Active in community work,
he was a member of the board
of management of Trinity An-
glican Church, an LOL mem-
ber and a former chairman of
the Village Trustees.
The funeral service in Bay-
field Anglican Church on Sat-
urday, Nov. 7, was followed by
interment in Bayfield Cemet-
ery with Rev. E. J. B. Harris-
on officiating.
Pall-bearers were William
Bryant, William Reid, Robert
Reid, Clarence Larson, Glen
Smith, William Parker, Jr., and
flower bearers, Fred Weston,
Lloyd Heard, Edward Rowse,
and Charles Reid, all nephews
of the deceased.
Surviving are his widow, the
former Clara Parker whom he
married on Feb. 11, 1914; a
daughter, Doris (Mrs. Keith
Leonard, Willowdale); a bro-
ther, Edwin, Ottawa; a sister,
Mabel (Mrs. E. G. Bryant,
Hamilton) and six grandchil-
dren.
Persons attending the funer-
al from a distance came from
Burlington, Hamilton, London,
Clinton, Goderich, Wallaceburg
and Willowdale.
The Village tribute was a
simple one, but lacked nothing
in solemnity. About 150 people
joined those parading in Clan
Gregor Square to pay silent
homage to the memory of the
fallen and especially those sons
of Bayfield whose names are
inscribed on the Cairn.
The parade formed at the
Albion Hotel at 10.30 a.m. and

Church for the service at 11
a.m. The Rev. Canon F. H.

brance.

By W. E. Elliott)
"It is a pleasure to enjoy
the warmth of this gathering of
the Huron County family,"
Hon. Charles MacNaughton
said in course of a brief speed
at the warden's banquet, and
that sentence set the key of
the evening's program—toasts
and responses of the most var-
ied, but always in happy vein.
There were many warm trib-
utes to the work of Warden
Ralph Jewell during the year,
and when his turn came to
respond he began by saying:
"This has been a wonderful
night." An important factor
was the exceptionally fine beef
dinner sewed by the ladies of
orth St. United Church, con-
vened by Mrs. Jack Cook and
Mrs. Robert Wilson. They were
formally thanked by Reeve Ivan
Haskins, of Howick, from the
head table.
Huron Natives
So thoroughly a "Huron fam-
ily" affair was it that the prin-
cipal speaker, Rev. R. M. Bisset
of Avondale and Motherwell,
qualified as a native of the
county, and so did the newly
appointed county judge, R. S.
Hetherington, who estimated
that he knew "about half the
people here -- the north half."
Of course there were "neigh-
bors" among the guests. Lorne
Edgar, reeve of Brooke and
warden of Lambton, represent-
ing them at the head table,
introduced Warden Chester
Emmerton and wife, of Bruce;
Warden Wilbur Johnson and
wife, of Middlesex; Warden and
Mrs. James McMillan, Welling-
ton; Mrs. Vera Myers, clerk-
treasurer of Wellington; War-
den D. C. White of Perth;
Clerk-treasurer John Hair and
Mrs. Hair, Lambton; Warden
Reed Menzies and Mrs. Men-
zies, with treasurer Martin
Burgess and Mrs. Burgess, Kent
county, and Warden E. Moore,
of Grey.
Family Tone
Walter J. Forbes, of Goderich
lbwriship, last year's warden of
Huron, was chairman, and his
humorous bits of biography and
reminiscence maintained the
"family" tone throughout. Un-
fortunately, Mrs. Forbes was
not with him, being a patient
in Victoria Hospital, London,
but doing well and expected
home .at the weekend. Mr.
Fbrbes introduced the head
table guests: Hon. C. S. Mac-
Naughton and Mrs. MacNaugh-
ton; Rev. R. M. Bisset; Judge
and Mrs. R. S. Hetherington;
Murray Gaunt, provincial mem-
ber for Huron-Bruce; NVarden
Ralph Jewell and Mrs. Jewell;
Rev. W. J. ten Hoopen and
Mrs. ten Hoopen; Reeve Frank
Wallcom of Goderich, who de-
livered the address of welcome,
and Mrs. Walkom; Reeve Ivan
