She awakened her husband and together they rushed out. Walter got the truck out safely and Mrs. Johnston backed the car out, The Bayfield Fire Brigade ar- rived in about 15 minutes and soon had the fire under control. They left about midnight. It was caused by an overheated stove pipe from a bean boiler in the garage. That corner of the building was burned. Probably the dampness saved the conflagratloin' from spreading more quickly.

At present she is visiting her sisters, Misses A. M. and E, J, In the methods of work and way of life over the -years Mrs, MacKenzie feels . that the greatest change has-'been in farming. In her young • day the farm 'was more self-sufficient. Sheep were raised and the wool spun by hand .to make into yarn, blankets and homespun' cloth• for clothing; maple syrup, home-made soap were Made on the farm in her girl- hood., to say nothing of the paring and drying of apples; And it isn't so long ago that the churn and pork. barrel disappeared' off the' farm. Milne did, not hang heavily on -young folks hands in those days. If they were to be successful there was' work to occupy them. They made their own amusements and had plenty of fun as well as hard work.

M. and K. 3, Stirling.. She was the recipient of beautiful .flowers, -cards and congratulatory Messages, And for this celebration there were two birthday Oakes, Grandchildren called during the afternoon, making the day a very happy one, After dinner the family gathered around to reminisce. Born on March 28, 1866, on "Ceda.rdale Farrn',' fourth. .cences-. sion (now owned by Greytien- pa), Goderich Township, she was the second oldest in the family of 14 children of Rebecca Jane Col- well and William Stirling. She was baptized Mary Elizabeth by • the Rev, Mr. Macdonald of • the Presbyterian Church in SepSorth, who had married her parents; , She attended- SS 8; Goderieh Township—;the new school which still stands today — commencing claases. in 1871. To those days' the new school was crowded, eSpeciagy in winter when the older boys Who were needed on the farm during spring and summer attended. Benches were often placed around the walla. Two teachers whom Mrs, MacKenzie recalls especially • were Peter Cantelon and Alice Welsh. • The Stirling familir attended the old. Bethany Church and filled, two. pews. The earliest Presbyterian minister, Mrs. MacKenzie recalls was the Rev. Mr, Patterson, She took music lessons from Mrs, Pat- terson. (Bethany Presbyterian Church, situated on the corner of Alvin Settles' farm on the sixth' conces- sion and Bethany (Methodist) on the Cutt Line near the fourth con- cession, were demolished after ehtirch union in, 1925, and parts of each church built into Grace Unit- ed Church, Porter's Hill. In it may be seen the pulpit from Beth- any). "Pretty Mary" was wooed and won by Donald MacKenzie - of the second concession, Goderich Town- ship. There were many guests to see them united in marriage by the Rev, William Graham at "Cedardale Farm" on February 25, 1896, at 6.30 p.m. Her sister, Re- becca (Mrs. Fred Johnston), St. Ignace, was bridesmaid, and the late Donald Galbraith, hest man. Following the festivities they took up housekeeping at the groom's home. )Here; three children were born to them: Jessie (Mrs. Sherlock Keyes), Varna; Donald, , on the homestead, and Jean (Mrs. Conn Campbell), Bronson Line, Stanley Township. Sorrow came early with the sud- den death,of her husband who was killed by a falling tree in the bush In December 1908. With, her mother-in-law, sister• in-law, Miss Carrie MacKenzie, and three small children, they managed the farm and persevered in the face of great odds. As the children grew,, they assumed more of the farm work' and thores. When' Don was 11 'he... stopped school to take a marl's .' place on the farm. Perhaps it was Mrs. MacKenzie's sense of humor and great faith which tided her over many a dif- ficult time. Twice the has' suffer- ed a fractured hip — once before. leaving the farm and again in the village Following . her marriage, her church affiliation was with St. Andrew's Presbyterian, Bayfield. • Varna Local 131 Farmers' Union SPECIAL MEETING Wed., April 11 8.80 p.m. TOWNSHIP HALL, VARNA, • Special Speaker: ALBERT CORMACK, Pres. of Ontario Faunas' Union, EVERYONE WELCOME - Ladies Especially
