Mr. John McCurdy was keeping store and post office across the road in the store that was burned. Jas. Stevens built the first mill 49 years ago. The Public Library is the house that Mr. and Mrs. Brown first lived in. Jas. Shoebottom was keeping hotel; Mr. Henry Bonar was blacksmith in the shop now owned by (Mr, Frank An­ derson; John’ Callander also was a blacksmith and. superintendent of thp Methodist Sunday School. There was a small log building, where E. N. Shier's stable now stands and a Wm. Doure was a shoemaker in it. Mr. Timothy Eaton kept store in a log. building on the corner where E. N. Shier’s store now stands, before go­ ing- to St, Marys. There is no per­ son living in Kirkton to-day that was there when Mr. and Mrs. Brown came place onA very happy >event took Tuesday afternoon and evening when Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Brown cele- ; farated their -Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, have lived in Kirk- 1 ton and vicinity all their lives .and are the oldest couple in the village. Mr. Brown was born in the township of Downie 75 years ago and came with his parents, the late Mr. and’* Mrs. Robt. Brown to the third con- i cession of Blanshard when he was six years old; He is a stone mason and a brick -layer by trade and has always followed it, and many of the houses and bank barns around here were built by him. He has .always been a staunch Conservative and a past master of the Orange order which he belonged to for 5d years and in that time has- only missed 3 celebrations on the Twelfth of July. He is also a Bladk Knight. He has one sister living Mrs. H. C. Moulton, I of. Stratford, -who was present at the golden wedding. . Fifty years 'ago he married Eliza .A.'Doupe, eldest dau- ____^EDITORIAL trustees*r Mrs, R, R, Copeland, in St, and William v and Joshua of Vancouver. Mr. and Mrs. for their age are enjoying a EASTER. . Children rightly hail Christmas Day as the brightest of the,year. To older people, however, there is a calm joy about Easter found/ in no : other -Christian festival. And the „ reason for this joy is quite apparent. As men do the day’s work tliey • find themselves being bereft too goon of those whom they love most and who have, in their behalf, sacrificed most deeply. Father, with his strength, and experience of the world, lays down his burden when the shadows are still falling towards the west. Mother/ with her gentle- . ness and her strange power of giv­ ing one heart in dark days, folds her worn hands never more to busy them with the tasks of mortals. A little child opens its life like a love­ ly flower, filling the home with sweet fragance, only to be touched by an , unseen hand and to pass into the deep silence. Friends who have . wrought for us and with us lay down i the ^yardstick or the plane .or the plow never more to make life worth while to us, Little by little, the merry company who set out with us as we settled ourselves to ’ life’s grave tasks, fall out by the wayside, and we feel ourselves alone, few in­ terested in us and few about whom we care supremely. For us the best and finest we have known have taken the mysterious, journey into the strange country whence ’no one [returns. But on Easter morning the cur- tain seems to lift ahd inward thoughts and outer things conspire to assure us that those dear ones still live and that they are not far from any of us. The great company who have overcome and who have achieved seem to/touch our souls with new life and we take heart again assured that there is no lost life and no lost good. < in- 5 0 years ago.
