V • Hogarth, Manager PNEUMONIA CLAIMS YOUNG FARMER OF USBORNE The news of the death of Mr. John Henry Cottle, north Thames Road, on Sunday last was received with re gret by his many friends in this com munity. Mr. Cottle was taken ill with pneumonia- on the Thursday previous. •„ The deceased was in the prime of life being in his 31st year and he leaves to mourn his loss, his widow and five small children, Mary,’ Lloyd, Olive, Leslie and Melvin. His mother, Mrs. David Cottle and three brothers, Charles, Clifford and Ed ward, of Hibbert, also survive. His father, a well-known drover passed 'away about a month ago. The sym pathy of the community goes out to the bereaved. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Jas, Anthony, interment ip Roy’s cemetery. DEATH OF CALEB HEYWOOD i Death on Sunday removed one of Exeter’s well-known citizens in th© person of Mr, Caleb Heywood, who for many years was a contractor and builder. Death, however, came as a welcome relief as for the past four years Mr, Heywood has been confin ed to his bed practically a helpless invalid. About 11 years Iago Mr. Heywood suffered, a paralytic stroke which was followed by another about a year later. He recovered suffic iently to be able to be around until about four years' ago when he suf fered the third stroke since which time he has been confined to his bed, The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia, The deceas ed was born in Usborne Township on the farm now occupied by Mr. Wm. Ford. He came to Exeter 52 years ago and followed his trade as contractor and builder. Just be fore coming to Exeter he was unit ed in marriage to Victoria Bagshaw, who with a family of seven children, mourns the loss of a loving husband and father. The family is Mrs. A, Moore, Garnet, Hector, Clarence, Mil dred and Clyde of this community and Alonzo, of Drumheller, Alta., principal of the schools there. Dur ing his long illness Mildred has ten derly cared for her father. Two brothers and two sisters also survive: Joshua and Esli; Mrs. Harry Par sons, of Exeter and |Mrs. Eli Lawson, of Crediton. One sad feature is that the oldest son, Garnet, is at present in a very critical condition with slight hopes for his recovery. The funeral of the deceased was held privately on Wednesday afternoon.

POST-NUPTIAL presentation A group of charivariers from Hu- rondale .numbering about thirty gathered at' the. home of Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Becker last Friday evening and presented them with a salad bowl and an .electric floor I Miss Maybelle IStrang read the address and Messrs. Clarence Down and Harry Strang made the presen tations. The address is as follows,— Deai’ Mr. and Mrs! Becker. We .are gathered here tonight as a natural sequal of the most famous charivari in our part of the country —one that will gp down in history. It was famous, in several particulars viz: the elusiveness of the .bride and groom; the persistency of their pur suers; the late hour at which they were at last discovered and the alarms raised, both in the places vis ited and among the- relatives of the charivariers. Not soon will we forget the thrill of the chase; the reckless gadding about the country; and the deafen ing noise, which we in concert man aged to make. ■ However in appreciation of the fact that we finally found and man aged to rouse the elusive objects of our pursuit; that they arose in the small hours at our behest and gen erously paid for the pandemonium raised for tlieir .special entertain ment, we have returned to visit them again. This time at more polite hours fol’ calling, bearing many good Wishes and also something more sub stantial in the shape Of this salad bPwl and floor lamp. We ask you to accept these and our earnest hopes that you Will, en joy many a .good Salad from the first and run no risk of straining eye-sight from the second. biiity of arrival site delayed apHpn'fr and then came the war.

McConnell’s mill was erected and men of confidence and foresight’ like the late Isaac Carling and James Pickard invested their money with the result that a settle ment became a reality. It was call ed “Exeter,” after the beautiful Dev onshire icity (from whose environs the majority of its first residents came. Mr. Carling was responsible for the name. Exeter had a post office long, be fore the incorporation as a village in 187'3. Still a comfortable dwell ing belonging to Miss Sanders, it was the home of the late William Sand ers, the village’s first postmaster and the owner of a 100-acre farm bordering ion the Rondon road, part of which forms .a business portion of the Main Street. Only a few re member its. use as post office. Many and many a time before it's door would stand John Rattenbury, mail carrier from Rondon to Goderich. Doubtless on numerous occasions Mr. Rattenbury would be unable to linger because his scheduled time of .a week for the return trip would be /prolonged to nearly a fortnight. The Last Stage Coach (Mr. Sanders then built the stores now occupied by J. Stanbury and F. Coates, to the south of his residence. This was over 60 years ago in the 60’s. The last stage driver to call at this, the second, postoffice, which was in the northern part of the building, was the late Ted Crawley, who used two stages and whose ser vices were retained by the govern ment six months after the Bruce Line Railway was running. Mr. Crawley had as assistant William Brooks, whose death in a mishap near Lucan caused a great deal of comment at the time. Mr. Crawley’s son, William, was associated many years with the London Loan Com pany in Rondon and his liome, r.e-, garded as being away out in the su burbs at the time of its erection, is now we|l in the city limit. When Mr. Sanders’ health failed, his son, Samuel, became his deputy. In addition to his postal duties which he performed for many years, Samuel acted? as telegraph operator. Mr. Kydd, a hale resident of 87 years, came here.80 years ago and was one of the first, if not the first, of those still living to go to the or iginal office. Dr. J. W. Browning, who is an active medical practition er, arrived in Exeter on July 3, 1867 just, two 'days after Confederation. The first' postmaster died in 1873 after he and his son had given many years of faithful service. Miss Mary Sanders, London, is a daughter of the late Samuel Sand ers and among, other descendants of William Sanders are his great grandsons, Borden and Britton, of Exe.ter, and another great grandson, C. H. McAvoy, a druggist in Wing ham. Miss Sianders continued the telegraph service in her home,, the original homestead, until about two years ago. ■Meantime the political tide in Canada had changed and the Mack enzie Government then in power, ap pointed David Johns. Mr. Johns moved the postal equipment across the street to his place of business, which was in a frame buliding sit uated where the store of W, J. Beer now stands.This was the third post office.
