Mrs. Stanley, of Granton, Quite Active at 85
One of the most interesting per
sons whom it has been the privilege
of the Journal-Argus to meet for a
long time is Mrs. W. D. Stanley, of
Granton, a lady who has passed her
eighty-fifth birthday. Mrs. Stanley
is a remarkable woman. She is today
as active and industrious as most
ladies of half her years. We called
at her snug cottage, just off Gran
ton’s >main street on Tuesday morn
ing and enjoyed a half-hour’s chat
with her.
In reply to our query, Mrs. Stanley
stated that she was born at Stratton-
on-the-Soss, Somersetshire, England,
not far frlom Bristol, her parents be
ing Edwin Brooks and his wife, Ann
Gunning. For some years her
father was employed at an agricul
tural college and acquired a know
ledge of cattle which later stood him
in good stead in the Canadian iback-
woods. When she was a little girl
of four years., the family embarked
on the sailing vessel Cosmo, at the
port of Bristol, bound for the New
World.
Walked’ to Pioneer Home
They were eight weeks on the At
lantic, finally landing at New York,
they were still a long distance from
their destination, which was the
home of her uncle William Gunning,
who lived at Whalen, twelve miles
west of St. Marys. Most of the dis
tance w*aS' accomplished by stage.
But finally arriving at Elginfield the
last few miles had to be covered on
foot through the woods. The family
baggage was locked in two huge
trunks which contained clothing,
dishes, and a few household trea
sures from the old home in England.
Mrs, Stanley has yet in her posses
sion some fragile-looking pieces of
china, perhaps a hundred years old
which survived the rough Atlantic
voyage and are still unbroken. She
also has a beautiful Paisley shawl
which has been in the family pro
bably over a hundred years.
' Melodeon (heated Sensation
William Gunning, who was one of
the first settlers of the Whalen dis
trict. had a small shanty on his part
ly cleared place and also a barn that
for a short time furnished a living
place for the newly arrived brother-
in-law. wife and family. Then Mr.
Brooks got a bush farm on the 10th
concession of Blanshard. After three
years he rented a place on the South
Boundary, Blanshard. After seven
years there he purchased lot 8, North
Boundary, Biddulph, where he spent
his remaining years. Life was very
simple in those days, and there was
an abundance of hard work. The
Brooks family invested in a melod
eon some time later. This diminu
tive organ was the first musical in
strument in the settlement. And on
Sundays the neighbors would flock
in to< hear it. This quaint affair is
still in Mrs. .Stanley's ploSsession,
Married the Teacher
There was no school in the dis
trict until Mrs. Stanley was about
ten years old. Her mother was
somewhat delicate so that the young
daughter had to stay home a good
deal to help in the household and
farm duties. It was from her mother
that she received most of her early
education. Her teacher at the Whal
en school was a young chap. William
D. Stanley, who seemed to take an
unusual interest in his pupil from the
first. Finally wedding bells were
ringing and the school teacher took
to himself a wife, in the person of
the subject of this sketch.
The old adage “Two can live cheap
er than one’’ appeared to apply in
this case. Out of a salary of $270,
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley saved $200'. At
the end of a year and a half Wil
liam resigned his school and bought
a farm, sloutheast of Granton vil
lage. which has remained -in the
family from that day until this. It
was- a rough place in those days,
with a wild roadway leading past
the farm. Today it is one of the
finest .farms in the township.
In the days of clearing the farm
and raising a young family, there
was lots of work to do. Mrs. Stan
ley has turned her hand to every
thing -but ploughing at one time or
another. She als|o acquired a habit
of industry which has been a factor
in keeping her young even into her
middle eighties.
Husband a Public Figure
Mr. Stanley had a flair for public
life and for forty years he was more
or less occupied with municipal du
ties. He served for many years as
township councillor, later as Reeve,
and finally Warden of Middlesex Co.
On retiring from the Wardenship he
was presented with a beautiful il
luminated address, expressing high
appreciation of his valued services
tlo the county. Later for many years
Mr. Stanley served as Clerk of Bid
dulph Township. This stalwart and
public-spirited citizen passed on to
his reward in 1917.
Of the six children who grew -to
adulthood, five are living. Dr. J.
Russel Stanley, Mayor of St. Marys
and one of the finest citizens the
Stone Town has ever had, passed
away in 1927. The others are T. E.
A. Stanley, B.A., of Calgary; Victor
Stanley, who is on the old home
stead; Clarence ;Stanley, B.S.A., In
spector of the Kellogg Co., of Can
ada, London, Ont.; Mrs. C. M. Webb
Granton, and Miss Pearl Stanley,
who with her mother, have resided
in Granton village the past several
years.
Nimble Fingers Fly
Mrs. Stanley has taken a life-long
interest in the work of the church.
She gave the lot upon which the
Methodist Church was built many
years ago and contributed the mon
ey that completed the mortgage pay
ment on the church. Her indefat
igable needles have plyed unceas

ity. Every year two bales g!o to the

Mount. They were both mountain-

ning of His ministry, the other to
ward the close. In His message on
the Mount of Olives, He answered a
question of His disciples as to His
return and the end of the age. This
week’s lesson gives the closing part
of this, great prophecy uttered by
the Son of God.
It begins with the words: ‘When
the Son of man shall come in His
glory.” .SO Christ is coming again.
Over and over again He declared
that He would thus come. In that
great message of comfort (John 14)
beginning with the words, “Let not
your heart be troubled; ye believe
in God, believe also in Me.” he said:
“I go t|o prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place
you, I will return again.”
A very striking fulfilment
prophecy in connection with
Lord’s return is occuring constantly
today, with entire unconsciousness
on the part of those who fulfil it.

go on. they say. Why should we be
lieve that Christ is coming back
again? This denial of His return
began in the first century, and as
Peter wrote: “Knowing this first,
that there shall come in the last days
scoffers, walking after their own
lusts, and saying: where is the pro
mise of His cbming,
fathers fell asleep all
ue as they were from
of the creation. (11
Then Peter goes on to explain pa
tiently “But, beloved, be not ignor
ant of this one thing, that one day
is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand year as. one
day. The Lord is not slack con
cerning His promise, as some men
count slackness, but is long-suffer
ing to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.”
Do you believe in angels? The
Lord, did 1 He tells us, in the les
son, that'when He comes again there
shall be “all the holy angels .with
Him.’’ It is a striking fact that
angels appeared on earth at the time
of His birth in Bethlehem at the time
of Hi* resurrection in the garden, at
the time of His* ascension from tho
Mount of Olives; and now we learn
here and from II, Thessalonians 1:7
that angels will accompany Him up
on His return. It was two angels
who said to the disciples who “look
ed steadfastly toward Heaven” as
the Lord ascended: “Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
Heaven? This same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into Heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye
■have seen Him go into Heaven.”
The Lord tells us that when He
comes again He will “sit upon the
throne of His glory; and before
Him shall be gathered, all nationsi.”
His glory wasi voluntarily laid aside
when He was on earth “in the days
of His flesh.” It was the gltory of
God His1 Heavenly Father, for the
night before He was crucified He
prayed”: “And now, O Father, glori
fy Tlilou Me with Thine own self
with the glory which I had. with
thee before the world was.” (John
17:5) And Christ is* to take the
•throne when He comes again, for
“God also hath highly exalted Him
and given Him a name which is
above every name: that at the'name
of Jesus every knee sh'ould bow.”

TRUCK-ENGINEERED THROUGHOUT
FIVE distinct, truck-built chassis are included in the
sales-leading Chevrolet Truck line for 1934. New,
larger, more convenient cabs are provided for all models.
Increases in load-space range from 17% to 31% in the
panel, single unit express and pick-up bodies—with
correspondingly greater capacity a characteristic of the
whole Chevrolet-built body line.
These facts indicate how Chevrolet truck-engineering
meets and keeps ahea.d of the demands of modern haul
ing. In addition, Chevrolet engineers have made many
chassis improvements, including: stronger frames, more
durable clutches and transmissions, stiffer springs, longer-
lived axles and the new Special six-cylinder Truck Engine
with exclusive Marine Type cylinder head.
