It is said the skin peeled from -Lionel’s body, He was immersed to the neck. He was taken to the hospital. John Craddock, the first to fall in the -pond, is in -hospital with arms and legs badly burned. The pond, it is said, has reached an anusually high temperature in the past few days. The water is heat­ ed by steam exhaust from the mill, which was operating day and night for some time. ■ ' Severely Scalded' THURSDAY, APRIL 1st, 1037 I’ARKHILL COUPLE MARK WEDDING ANNIVERSARY They around -Corbett and Mr. and Mr-s.

Reid, bride-elect, of eaTly April, was guest of honor when the congregation of Clande­ boye Church met recently in the Sunday School room. Miss Reid was presented with a dinner set.

The re­ mainder of the evening was spent in progressive crokinole. A dainty lunch was served by the ladies. Miss Reid is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Reid, of concession 1, Stephen. 69 Years Married The family of Mr. and Mrs. Rich­ ard Hodgins, Sr., celebrated their wedding anniversary of 69 years, the evening of March 24th, at their home, Granton. Some 20 iguests were present and enjoyed the happy event. Mrs. Hod-gins, ( formerly Sarah Carty, was married to Rich­ ard Hodgin® in 1868 and is now 86 years young. -She can boast of the fact of not a grey hair in her head. Mr. Hodgins, nine years her senior, has reached the -ripe old- age of 96. Both are hale and hearty and no doi$t Mr. Hodgihs will- be seen in his garden as soon as the planting season opens up. After their mar­ riage Mr. and M.,rs. Hodgins lived in Biddulph Township 11 years and from there moved to Stephen Twp. in Huron -County. There they resided 2<8 .years and have since lived in the A Granton vicinity thirty years. With jthe exception of. one daughter (El­ len) .Mrs. Mark of Winnipeg, all the children including her' five sons, Richard, Hubert and ,Henry of Blanshard, Ekroh of Woodstock, James E. of Stephen Township M(:rs. iL. iHarlton celebrated happy event. The Guild of the glicafii Church of which Mr.. Mrs. Hodig,ins were members, Following this, he went to Water­ town, Wentworth County, where he is credited with having built the first hotel and ditsillery and- where be afterwards made farm imple­ ments. When the Rebellion of 18-37 broke out Flanagan raised- a com­ pany for active service and aided in checking the revolt. He then re­ turned to contracting wbrk, ' this time on the Wabash and Erie Canal and prior to moving to North Mid­ dlesex,' spent a couple of years .in Yarmouth Township, Elgin County. Mr. Flanagan eventually became reeve of McGillivray and was a jus­ tice of the peace, captain of militia, clerk of the division cuort and cor­ oner for lengthy terms. He is- re­ membered by -his generosity and hospitality and as one who was pos­ sessed with the proverbial Irish wit and good humor. Death removed this enterprising pioneer in 1-8164 when he was 63 years of age. As evi­ dence of ihis popularity, it is record­ ed that his funeral procession was two miles long. His eldest son, J. Flanagan, kept hotel and store in the village for many years and was treasurer of Biddulph for over two decades. Flanagan’s Corners eventually be­ came kno-wn as Ireland (or Irish- town) and is said to have been call­ ed this on account of many families of Irish parentage having settled in the -community. Eighty years ago, the population was estimated at about 3 00. An old business direct­ ory, of that time, lists the following names-: Francis Galbraith, Joseph Lyh-ch, -G. G. Hamilton, R. A. -Shell, Richard Galbraith, Daniel fihoff, Patrick Flanagan, J.P., Robert Glen- denning,, -O. Lloyd, -Samuel Herbert, Henry O’Neil, Bartholomew Lavin, Richard, O’Neil, James Thomas Hamel, William Jeffry Harbourne, Hugh Robert Porte, S. Bradley, Flanary, James Nugent, J. McFadden, James Butler and Fran­ cis Jones. George Carter was clerk of the division court and James Bar­ ber J.P. When the Grand Tr-unk Railroad was completed, a number of business men left the village and located at places along it. This -proved a ser­ ious setback and even the building of the L.H. & B. Railway failed to help matters for a time, as -others moved to larger centres, which it al­ so passed through. Becomes Clandeboye Finally, the village name was changed to -Clandeboye as it was be­ lieved this would cause less confus­ ion. It gradually succeeded in mak­ ing a comeback, owing largely to the prosperous and progressive com­ munity which surrounded it add to the railroad, which eventually open­ ed the way to larger markets.
