Exeter Horse Itaces next Wednes­ day, Jtine 22, with Old Time Dance at Arena at night. the late miss tom The passing away of Mary, A* Tom at an early hour on Monday morn­ ing June 13th brought to a close a life that was closely identified with affairs of the village of Exeter for pearly half a century. She was born May 20th, T8Q5 on a farm two and a half miles east of the village, the daughter of James B. and Mary A. Tom, both of whom were natives of Cornwall, England. She was one of seven children. The late John E., inspector of public schools in Huron Co.; James K., of New York; Mrs. Wm. Sweet living in Exeter; Nancy J„ deceased; Gregory H., at Van­ couver and Sen. Frank W. K. Tom, of Toledo, O, She loved life and people and her footprints will re­ main in the sands of Exeter while the present generation lives. Rarely the lives of sister and brother were more closely involved together than hers and mine and while she has gone a little earlier than some of us, she slipped away easily without pain and has missed the distress and tra­ gedies of extreme old age. To her memory I dedicate the fol­ lowing lines: We hear the calling bells of our first morn, Like an angel's song o’er eternity’s peaks Breaking our dawn; as out first bay is born We move in silence while nature speaks. The winds of night of all their vigor shorn, Drop down to sleep with palor on their Cheeks. And all along the glimmering slope •of years, The paths of youth shall rise then downward bend; While Times’ swift transit floods with joys and tears The universal steps we all des­ cend. Then let us not be wrapt in anxious fears, But fearlessly approach the farther end. Ambition’s arrow finds but sad dis­ may While service leads through Life’s celestial vale Let the lamp of love illuminate our opr day, That hatred’s petards strike to. small avail. If conscience charts’'the tenor of our way We welcome evening’s breezes to our sail. Leaving the mariner and the mists behind As we embark, on God’s eternal sea, It is not death, but stripping from the blind The veil of Time, revealing His Infinity, And Faith and Hope were both unto us kind Leading us on to Immortality, Frank W. K. Tom 2306 Putnam St. Toledo, O. PRESENTATION At the June meeting of the Cen- ralia W. A. the ladies presented one of their members, Mrs. Ed. Walker, who recently moved to Exeter, with a gift, showing thier regard and ap­ preciation of her help and co-opera­ tion during the years she spent in their organization.'
