Person of Charles DenaldSom,
884 Byron Aye., Ottawa 3, who
was 92 years young on March
27.
A man of remarkable phys-
ique and keen intellect, this
nonegenanian possesses a ready
wit and a great sense
of hum-
or. ' He has a. fund of sstoriesoff
early days and writes a letter
equally as well as he tells a
tale.
Of late years, Mr. Donald-
son has been coming with. his
son.dn-'law and daughter, Mr.
anld Mrs. Percy Lewis, with
whom he resides, to visit his
brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs.
James Donaldson, Goderich.
While here he calls on a few
old friends and likes to drive
up and down the lines and con
cessions in Goderich Township
to note 'the changing scene, es-
pecially on the Bronson Line
where he resided.
The harm owned by R. R.
Cornish belonged to his par-
ents, Mm. and Mrs. James Don-
aldson, Sr. He attended SS 4,
North Stanley and as a young
lad worked with his father on
the farm and threshing outfit.
Healso helped his uncle, W.
Perdue with his saw mill in
Goderich Township when work
was slack.
When he married he took ov-

Hardware Store
Burns In
North Dakota
BAYFTFiT,D—A recent letter
to Mr. and Mr's. E. A. Feather-
ston and relatives here from her
brother, Percy Parker, Nekoma,
N. Dakota, contained a clipping
from the Cavalier County Re-
public, describing the unsuccess-
ful efforts of firemen from
Langdon and Fairda'le to save
the Harry P. Johnson hardware
'building in • Nekoma.
The Osriabrock • fire :depart-
ment was later called in case
the flames spread. The itherrno-
meter registered 20..;deg 'ees. be

day, February 28. •
Two 'families in apartments
above the store lost personal
property, although some house-
hold goods were carried out.
Occupying the west apart-
ment was Mr. Parker's daugh-
ter and 'husband, Mr. and Mrs.
A. Skaug and three children.
The fire was first noticed
about 11 o'clock end is thought
to 'have started in the east ap-
artment. A god part of the
over $12,000 hardware stock
was carried out. •
It is interesting to note that
the store was built by Louis
Wild in 1905 and that he oper-
ated a successful hardware
business there until 1946 when
he sold to Harry P. Johnson.
A bachelor, Louis Wild made
his home with the Johnsons
until his death, November 25,
1948.
Louis Wild was a son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wild;
and a brother of Mrs. William
H. Johnston, Bayfield.
three months younger is John
Scotchmer, Sr,, Clinton.
Lasa October; the Algoma Ad-
vocaite interviewed him at the
Thessalon Fall. Fair when he
was vliSiting that pl'ace.. He
Was venerated as a pioneer
there. The ,following excerpts
are fromthat newspaper:
"Mr. Donaldson came to
Thessalon at the turn of the
>S brother-in-
law, With
h rothem-in-
law, George Stewart, they
bought a livery in which they
used 25-35 horses. He dropped
out four years later 'because he
couldn't stand Mistreatment of
the horses.
`letelephone services s
Donalkiaon was respon-
sible forph be-
ing installed in Thessalon. The
livery he operated had a direct
line to the CPR station as• four
trains arrived daily, Four teams
brought up 18 passengers'• in
each load, rain or shine, the
trains were met.
At tunes the 'phone line gave
trouble and Bell Telephone was
contacted., He was told that 20
subscrilbea' were needed before
a line could be built'. Soon the
line was extended east of Thes-
:salon.
Suddenly, the pioneer saw a
future in a new invention which
would threaten horses—a gas
driven tractor. For the next 23
years until he retired, he scald
for the major farm implement
firms in Canada. He sold some
of the first tractors for the
Case firm and sold one of the
first tractors to be sold by EVLais-
sey in the Province of Quebec
territory, Maritime Provices.,
"He sat on Thessaion Coun-
cil for a year. 'I just wanted
to see what they did, but next
year, I was nominated and did-
n't run. I'd had enough of it.'
"Mrs. Donaldson, the former
Miss Maggie Stewart, died in
1941.
"One of his greatest joys is
his, :granddaughter, Gail Donald-
son, daughter of Charlie Don-
aldson. She is a skater with the
Ice Capades and has appeared
6111. over North America and
Europe.
"Keith operates a drug store

In commenting to a friend; on
the Algoma Advocate's report
of him as having been a con-
stable in Thessafon, Mr. Donald-
son said: "I was hired by the
police • magistrate as special
constable and my duties were
outside the town. I had to at-
tend all court proceedings and
take all , prisoners, to the Soo
jail. I never handcuffed a •pris-
oner and I 'have taken four at
a time to jail, although I al-
ways carried handcuffs. I just
showed them the revolver I
carried .and told them not to
take any chance to get away
as they couldn't get far. And
none ever tried."
