Recall Wedding
On Wednesday, February 11,
1914, Miss Clara Pearl Parker,
oldest daughter of Charles W.
Parker and Catherine Johnston,
Hayfield, became the bride of
Ernest Atkinson Featherston,
older son of John Featherston
and Isabel Hampton, Strabane.
The ceremony 'took place in
Trinity Anglican Church about
4:30 o'clock at which the Rev.
H. J. Candell officiated.
The bride wore a dove gray
suit with black hat and acces-
sories.
Her sister, _Miss Margaret
Parker (Mrs. R. 'J. Larson)
was bridesmaid, and cousin, Ar-
lington Atwood was grooms-
man.
They were the 50th couple to
sign the second marriage regis-
ter.
After the ceremony, the old
public school bell rang out mer-
rily on the clear crisp atmos-
phere. (They never did find out
who rang it.)
The wedding party returned
by 'horse and cutter to the home
of the bride's parents on Hay-
field 'Concession Road, north,
where members of the family
greeted them and joined in a
sumptuous wedding dinner.
The following Monday the
young couple left to spend 'a
few • days with his parents in
Hamilton before leaving for the
groOm's homestead near Spald-
ing, Saskatchewan,
Asked how they had met, Mr.
Featherston explained that he
had learned 'the printing busi-
ness in Hamilton and then de-
cided to go west. He' went to
Manitoba in 1908 and then on
to a homestead near Spalding
in 1909.
Miss Clara P. Parker was vis-
iting her brother, Christopher
and uncles, Thomas and Wil-
liam Parker in the district, and
so they met.
They resided on the farm un-
til 1926 when they moved East
and located here. Mr. Feather-
ston operated a grocery and
feed store on Louisa Street un-
til 1940.
In that year he went to Lon-
don to join the staff of the Tal-
bot Printing Company from
which he, retired in 1957.
During this time they retain-
ed their home here.

'Rambling With Lucy
(Lucy R. Woods)
Signs of Spring? On Tuesday., of last week there was a
moving—often depicted to be a sign!
But this time it was the house itself, a yellow painted
cottage, sailing down Main Street.
Quite excitedly, Mrs. George Hopson telephoned Lucy:
"I don't. know where it has come from nor where it is going.
You can find ,out from that point."
• It didn't take long for the news to travel, that the cottage
belonged to Mr. end Mrs. Walter Westlake.
Later, Lucy ascertained it had been moved by Ken Mern-
er from the Ontario Hospital grounds to Mrs. Westlake's lot
on the corner of Catherine and Chiniquy Streets.
Ken Merner had tendered for two summer cottages on
lakefront land purchased for the Ontario Hospital. The West-
lakes bought this one from him.
It has been, moved into position beside the small cottage
on the lot where they will have the two made into one
permanent residence.
Lucy asked Mrs. J. E. Howard, a student of nature, what
signs of spring she saw.
Her record of sighting the first crow went back to
January 18. Now they are appearing in threes and fours.
The big broad shouldered hawks are in evidence., The
cardinals are singing lusty , love songs. Woodpeckers 'are
Whirring a scratchy spring song. • Chickadees have changed
from their cheery "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" to a clear liquid
"phoebee" whistle. Seagulls are much in evidence so there
must be considerable open .water.
The ponies, with flowing manes and tails, are racing
around the pasture. Their speed and fluid grace' could well
rival the famous steed Pegasus.
Where the ponies have nibbled the bark of the maple
trees, patches of sap appear.
• A rosy glow all around the 'horizon, It appears only as
Spring approaches and is seen only after sunset. (Lucy re-
calls , seeing it shining on 'the ice-coated maple trees one
spring, so 'beautifully 'that the large buds appeared as if they
were peach blossoms ready to open.)
The willows are unusually golden and the apple orchards
have a rosy glow.
Pussy willows are beginning to expand and the alternate
leafed dogwood's ruby-toned branches have an unusual glow.
The woods are, 'full of 'coop tracks.
The sleepy house flies are' beginning to buzz on the sun-
warmed window panes upstairs. Daffodils, snowdrops, etc.,
are growing above the earth, though still covered by a
snow blanket.
"Nature knows that spring is at hand! One can smell
spring in the air even if the ground hog did see his shadow"'
concluded Mrs. Howard
Lucy ;thinks that this week one might get his or her
"sniffer" nipped a bit if weather forecasts 'be true.
According to folk-lore the groundhog will remain curled
up for over two Weeks before he comes out aagin! Despite
this, Lucy spied a mosquito between the storm and window
panes in her bedroom last week. It was crawling about
seeking an entrance to the house—maybe e shelter from
the current flow of Arctic air!
And on the Subject of Spring, Lucy's husband came up
with the following jingle:
Some say that winter's the time!
Others that summer's the thing!
But when you Sit on a tack with its business end up,
It's the sign of an early spring!
