I I , i The Times-Advocate is in receipt a of the following letter and would be , glad if someone could furnish Mr. . Moody with the information requir- ! ed. The Editor, The Times-Advocate : Exeter, Canada. Dear Sir; I would like to ask you for some information about my grandfather, James Logie, who lived in what was then called Francistown, and who moved to Illinois a great many years ago, /probably around the year 1860. I realise it is rathei’ a forlorn hope to expect any information now on events that happened so many years ago but I have thought that possibly you could tell me from the old files in your office or that you might know of some very old residents in Exeter to whom I might apply for information, j I have an old yellow newspaper clipping that tells of the marriage of James Logie of Usborne to Isabelle Gordon Ingram, of Hay. I believe ; James Logie had a store which stood on the southwest corner of the main street in what was then called Fran­ cistown and the other tersected that street, and west. There is a now on that corner. USBORNE COUNCIL October 7, 1939 The Municipal Council of Usborne • met in regular session with all the members present.
