PARAMOUNT NEWSREEL Family Honors Nonagenarian It was a happy occasion when some 20 of the nephews and nieces of Mr. Joshua Johns as­ sembled for a dinner party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Perkins to celebrate his ninetieth birthday. Born on February 25 ,1863, on lot 12 concession 7, of Us- borne Township, Mr. Johns con­ tinued to be a resident of Us- borne until 1937 when he moved to Exeter, where he now resides with his daughter, Alma, who was also present at the party. Few men have enjoyed so long and so extensively the friendship and high esteem of the commun­ ity. As Sunday School superinten­ dent, class leader and acceptable local preacher he was a the United Church at for two generations. As councilor, interesting unique story teller and acceptable chairman of public meetings, he has played a useful part in com­ munity projects and made hosts of friends, who rememebered him on this birthday occasion with cards and gifts. The dinner was followed by informal recounting of memories of “Uncle Josh” by various nephews. They proposed a toast to him and presented him with a reading glass. Dr. Fred Johns, of Hamilton, read the address, in the form of an original poem which he had written. “Uncle Josh” was in fine form as he recounted, at some length, memories of early days, and stories of many former residents of Elimville who have achieved distinction in wider fields of business and education. Spring­ like weather made the occasion the more enjoyable and it was with reluctance that the guests separated in late their homes, some Another 20 odd nieces who live in ada could be present only in spirit. Yearly they celebrate a similar party for “Uncle Josh’s” only surviving sister, Mrs. Henry Cudmore (Harriet Johns) who now 92 years old.
