Facing elimination from the play

pear even stronger‘than ever and dis
trict fans should see this great club

doing it again. At any rate the fans
should get their money’s worth,
Tuesday night the Ripley Redmen
pay a return visit to their Tribal bro
thers and this should be an evenly-
fought affray. The Bruce club has
several new faces, notably Bob.
Thompson, of Lucknow, whom local
fans wish had donned a Wingham

MRS. JAMES McGEE
HAS 88th BIRTHDAY
Elderly Lady Enjoys Reading and
Knitting
One of the pioneer women of the
district, Mrs, James McGee, 10th
Con. East Wawanosh, on Wednesday
this week, January 15th, had her 88th
birthday, She has fairly good health
and enjoys reading and knitting, and
makes frequent trips to the barn and
still takes a keen interest in the do
ings of the community and in world
affairs,
Her maiden name was Janet Stew
art and she is of Scottish descent but
was Canadian born, having first seen
the light of day on Jan, 15th, 1848,
in the County of Lanark, a short dis-,
tance from the town of Lanark. She
spent her girlhood and school days
there. On June 19th, 1868, she was
married to James McGee and they
came and settled on the banks of the
Maitland on the 10th Concession of
East Wawanosh where she has since
resided.
They travelled -from Lanark to
Clinton by train and were met there
by the late Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Rin
toul, who drove them over the cor
duroy roads to their new home which
had previously been partially cleared
by her husband. Mrs. McGee often
speaks of this trip in the lumber wag
on from Clinton to her new home and
tells of Baby Hanna (the late Mrs.
John Shiell) who accompanied Mr.
and Mrs. Rintoul on that trip. The
Rintoul farm is now owned by Jim
Dow. The McGee farm is owned by
her youngest son, Leask, her husband
having’passed away March 30th, 1925.
Lizzie, her sister, married her hus
band’s brother, John, and they came
and settled on the next farm the De
cember following. Mrs. McGee tells
of how in those early days these two
young, couple would walk to Bethel
and also to the school house at For
dyce to attend church. Later, White
church Presbyterian Church was built
and they walked on Sundays to wor
ship there until Calvin Presbyterian
Church was built on the 10th Conces
sion of East Wawanosh. She was
one of the original Sunday School tea
chers of Calvin Church and for over
30 years continued in this Capacity.
Since union-she has been a member
of Brick United Church and-in cele
bration of her .birthday the W. M. S,
of that church held its meeting at her
son's home that she might enjoy'it,
as she has always taken a great in
terest in Missionary work.
To this happy union was born three
sons and two daughters, Henry, who
lives on the River sideroad, East Wa
wanosh; Robert of Blyth, and Leask
on the homestead. Her two daugh
ters .predeceased'her, Mrs; (Adelaine)
John Bcecroft in Nov. 27th, 1928, and
Mrs. (Lizzie. May) George M. Rob
ertson on April 16th, 1930,
We, together with her many friends
wish Mrs. McGee many more years
of good health and happiness,
