JOHN CAMPBELL STARTS 92nd YEAR Grand Old Lady Had 91st Birthday Monday On Monday, Mrs. John Campbell had many callers and received many gifts and congratulations, the occas- sion -being her 91st birthday, A year ago, when Mrs. Campbell celebrated her birthday, we visited her and found her bright and cheerful for her years and this past year has been kind to her as we noticed little change in this grand' old lady when we called to con­ gratulate her on her 91st birthday. It may be that her memory is not quite so keen as a year ago, but she can still reminise about old ’times when she came to Culross. That was in 1862. Mrs. Campbell says that things are surely different to-day with good roads crowded with motor cars. When she went to Culjjoss she had to ride horse back along the 10th concession over a cordoury road. The Township was virgin bush in those days and she feels that she and her husband did their share in pion­ eering when they cleared the farm on the 1st of Culross where her son Wil­ liam now lives. The people who cleared our lands in this district were brave folks and Mrs. Campbell, one of these, says that when $he was married at the a’ge of 16, the bush was alive with wild life which at times became very bold and venturesome, Mrs. Campbell is of Irish stock. She was born on the Emerald Isle in the County of Fermanah and with her parents at the age of 13 they set out for the land of promise. The old sail­ ing vessels took nearly 9o weeks to cross the ocean. They landed in New York and a couple of years later she came to this district for a visit. While on this visit she met and married John Campbell. He died in 1911. They toiled together on the Culross and Turnberry boundary which was her home until she moved into Lower Wingham 8 years ago to live with her daughter, Mrs. George Haw­ thorne. The work on the farm in those days was strenuous but Mrs. Campbell feels that it was good for her. Honest work she says is good for a person. She deplores the fact that so many farms are now vacant, farms that the old timers cleared by great effort. Mrs. Campbell has that fine Irish characteristic, a great sense of hum­ our. She reads with the aid of a glass and keeps right up-to-date with cur­ rent events, She sleeps and eats well and enjoys having a chat about the days when the bears and other wild animals were plentiful in the district. Monday her birthday was a miser­ able sort of day and many of her older friends could not get to sec her which was a keen disappointment, but she was very happy that as many did call to wish her well. # She has three chidren still living, Andrew, of Turriberry; William, of Culross, and Margaret (Mrs. George Hawthorne, of Lower Wingham). She has. one brother, William Montgom­ ery, of Emmerson, Man., who visited her last sumtper and her sister, Mary, who lives in Town also. Elected D.D.G.M. Mr. J. Howard Wylie, of Wroxeter, was elected District Deputy Grand Master of Huron District No. 5 at the meeting of Grand Lodge in Ot­ tawa last week. Those attending from Wingham lodge were Wor. Bros. T.

Faulkner, Minister of Health, who visited here on Tues­ day was like the proverbial clam when approached regarding whether or not there would be a provincial el­ ection this Fall.

Minister had nothing to say on the matter. Child Fell From Car Sight of a three-year-old child roll­ ing over and over on the road in the path -of approaching cars brought shrieks from both pedestrians and au­ tomobile brakes on the square at God­ erich Saturday afternoon.
