MANY NAMES ARE RECALLED BY NATIVE Bruce Mines, Ont. Mr. Earl Anderson, R.R. 4 Brussels, Ont. • Dear Mr. Anderson: I was very much pleased to re- ceive your invitation to attend "Morris Old Boys' Reunion" to he held on August 4, 5 and • 6. I was born on a farm about 1% miles froni the Village of Belgra,ve, on May 9, 1873: My parents• had been living on a rented farm, I think it was owned by a man named Brandon but I am not certain as to the name of the owner. I haVe only a faint recollection of the situation of the farm on which I was born although I did make a short visit there in the summer of 1892. I recall a number of names of neighbors about whom I had heard my mother mention. Some of them come to my mind, Proctors, Wilkin- Armstrongs, Bryans, Nichol- sons, Wrays, Hoppers, and a family named Acirris who lived at a vil- lage named Sunshine. No doubt there were others. I also recall that I often heard my mother mention the Andersons. On the list of officers i note one named H. C. Johnston. I had an aunt named ' Martha Grigg who married a man named David John- ston, but of course I .de not know if H, C. is any Of that family. am not certain'. if I can ,manage to attend• the .reunion but IOertainly would like to visit the place of my birth once more and meet as many as possible of the old •settlers, and others who have since my day there made their homes in and around Morris Township, - • Kindest regards and best wishes for the success of the undertaking.
