Community , Pasture,
Charlie was the post-
master at Meanook and a
clerk in the hardware"
store in Athabasca!before
moving to Edmonton.
AfterA,,hig , 'Wife passed
away he' came •to Ripley..
to visit with his sister
Mae _and .to Willow.clale
with Edna, and Ken. A
year agediast spring along
with his son Arthur, Ken
and ,Edna, Shirley and
• Reg McGrath, and
Charlie, all had a picnic
with Mae at the Gran-
-
dview. Lodge, Dunnville..
This writer, Ab Wylds,
remembers talking, with
Charlie on two' of his
visits back to Ripley., He'
remembered a great
amount of the early=
history 'of 'this village.
Two things in particular
come to mind namely
how the street came to be
named Malcolm. Street
and the fact that as a boy,
Charlie . had he 1ped-
Robert Falconer (or
Faulkner) plant -the
MacIntosh apple ,tree out
on the street in front of
the present hoine of Joe
and. Mary Fludder. In
fact• Charlie said that
there were two trees. It
was planted on the
roadside so that all the
boys and girls could have
the apples' to eat.
Through the 1930's and
on, the tree got some
rough shaking from the
boys and folks threatened
to cut it down. The 'late
Walter Needham, clerk of
the village, and. Fran
Wylds combined to name
it the Tree of Contention.
Charlie was glad to know
that it was still standing
and producing apples.
Our thanks to Mae for
her letter and sympathy
to the family.
