By Ab Wylds What do you know about the three hotels which at one time existed in Ripley? Most folks know about two. They were the Com- mercial Hotel which is the present George McLean Store with its red brick outside and its outdoor seating bench . And then there was the Royal Hotel destroyed by fire on a Friday afternoon in mid-October 1974. The present new Ripley Royal Bank was built three years later on the site. Third name in this item of past hotels here is the name Putland. Now lifting the story up to the present time. Two weeks ago Mrs. Margaret (Smith) Funston, concession 6 west Pine River came to see Ab Wylds in Ripley. Later that same day on her return to see the hockey game in which her grandson was playing, she brought back a note which she had written as follows: Mrs. J.D. Bodnar (nee Matheson) of Kent Bridge, Ontario had contacted her inquiring about her grandparents Angus -Mathes‘i and Annie Putland. Annie Putland's parents, John H. and Maria Putland owned the old Royal Hotel 1901-1907. Angus Matheson was a brother of Murdock Matheson, Lot 11 Con. 8. Mrs. Creech, Pine River, Mrs. Donald (Soldier) MacLeod, R. 'v, Mrs. Murdock MacLennan (Neil's 'r 1•th The location of the third hotel is best iden- �d by the lots where these two homes stand today and owned by Carol Fludder and Earl Tout just south of the Ripley Firehall As a hotel we have heard it called the King Edward Hotel or it could be refer- red to as the Putland Hotel. Angus Matheson moved the main part over to its present location where it is the concrete block home for Carol, Tammy and Jason. Last Thursday, February 2, 1989, it was a dull overcast day here, hence no shadow and no layer of snow on the ground. At noon things took on a bright outlook when a rotary machine from Davidson's in Wingham came to the farm home of Russell Scott on the fourth Concession east in Huron Township. By evening they had drilled down halfway of the much needed water well at the place. During the night the snowfall oc- curred but they had the water by the next afternoon February 3. Did you ever carry pails of water in the winter? Well we did, years ago so we understood the relief in hav- ing a handy supply, which will follow. Carol Fludder visited with her grandmother Evelyn Johnson at her new apartment in Port Elgin. Evelyn moved from Ripley on the last weekend in January. Jan Fludder relates that the Tops Open House Monday, January 30, went very well. There was just a nice crowd to enjoy the pro- gram of music, readings, a skit and a presentation on what Tops is all about. I hope this evening answered a few questions. One thing we all agree about at Tops is that R IPLEY if you are a loser you are definitely a winner. The Happy Hearts Club held their euchre party in the Legion Hall Ripley. on January 30 with nine tables playing. The prize win- ners were: ladies Donelda Pollard and Eileen Carter. The men were: Earl Tout and William Lowry. The next euchre is to be held on February 6 at 2 p.m. in the Legion Hall as usual. Ripley and District Liops Club Skating Carnival will be held Friday, February 10 at 7 p.m. at the Ripley -Huron Complex. Ripley Women's Institute meet Ripley Women's Institute met at the home of Noreen and Jean MacDonald for their February meeting. The President, Mrs. Lock opened the meeting by welcoming the members and visitors. After singing 0 Canada and the W.I. ode, the Mary Stewart collect was repeated in unison. The minutes read and approved. The roll call name a country that is af- filiated with the Associated Country Women of the World (A.C.W.W.) a number of places were named. A letter from the F.W.I.C. President was read, telling of new projects and etc. Mrs. Lock gave an outline of the work the Hospital Auxiliary has done in the past year. A short discussion on the 85th anniversary of Ripley W.I. with April 8 decided on as the date for a come as you are party in legion hall. It was decided to have our annual Hospital Tea on June 14. Sadie McLeod had the program. She read a paper on Ceylon now known as Sri Lanka. A few years back we had a great number of sister organizations here but because of the turmoil in that country there is only one re- maining. Through the U.N. we have con- tributed in some small way to projects such as water for all, health and nutrition im- provements and others. Some of these were carried out in Sri Lanka. Mrs. Elizabeth Fair had a ,few pictures to show of Sri Lanka she received from a relative who had visited there. Sadie finished with a humorous reading on some of the descriptions received by in- surance agents when investigating an acci- dent. Mary Brooks gave the courtesies and Annie Scott and Zilla Hedley served a tasty lunch. The meeting closed by singing the Queen.
