CELEBRATED BER 85th BIRTHDAY Mrs. Jane Snell, of Huron Street, celebrated her 85th birthday on Wed- nesday of last week in the midst of her " immediate family circle and friends. "Aunt Jane Snell" as she is familiarly known by alarge circle of friends, was born in Exeter, Eng- land, in 1840 and carie to this count- ry when 2% years old, the voyage taking six weeks. • Her parents settled in what was known as the Devonshire settlement 1% miles ,vest of Exeter, in what is now the Township of Stephen, and lived there all their lives. .There were' then but four houses in Exeter and a tavern and a store at Devon, 2 1-2 miles south on what is, now the London. road. Mrs. Snell recalls quite vividly her first visit' to' Lon- don, -Ont., which 'was made on a wa- gonload of grain, and London in those days looked like Centralia is.; to -day. A clergyman,- Rev, Mr. Kingdom, 1 used to ride out on horseback from London and hold Church of England services monthly in 'the settlement. There were no luxuries in those days turnips were hollowed oat for house- hold ' utensils, such as bowls. and large chips of basswood were used for plates and torches served for lanterns, but in spite of all discom- forts people were quite happy. On October 24, 1863, Mrs. Snell was married to, Richard Sanders by Rev. J. R. Hincks, afterwards canon of the diocese of Huron. Mr. San- ders died in 1881, leaving 5 children', and in 1888 she • was married to Thomas Snell who died in 1909. _ In spite of her 85 years, Mrs. Snell en- joys excellent health and can do tat- ting at- tin � and an kind of fanc work. g y y without the aid • of glasses; in fact her work is' famous in this commun ity • She declares the recipe for long life is, first, contentment, coup- led with plenty of hard work and good, substantial plain fare, with. plenty of strong tea thrown in. Mrs. Suell has been a lifelong member of the Church of England and is the second oldest member• of the Trivitt Memorial Church here. She is also a staunch Conservative, taking a constant and keen interest in the poi Wes of the day. Mr. Chas. Sweitzer has sold his residence on William St. to Mrs. Al- ex Turnbull of Usborne, and has de- cided to engage in farming, having purchased Mrs. P. Fisher's farm, lot 5, Concession 8, Stanley for a suis - in the neighborhood of $7,000. Mr. Switzer has got at a good farm in a splendid community and distnlet and will doubtless make 'a fine 'success of it.
