What are your
fondest memories
of Easter.?
Beatrice Woods
Exeter
"The nicest Easter I had
was when I was babysitting
for Elsie Waghorn. She took
me over to visit her rela-
tives. We went in the buggy
from the 12th line of Fuller-
ton all the way to the base-
line of Blanshard. I also re-
member my father had
warned me not to tell any-
one that we had chickens in
the incubator but I let it slip
and got into trouble".
Elizabeth Schroeder
Exeter
"I can remember one East-
er, we were a Targe family
and very poor. So it meant
that we girls did not get new
dresses. I can also remem-
ber that by accident I tore
the one fairly decent dress I
had. That was a real calami-
ty, because everyone wore
new clothes. However, my
mother mended it quite nice-
ly and it was hardly notice-
able. I will never forget that
day because a new dress
for Easter was imperative
and here I had an old dress
and mended at that."
Mary Connelly
Exeter
"When the children were
small, we'd always have an
egg hunt because we would
pretend the Easter Bunny
had come to our house.
Our family always had a
large meal together
- never missed".
Cora Miner
Exeter
"I remember my parents
used to run a hatchery and
we always had to have the
eggs set in the incubators
so they would be ready for
Easter."
Charlie Merrytield
Exeter
"My dad was a traveller/
organizer at that time. Every
time he came home at East-
er we always looked forward
to meeting him at the sta-
tion, expecting something
from the Bunny".
Estrella FiNcbeiner
Exeter
"I remember we always col-
oured eggs out of onion
peelings which made the
eggs turn many different col-
ours. We also used to make
pretzels every Easter be-
cause the pretzels repre-
sented the cross."
