Simpson and Mrs. Flora -Simpson • is this week being dismantled by Robert Simpson and other members of the family. Since the building was very close to the highway it was thought ad- visable to disrntantle it rather than repair the old building.

Mr. yhitty was postmaster until 1.10 when Mr. Neil MacDonald was- appointed to the poson The postiti. office was then moved to MacDonald's hotel ' and Whitty's estate sold the building to Dr. Simpson for an office and residence. Here Dr. Simpson practised medicine un- til his death in 1941. • The family continued to use •the building until the death of their son Arthur in 1970.
