Mrs. Gledhill was born in Goderich on September 8, 1893 to William and Mary Ann (McNevin) Nivins. Her father had been a shoe maker in Dungannon prior to moving to Goderich where he continued to work as a cobbler and clerk in various shoe stores. Mrs. Gledhill attended Goderich public school and was raised in town with seven sisters and one brother. She is the last surviving member of her family. In 1935 she married Verne Gledhill who owned and operated the Benmiller Woolen Mill with his brother Clyde until Clyde's death in 1966. The mill was started by Verne and Clyde's great- grandfather. "It produced the best blankets you could buy," recalls Mrs. Gledhill. In 1970 the mill was sold to the late Peter J. Ivey who converted it to the Benmiller Inn. In 197?, the Gledhills also sold their home near the Inn to Mr. Ivey who added on to it, making even more rooms available for travellers' accommodation. "Mr. Ivey was a lovely man and we were glad he came along. We had to sell Other than feeling and we were very pleased homesick when she first with what he did to the mill moved from Benmiller into and our home," says Mrs. Goderich, Mrs. Gledhill says Gledhill. "If we had left she has lived a very good life things unchanged there the and reflecting back, she way some people wanted, claims, "I've been well eventually they rfhe mill and satisfied with everything!" Mr. and Mrs. Gledhill' moved to an apartment in Goderich after selling their home in Benmiller and Mr. Gledhill died in 1979. He was the last surviving member of his family although Mrs. Gledhill notes that there are people by the same name living in Toronto and the United States. Mrs. Gledhill says she is not sure what she owes her longevity to but she is determined not to have any more birthdays. "I don't want to be 100," she states adamantly. "Ninety is old enough." Throughout her life, Mrs. Gledhill kept active as a housewife and also worked for a period of 16 years at Smith's bake shop once located on East Street. She is a member of Knox Presbyterian Church; en- joys good health in general; and says she has lots of good neighbours, relatives and friends. She' received many cards for her birthday as well as scrolls from Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier William Davis and messages from Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff and Huron -Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell.
