One incident sticks out in her mind. She remembers when, as a young girl, she took the mail route with a horse and buggy. She laughs now as she thinks of the first time a car passed her buggy on the road. She wasn't ready for the reaction of the horse. It startled, upset the cart, and sent pieces of mail flying everywhere. .;:a..... L ed .-rt1 41" t1Pcr' became used to passing vehicles, whenever a car came along, 'she Would pull into the closest laneway to avoid a repeat performance. Friends and relatives helped Laura celebrate her 90th birthday on Thursday, October 2, at her home in Goderich. Laura was born in Milverton in 1896. She was one of five children of William and An- nie Thafner. When she was young, her fami- ly moved from Milverton where her father owned a hotel, to a farm in Walton. The family moved at the same time that the first train ran from Milverton to Walton and although all the furniture was transported by rail, she and her family travelled to their new home by buggy. Laura married James A. White of Ben - miller, now deceased. The couple moved to Goderich about 1920. They had five children: Anna Patterson, Embro; Ida White, Goderich; Gordon (deceased); Ger- tie Mutton,, Woodstock; Fred White, Goderich. There are 20 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. A homemaker most of her life, Laura's favourite pastimes included making quilts and hooking matts. She can no longer do these things, but has recently started knit- ting again and enjoys playing card games with her friends. Although Laura is deaf, she com- municates easily as her friends and family write their messages down. Her daughter Ida says they go through a terrific amount . of paper. Besides best wishes from many visitors during the day, Laura received certificates of congratulations from Premier David Petersen, presented by Jack Riddell, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Governor- General Jeanne Sauve and MP Murray Cardiff.
