Twenty years after his purchase of Lot 13, and
after perhaps 18 years of residence thereon,
Lucius Carey felt the need of a right of way to the
west through Lot 12. He acquired one, two rods
wide, from William Hussey, his neighbor, for
$150. The transaction was consummated in the
law office of Sinclair & Walker, over Detlor's
store at the northwest corner of North street and
the Square. Peter Frank Walker, attorney at
law, made affidavit as to the signatures of
Hussey and Carey, and swore it before John
Davison.
Whether Mr. Walker drew upon his own
vocabulary or dipped into some statute book of
Upper Canada, (mention of the wain, an English
hay wagon, encourages latter theory) the
product merits rescue from a Registry Office
cabinet and exposure to critical inspection after
109 years.

William Hussey, yeoman, Colborne, and Lucius

every kind and description, laden or unladen,
and of cattle and other beasts."
"The right of way is marked out by the said
grantor to a breadth of two rods or thereabouts

along the western limit of same to its junction

Mrs. Oswald Carey did
-not long enjoy life in the
Crescent house; she died
`low 7, ..1907; and it is-
unfortunate that the

probably contained her
obituary is missing, with
others, from the file of

Father Dentinger
thanked the league for
the generous donations
for church repairs. He
remarked on the bells
ringing again and hoped
they were heard and
enjoyed.
Pertaining to having
Mass at Pinecrest,
Father explained it was
not' feasible, but com-
munion services were
held for the" patients. All
living and deceased of the
community share in
masses offered at church.
Everyone is encouraged,
to attend daily mass
whene'ier possible.
Official church prayers
recited daily by the
priests always remember
all members of the
community.
In his message, Father
said "no one perfectly
loves God who does not
perfectly love some of His
creatures."
Of course it is im-
possible to love perfectly
everyone, but there must
be concern for all
members of God's
family.
Speaking of_ the rosary,
Father Wets assured
recitation of the rosary
before all Sunday Masses
brings many blessings to
the parish and com-
munity. Hundreds of
people participate,
particularly in the
summer months are most
impressed throughout the
world, recitation of the
rosary is coming back
strongly. Some countries
have what is called
"Worry beads - another
form of prayer."

C.N.I,B. returns in, she
