Enemetic citizen gone
Wingham residents were shocked to learn of the sudden cfeath
of Ernest Eaton on the weekend. A former resident of Ottawa, Mr.
Eaton had worked in the federal civil service for many years before
his retirement to Wingham.
Always interested in public affairs, he followed the decisions of
town council carefully, and it was his intention to seek the office of
mayor in this fall's municipal election.
An avid historian, Ernie had spent much of his time unearthing
background information on local properties and such interesting ar-
tifacts as came to his attention. As curator of the local museum he
contributed much to the preservation and display of many items of
interest to the Wingham community.
As secretary of the Wingham Historical Society he had identified
and sought the preservation of buildings in the community which
were.of historical interest.

terest in the town and its historical background qualified Mr. Eaton
as a valued citizen of Wingham.

years when municipalities the
size of ours were making life better for their residents by laying
,, sewers, sidewalks and paved streets, it is unlikely that anyone
gave much thought to .the time when these solid improvements
would have to be replaced. The country was striding solidly into the
future and civilization had arrived:' ' ! ' ., ,. ,.• - "'-' f
