Trinity WA The regular meeting of the Wo- man's Auxiliary of Trinity Angli- can Church was held at the home of Mrs. N. W. Woods on Thursday afternoon of •last week, The rector, Rev. E. Carew -Jones, opened with the Litany, followed by the mem- bers' prayer M unison. The preee dent, Mrs. R. 11. F. Gairdner, was in the chair. Mrs. George King read the 'scripture passage in her usual clear voice. In the absence of the secretary, Mrs. E. Heard read the minulesof the last meet- ing which were approved, - Miss Lucy Woods gave the finan- cial report and it was Voted to send half the general maintenance pledge to the Diocesan treasurer, A letter was read from the presi- dent of the Deanery of Huron, urg- three • sons and four daughters of the late John .Gemeinhardt and Eva Hagar, pioneer settlers from Hoss, in the German Rhineland. She wasborn on May 23, 1864, in a house long since disappeared from Sarnia road, which her father Purchased when he emigrated to Bayfield and to which he later brought his bride, At that time the main business section of Bay- field was located at- that end of the village. After a few years the family lived for a short' time over a store which was situated on Clan Gregor Square, between what is now the Cities Service Station and John Sturgeon's residence. John Gem- einhardt renovated a building he had purchased on Louisa Street, where he manufactured furniture and established the first undertak- ing business in Bayfield. This was situated where Robert Turner's' residence now stands, and the fam- ily lived above the shop, Being possessed of a very keen memory, Mrs. Stinson remembers many incidents of those days. She remembers that her father planed, tongued and grooved lumber by hand for houses which he built in this district. She attended Hayfield Public School. One of her teachers was'Master Plunkett, under whom the pupils payed particular atten- tion tether work. They didn't dare look up from their slates, lest they receive a crack from a cane or a cut from a pointer, for the master was very easily displeased and gave vent to his ire. On February 25, 1887, Elizabeth Gemeinhardt became the bride of William James Stinson. They were married in Clinton by•Rev. Canon Craig; D.D., and took up residence cn the groom's farm, Sauble Line (east part now owned by William R. Talbot, and.' west part is the Huron Church Camp). Here their five children, Myrtle (Mrs. George Reid, Flaxcombe, Sask.); Harold, Bayfield; Mabel (Mrs. David Pren- tiss, who cared for her mother for some years before passing away in' July, .1951); Eva Margaret (Mrs, A. F. Furter, London); Alice (Mrs. John Sturapf, Long Island, N.Y.), were born and raised. In 1918 they moved into the large house on Clan Gregor Square. Mr. Stinson died in March, 1934. Mrs. Stinson is a member of Trin- ity Anglican Church, which she at- tended regularly as long as she was able. Although she suffered with arthritis in her hip, she man- aged to walk about the house until about five years ago when she was forced to use a wheel chair. Al- though her main interest was her home, to which she was devoted, she kept a diary of events in the village for many years, which has become valuable to historians as a reference book, Mrs. Stinson has been a patient in Clinton Public Hospital since July, 1951, and although confined to bed, she is cheerful and delight- ed to have callers. Her son, H. A. Stinson, visits her frequently and so she still keeps in touch with events in her native village. She has two grandchildren, Mrs. 3. H. Baker, Eatonia, Sask., and William Reid, Aitakokon, Ont.; two great-grandchildren, Doug and Ken Baker, Eatonia. Sunday, May 23, 1954, was a very happy day for Mrs. ,Stinson. Miss A. 13. Sinclair and the nurses had planned a party for her 90th birthday. A card table done with linen and silver was set up in the room. Her daughter, Mrs, A. F. Furter and grandson, Bill Furter were present. Mrs. Furter was asked to pour tea. Miss Marquis was hostess and as the. cake bearing nine candles was carried into the room, Miss Elaine Rurnball, a visitor, sang "Happy Birthday To You," Mrs. Furter had also provided a birthday cake. Other patients in the room, Miss Laidlaw, Miss Judd and Mrs. Cook, were guests, and there was birth- day cake for callers and patients on Sunday and Victoria Day. Mrs. Stinson was the recipient of gifts, flowers and about 20 cards from relatives and friends, ing that all money from the bran- ches for the deanery pledge be paid before noon on the day of the deanery meeting in Seaforth on May 26, and the treasurer was in- structed to forward the amount to the secretary -treasurer, Mrs. E. Heard, Dorcas secretary, reported that the value of the bale sent to the Diocesan Headquarters ..for St. Paul's School, Blood Re- serve, Cardston, Alta., was $48.6,3. It was decided to hold several summer teas this year. Mrs, E, Heard gave a very compreheesive report of sessions of the Huron Diocesan annual board meeting of the Women's Auxiliary which she attended in London this spring. In closing, the rector said a prayer for members who were absent through illness. The hostess, Mre, R. H. Ir. Gairdner served tea. mnranensaniessaarmeze• , PAGE " Micteif6441114 eel.e .• • • '• ••• re—efee—I-Te, L In.
