OBITUARY
MRS, WILLIAM TIPLADY
A life long resident of Clinton and
vicinity;- Har'iet Ship'ey,'eY�
widow of
the late William P. Tinlacly, passed
away quietly in Minton on Wed
Jan 17th, 1945 following a stroke
from which she never regained' con-
sciousness.
Harriet Shipley was the secoetcl
daughter of the late John Shipley
and Caroline Walker who formerly
owned the Andrews farm, adjacent
to Clinton. She was born March 23,
1863, in the house now
occupied by Ross Fitzsimons and in
1867moved with her family to the
present George •Shipley farm east
of Clinton. Following her marriage
on Dec. 30th,. 1885 she and her hus-
band farmed oft the Base Line • till
the turn of the centu y when they
moved into Clinton and took ' up
residence on 'Gibbings' Street where
her husband predeceased her on Mar:
23rd. 1941.
Mrs. Tipiady was a quiet, home.
loving woman, and possessed
an excellent memory for dates,
names and events in the local his-
tory and her passing is a distinct
loss to the community in this re-
gard. A devout Christian all her
life, she shunned official capacity
but laboured ardently in all church
activities, first in the old Bible
Christian Church and, after union,
in the Ontario .Street Methodist
' Church 'and, later, in Ontario Street
United Church. ..,
She is survived by one sister, Mrs,
George Turner of Clinton. Three bro-
thers, Thomas, William and George
and four sisters, Mrs. Thomas Gib-
bings, Mrs Thomas Smallacombe,
Jennie and Mattie predeceased her.
The-funeral'service was conducted
at her late residence by Rev. G. G.
•Burton of Ontario Street United
Church. Four nephews and two cou-
sins acted as pallbe vers. These were
George Shipley and John Turner of
Clinton, Harold • Turner of Goderich
William Smallacombe of Toronto and
William Shannon and Ivy Hender-
son of .Seaforth.
Interment was at Clinton ceme-
tery.

W. V. EDWARDS
William Vincent Edwards, one of
the oldest residents of Souris, Man„
died on Sunday, January 9th, in
his 90th year, after an illness of only
two days.
The late Mr. E'dwarc's• was born
at Latimer, near Kingston, Ont. As
a young ratan he cane west and
settled in the Souris district, then
known as Plum. Greek, in March
1882. He came £iron the east to be
carpenter and wheelwright to the
Sowden colonization syndicate. He
arrived on foot with' the first load of
lumber from Rrandon to find Plum
Creek, a hamlet of sod shacks and
one or two sod shanties; he put an
upper storey and roof on one, the
first house in Souris.
When "the flood of '82" a.rived
and settlers gathered on the east
bank of the Souris i iver, he and two
other men const ucted a ferry and
made the crossing of the river pos-
sible. This was. rather a hazardous
undertaking at times and they - bad
many narrow escapes from drown-
ing.
The late Mr. Edwards built the
Methodist parsonage, which was the
minister's hone on the ground floor
and the •church upstairs. Later a
church was .built on the -tor west of
it; this was also to a great extent
the work of Mr. Edwards as all the
timbers had to be planed and fitted
by him and then raised with the
help' of the men of the congregation.
Fos several years before Mr. Ed-
wards carte west, he and his brothers
and sisters were known through most
of Ontario as the Edwards concert
party. • When Mr. Edwards carne to
Souris he used his talents in church
work chiefly, and not only led the
Methodist choir for many years, but
met the pastor at outlying appoint-
ments to lead the singing, often
walking many miles to do this. ,
When the diptheria epidemic
struck in the early 80's, Mr. Edwards
not only made all the coffins, but
WAS undertaker, friend and consoler
in many .hones.
Over forty years ago Mr. Edwards
started to build up the first herd of
pure-bred Jersey cattle in the West
and for many years he and his sons
toured the western fair circuits and
swept all before thein. His prize
Jerseys • were the nucleus of many
fine herds from Ontario to Vancou-
ver Island.
He agitated for a creamery at.
Souris and was one of the founders
of the present creamery.
After his retirement in 1924, he
made gardening and horticulture
his hobby. He was a consistent ex-
hibitor for years at the Souris and
Glenwood agricultural fair, •
Always a faithful churchman, he
had been 'a member of the Roars of
Stewards for a great many years.
• In 1885 he was -married to Hannah'
Stiles of Seu is Who died in 1897.
Later he married Margaret (Maggie)
Gantelon, who survives. There are
one daughter and 'five soars, 'Mrs.
Evelyn Reynolds and Harold, of
Souris Dr. W. Vincent' Edwards,
Roland, Man.; Dr. , Chas. L; E'd
wards, Hamilton; George A., Ken -
ora; Dr, Herbert L., Pirtle, Mari.
Surviving also ar.•e twelve grand-
phiidren, A sister, Mrs• Iritic Green-
wood of Kingston, alone survives out'
of a family of nine.
The late Mr. Edwards was . a
brother-in-law of Adams, J. 'and'.
George Cantelon of town.. Mrs.
Edwards and he, had visited many
times here,

The weather over 'here has not
been very good, too much rain and
things get so muddy. To -clay has
been lovely, the 'ground has dried tip
and good for walking again.
The nights are much cooler. Our
sleeping accommodation isn't so
good. We are in tents and all we
have to keep us warm is an oil stove,
and when we go to bed it has to go
out, so by morning it gets a`bit' cool,
I keep the stove close to my bed and
light it before crawling out each
morning. Otherwise it is quite com-
fortable, electric lights, tables and
chairs, a little gas stove to heat and
waren water and stake lunch before
going to beth, so we haven't any
complaints.
I had better sign off now, as it is
bedtime. One more thing I wish to
say is that I hope the rest of the
boys had a good Christmas, and we
will be able to be home for next
Christmas: Good bye and good luck,

Dear Mrs, Prentice, and The Bay-
field Community—
Well here goes for a few lines to
thank you people fon the lovely
'Christmas Box" you sent. I receiv-
ed it the other day and everything
was just lovely. I also received 600
"cigs” from you people. On
account of being moved around so
much it has delayed illy mail, but it
usually catches up with me.
I hear you have quite .a lot of
snow and stormy weather. We are
getting a lot of rain and •quite used
to it now. It was a surprise when
they sent me here I don't mind it and
I'm ,getting along fine: It is nice to
know the boys in 'Germany are get-
ting their parcels. I wish you all a
Merry Christmas and a 'sappy New
Year. 'Thanking you again for your
kindness and good work.
Cheerio for now. Joe.
