The following characteristic letter, signed by Mr. John Ransford and a Couple of dozen other .old. Clinton friends, was sent the otherday to Mr. Robert Holmes, who. is .at pre- sent, accompanied ' 'by Mrs,. Holmes, visiting their son 'and daughter in Edmonton and who ori Monday cele- brated the fiftieth, anniversary of their marriage: • °To Robert Holmes, Esq. Sir; A few of your old friends, whose names appear below, desire to extend their heartiest congratulations to you on the fiftieth anniversary of your wed- ding. It is not accorded to everyltody to possess the necessary vitality to emerge from such an ordeal in the full health that you possess, for you have not only' had to contend with the numerous trials of a long mar- ried career' but your life otherwise has been eventful, for no man can pass through the racking ordeal of municipal elections in Clinton, to say nothing of parliamentary elections in West Huron,without showing the sears of battle. Some o9 us at any rate are glad to say that, owing to an enlightened government being in power„ we shall avail ourselves of our newly -found' privilege, and drink your health, and also that of your esteemed life partner, in something more befitting than pump water. That continued health and happiness may long be accorded you both is the sincere wish of your old friends." DEATH OF -MISS WHITELY. Elizabeth Whitely,'daughter of the late William am' 'telke Winn of Tuc rsmith Whitely but a resident. o£ Clinton for about thirty years,, died at her home, Town- send street, on Tuesday of last week after a tedious illness, in her eighty- -third year. The ' late Miss Whitely was stricken with paralysis /our years and a half ago and, although. she retained her mental faculties to ' the end,'' since then -she has been an invalid, being confined to her bed mot of, the time and unable to move without assistance. Two other strokes came to her, the last one shortly be- foreher death. Although so greatly afflicted, Miss Whitely maintained the most wonder- i ful cheerfulness : throughout all her illness. Her mind was clear and her speech unimpaired and She loved to have her friends visit her, and she conversed with thein very cheerfully and :happily. She was a woman of great kindness of disposition; one who never harbored an unkind thought and to whom the doing of kindnesses came as naturally as breathing: Dur- ing all her illness she was faithfully eared for by her sister, Miss Fannie, assisted at times by other sisters, Mrs.. Charlesworth of California, Mrs: Lawrence of Ottawa and Mrs. James Holland of Hullett. Mrs. Charles- worth returned to California only a few weeks ago after spending the winter here, and Mrs. Lawrence was too -ill herself to a ttend•the funeral. Miss Whitely was a member of Wes- ley-Wiillis United church, having been a member of Wesley church for many years. She was regular in her attend- ance ttendance as long as she was able to;go to church, and for some; time past she has been enjoying weekly sermons on the radio. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon to : Turner's eennetery, where other' members of 'the `family lie buried. The services were con- ducted by the Rev. J. E. Hogg, assist- ed by the Rev. A. A. Holmes and the pallbearers were: Messrs J. E. Hovey, A. T. Cooper, C. J. Wallis; M. MCDerr mid, II. Charlesworth and Noble Hol- land Ma's. Noble Whitely, a sister-in-law, with her brother, Mr. T Walker, and Mr. Albert 'Redmond of Marlette, e Mich., motored over for the funeral, and Mrs,;'McDernid and her sons came up from Seaforth.-,Many old neighbors and friends from the Tur- ner neighborhood also attended as well as friends in. town. e • 1ST, IN HONOL Of I]ANAE1rV DIAMONO JLDiLEE CLINTO;N CELEBRATED SIXTY YEARS AGO. Tomorrow we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of •Confederation, when young and, old will make; merry in their endeavor, to. show their apprec- iation of thetaehievementsof 1.1:e past and their faith in, the future of Can- ada. 1 In conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fitzsimons the other: day The News -Record representative learned how Clinton celebrated the first Doniniot Day. Mr. Fitzsimons, who was a youth, said the town was gaily; decoratedand a big community pic- nic was held on the river flats, the whole town nearly turning out. A large platform. was erected for speak- ers but he didn't remember who the speakers were:. "I wasn't 'muchin- 'Wrested in the speaking," he said "There were other forms o£ sport which amused me more . There was ;lancing, too; for those who wished to indulge and, of opurse, plenty of good things to eat. "You. could get a com- munity together then," remarked Mr. Fitzsimons, "as they didn't have cars to take the people away." Clinton was quite a thriving vil- lage, this was eight years before it was incorporated, and among- its.. business men were: Messrs.' Callen- der. and Scott, A. S. Fisher, Irwin and 1 Hodgens, Racey, : etc. The Rances ran the saw mill. A newspaper had. been established about four years previously,•• the venture not proving successful, but two years previously The New Era was established and continued until it 'was taken ovcr by The News -Record in 1924.
