Florence Nightingale Wished
Name on Hohnesville Woman
By Alta Lind Rodges
No doubt' it williurprise many to
learn that there is a namesake of
Florence Nightingale in (int -
living
ario today. Her friends know her
as Mrs. William Mulholland, and her
home is in Hohnesville, a little vil-
lage situated on, No. 8 highway be-
t ee
w n Clinton and Goderich.
"How come?" you are likely to
say, "'Florence' Nightingale died in
England years ago."
It is indeed a far cry from the
work of the famous nurse in the
Crimea .to the little Ontario village
where her namesake lives and has
lived for many years as one of the
most popular and best known resi-
dents, but thereby hangs,a tale—al
tale of love and war and adventure
such as is seldom heard of today.
I
Years ago in Old London aprom
-;
ising young doctor by the name of,
James Peters fell in love with ands
married a Miss James, a young wo-1
man of wealth and social position
who had known the Nightingale fam-
ily all her life, and who was also a
close friend of the famous Florence.
The young couple set up housekeep-
ing in London, and a baby arrived
and was named Louise. It was Fier-'
epee Nightingale's request that they
should name the next baby after her,
but the name proved unsuitable when
a son was born to the doctor and hi
wife, so the infant was named Her
bert. Tile young couple promised
their friend that if another daughte
was born to them it would certainly
be named Florence.
The young doctor's practice was
steadily growing, and Florence
Nightingale, never having been
strong, retied from the nursing
profession, intending to enjoy her
well-earned leisure among her fam-
ily and friends, but fate decreed oth-
erwise. For some time war clouds
hovering over Europe, and the Crim-
ean War broke out. The British sol-
diers were ill-prepared for the hard-
ships of a long campaign and the
rigors of a Russian winter: They
were tired, homesick and discourag-
ed. Fever broke out, and the out-
look was very black indeed when the
Britigth Government • appealed to
Florence Nightingale for advice. The
answer was to gather together a
small band of faithful followers and
sail for the Crimea. Under her sup-
ervision, the sick and wounded were
cared for as soldiers had never been
cared for before.
Among the many army surgeons
caring for the wounded was the
young Dr. James Peters.
After the war Florence Nightin-
gale sailed home to England, and
Dr. Peters resumed his practice in
London.
Perhaps the trip to the Crimea
had whetted the doctor's appetite for
travel, or maybe the comparative
peace and quiet of Old London irked
him, or perhaps, having built up a
lucrative practice in London, he
sought new worlds to conquer, but
the Peters family braved the perils
of the sea in a sailing vessel, and
six weeks later landed at Montreal.
They made their way to Niagara,
and there a second daughter was
born. True to their promise to their
friend across the sea, the baby was
named Florence Mary Ann Adelaide
Nightingale Peters, And now begins
our story of the second Florence, the
present Mrs. William Mulholland, of
Holmesville,
Later another daughter and twa
more sons were added to the family,
Margaret, Edward and George.
Dr. Peters decided to practice in
Brussels, and there the young Flor-
ence Peters attended school, and
while in her teens she married Wil-
liam Mulholland, a blacksmith. They
set up housekeeping in Walton, and
it was at the home of his daughter
Florence that Dr. Peters passed
away. I
Louise, the eldest daughter, had'
also married and was now Mrs.
Pohlman, of Chicago. While residing
with her daughter in Chicago, Mrs.
Peters found her health failing. In-
tensely British, it was her wish to
die under the Union Jack, and, ac -I
cordingly, started the trip to Canada
to the home of her daughter, Flor-
ence,'who was then living in Holmes-
ville, where her husband had pur-
chased a blacksmith shop. Unfort-
unately, the .trip proved too much
for her in her weakened condition,
and she died in Michigan on herway
to Canada. And thus ended the life
of a courageous English woman who
had known not only the easy and
gaiety of social life in the world's
largest city, but also the perils and
hardships of pioneering in a new
country.
Of the six • children born to Dr.
Peters and his wife,all are alive to-
day.
oday. Besides Mrs. Pohlman, of Chic-'
ago, and Mrs. Mulholland, of Hol-
mesville, there is the third daughter,'
Mrs. Tang, of Louisville, Kentucky,
Herbert and Edward at Owosso,
Mich., and George. at Claremont,
West Virginia. Every year a family
reunion) is held in August at the
s
r
home of. the eldest brother, Herbert,
in Owosso, Mich. Mrs. Mulholland,
is herself the mother of six' children.
William Mulholland carried on his
s
trade in the village fpr many years
in the old red blacksmith shop on
the corner across from the school,
and the writer distinctly remembers
hearing :the blows of his hammer
during school hours. On wet after-
noons the farmers were wont to
gather there to discuss the weather,
politics; and the news of the day
while waiting to take the children
home from school. The old red black-
smith shop was torndown three
years ago to make room for a ser-
vice station.
Like the other Florence' after whom
she was named, Mrs. Mulholland is
skilful in the sickroom. Before the
days of rural telephones and com-
munity hospitals,; the general pro-
cedure in case of sickness was to
get Mrs. Mulholland and then send
for a doctor.
The years have been kind to the
namesake of Florence Nightingale,
who has served her own sphere just
as faithfully as the other Florence
did in hers. —London Free Press.
DOINGS IN THE SCOUT
WORLD
British Scouts Invited to Brooklands
A wide open invitation to British
Boy Scouts to attend one day of the
September motor races at Brook-
lands has been extended by Earl
Howe, the President of the British
Racing Drivers' Club.
Corrigan Formerly a Boy Scout
Douglas Corrigan, who made air
history by his flight from America
to Ireland, was at one time a Boy
Scout in a New York City Troop. He
declared his hiking experiences had
proved of value to him when he took
up flying.
Scouts at theCanadian
National "Ex"
The big annual parade. of Boy
Scouts and Wolf Cubs will not be
held at the Canadian National Ex-
hibition at Toronto this year. In-
stead there will be displays of Scout -
craft work of various kinds. The
usual large staff of public service
Scouts will be maintained, including
those who each year are assigned to
the special task of finding and car-
ing for lost children.
U. S. Sea Scouts Cruise to Montreal
Summer Scout visitors to Canada
included 25 American Sea Scouts
from New Jersey, aboard the two
36 foot cabin cruisers "Reliance" and
"Gull", which reached Montreal by
the inland water route front New
York. The U. S. Sea Scouts were
entertained by Canadian Scouts at
St. Johns, Que., on the way, and at
Montreal were guests of the Royal
St. Lawrence Yacht Chub Sea Scouts
at Dorval.
Indian Scouts Specialize in Rescues
from Wells
Rescues from drowning in . rivers,
lakes and the sea have become al-
most a lookedor service by Boy
Scouts in all the Scouting countries
of the world. In India the Scouts
have added the frequent rescue of
persons who fall into the many wells
,from which whole village communit-
ies draw their water. A recent
typical case has the rescue at Sha -
dacha, Punjab, of a small boy who
had toddled to the well,and fallen
in. The rescuer, Scout Mubarak Ali,
called by the child's excited mother,
at once dived in, grasped the infant,
and held it above the water until a
rope was procured and lowered by
villagers, when both were drawn up
to safety.
MEXICAN BILLS HAVE
NO VALUE
"Mexican bills of the face value of
five pesos are in circulation in Can-
ada. The bills may be identified by
the wording "E1 Estadode Sonora"
on the face of the bill. As those
bills are similiar in appearance to
some Canadian bank notes, Post
Office officials are advised not to
accept them. They are of no value".
Reports have been received that
there are also "10 pesos" notes in
circulation. These are also of , no
value and special care should be tak-
en to see that they are not accepted
at Post Offices or elsewhere,

HOLIDAYS ON MONDAY
Only one argument has yet ap-
peared in any press comment against
The Financial Postfs proposal that
all holidays (except Christmas and
New Year's) be made to fall on a
Monday. Is it that there is a sac-
redness or 4a sentiment, associated
even with national dates or secular
origin, that must not be violated.
But how true is this?
There has been no hesitation on
the part of the country to select an
arbitrary date in June to celebrate
the birthday of oursovereign, a
birthday that actually falls in Dec-
ember.
Those who are appalled by the
thought of moving a holiday off a
date that has intense historical or
sentimental significance might pon-
der upon the fact that the second
most important date in the Christian
calendar has for ages been fixed ar-
bitrarily without relation to our
man-made calendar. This is Easter
which used to be observed upon a
fixed date, but now falls upon the
Sunday following the full moon next
after the vernal equinox. The Chris-
tian churches were split for centuries
upon the date of Easter but one
never hears any hair-splitting on the
question now.
If it is possible to fix Easter in a
certain part of the week, surely we
can do the same for Empire Day,
for our national birthday and for
Remembrance Day,—Financial Post.
MUIST REFOREST
Canada must wake up pretty soon
in the lumber and timber industry
or there won't be very much here
for the future generations. For a
good many years now pine from the
Southern States has worried Caned-
ian newsprint executives, and while
it, is not thought it will absolutely
squelch the Canadian industry, it is
abouttime a t hose who are felling our
forests wake up and join in the re-
forestation scheme. i
In Canada once a lumber company
gets into a stand of timber it takes
everything that is of any use. What;
is 'left, with its piles of brush left;
lying around is real fire hazard, The
lumbering company does not worry'
about this, however.
Down South theyregardtheir tin-,
ber as a "crop" and adequate refor-t
estatio#i measuresare taken, even
during the logging operations, to in-
sure that a future crop will come
along in course of time.
Canadians are wasters, so far as
their natural resources are concern-
ed and -apparently think not of 'to-
morrow. It is not generally known,
but it is a fact that Sweden, a lum-
bering country, has today 40 per
cent more merchantable timber than
she had 100 years ago. Only one
reason can be given for this.—Re
forestration.
It is about time the , Canadian
Government wakened up to the fact
that if our lumbering interests take
no interest the Government should
and make them replace every tree
they cut down.
There is no country in the world
with the timber preserves nearly ap-
proaching' Canada in quantity land
quality. She is indeed foolish if she
doesn't move soon to see that these
natural resources are perpetual.
