REUNION SERVICE (Continued From Page 1.) the best quality is evidenced by the fine state of preservation of the build- ing. The eaves troughing put up when the home was built is still doing service. The church service, for which•tile church was filled to seating capacity, and the cemetery decoration was the original idea of 'President J, W. Crich to whom much credit is due for the success of the event throughout. Mr. Burton 10 his re- marks stated that it was the first in- stance of worship service and decor- ation in eonneetion with a family re- union that he had ever known. In his sermon which was a strong admonition to godly living, Mr. Bur- ton referred to the fine Christian character of the founders of the Crich family: Family worship, grace at meals, fidelity to church and upright- ness of living were woven in the fam- ily growth and the value of such in. community life and in the growth of a nation cannot be over -stated. The choir at this service was composed of members of the Crich family. They were Mrs, H. Fowler, Mrs. W. Wallis, Mrs. F. Townsend, Mrs. Howard Crich, Mrs. Ernest Crich, Mrs. John Turner, Mrs. James Whitmore, Mrs. Roy Pepper, Misses Viola Pepper, Edith Pepper, Margaret Crioh, Messrs. Erlin Crich, Frank Crich, Ernest Crich, Fletcher Townsend, Elmer Townsend, Roy Pepper and Wilmer Wallis. Special music numb- ers were a duet by Mrs. W. Wallis and sister, Mrs. R. Pepper; male quartet, Messrs. Fletcher Townsend, Eriin Whitmore, Ernest Crick and Elmer Townsend. The ushers were Howard and Her- man Crich and the offering which proved to be very generous was taken up by Gifford Crich and John Turner. Turner's Church, in which the ser- vice was held, was erected in 1862, replacing a log building which had been the original place of worship for the community. The fourth gen- eration of the Turner family on whose land the church was built now occupy the farm residence. The first burial in the cemetery was in 1854. There are, as far as known, 40 of the descendants of the elder John Crich, of the name of Crich buried there beside their connections. The idea of placing flowers on every burial plot in the cemetery was carried out for which purpose there was an abundance of flowers. At the Saturday gathering the elec- tion of officers for the 1940 reunion took place and the results were: President, Mr. Samuel Whitmore; vice president, Mr. Gifford Crich; sec- retary, Mrs, (Dr.) H. Fowler; treas- urer, Mr. Ernest Crich. The program committee of 1.939 was retained. It was, decided that the 1940 re. union will be held in Jowett's Grove, Bayfield." Perhaps, and there are many who are of that opinion, there is not an- other community in Ontario where farms have remained in the same families generation after generation as have the fine home farms of this section of Tuckersmith Township. The 'Crich, Pepper, 'Whitmore, Tur- ner, Townsend families are in- stances of that persevering quality.
