RECALLS NAMING OF
JOHN ALSO LOGAN
Mr. Louis Fleersehutz, of itgmond'
vale, recalls an interesting 'fact in
connection with the name of the late
John A. Logan, native of Seaforth,
who died recently in Vancouver, The
"A." stands for Also, Mr. Logan's
name being John Also Logan. The
name Also was acquired on the day
of his baptisin. According to Mr.
Fleurschutz two baby boys were bap-
tized on the same day in the Presby-
terian Church and by chance both
were called John. That was how it
happened that the minister in beetle-
ing the second boy said "John, also."
and to the day of his death he re-
mained John Also Logan.
