LONDESBORO
William Thomas Brunsdon, a long-
time resident and business man of
Londesboro district, died at his home
on Monday after a lengthy illness, in
his 82nd year. A son of the late
John Brunsdon, well known wagon
and carriage maker of Londesboro,
and Margaret (Blake) Brunsdon, he
was born near Toronto in 1860, and
when but two years of age he came
with his parents to Huron county.
They lived for a period at Kinburn;
later moving to Londesboro. Mr.
Brunsdon was a machinist by trade
and for many years operated a ma-
chine and blacksmith shop in Lond-
esboro, in which he was active until
about one year ago when his strength
failing he retired from active work.
Ile was Methodist and later United
Church in religion and lent his ser-
vices in all community welfare move-
ments. In 1884 he married Mary
Mason, who survives. There also
survive three sons, J. Howard Bruns -
don, Clinton; A. A. Brunsdon, Wa-
dens, Sask., and Bert Brunsdon, of
Londesboro; one daughter,..Mrs. Ri-
chard Vodden, Hullett township; and
eight grandchildren. The funeral
was held Wednesday afternoon from
the residence, the service being con-
ducted by Rev. A. E. Menzies of the
Londesboro United Church. Inter-
ment took place in Londesboro cem-
etery.

Has Treasures from
Four Continents
By Mrs. Alta Lind Rociges in the
London Free Press,
The old, Fowler home in Hulled
Township, about ; five miles tram,
Clinton, is a veritable treasure house.
This substantial old brickhouse was
built over 80 years ago by the grand-
father of the present occupants, Fred
and. Matilda ,Fowler, both of whom
are retired school teachers.. 'Phe

ows large and many paned. The brick
Walls are as straight and true today
as if they had never weathered the
storms' of more than 80 years, It was
built to be a home and a home it is
and has been for three generations
of the Fowler family. As one would
expect, it las wide chimneys and a
large fireplace in each room. Outside
there is a lawn with many flowers;
a small rock garden; a number of
evergreen trees and a short flag-
stone walk leading to a little white.
greenhouse where Miss Fowler has a
large collection of oactus ;plants.
Here is old man cactus, tall and
stooped and covered with grizzly
gray hair; here are plants shaped
like .ornate footstools, covered with.
white spines as sharp as needles;
here are cactus plants with mauve
colored foliage which resembles
flowers; mauve spotted, white spot-
ted, white striped, white edged and
even one that looks like a piece of
old iron fence painted green.
There are also several century
plants. Supposed to bloom only once
in 100 years, they really bloom every
18 or 20 years. Perhaps those 20
years see mlike a century to the
gardener waiting for the plants to
bloom.
Miss Fowler, who has traveled ex-
tensively, says this particular cactus
plant grows profusely in Yugoslavia
and she had the privilege of seeing
The Fowler home contains more
than 2,000 boons: and 45. olocks, One
tall grandfather Block belonged to
the grandparents of the Fowlers and
was brought from England in 1844,
Arriving at New York, the pioneers
engaged 'a teamster to drive them to
Niagara. The teamster was averse to
hauling the 'Clock over, the difficult
corduroy roads of the day but Mrs.
Fowler insisted that the clock be
taken, A few -days later when they
stoppedfor the night, Mrs. 'Fowler
discovered, that her cherished clock
was not iii the wagon. The teamster
aduiitted he had left it at a settler's
the night before and it was now
many miles behind them. All efforts
to appease Mrs. Fowler failed, Not
for this had she brought her cher-
ished clock on. the long perilous"
voyage across the sea. She refused.
to travel even one inch farther with-
out it. She put on her bonnet and
Shawl and declared she would walk'
straigh btacli to New York and sail
for England if the clock were not
recovered immediately. The good
lady meant exactly what she said,,
and the teamster, muttering and
cursing to himself, spent most of
the night going back for the clock
and when the journey was finally re-
newed, it was a very sulky teamster,
indeed, that balanced a tall grand-
father clock precariously on top of
his load.
After a log house had been built
in Hulled Township the Fowlers
discovered that the clock was much
too high for the cabin, With regret
the ornamental top was sawn off so
that it might stand on the cabin
floor, Later, when the large brick
house was built the top was replaced
and so it stands today, still occur

Another possession is a rare old-
fashioned music box. The handsome
mahogany cabinet is almost as tall
as the owner himself. The mechan-
ism consists chiefly of a number of
steel disc records standing on edge
in en orderly row. With almost un-
canny, ' mechanical precision, like
similar modern instruments, the old
machine lifts up one disc, plays it,
lowers it again and then another
record comes forward and up, is
played and lowered again. It is be-
ieved to be noe of Thomas Edison's
inventions. The music is very pleas-
ing to the ear and it plays the old
favorite tunes of another day.

were attacked seems to indicate that
