HISTORIC VAN EGMOND
HOME IS SOLD
Mr. Earl Van Egmond announced
thisweek that he has sold his home
in Egmondville to Mr. Wilson C. Oke
of Windsor. Mr. Oke has been a
real estate and insurance :agent in
Windsor and we understand he in-
tends to establish a similar business
here. Possession will be given No-
vember 1st. Thenew owner is • a
brother of Mr. Orville Oke of the
Royal Apartments.
Mr. W. C. Oke and his son are in-'
terested in show horses and they ex-
pect to continue along this line in.
Egmondville, Mr. VanEgmond stated.
The sale of the VanEgmond pro-
perty is of historic significance in
Huron County, as the property has
been in' the hands of the VanEgmond'
family since about 1828, a period of
more than 110 years. The land is
part of the VanEgmond Reserve, an
area granted to Colonel VanEgmond
who came to Canada from the Neth-
erlands and built the first road into
the Huron Tract, now known as the
Huron Road or Highway No. 8.
The house was built some years
later and is said to be one of the
most solidly built houses in this dis-
trict. The basement contains a room
with barred windows which was in-
tended as a jail in the early days.
Earl VanEgmond has made no
plans yet for the future. "I feel
rather guilty about selling the place"
Mr. VanEgmond said, "but owing to
my health am not able to look after
it." . ..

THERE 1S .2,'O DEATH
There is no death, The sten, go down
'To rise upon same faster shore,
Andbright in heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
'there is aro death. The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summed showoff
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
ter rainbow -tinted flowers.
There Is no death ; the leaves may fall --
The flowers may fade and pass away - •
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There Is no death. An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved ones away,
And then - we call them "dead".
Sora into that undying life,
They leave us b t .to come again ;
With joy we welcome them — the same
Except in sin and .pain.
And over near us, the' unseen,
Their dear immortal spirits tread ;
For all this boundless Universe
Is Life — there are no dead.
