Fifteen years later they moved
to a 100 acre farm on Highway 4
at R.R.1, Brucefield, which Mr.
Layton had purchased from his
brother George, where they farrr
ed for 47 years. Besides farming
Mr. Layton was well known as
a thresher in the area, and as an
athlete in his younger years whet
he played a great deal of foot-
ball and lacrosse.
Mr, and Mrs. Layton retired
to Bayfield in 1961, where they
reside on Keith Crescent. They
are both very active, especially
with their vegetable and flower
gardens in season; and at present
Mrs. Layton has a profusion of
African Violets blooming in
their home, along with many
other well -cared for house plant:
Besides their immediate
family, Mr. and Mrs. Layton
have eight grandchildren and
five great grandchildren.
Among the multitude of
greetings received were those
from Prime Minister Trudeau,
Leader of the Opposition, Robert
Stanfield, and Robert E. Mc-
Kinley, M.P. for Huron.
Mr. and Mrs. Layton, 88
years and 80 years of age resp-
ectfully, take a very keen int-
erest in the community and
world affairs, and it is our wish
that they enjoy much health and
happiness.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Bayfield Historical
Society learned from Mrs. Gwer.
Pemberton at their meeting
Monday evening, that she had
talked with Professor H.B.
Timothy of the U, W. O. and
had arranged for him to come
to Bayfield, Wednesday even-
ing, August 15, to speak on
John Galt. The members of the
Huron County Society, as well
as those interested are to be
invited to also attend. This
meeting will be held in the old
Town Hall.
Reeve Ed Oddleifson gave a
report on the new Post Office
presently under construction.
He stated it is to have a peaked
roof, and will be finished on the
exterior with an imitation brick,
Most of the trees will be left,
the grounds will be landscaped,
there will be some off-street
parking for employees and the
mail truck as well as adequate
customer parking at the front.
A letter from the Society is to
forward to the Council request-
ing that they look to the possib-
ility of placing a commemorat-
ive plaque in the new Post Of-
fice, The first Post Office in
Bayfield was in 1847, and Mr.
Donald Fraser was the Postmast-
er; in 1862 it became a money -
order office, with Mr, James
Gairdner as Postmaster.
A suggestion that a small
brochure be printed, of events
and history of the Village, to
hand out to tourists was met witl
enthusiasm, and Mrs. Morton,
Miss Ethel Dewar and Reeve
Oddleifson will start on this
project immediately to have
it ready for our summer tourists.
The meeting then took the
form of a "Show and Tell, "
