Memories Renewed This present week in the month of November means much to "Yours Truly". It brings back memories of 59 years ago, which still linger in my mind, especially in this month beginning on the ninth until the 13th, when my pal of years was killed in the lumber woods on the above date by a falling tree in Millersburg, Mich. 'Wedding- Party On Tuesday evening last rela- tives and friends gathered at the Fortier hall in St. Joseph, in re- sponse to an invitation given them by Mr. and Mrs. George Bedard, who were recently married. The evening was spent as usual on such occasions to make it pleasing for all, such as sing -songs, danc- ing and chatting to make a pleas- ant evening of it. The (bride and groom received many good wishes for their fu- ture. Refreshments and lunch were served, which added greatly to the party. Mr. and Mrs. Bedard will live in Zurich for some time.

We, as rambling pals, left St. Joseph in. the early fall, in Sept- ember, to spend the winter in the lumbering camps, as in those years gone by there was no other means of working to put a few dollars together. And besides, for my pal and I it was a pleasure for us to take off and ramble from place to place, seeking views and ways of living in different places. When relating this story to you, it may seem strange and unbe- lievable, but the second nightprevious to the tragedy, I was awak- ened at mid -night in our sleeping quarters by what appeared the voice of a crying child, and not until minutes had passed away did the voice vanish. rany?d o f ot want the 28 tell my p boys in oamp, fearing to be ba - booed, so 1 remained, silent that day. Strange to say the following night my pal was awakened also through the night by hearing the same child's voice, and strange as it may seem no one else heard it. Being a Thursday we kept the secret with ourselves to near the end of the day, when my pal broke the news to what he had heard, fearing something had happened to his aged parents. We then spoke of that incident most nearly all of the day, trying to forget the meaning of it, if there was any. After we had agreed of hearing the same thing, we came to the conclusion that something, some- where would be happening. Super- stition you will say, no, a reality beyond contradiction. A reality that brings to mind that fateful November day of 59 years ago, which ended the career of a young man in the prime of life. His remains lie in the Parish cemetery.
