Recalls Former Seaforth-
Bayfield Stage Driver
Fifty years ago a person by the
name of James McGee was respon-
sible for the conveyance of the
Queen's mail from Seaforth to Bay -
calling at Brueofiel'd and Varna
en route, recal•IT John MacTavisth in
the Frey Press recently.
The McGees were born in Ireland,
in the Little Village of Kilcooley,
County of Tipperary, and left there
for Canada back in the early 60's.'
Harry's inclinations leaned towards
following a mercantile career, while
names„ better known as Jimmy,
tbought more a:boait tilling the soil
1 and other things to his liking that
night come his way. .
And one thing that did• come was
carrying the mail. FoP'that purpose
lite deemed it necessary, to use a two
or three -seated stage coach and a
team of reliable horses,
He counted on transporting num-
bers of passengers as well as mall
matters, also luggage, from which he
shonid add appreciably to his yearly
vevenve_ He made the trip every
lawful day, covering each time about
r 31 miles.
• A passenger would pay 25c for a
+ride from Seaforth to Brucefield, and,
a similar amount, perhaps a trlfte
snixre, was the charge' from that place
l3a3field.
Jimmy was a familiar figure oh the
y artreete of Seaforth during the late
0 ' SO's and is through the a90's. His wag
a unique personality, resourceful,
itia,tive tactful, good at repartee and
not lacking zn wit and humor. He
grameseed a retentive rkuetnory, but
one which bn occasion could play
pranks.
We might cite as an. instance the
time when, a woman gave him a list
of, items she wished him to fetch >or
Bir from Seaforth. She was on band
to get them when he returned, and
was disappointed on learning that he
load neglected to attend to the mat -
iter.
The next del brought the same re-
aruit,, whereupon the woman niade it
k 1"

e1
emphatic that she must have the
things soon. After she had gone,
Jimmy remarked to a llyirtander:
"How does yon body expeci° me to
fetch her parcel when f•: lost her
note 7"
The old post office wags, then al-
most opposite the Commercial Hotel.
On one occasion a commercial trav-
eller who was being driven. from Sea -
forth to board a train at Bracefieid,
remarked on, the way that he hoped
1,'e would not have long to, wait after
he arrived.
Jimmy's; observation was, "Yell de
Banged well, mister, at the rate we're
going. if you're there on toime."
A few minutes elapsed,'then the
pa.seenger, becoming rather uneasy,
asked Mr. McGee if it would make
any difference to him if lie were to
drive some faster.
"No!" said Jimmy, "1 believe it
would make no difference to me; it
mofght make a difference to the hors-
es,"
We are of the opinion, that more
funds came to the mailman from av-
enues other than those wdtich eman-
ated from canrying passengers.
Everyday he would heave a "cargo"
consisting of anything from a thimbie
to a roll of linoleum; from a loaf of
bread to a bag of flour; from -a erate
of chickens to a mongrel dog. We
don't know ,what his fee was for
transporting livestock, but the price
attached to parcels an,d bundles usual-
ly
su l-ly ranged foam nethaag to 50c.
Jlmnt,y eneoyed telling to friends
about the time a certain fellow per -
'slated in having him take a bicycle
to Bayfield on a day when he was. al-
ready overloaded'. The matter ended
by a promise being given to have the
wheel in the village next day fiat- 25c.
.Shortly'afterwards a young tram ap-
proached,

"Can you ride a bloycle? asked
Jimmy:
"Sure I can," answered' the lad.

Shortly before 4 p.m. Siebert with
his two daughters, Judie, 11, and
Joan, 10, went with Clayton Hoffman
to the lake.
They went in bathing by the oi.d
wooden pier at St. Joseph. When one
of the children' saw the inflated 'tire
she was using for a float carried out
from her depth by waves that were
rolling she asked her father to re-
cover it.
Siebert swam out and was abput to'
grab the tire which had floated about
150 feet from, shore and around the
end of the pier, when he shouted for
help.
Miss Burnette Mousseau, of Zur-
ich, who was sitting in at car at the
beach, saw him throw up his arms
and disappear. Sure raised 'the alarm
and Hofl;man swam out and around
the spot where the hockey star had
disapieared, apparently seized by a
cramp. Wheu he could find no sign
of his chum he hurried to summon
aid.
When, others arrived tb take up
the search Hoffman drove back to
Zurich and a score of residents there
rushed to the lake to aid. Dr_ P. J.

Scoring three goals in the last 10
minutes of play Brussels came from
behind to tie the second game c.f
their best -of -five series with St:
Columban in Brussels Wednesday
night, St. Columban was leading 3.0
until within 10 minutes of full time

in the series for the junior W.F.A.
historic cup which has been in their
possession since 1933 when they took
it from Holstein. The St. Columban
boys have successfully defended the
cup ever since.
It was a disheartened army of
Brussels fans that watched their team
trot onto the field for the second half
with the visitors three goals in the
lead, but once the Brussels' drive
started. the fans wakened with a
start and the cheer leaders usednp
almost as much energy as the play-
ers.
° Cleary- opened the scoring in the
first half when he netted St. Colum -
ban's first goal. McIver scored the
second counter and John O'Connor
scored the third on a penalty kick.
