She is the oldest woman resident in the district. She was born in Devonshire, Eng., Febru­ ary 17th, 1843, being the second younigest of four sons and eleven daughters of the late James and An­ ne Pomeroy. At the age of six weeks she came to Canada with her parents and their fourteen children. This was a memorable voyage. They crossed the ocean in a sailing ves­ sel which took six to seven weeks to make the trip. Tihey encountered stormy weather and the trip was much delayed. When the Pomeroy family arrived in Canada they set­ tled first in Stratford and then mov­ ed to ,St. Marys. From 'St. Marys the family moved to Downie Township, Perth County where Mr. Pomeroy was engaged as caretaker of an An­ glican Church. In 1860 Hannah Marie Pomeroy married John Sand­ ers and settled on the farm on the 3rd concession of Stephen, where Mrs. Sanders has been a continuous resident with the exception of one year. At the time they moved onto the farm only five of the fifty acres was cleared land. Mrs. Sanders re­ lates how she would burn the brush heaps at night while her husband and brother would split the rails used in 'buildinig fences. In a rem­ iniscent mood she told tales of the early days, ©ears and deer were plentiful in her girlhood years. One morning Mr. Sanders noticed that one of his pigs had been taken. He at once investigated, followed tracks until he came upon the bear that had succeeded in getting away with the pig. Mr. Sanders captured the bear but the pig had been terribly torn to pieces. Mrs. Sanders is in fairly good health and does not use glasses. She has only one brother living, namely, James, of London, at 'present spending the winter in Florida. She has three daughters, Mrs. Geo. Walker, with whom she resides, Mrs. George Penhale, of To­ ronto and Mrs. Frank Triebner, of Exeter, who celebrated her 76th birthday an Monday, February 7th. Mrs. Sanders was present for the oc­ casion where she received a large number of callers. Mrs. Sanders re­ ceived a substantial money-order as a birthday gift from an intimate friend in Guilford, England. Her many friends will joini with the TimesHAclvocate in congratulations and best wishes for .her future wel­ fare.

A DASTARDLY TRICK (On Friday evening of last week while the Adult Bible Class of the James Street Sunday School were holding a social evening in the church some person or persons play­ ed a dastardly trick that might have resulted in serious damage. They took the cap and nut from one of the rear wheels of Mr. Bert Bissett’s buggy. Mr. and Mrs. Bissett had gone q,b0'ut a block when the wheel came off. Fortunately they had a quiet horse and little damage was done. Returning to the shed they had some difficulty in locating the cap and nut. A further exam­ ination of the buggies in the shed revealed that a nut had been re­ moved from the back wheel of Mr. Harvey Perkins’ buggy. In that case the cap had been put back on again Fortunately this was located before Mr. and Mrs. pcrltins had started out as Mr. Perkins was driving a frisky animal and a runaway would possibly have been the result had the wheel come off while they were on the road. iSome boys had been observed loitering around the shed. A warning has 'been Issued that in future persons loitering about the shed will be prosecuted.
