Samarkand, the Distinctive West Coast geO.reinent Residence, at. .Santa Barbara,. California," They, are -cloPghters. of the late Thomas Marks who .owned the farm. and brick :residence ,of George Clark, Detroit, on the. pipe water Highway, -Goderich -Township, opposite the zolf cOnrSe, Like ladies of the Victorian era they do not care to MentiOn their age, but whispered it a secret tq Lucy, She marvelled at the youthful appenonce and ,zest for life of these two ladies, They tied made the `came from California to Hamilton to visit nieces 0.0 then 'to Hayfield to visit relatives and ..contact school friends. They enjoyed the Fall Fair and in their own words ."had a wonderful time" lest week. Asked for reminiscences of school daye,..they to of walking 'the two and a half miles into school in Hayfield and home agale each •day, -'Going home they always met Captain ,Jackspn coming down to get his daily paper. He never noticed the children, And every morning in Bayfield, they met • Henry Wain- wright who told them whether or not the first bell had rung. After their father's death, Charlotte (the late Mrs, Riley) and Birdie walked to school through a very bed snowstoem, howling winds driving large flakes of wet snow. They were quite tired when they finally got to school, Later their cousin Tom Gairdner (the late Dr. Thomas Gairdner) came to the school and asked for them. The teacher said 'they had arrived „safely. "Tell them to get ready, I'm. here to drive them home!" he s4iCIrThey were ushered out to his cutter and ticked in under warm robes. He advised their mother never to allow the children to go to school in such .a storm again. At School ,Miss Marks, recalls that her teacher was Walter Baker, and that he presented her wieh a book of poems which she treasured for a great many years but lost it in moving, It was given for perfect attendance, but Mr. Baker said that not only bed she been at school every single day but she had the farthest to walk, Birdie Marks attended Clinton Collegiate Institute for two or three years before her step-father, S. Mittelholtz took the family to Milton, N. Dak., U.S.A., in 1895. After residing there for awhile they moved farther on. Alice Marks didn't care about school so she stopped. Her teacher was A. E. M. Thompson (later Rev. Thompson) and he certainly drilled her in. the 'rivers of the North American cant- _Tient so that she never forgot them! She confessed to liking George Peck 'at school. Alice, of course, had her dinner, George ,would hurry back to school after his. One day when they were playing "catch" around the school, George Peck caught her dress and. all the buttons came off. They were both chagrined so worked very hard picking pins out of - cracks in the school floor to pin up her- drees before school started, ' Also Alice knew that in Uncle James Gairdner's store, slate pencils were two for a cent and so were candy sticks. Uncle James Gardner was one of the. kindest men she ever knew, . So she bargained with him for one slate pencil and one candy stick for a rent After that she frequently lest slate pencils! "Yee', joined in Miss Bi die, "end I can see him yet when we went for the. mail. He'detell us to wait, and he'd go behind the counter and break off some horehound. candy for us—great big round sticks of it." In Trinity Church Sunday School, Miss Birdie remembers Em Jowett as her Sunday School teacher and Mrs. Hunter recalls Lillian Elliott teaching her for a short time and then Lizzie Cameron. She also remembered 'Flossie Pollock and her little sister being at Sunday School. Alice, like many another pupil, regretted her decision to stop school, so when she was grown she went to high school at Aerora, Ill., U.S.A., then she went on to Elizabeth Gamble Deaconess Home and Kindergarten and took a course there, attending college in Cincinnati. She taught in the kindergarten for ten years. ' Asked why they went to California,. Miss Birdie explained that - their mother moved from: Grand Forks, N, Dak., to Pasa- dena in 1910. She Went out to her in 1912 for a year and then back- to Minneapolis to a positiee which she held for 25 years. In 1929 she went to Pasadena to care for her mother who died in 1933. Minneapolis drew her again until 1941, but she returned to Redwood City, where her mother had left her a cottage, until going into Samarkand in 1957. Alice Marks, the Deaconess, well,- she just became. lonesome and went out to visit her mother. Here she met Fred Hunter, a man whom. she had known and liked when 17. She hadn't seen him for 20 years, They were married in California in 1924 and he passed away in. 1931. - What of Hayfield itself? "It has growing pains," said Miss Birdie. "I've been back over the years but now I must change my conception of the village and even our old house." • "I'll never think of our old home except as we knew it, and those two lovely maple trees," said Mrs. Hunter. "Goodbye! We'll be back in ten years," they said. And after they'd left, Lucy thought of the gorgeous Persian gardens, the picturesque country yard, the view of mountains and sea, the luxurious appointments of Samarkand where they live: Truly a visit to their nieces, Mrs. Mary Sinka, Hamilton and Mrs. William Herod, Burlington, plus a week amid the scenes of their childhood must have had a powerful urge to bring them so far.
