- —~ \ -■
Last November The Sentined pub
lished a" lengthly .article in connec
tion with the one hundredth birthday
of a former Lucknowite, Captain
Alex McKay. Recently we . received
some further interesting incidents
where he went West early in the
century.' .
As quite a youngman, McKay
took, to sailing and culminated a col
orful career on. 3-masted schooners
by attaining to the captaincy of the
Edward Blake. Before giving up the
seas, he last served on the “Hattie
Wells”, one of the last of the pld
sailing vessels to ply the lakes. Three
times he crossed the ocean....
He was married quite young to
Margaret Currie, who Was born -near
Toronto. She was living in Huron
at the time of their meeting. Dur
ing his sailing days the Captain
made “his home in Lucknow, where
his own father lived.. It was in Liick-
•now that the famous . Caledonian
games Were/hhJd and in which the
captain took an active part. He was
on the Tug-o-war team which held
the championship for five years
against Woodstock.
There were born, to the- Capt. Mc
Kay family the following children:
Ed. and Angus now at Qlaresholm;
Belle in Minnot, N.D.; .Mary Lane
who died in Lucknow'; Katherine., and
Annie now in Nariton, Marie in /Min
neapolis and Margaret," who -died in
infancy. His wife,, Margaret died in
Lucknow at the age of 56 years.

DREW SNOW AWAY
Work .was? commenced last Friday
of drawing away banks- of' snfiw,
several feet in height, that had piled
up on"both sides of the main street
during the past few weeks of an',
“old' time winter”. Good headway
was made on the south side- of the
street, and When Mother Nature took
a hand in the matter by bringing
mild weather the first of the week,
the work was ■ discontinued as the
snow banks settled rapidly*
The snow was dumped . ihto the
river gulley hear the foot of “Qual
ity Hill”. With an unusuhl quantity
of snow on the street it was feared
that a sudden thaw might •
some of the. stdres ifi Oertain
of the village.
