Part of the history of
Goderich Township, and a man
considered an institution in the
area for nearly half a century,
Daniel Edward (Danny) Glid-
den of 176 Ontario Street. in
Clinton, died at his home sud-

1974. He was 73.

residents, Mr. Glidden, along
with his wife Maizie ran the
Holmesville general store for
43 years and served two
generations of people in the
Township.

a son of the late Daniel Glid-

and on March 31, 1926, he
married Maizie Walters in
Benmiller. She survives him.

township, as every week for 30
years, he and his wife and
family would load up his small
truck with every kind of thing
imaginable and he would drive
the township sideroads selling
his merchandise to farmers,
their wives and children.
Nearly two generations of
children in the area can recall

they felt when they saw the
cloud of dust that signalled
Danny's weekly visit down
their sideroad. Many of the
