Mrs. Ann Doidge, Miss Marion
Grandfather Townshend was a
gypsy.
He didn't wear a bandana and a
golden earring, As far as I know,
he never played' the fiddle, To
him, gypsying meant buying,
selling, or trading anything from
poultry to livestock, from farm
tnachinery and tools to cedar
posts and cords of wood, and
from land lots to complete farms.
When he was six years old, he
attended his first sale, It was a
sad event, the auction of his
deceased grandfather's property.
A few years later he spent an
afternoon pulling mustard for
which he earned 25 cents, With
this money, he bought a rabbit,
Soon he owned 10 rabbits. The
family cat, however, destroyed
his profit by killing eight of the
bunnies. The two remaining
rabbits were then traded for two
*tarn hens. Grandpa's gyp-
sying days had begun!
When he was a teen-ager in the
early 1900's, he decided his father
needed another wagon. Thus he
purchased one at an auction for
$7.50. At the age of 21 he rented
some land of his own, and that
'Wagon was part of the equipment
he used in his first harvest.
During the next 50 years, he
bought and sold more than 30
pieces of property. When I heard
that, my eyes widened. Surely he
and my grandmother didn't move
30 times! No, they moved only
nine times. In each house,
though, Grandma busily painted,
papered, and added her personal
touches. In addition, she served
as Grandpa's bookkeeper and
secretary.
Meanwhile Grandpa attended
sales regularly, Because both
afternoon and evening auctions
were common, he, often visited
seven sales a week. Toronto,

Another page dated March 31,
1941 listed post and wood. prices;
20 cedar posts, 33 cents each; 10
end posts, 53 cents each; 20 cords
of wood, $2.55 per cord.
The gypsy way of life was
precarious. Therefore the
Depression struck a harsh blow
and brought the hardest times
Grandpa can recall, Everyone
struggled and suffered. For the
postwar generation, it is difficult
to envision the desperation of
those years,
Nevertheless my grandfather
was content with his gypsy life.
The good times out numbered the
hardships. He met many people,
acquired several lasting friend-
ships, and gathered memorable
experiences.
Now he is never lost for a story
to relate from his gypsying days.
London, Denfield, and. Kitchener
were only a few of his favourite
haunts,
In several localities, men
called "spotters" informed him
of available livestock, which they
thought might interest him. If
Grandpa purchased the animals,
the "spotter" collected up to $5.00
for each.
Often Grandpa arrived home at
midnight or later. Knowing the
truck's contents were un-
predictable, my father waited to
help unload the vehicle.
Sometimes it contained cows that
required milking immediately,
regardless of the hour.
During the winter, Grandpa
packed his barn with mer-
chandise. When spring arrived,
he sponsored an auction, A faded

wagon, $30.00; 1 wagon tongue,
