Happy birthday
Edythe Beacom of Londesborough enjoys visiting with
friends at an open house held in Clinton this past weekend
in honour of her 90th birthday. Over 200 people attended. A
dinner for some 50 relatives and long-time friends was held
following the open house. (Photo submitted)
Woman celebrates
90th birthday
Scores of well-wishers dropped
by the Betty Cardno Centre in
Clinton last Sunday afternoon, Oct.
2 to help Edythe Beacom celebrate
her 90th birthday. She obviously
enjoyed reminiscing with everyone
who came along the line.
Folks attended from Michigan,
Chatham, London, Calgary and
Dawson Creek as well as the more
immediate area to honour this
birthday.
Edythe was raised on the 13th of
Hullett on the farm now owned by
her nephew, Bob Beacom. For most
of her adult life she has lived in the
same house on Main Street in
Londesborough. Over the years she
has been a faithful member of, and
willing worker in, the
Londesborough United Church.
Therefore a goodly number of
area friends and neighbours, past
and present, were there to wish her
a happy birthday.
Edythe taught elementary school
for 37 years, from 1936 to 1973. For
the majority of those years she was
in schools in Huron County and her
well-wishers included many former
colleagues and pupils.
It is difficult to appreciate the
many changes Edythe has seen in
the society and the world in her 90
years. She must have been a wealth
of history information to her pupils
and family over the years. It is to
Rice’s Store. To long-time area folk
this was once the Nelson Lear farm.
The Wilts's home has been
purchased by Jason Moir and
Crystal Parks. Jason, from the
Seaforth area works at the Benmiller
Falls Conservation Area for the
Ministry of Natural Resources.
Crystal from Clinton, is an
elementary school teacher doing
supply work in area schools.
The couple previously lived in
Goderich. Welcome to
Londesborough, folks.
The sympathy of the community
is extended to Tom and Marjorie
Duizer and family on the death of
Marjorie’s mother and former
Londesborough resident, Addie
Hunking. Addie was also Angela
her credit that she continues to keep
a keen interest in today’s every-
changing world.
In good health and having
recently undergone cataract surgery
and passing her driver’s test, Edythe
is ready to tackle more of life for
some time yet.

you to
Cullen’s grandmother. Our
condolences to all of you.
Lorne and Addie built a home in
Londesborough (now home to Tom
and Marjorie), around 1970. They
came to the village when their
farmhouse on the 13th of Hullett
was destroyed by fire. That
experience convinced Addie that
nothing in life can be taken for
granted.
I recall her saying that from that
time forward she was going to “go"
whenever an opportunity arose for
as along as she was able. Those of
us who knew Addie remember that
she did just that, taking an active
part in Londesborough
United/UCW and the Women's
Institute.

Although her activities have been

maintained her interest in the
activities of her children and
