Everyone has seen the end of at
least a few decades but few have seen
as many as Miss Mary Turner has. On
Tuesday, December 11 this lady
celebrated her 103 birthday.
.Miss Turner, who has lived at
Huronview for the past 11 years, was
born in Tuckersmith Township in 1876 ,
to Edward Turner and the former
Eliza Code. The large family lived on
lot 29, concession 3 on the Huron Road
Survey. •
At the • age of three, Miss Turner
was striken with "the fever" which
left her as a frail and weak child. The
illness was so hard on the young girl,
that she was unable to go to school
until she was eight years old.
She did receive a primary school
education and attended SS 6 in
Tuckersmith. •
Miss Turner lived with her parents
on the family farm until 1893 and then
moved to . Clinton. An unmarried
woman, slie lived continued to live
with her parents until 1920, when she
went of Wingham to live with her
married sister.
Later, Miss Turner moved to
Nelson B.C. where she lived and
helped her widowed sister. After
living there for nine years she
returned to Wingham where she made
her home until 1969 when she moved
to Huronview.
Although she had no children of her
own, Miss Turner is remembered by
several nieces and nephews and the
farm that she' was raised on still
belongs to the family.
The homestead was established in
1833 when Miss Tu'rner's grandfather
received the land from the Canada
Company. Six generations later, it is
still in the Turner-; name and is now
owned by Miss Turner's great-
nephew George Turner. Mrs. Turner .
has a teenaged son Barry who may ,
someday carry on the family
tradition.

The board's refusal to

an integral role in
Hensall's bid to annex

the councils of Hensall

GODERICH - The ar-
chitecture of buildings in
the core area of Goderich
will be protected by law
in the future. Recently,
the ~Goderich council
agreed to incorporate a

town's official plan.
The heritage plan has
been a contentious issue
in Goderich since its
proposal several years
ago. Merchants in' the
core area, on whose
property the plan would
have the greatest impact,
claimed the plan was too
restrictive and urged
council to avoid -it.
