She's -tettortedo some big ones
Mrs. Earl Howes has been a correspondent with the
ign l-Star..�for 30 years,
But all that isrto e`n`d satin. She feels she is getting too old
to get around now like she used to—arid her hearing is
getting poor, • _
Mrs. Howes was born July 26, 1904•in the very house she
lives in today. She lives in Ashfield Township, R.R.3,
Goderich.
She went to school in a little one -roomed schoolhouse
until the tenth grade, when she began at Goderich District d .
('ollegiate I stitute- After high school, Mrf. Howes went to
Stratford Normal School and became a teacher.
She taught for five years in Dufferin County and at Port
Albert School Thendn 1929 she married Earl Howes in the
`same hou.sein which `she presently resides.
The Howes lived in-Wiiigham and Gorrie, and in 1932
cattle back to R.R.3, Goderich where they have been
farming ever since.
Mrs Howes' mother, Mrs. M. C. Mackenzie, was a
correspondent for the paper through the 1920's, covering
the same area.
Besides being a correspondent, Mrs: Howe is also a
mother and grandmother. She has a son Colin, who is
married with two sons and,two daughters, and a daughter --
Mrs. Ronald Oke, with one son *and twin daughters. The
grandchildren range tliri age from °21 to four, years old'.
Some of the' worthwhile news our correspondent in
Ashfield has related to us in•the past, IS:
In 1938 the Union of Ashfield Presbyterian Church with
Knox Church in Ripley;
The death: of Dr. A. Simpson in 19401eft Kintafl without a
doctor:
F
The 1945 drama when Flight, Lieutenant Donald MacKay
was reported missing and later known to be prisoner of
war;
- The community honouring the war veterans at
Kingsbridge Royal Canadian Hall and presenting each with
a wrist watch in 1946;
In 1953, the little one -roomed schoolhouse, `S.S; No. 3,
Kintail„closing to be later purchased • by the. Women's
lnstithte; . '
Inh� mid -sixties, the purchase of Kintail store `by Wm.
Van Osch ending the ownership by Neil and Wm.. Macdonald
of some fifty years.
It will be difficult to fihd someone to fill Lilian Howes'
shoes, She was a valuable correspondent to the Signal -Star,
covering happenings in the Ashfield area. Regret at losing
her is softened by the hope that he retirement gives her
more .time to do ,,things she ways ,too busy to do before.
