Harold Vodden
Harold T. Vodden, 76. of Blyth, died in
Clinton Public Hospital on January 24.
He is survived by his wife, the former
Myrtle Turvey, a son and daughter-in-law
Brock and Janis of Toronto, and six grand-
children; one sister, Mrs. Mae Lake, of At-
wood, and one brother, Lorne, of Hamilton.
He was predeceased by one brother, Bert, of
London and one sister Leila Cochrane of
Ethel. His parents were Thomas Vodden
and Annie Elizabeth Brockest of Ethel.
Mr. Vodden was a businessman in Blyth
for many years. From 1937 to 1953, he owned
and operated Vodden's Bakery. From 1953
to 1965 he operated a television, appliance,
and hardware business. He was a member
of the volunteer fire brigade in Blyth and
served several terms on the village Council
during the 1940s. •
In December 1965, he lost his sight. Blind-
ness launched him into a new career in
handcrafts, which he continued until shortly
before his death. He had two Leader Dogs
which enabled him to travel about the
village independently for many years.
Mr. Vodden was a member and
P.D.D.G.M. of the Blyth Masonic Lodge, a
lyth businessman dies
home surroundings we will miss. Visits at
the Vodden's were always something
special Harold with his sense of humour
telling jokes, recalling incidents with that
knowing smile of his, while entertaining
drop-in friends. Myrtle always bright and
busy serving tea and what there was on
hand. Ebony relaxed on floor near table lap-
ping up all compliments extended. Friends
left the Vodden home with spirits lifted up.
We will miss the Three of them.
Each of this team of Three had duties with
meaningful objectives to perform. Harold
caning chairs, his work in great demand.
Myrtle keeping house and records. Ebony
conscious of her Master's every need, doing
well what was required.
This team of thr-- xists no more. Harold
will be missed by u le, Ebony and us all.
Love, Patience and Courage helped to
dissipate Harold's adversities as did his
precious sense of humour. It acted as a
cushion giving comfort not only for himself
but for the hundreds of others that had the
good fortune to know and talk with him.
We will miss this One.
