The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-08-10, Page 8PAGE8---GOPERKGi3SIGNAt1STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1963 Kingsbridge's oldest resident marks birthda; Frank Sullivan, Kingsbridge's oldest resident, celebrated his 95th birthday on July 25. The name Sullivan used to be the most common name in the Kingsbridge community but Frank is now -the only Sullivan living there. He is the last surviving member of a family of eight children. The others were his brothers, Thomas, Patrick and John and sisters, Mary, Catherine (Kit)Phalen, Annie Vogt and Elizabeth (E.) Ribar. The Sullivans represented some of the area's first settlers when Frank's great- grandfather reatgrandfather Jeremiah, Jeremiah's son Tom, Tom's wife Mary Reynolds and their two children left Kerry County, Ireland ,for Syracuse, New York and later moved to Kingsbridge. Frank was born in 1 to John E. and Catherine (Finn I Sullivan on the same farm where he lives today with his ne;)'l ew Jerry Vogt and Jerry's wife Stephanie in a house next door to Sullivan's restaurant which they run. The old house where be grew up is gone. With the exception of a few winters' stay at Marian Villa, a senior citizens' home in London and some short stints working at manual labor in Detroit, Mr. Sullivan has lived all his life in Kingsbridge, retiring some time ago as a farmer like his father before him. He enjoys good health and an excellent memory for names and places. In 1980, he was im- mensely helpful in supplying the details of Kingsbridge's history written for the 75th anniversary celebrations of the opening of the present church there. Mr. Sullivan loves to read and his favorite subjects are geography and history. He likes to travel around the area discovering new places whenever the opportunity arises. On his birthday, he travelled to Owen Sound for the day with his grandniece. He's not sure what he owes his longevity to but others will tell you that he. gets lots of exercise because he loves to walk ("there were no cars when I was younger" 'he says) and he eats regular, healthy meals, some of which he cooks for himself. He suffered a broken hip only a few years ago but today he is as spry as ever and always on the move_ On his birthday, he received many cards and a plaque from Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston on behalf of the province. Last Wednesday, a special mass was held for him at St. Joseph's Church (of which he is a member) by the Kingsbridge Area Seniors (of which he is an honorary member). After the mass, he confidently told Father Ed Dentinger, "I'm going to see 100." And there seems no reason to doubt that statement.

Chief cooker of the 144 pound pig was Ray Brown of the second concession of Ashfield Township. It took 10 hours to cook the pig and the aroma was .around the village for some time before the official 8 p.m. eating time. As 2 a.m. rolled around, there was nothing left of the pig. It was a beautiful night for the occasion as some 120 neighbours gathered in the Haskell back yard to listen to the music, to enjoy good fellowship and partake of bountiful helpings of freshly cooked pork. Home Sold One of the village's older homes went under the auc- tioneer's hammer Friday night at 8 p.m. The home is located on Arthur Street, which is that busy street that leads from the downtown area to the lake. In 1902 it was a deserted home on the second concession of Ashfield Township. In 1912, it became the Hoy property and remained in the Hoy name until sold. Many neighbours showed an in- terest in the home, however bidding was slow. Auc- tioneer Richard Lobb in- creased interest in the house and finally realized a price of $20,200.
