WOLF STORIES
Wolves may be ,harmless, as some
modern people claim, but the pioneer
settlers of .Huron did .not think so.
Mr. John Murray of Egmondville
when discussing the bear and ground-
hog theory on February 2nd, got
reminiscing about the wolves in
Tuckersmith when his father firs:
settled there as a young lad, son e:
pioneer parents.
:Mr. Murray's father often told
them about fishing in the river at
Egmondville when a deer crashed
from the trees on the other side,
waded the river and bounded off into
the bush. A moment later wolves ap-
peared on the opposite bank but did
not cross. The lad ran to the house
and told his father who examined the
animals' tracks on the river bank, and
decided that his son owed his safety
to the fact that wolves seldom cross-
ed water.
Another experience Inc father used
to tell about was when he went with
a yoke of oxen to the beaver swamp
a few miles east of the Xippen road,
for pieces of pine. Hearing the bawl-
ing of approaching wolves :Ole start-
ed the oxen and ran them hard for
home, expecting his dog to follow.
Next day he returned to the swamp
and found a few hairs—all that was
left of the dog.
And another time a youngster
spent half the night in a beech tree
when surrounded by wolves. His par-
ents were away and his sisters in the
house were frantic with fear until he
called to then he was safe and in-
tended to remain in the tree until the
wolves went away.
Seems as if anyone would have
had a task convincing the early set -
tiers that wolves were harmless.
YOUNG 'PEO'PLE'S SOCIETY
The meeting of the Young Peop'le's
Sweetest rest has followed pain;
God loved her 100 and thought it best
To take her home with Him to rest.
Society of the North Side United
Church was held Tuesday evening,
Feb, 6 with -Miss Helen Britton in
,charge. The meeting opened in the
usual way by a sing -song, followed by
the L'ord's prayer repeated in unison,
'After
r sine iu
hymn 245,Mi
g Yss Helen
t
Britton led in prayer. Scripture read-
ing was taken by Miss Edith Hoag.
A verve.pleasing solo, "The Old Rug-
ged Cross," was sung by afe, Sam
Scott
w^hint
was much enjoyed. The
topic "Christian Growth," was ably
taken by Miss Helen Britton and
proved very interesting, A discussion
of the topic was taken by Mrs. Keith
Webster. After singing hymn 24iri the
meeting closed with repeating the
Mizpah, benediction.
IIn the passing of Mary Ann Dale,
wido • ofthe late Thomas Carter,
widow T a rte ,
i
which occurred on Wednesday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. H. Jen-
kins, Clinton, at the advanced age of
90 years, Huron county loses one of
its oldest citizens, The now deceased
Mrs. Carter was born in Yorkshire,
England, in March, 11644. Her par-
ents were the late Christopher Dale
and his wife, Harriet Richards. When
but six years of age she came with her
parents to Canada, They came direct
to the Huron tract and later settled on
the first concession of Hu'llett town-
ship and front that time lived contin-
uously in this community. In June,
1669, she became the wife al Thomas
Carter, who predeceased her by al-
most Forty years. For the past twenty
five years she made her home in Clin-
ton, but for the past two years site
has been with her daughter, Mrs.
Jenkins, Failing eyesight and the in-
firmities of age rendered it inexped-
ient for her to remain alone in her
home, After her marriage to Mr. Car-
ter, they farmed in the township of
Tuokersmith until his death, an the
farm now occupied by their son, Nor-
man Carter. In her younger days she
was active in church and Sunday
'School work in the Alma, Methodist
Church and since coming to Clinton
was a member of the former Wesley
congregation and later Wesley -Willis
United Church. She is survived by one
brother, George Dale, of Goderieh
township, three daughters, Mrs, John
Jamieson, Hallett; Mrs. Harvey Jen-
kins, Go'derich township; Mrs, Will
Jamieson, M•clKillop, and one son,
Norman Carter, on the old homestead.
Five grandchildren and three great
grand children survive. The funeral
was held on Friday afternoon from
the home of Harvey Jenkins. Service
was .conducted by Rev. C. W. DeWitt
Cosens, assisted by Rev. A, A.
Holmes, a former pastor. I.nternten't
was made in Clinton cemetery, The
pallbearers were nephews of the de-
ceased, Stanley and Derwin Carter,
John Nott, Thomas, John and fames
Dale. Beautiful floral tributes were
sent from the family and friends and
1Gi,rls' Club and Women's Association
of WesleyIWillis Church.
The one we loved has gone to rest,
Her fond true heart is still;
The hand that always helped us,
Now lies in deaths cold ,ohill.
Calm and peaceful she is sleeping,
