Satur- day, July 9th, of Augustine Thomas Kidd, son of the late 'Thomas Kidd -of Seaforth and New. York City. The deceased left Seaforth about thirty- fiveyears ago. There were two brothers' and three sisters in the family. He was born here and at- tended Seaforth schools. Th e i r father, the late Thomas Kidd, built the ,Sills block, where he conducted a general store, and he also built the Targe brick residence behind the store on the corner of Market and High ,Streets, and thehouse beside, it where he lived. Mr. Frank Sills recently found several old paper store bags in the basement with the name "Tho's Kidd" printed on them. As they had been 'manufactured by a firm in. Merritton, Ont., Mr. Sills sent one of the bags to the company which is still in business. He received in re- ply a letter of thanks from the firm, stating they believed the bag had -been made in the 1870's. They had shown it to a former employee who said he could remember the days when they made these old- fashioned bags. -Thomas Kidd was in business here until the turn of the century.
