On Sunday last, Miss Jane
Masse, of Windsor, a grand-
daughter of the Ducharmes,
and Mr. William Borre, also of
Windsor, paid a visit to yours
truly and Mrs. Ducharme, Their
call was short but much en-
joyed.
Mrs. Adeline Denomme, of
this highway, left her place of
residence on Friday last to
spend the holidays in London
with some of her children.
Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Ducharme,
of Dashwood, were Sunday last
visitors with Mr. and Mrs. F.
Ducharme, the former's par-
ents.
After much cloudy weather,
with the occasional shower the
past two weeks, on Sunday last
we were greeted with a light
Vanier Institute for the Family. (Continued from last week)
Pamphlets are ready and at any
one's disposal, explaining the
reasons for the founding and
the objectives of this organiz-
ation.
Mrs. Joe Regier once again is
the organizer of candy bags for
all the school children as a
Christmas treat.
A letter of thanks from the
Sisters of Service was received,
showing appreciation for the
parcels of used clothing.
With Christmas approaching
Monsigner Bourdeau used this
topic for thought, "manner of
presents is much more elabor-
ate than years ago, but the
main theme of the Christ Child
remains unchanged".
Monsignor also explained the
new catechism being used by
the children. It is a big change
from the question and answer
type of book which has been in
use many years and it is hoped
the new way will force children
and parents to think out the
answers rather than have them
so prepared for them to the
last letter,
Cheques were prepared as
Christmas presents for Monsig-
nor and the Sisters. The meet-
ing was closed with prayers,
and a social hour followed.
This included the exchange of
gifts between the ladies, and
lunch was served.
We have told you when leav-
ing the head of the lake on a
November day, the month of
high winds, we were sailing on
rough water. As I told you in
my last epilogue, the captain
had ordered all passengers to
lie face down on bottom deck
and not move. This we .all did,
but regardless many were sea-
sick and little could be given
them as a remedy.
It was almost 20 hours be-
fore we reached Saginaw Bay,
that all those who sail on Lake
Huron expect rough going and
is known to sea -travelling peo-
ple as the sailors' graveyard.
After we had crossed the bay
and perhaps the high winds
had passed on, we were again
on still water to Port Huron.
The bay is quite wide and we
were glad to be over it. The
wind had then lowered and the
water calmed so that all pas-
sengers had fully recovered
from their ordeal.
We reached Port Huron
about 2 o'clock Monday morn-
ing, Here, I had to have the
remains of my pal transferred
to the train station and it took
some time for me to pull my-
self together to ask for infor-
mation for our next move.
Finally an officer came to nae,
and perhaps seeing my actions

journey, took charge of the
casket. My friend, Frank Den-
omme, and my pal's father had
come to the lumber camp . and
returned with us. I was glad
of the help given me.
It being the early part of
Monday morning, we boarded
the train for Parkhill, I had
received the necessary crossing
papers. About 5 o'clock in the
morning, we arrived in Park-
hill, Frank Denomme and I
helped the trainmen with the
coffin, placing it on the station
platform. My pal's father stood
guard while we walked uptown
to a livery barn, tapping on the
window and in seconds a voice
answered. The door was thrown
open and I made arrangements
to be taken to St. Joseph.
Before the driver had his
horses fitted up and himself, it
was nearing seven o'clock when
we left. The vehicle was a
double carriage with a black
train hooked to it. We placed
the father in the front seat
with the driver, well covered
up, while Frank and I sat on
the coffin with no cover. It
was a chilly morning, so when
we were cold we would jump
off and run alongside and in
no time we would be warm. We
did several times times before
we reached the deceased's home
where the hardest trial was to
meet the mourning family.
We arrived in St. Joseph
about nine o'clock, where a
few friends had gathere at the
home awaiting us and the body,
also to offer their sympathy to
the bereaved ones in their little
log home.
The following morning the
remains were taken to the par-
ish church for service thence
to the adjoining cemetery for
burial. This completed the
young man's career. The part-
ing of my pal and the shock
changed my way of living.
There was not too much for me
to enjoy, at least during those
trying days to follow. I was
now more inclined to settle
down to a quiet life. I must
say, I have never regretted the
years I spent on the road going
from one place to another and
always meeting and making

friend had remained, I would
have 'e o v e r e d more ground,
What it did to me was instruc-
tive and I add with certainty
there was nothing disgraceful
about it, as perhaps some would
imagine, I am glad that I am
able to respond to those who
had asked me to rewrite the
cold death of my pal. I am
glad that I can bring back some
of the facts as they happened
65 years ago. I clo not pretend
to say that this write-up covers
all that happened in this inci-
dent, however, you will agree
with me that it is almost im-
possible to bring together the
full nature and movement of
what happened that fatal Fri-
day of November 9, 1900, I
am grateful to the Zurich Citi-
zens News for accepting this
article and putting it in print,
however, I feel that I should
ask an apology to the editor
and publisher for taking so
space in their paper: thanks!
