even a dip in the lake provided

The hot weather and lack of
rain have resulted in water short-

wells have dried up. A number of
farmers have found It necessary
to haul water from the nearest

and; a very enjoyable afternoon

The Stephenson families held
their twentieth annual reunion at
the Lions Park, Seaforth. on Sat-
urday afternoon with 86 present:
including members from Pilot
Mound, Man., Marlette and Detroit,
I3't li ; `gingham, .Wroxeter., Cltn-
S.
Stai ey: The e'eat eii r was ideal
and a very pleasant social time
was spent.. A bountiful mea. was
served, after which the president,
Ralph Stephenson, called on a.num-
ber of those present to give short
talks.
An interesting article was read
from an old Huron Exposito.° dat-
ed June 14, 1878, giving an account
of the passing of Ralph Stephen-
son, Sr.. who with his wife and
family came to Goshen Line, Stan-
ley,
tanley, 100 years ago. They were na-
tives, of Yorkshire, England, but
had spent some years at Port Hope
before coming to Stanley. T"ey had
a family of seven sons and three
daughters; David, John, George,
Ralph, William, Thomas anrl Rob-
ert; Jane (Mrs. Isaac Medcalf),
Alice (Mrs, Win. Elliott),. and Sus-
anna (Mrs. Robt. Drysd'ale). All
the members of this family, with
the exception of George, w!io went
to B,C., remained' in this commun-
ity for a number of years and
raised families, some of whom to-
day are the older members of the
Stephenson clan.
The Expositor story of 70 years
ago said: "Mr. Robert Stephenson,
of the Goshen Line, Stanley, died
at his residence on Monday of last
week, after a few days illness, at
the ripe age of 75 years. Mr. Steph-j
enson was one of the oldest resi-
dents of the township, having liv- ;
ed here for about 30 years. He was
a man of rare social and good in-
te!lectt:al qualities and few men
enjoyed more fully the respect and)
esteem of their fellows than he.
He was.a native of Yorkshire, Eng-
land, and wee a hale, hearty man,
who was scarcely ever known to
complain of illness. He served for
many years in the municipal coun-
cil and was generally foremost in
every good and laudable work, He
leaves a widow and a numerous
family. His family are all grown
up and are prosperous in life. His
funeral was attended by upwards
of 200 vehicles. He will long be
held in affectionate remembrance
by all who knew him."
In recalling this pioneer
family, it can easily be im'
early days. Those at the reunion
agined the part played by them in
the clearing of the forest. Being
big men physically, they did their
full share in chopping and logging
and In cradling the grain in those
early days." Those at the reunion
recalled that those who followed
have reaped the result of their
pioneer labors and acknowledged
their debt of gratitude to them.
In reconciling the present with
the past, it was pointed out that
the president, Ralph Stephenson,
is the connecting link. In his 87th
year, he is the oldest member of
the Stephensons and his memory
goes back to the passing of his
grandfather, Ralph Stephenson, in
1878. All these years Mr. Steph-
enson has resided) in Stanley, tak
Ing a deep interest in the advance-
ment of every • good and worthy
Cause, Besides his fat;ey. he has
