THE FLESHERTON ADV^ANCE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1933 > - â-  ♦ â-  '* % \ , â- * , * V "Memories" By A. S. THURSTON Association Picnic Is Next Civic Holiday R. H. Henderson (Dr. Bub)â€" Waf the youngest son of Robt. Henderson, born in an Artemesia log cabin, ten logs high, with fireplace, tallow- candles and the whole bag of tricks with only a few scattered neighbors in the township. He was born on April 1st, 1860, and lost his father m a result of a barn-raising a^ident the following year. The widow cour- ageor^ly reiolved to stay on the farm and keep the family of eight children together â€" and lived through years of privation and sacrifice to finally see them all happily married. Forty odd years later, she passed away in 1906, was carried by six stalwart sons to the last resting- place, beside her husband in Mount Zion burying ground. Bob remained at the old homestead for his first 16 years, receiving a primary education, and working on practically every farm in the neigh- borhood. His first real money was earned by gleaning grass seed from the fence corners and around the stumps, threshing it by hand, and saving the precious seeds. With this money he purchased a fine pair of long boots, copper toes and all, from the lota Robert Trimble, who gave a special bargain- on learning how the money was earned. Next summei he bought a beautiful brown velvet coat -with cap to match, paying for it he same way. For two years he drove the 5-team horsepower for Silas Phillips, threshing, with Charlie Handy (colored) as a running-mate Charlie Handy was colored, but a "white man." At 16 he passed his entrance, and was urged by his teacher, Miss Kate Gandin (now Mrs. W. H.. Thurston, wife of The Advance man) to con- tinue his studies, and in 1879 quali- fied as a teacher, serving in Mulmui and Tossoronto Twp., among his pupils being Arthur, Robert -J. and Wm. E. Murphy, all of whom became eminent Anglican clergymen. Arthur is the husband of Mrs. "Janey Canuck," eminent -writer and judge in the Juvenile Court at E.l.-.-.onton. For t-wo years he was with the Dominion Bank, then joined the C.P. R. and was cashier at Owen Sound in 1885, later taking up life insur- ance work with the Travellers' In- surance Co., where he became super- intendent of agencies for Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia. 1893 he commenced the study of dentistry in his brother's office, and graduated with honors from the Royal College of Dental Surgeons in 1896. The Dr. is also an honor graduate of Toronto University, as well as a first class honor graduate of Trinity University. He began practice in Toronto, and after taking a special course in Exodontia, for the past 20 years he has specialized in the extraction of teeth only, with offices in the Kent Building. He has two sons. Ivan and Eric. In sports he is interested in lawn bowling, and played lacrosse for 16 years. He thinks box lacrosse the fastest, most -scientific, cleanest and most, interesting game. He has no political aspirations: loves the old things; regrets "wasted time, the un- kind word, and the loss of a friend." Favorite motto: "-•X.n honest man's the noblest work of God." Prominent Citizen Died Thursday Last Don t Want Fat Hogs It is particularly difficult in these days of lots of feed and low prices to get farmers to realiae that the market does not want a fat hog, at least not a hog of the fatted,type, so popular a decade or so ago. The hog that takes the premium today is the stleot bacon type, which is, comparatively speaking, a lean hog weighing 180 to 220 pounds off cars at stock yards. Such hogs have a jowl and shouldei light and smooth, a back from neck to tail evenly fleshed, a side long dropping straight from the back, a belly showing thickness of fleshing, a flank well '.»t down and firm, a ham full, and, a good general finish with no excess fat. The best way to understand the type of hog that gets the dollar pre- mium is to visit a stockyard or ab- attoir or grading station where hog jrrading is being done and see foi yourself fche type of hog that nets the dollar premium for he producer. At a well attended meeting of the Executive of the Old Boys' and Girls Association held in Toronto Thursday evening of last week, a communica- tion was received from Mr. W. A. Hawken, Secretary of the Flesherton "Old Home Week" Committee, er- tending an invitation to the Associa- tion in Toronto to hold their annual picnic in Flesherton on Civic Holiday in 1934. It was also requested that three members of the Toronto Executive be appointed to act in conjunction with the Flesherton Trustees of the funds remaining on hand from "Old Home Week" in 1929. Both of these invitations were ac- cepted and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the Flesherton Com- mittee for their courtesy in this connection. Mr. Burton E. Field Secretary oi the Toronto Committee in a letter to The Advance, stated that it was also highly pleasing ti- the officers assembled to have the attendance of Messrs. 'Geo. McTavish C. N. Richardson and Dr. E. C. Mur ray, representing the Fle.iherton committee. Mr. Field also said that "It is most heartening to the mem- bers of this Association to feel that they have the hearty co-operation oi the residents of the good old honi'. town behind us in our efforts to pro- mote our semi-annual get-togethers.' It was also decided to hold the annual winter "At Home" in the Root Garden at the Royal York Hotel on Friday evening, December 8th, 193;1 with the hope that this date will bt more suitable from a climatic stand- point for the originals from Flesher- ton, enabling them to attend without fear of being snowed in before they can return. A^Thile arrangaments have not yet been completed as to the orchestra, etc., -we can assure yOu that a capable committee will see that nothing 1:= left undone to make this a most enjoyable evening for everybody. Flesherton residents are therefore requested to keep this date open and join with us, Mr. Field states, in so fat as possible in making it a huge sul- cess. Mr. Field w^ill consider it a favor if the names and addresses ot any Flesherton ex-residents, now res- ident in Toronto or vicinity, who ma? not be receiving invitations, be for- warded to him at 53 Yonge St., lo- ronto, and tkis oversight will be re- in "l medied. People frequently move and fail to furnish their new address acd invitations are often retunied to us for that reason. Messrs. C. E. McTavish, W. X. ixemphill and W. H. Fenwick wer° appointed Trustees on behalf of the Toronto .Association in administering the funds on hand in Flesherton. wi:;h the proviso that in the event of Mr. C. E. McTavish declining to act loi any reason that Dr. F. .W. Muiray become the third trustee. The Executive is arranging for a gathering of themselves with theit wives and husbands to take place at a date in January or February, at tht recreation rooms of the City Dairy Co.. Spadina Crescent. Toronto (at 1 their own expense of course), the | purpose being to make for a more frequent association of the members, v.-hich should be good for the .-^.ssocia- tion as a whole. Mrs. -A. Houden 1 Mrs. Leonard Brown and Mrs. \V. | Brereton were appointed a con.miltee to complete the arrangements foi j this affair, at which a collection will be taken up for charitable puvposis this be'ng a proviso on the part of the City Dairy Co.. Ltd... which fu> rtishes the room free of charge foi such occasions. In concluding, Mr. Field statoii that ', he would like to call the attention ot I those members and supporters in To ronto who have overlooked sendint- in their membersliip fees, that Dr. F \V. Murray. 220 Carlton St., will be •clad to receive renewals of member- ship at an early date. I might point out," Mr. Field says, "that thi-s i; the only source of revenue we car \6ok to for funds to carry on the work of the .-Ks-sociation. as our '.\t Home', which is the only affair for which a charge is made, is not intend- ed for revenue purposes, but rathe; to make it possible for us all to got together in Toronto in the spiri- o; good-will and friendliness and fot the everlasting good of one and all." .A^ter an illness which he had suff- ered for the- past three years and which became acute three weeks ago, John N'uhn St., retired woollen ware manufacturer of Flesherton, passed quietly away at his home in town on Thursday of last week at the age of 70 years. Deceased was widely known throughout Grey county and during his residence of 39 years in Flesherton held the confidence and esteem of all the residents. He was of a quiet disposition, but served his village as councillor for a couple of sessions shortly after it was incorp- orated in 1912. The late Mr. Xuhn was born in Hottenbach, Germany, 70 years ago and came with his parents to Can- ada at the age of six. They first settled near Kitchener, later taking up farming in B>fentinck to-wnship. Grey County. His early years were spent in that locality when he learned the trade of stone mason. He came to Flesherton in 1894, when he pur- chased the local woollen mill from the Flesherton estate, and continued its operation from that time until two years ago, when he turned the business over to his son, John Jr. Mr. Xuhn built his business well and his products became well icno-wn through- out Ontario. The late Mr. Xuhn -was twice mar- ried, first to Mrs. JIary Stock of Artemesia, who passed away foui years ago, and then to Mrs. Eliza beth Ward of Flesherton, one year ago last August. Besides his widow he leaves one son, John Jr., of Flesh- erton, and one daughter, Mary, (Mrs. Howard Milligan) of Drayton. He also leaves one brother, Jacob, and a sister, Mrs. Schults, both of Elm- wood. He -was an adherent of the Baptist church. The funeral took place on Satur- day, October 7th, when a large num- ber of friends gathered to pay theii last respects to a citizen, who was respected and highly regarded by all. Service -was held in the Baptist church with his pastor, Rev. J. R. Wolsten- croft, preaching the sermon, assistenl by Rev. W. J. Scott of St. John's United church. Miss Jean Wolsten- croft "sang sweetly "Some Day the Silver Cord will Break." Interment took place in Flesherton cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. Wm., .-Albert and Chas. Stewart, E. Tremp, John Boyd of Owen Sound and Thos. Lever, all close friends of the de- ceased. .Amoni? a beautiful boTrer of floral offerings was a pillow from the Flesherton business men and sprays from the woollen mill staff and the, L.O.B.A.. besides those from the fam- ily and friends. .-Among those who attended the fun- eral from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. H. Lawrence of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Schell of Owen Sound, Mr. and -Mrs. .Albert Fawcett of Mark- dale, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lettau and family of Chesley, sister and brother of Elmwood. and families, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Xuhn. Mr. and Mrs. Davf Xuhn. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Xuhn oi WilHamsford, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. >ic- Ben White Dies At Home In Artemesia .After only a week's illness Mr. Thomas Benjamin White, a highly respected resident of the West Back- line, Artemesia, passed away at his home early Tuesday morning at the age of 65 years and 7 months, death being caused at the last from pneu- monia, following summer flu. He was bom on February '29th, 1868, and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs John White, pioneers of .Artemesia township. He was married to Mis.^ Jessie Speers of .Artemesia, whr survives him, together with one son. Allan, at home. Three brothers also survive him, namely James and Ezra of Markdale and Edward of California. The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon with service at his late home at 2.30 p.m., with in- terment taking place in Markdale cemetery. The Orphan Who Failed About two months ago a wealthy couple in the United States saw a photograph of an orphanage boy who looked so like their son who had been drowned that they adopted him. H* was to stay vith them for some time to see if he could be "made over" to resemble their own boy ,and if he suited he would become a member of the family, heir to a luxurious home and great wealth. But when the time of probation expired they sent him back to the orphanage. He was rude and over-bearing, and showtid no sign of becoming the kind of boy they could laviah their love and at- tention upon. This lad had a won- derful chance, one that reads like a story rather than a romance of life. It is deplorable to learn that he so completely failed to measure up to it. Is it due to the rudeness which seems so general among youni? P'.'cple. Is it a case of setting a beggar on horseback? Or is it just that you cannot make a silk purse Dut of a sow's ear? â€" Exchange. â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED? Live Stock Market Cattle prices held steady with last | week's close, in dull trading Tuesday. .
