TALENTED PIANIST ings are being held, consulted, carpenters and decora-| tors pressed into service for the opening of the old Henry House curators | ly unperturbed Mrs, Fred Ellis her 93rd birthday yesterday, was born and spent her girlhood in the Henry House. In her beautiful house Centre street, built over years ago, she was at home yes- terday afternoon to members of her family and close friends of long standing.

ABIDING SPIRIT The portrait of the Reverend Thomas Henry, Christian minis- ter, York Pioneer and soldier of 1812, grandfather of Mrs. Ellis, gazed on the pleasant scene. Lines written by his daughter- inlaw, Mrs. P. H. Henry in 1880, on re-visiting Elder Henry's home after his death were equal- ly applicable yesterday. "But among the well-known throng, None seemed so bright, stayed so long, As the dear benignant face, | That with patriarchal grace | Smiled upon the homelike | scene; Welcoming with cordial mien All the loved ones gathered | here." Time has spun a web. around | the vivid memories of Mrs. Ellis girlhood. She was the daughter born to Albert Henry and his wife, Harriet Trevittick Guy, a gentle soul who succumb- ed to the hardship of pioneer life at the tender age of 23.
