13 /July 2023 The South Marysburgh Mirror Roots and Wings St. Philip’s Anglican Church -By Elizabeth Hill We are very excited to introduce you to Phyllis Walk- er, the soon to be newest South Marysburgh centenari- an! Phyllis started her life as a Pounder, born in Thomas- burg, Ontario, on July 8, 1923. Phyllis’ family had moved to South Marysburgh and the Milford area, with her father David Pounder being a cheesemaker on Roy- al Road, who also opened Pounder’s General Store in 1930. The store was located in what is now known as Mil- ford Bistro. Phyllis married Donald Walker in 1943 and became an active and beloved member of the Walker family. Phyllis and Donald had three children; Glendon, Donna Faye, and Anna Lynn, all who grew up in South Marysburgh, and Glendon and Donna Faye con- tinue to reside here. Phyllis trained as a bookkeeper at the Ontario Business College in Belleville. She was bookkeeper for Millerdale Farm, Cherry Valley Canners, Walker’s Greenhouse, and Walker’s Gar- age, all family businesses, until 2006. Phyllis prepared the Walker’s books all by hand — an art that is now truly lost! Phyl- lis, Donald and the family were active members of St. Philip’s Anglican Church in Milford, where Phyllis enjoyed to wor- ship and was active with the ACW (Anglican Church Wom- en).

Phyllis lived in the farm- house across from Walker’s Garage on County Road 17 until 2012, when she moved to Hallowell House in Pic- ton, after a nasty fall that resulted in decreased mobil- ity. Phyllis has told Glendon that Hallowell House is a great place to live; she likes the food, and the staff is wonderful to her! A “small” celebration (about 30 im- mediate family) is planned for Phyllis’ big day — so on Saturday, July 8, 2023, please raise a glass and send best wishes Phyllis’ way! We are hoping you will Save The Date for the St. Philip’s, Milford, Pork & Corn Roast! This has been an annual Milford event since 2003 (well, except 2020 — you know why!), and in 2021 we transitioned from a sit-down meal to pick-up. This was such a great success that we will continue this style again this year. However, if you would like to eat your meal on the church lawn, we will be putting out tables. Please, do bring your own cutlery and drinks. The date for the Pork & Corn Roast is Wednesday, August 9", with pick-up times be- tween 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The pork is being cooked by Harley Guernsey and his helpers, and the dinner is served with new potatoes, corn on the cob, salads, a roll and a slice of pie. We are also hoping that County-grown tomatoes will be available, too! To reserve your dinners please call (613) 476-6065 or or 613-476-1118 and let us know how many meals you’d like and your preferred pick- up time. Need more infor- mation? Go to our website stphilipschurch.ca. We look forward to seeing you on August 9th!
