Armstrong & Son JEWELLERS Was An Old . Resident Of Artemesia And Respected By Everyone With regret we learned this week of the death of John Gerow, which took place in the General Hospital at Vancouver on February 25th, an old piopeer of these parts, who will be remembered no doubt only by those who remain among the earlier settlers of the gravel road and theret- abouts. Mr. Gerow, who had passed his 88th birthday, had been hale and hearty when last visiting £ug«nia two years ago. He went at that time to visit his daughter, fhtf only remaining member of his family, who lives at Bowen Island, Vancouva(r. Mr. Gerow married Miss Mary Ann Munshaw, who pn.deceased him 7 years ago, sister of the late Aaron Munshaw of Flesherton, and he and his wife spent their early married life in pioneer work and building up of these parts, and shared, Uke many others have, the hardships of those early pioneer days of which Mr. Gerow loved to tell and could relate the different incidents of interest with gerat intelligence and in a most int- eitjsting manner, ever givig others credit for the brave work which he had no small share in. Mr. Gerow was a great reader and could discuss not only the things of present interest but would launch out on the more important subject of the Great Be- yond and gave one many thoughts to feed upon and study. In speaking of the pioneer work a bit of which was carried out by Mr. Gerow and his brother in the village here, was the building of the first dam on the old mill Beserve at where Carr's mill stood in more recent years. This dam was built 69 years ago and was as solid as the day it was put in when Mr. GeroiT last visited Eugenia. Mr.. Gerow was for years a member of the High Falls Hunt' Club "- •â-  â€" •-' - â€"^â- - " " ' MARKDALE TALENT MUCH APPRECIATED Gave Fine Concert In The Church At Eugenia Tb3 play given in the church on the 12th inat. by the Markdale Dramatic Club was one of the best amateur plays seen in these parts. It would be hard to say which character was the best as each one gave his or her part in msot creditable style. Markdale was always noted for its ability along thes/3 hnes and much credit is due them. We hope to have the club play for xia again during the course of the summer. Possibly an arrangement cap be made for the night of the big picnic in June. Largs Bros.' orchestra was very liberal with their music and the committee wish to thank them through the press, as this was overlooked the evening of the play. AltogethiH' the evening's entertainment was much enjoyed by all present. Owing to the condition of the roads there weuj many disap- pointed in not being able to be nre- sent. After the play the committee entertained the club and orcbastra to lunch, when a jolly hour was spent. PROTON STATION Many Logs At Graham's Is Like The Old Times Mr. Card Graham has quite a nice stock of logs in the mill yard this spring, which will keep him busy for some tinTC. The sound of the saw reminds one of bye-gone days when the little village of Eugenia was a vettT busy little hamlet with its busy mills and good times for everyone. Mr. S. Batfheler /ipened the mot- oring season in this village. He had his Star out to-day, March 23. We are sorry to renort that Mrs. James Meddaugh suffered a slight paralytic stroke in the laft side early Sunday morning. Since then she has recovered somev.-hat but is still very ill. Her sisters, Mrs. Hipks of Tara and Mrs. Meddaugh of Dnn- dalk, are with her. Mrs. John Roome was calliad to Toronto to the bedside of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Guest, who was seriously ill with blood poisoning. We under- stand that Mrs. Guest's condition is slightly improved ^t present. Her many friends here "are very sorry to learn of her illness.
