T T T t t t t t T T t t T T Celebrated Her . 80th Birthday The following interesting dviicrip- tion of pioneer life in this county will be of i)eculiar interest to re.sidents of the New England district in Eui)h- la.sia, and appeared in the Owen Sound paper on Monday. A child in one of the pioneer homes of Grey County, Mrs, James Sewell, who now makes her home with a daughter at Mount Dennis, recently celebrated her 80th birthday. She was born ill King townshij) in York county near Toronto, in 1857, but when she was two yeais of ajje her parents moved to Euphrasia township. The township was alnio-ft solid virgin forest at the time with scattered settlers' clearings. Her father died suddenly soon after and later her mother married Richard Stowell. During the six days of the week Mr Stowell devoted to clearing the land with the patient oxen and on the Sabbath he held services in the log shanties of the pioneers. Besides the spiritual benefit of the early services, the Sunday metings were the only social assemblies of the first settlers. Following the service mail would be distributed by whoever had been able to visit the neighboring village or town. Births and marriages would be ergistered. Euphrasia was the third township in the county to be surveyed. This was accomplished between 1835 and J 840, but it was nearly 20 years later before much land was cleared. Mrs. Sewell recalls clearly Mr. Rob- ert Dunlop, who also assisted in hold- ing community services. Mr. Dunlop was for 30 years clerk of the town- ship. In those early days Indians in their bark wigwams lived in Euph- rasia. They were very friendly and the white children delighted in visit- ing their camps and exploring their simple homos. The fire which heated the wigwam burned in a pit in the centre and over its embers the Indian women cooked the food with a few iron pots. Before the advent of a grist mill the Euphrasia settlers had to convey their grain long distances, usually to Mea- ford, by ox team and thence by boat to Cape Rich, where a man named Carson operated a mill. The barter system was in use exclusively and for payment for grinding the wheat, usu- ally one-fifth of the weight was charged. The early mills used the stone grinding system and the product was coarse. If smut was prevalent the flour would be dark, resembling '.stove polish, but it was consumed by the settlers and their families. It was in the early 60's that Messrs. Purdy and Walling erected the first flour mill, using the power of the Heaver river. The first saw mill was built at the same time on lot 30, con- cession 10, a few miles from Mrs. Si' well's (lid home. Those were the lays when the settlers co-operated in .â- verythingâ€" logging and stoning on the land and weaving, soap-making and other boos in the homes. Mrs. Sewell's maiden name was Lydia Postit and her marriage ,to .lames Sewell took place in 1S75 after which they created a home on the townline of Euphrasia and Artcme- sia. At the time of their marriage the district was almost all cleared, churches and schools had been erected and roads improved. Mr. and Mrs. Sewell spent Bfi years toRother on the liomestead and a family of seven, five (laughters and two sons were born to lliem and grew to adulthood. Mr. Sewell died in 1031 and his widow sold the old home, and joined one of her daughters near Toronto, close to the community where she was born. The members of the family joined in celebrating her recent birthday and she was the recipient of many gifts :ind flowers and messages of congrat- , nations. Her pastor, Rev. Mr. Stead, olTered prayers of thankfulness for her long life of usefulness and Christ- ian influence. Her 80 descendants consist of seven children, P,'.) grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren. The children are Mrs. J. R. Gauley, Mrs. Geo. Cooper, Mrs. David Anderson, all of Toronto, Mrs. Leslie. Harper of Mount Dennis and MIrs. Oliver Hill of Meaford, Uichard of Toronto and Poatil of Rock Mills. Flesherton Won Their First Game Flesherton came through with a win on Tuesday evening in a Centre Grey Leaghe game when they defeated their old rivals, Chatsworth, on local ice to the tune of a 4-2 score. It was the first 'win of the season for Flesherton, last year's champions, in three starts, and they are now on oven terms with Chatsworth for last place. Flesherton had the game well in hand from the start, Fred Patton scoring the first goal with assists being credited to Smith and Boyd. Stanford tied the game up 1-1 when he accepted a pass from McDonald to beat Ferris cleanly. Boyd put Flesh- erton ahead again when another three way pass from Smith and Patton did the trick. Smith added another goal to niakei the count 3-1 at the end of the first period, with Boyd and Patton assisting in securing the counter. Walker of ' Chatsworth was the only one to receive a penalty in the first period. Play was fast in the second period but despite some close calls each net minder had his eyes on the puck* and nothing went by either of them. The speed of the play brought some re- sults, however, when three Flesherton and two Chatsworth players made trips to the cooler to think over their misdemeanors. The third period saw play fairly even with each team counting once. E. Woods brought Chatsworth to closer quarters when he counted on a ganging attack on the Flesherton net. With the score 3-2 in their favor the locals had no intention of being con- tent to hold the lead, but continually strove to add to their total and were finally rewarded when Boyd laid over a perfect pass to Smith, who made sure of Flesherton fourth goal and the last one for the game. The players have been working hard lately on their passing plays, with Mr. E, Hutton as coach, and their work showed the result of the train- ing. Smith broke out with good re- sults Tuesday night, with Boyd and Patton sharing equal honors in the goals and assists columns. Murcar of Dundalk was the referee. Chatsworth â€" Goal, Howe; defence.
