Show ORANGEVILLE - We all extend our greatest sympathy to Mrs. Eloise Swannel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Childs, whose husband hus-band was killed the 19th of June in France where he has been serving In the Canadian forces for the past three years. He had been wounded three times and the last time had been in the hospital for nine months. He was awarded a medal for bravery. He was a great athlete, as pleasant and agreeable as he was brave, and he has certainly done all In his power to defend de-fend his country, to surely be missed by all who knew him. He leaves a wife who mourns his loss but their home has never been blessed with a child. As far as we know this makes the first war widow in Emery county. The following telegram was received by Mrs. Swannell yesterday. (It was first sent to Canada and then on here.) "The King commands me te assure you of the true sympathy of His Majesty and the Queen in your sorrow. Truly, Secretry of State for War. To Lieut Charles E. S. Swannell." No matter how much we wish to keep all our secrets, in most cases they get away from us. But this one has been kept so completely still that the writer did not know of it last week. Our Hon. Andrew Anderson and Sister Susannah Jewkes just took a hike across the mountain and came back as one. We all congratulate them and feel that. Instead of the two lonely homes there will now be one very comfortable com-fortable and happy one as both are ideal home-makers and just the kind of people to make life pleasant for all around them. Success to you, friends. Mrs. Ed. Fox, Mrs. Ruby Jewkes, and Mrs. Gladys Rlxey are here visiting and putting up a good supply of thff-deliclous thff-deliclous fruit which this country i so abundantly blessed with this year. Some more new autos this week! County Superintendent Wm. T. Reld. John Failay, and John Cox are all flying around to see who can manage his car best. Our Red Cross is awake and doing a great work and all enjoy it. Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson were the means of giving a number of their friends a fine outing which we would not have had if they had not got busy and started things moving. They just said to a jolly bunch, "Let's take a good big lunch and go up In the canyon can-yon a ways and spend the day." Well, away we all went, and a fine time we had. Besides a grand picnic we all had raspberries and cream a feast to remember. We were not satisfied with one lunch. We had so much that we decided we would stay until evening and have another meal and come home In the cool of the day. It was great. Such outs make old people peo-ple young and cross people good. Mr. and Mrs. Archer Willey are here visiting relatives and friends. Both are just as Jolly and looking just the same as when they left here a few years ago. Rob and Will Davis, also the latter's wife, just ran over from the camps to see the home people Sunday. All are doing fine. W. S. 9. |
