was lawrence hose with a well respected family long since moved from town the old mill was situated a little south of the remains o the old radia hoad near w h kentncrs ofli e and by the way opposite where the handsome and well equipped new post office now stands this reminds me that hiss annie rose one of this family attended at the same time as myself the model school at brampton in pre paration for school teaching hiss rose faced the problem of teaching with greater com posure than i did however aa at youth i did the best i could and when the reports were is sued it was found that we both fttth others passed his rose immediately got a school situation and to my surprise my application for hendersons school 7th line was accepted many of the boys were larger and some of them older than i but we worked together ge- serally and got through at ie close of the first year tho trustees george h kennedy lewis stull and john filler had a meeting at which i was pre sent and they decided to in crease my salary from 400 co to 42500 that meeting re mains one of the bright mo stents- of my life at the end of the next year there was an other thrill for again up went my salary another 2500 wuh the money i saved during those three years plus 1he price of some dandy thoroughbred cal yes i had helped to raise and that had been sold a few years previously i purchased the georgetown herald on
