Gordon Will Be 90 Years Friday James Gordon of Maxwell district will mark his 90th birthday on Fri- day, MLarch 6th, at the farm to which he came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Gordon, who originally came from County Cavan, Ireland. The farm, which was almost solid bush when the family came to Os- prey, had just enough clearing for a log cabin. His parents farmed at Pickering before coming to the bush country in Osprey Township. Sixty-eight years ago Mr. Gordon, married Mary Hill and they farmed for many years on the Gordon homestead, where they raised a fam- ily of six children. Mrs. Gordon passed away 25 years ago and Mr. Gordon has continued to reside with his son, Howard, on the old home- stead. Mr. Gordon has served on Osprey Township Council and was tax collector for years. He also served on Hatherton school board and was always conscientuous in the performance of duty. His unbound- ed good humor is another quality by which he is well known and makes him welcome company. Up and around every day, Mr. Gordon is still in good health and deeply concerned with the work of the farm and all members of his family. To have lived ninety years, eighty of which have boen spent on the same farm, and hold the good- will and respect of three genera- tions of neighbors is no mean feat, but Mr. Gordon has done this and is one of the best-loved residents of the community. A host of friends hail him for his longevity and trust he may be spared to enjoy life for several years yet. Of his family of six children, five survive, namely. Howard and Daw- son in Osprey; John at Weston; Mrs. Chas. -"Dolphin (Lottie), and Mrs. Reuben Lougheed (Margaret) both of Toronto. A son, Myles, died many years ago. Deeply interested in the progress of the war, Mr. Gordon has cause for special pride, the fact that two of his grandsons, Don and Ken Gor- don, 'are members of the R.C.A.F. DIED MADDEN Suddenly at Kingston on Monday, Feb. 23rd, Pilot Officer Willard E. Madden, loved son of Rv. F. W. and Mrs. Madden, formerly of Eugenia, and brother of Ewart, EJve- lyn and Clifford of Dunbarton, Ont., in his 24th year. The funeral was held on Thursday, Feb. 26th at the funeral chn.ppj of Morle^S. Bedford, Toronto, with full military rites. In- terment was made at Erskine Ceme- terv, Dunbarton. Science hopes to harness sun power. For years parents of little tots have been trying to harness both son and daughter power. FLESHERTON AND ROCK MILLS B ' PTIST CHLHCHES Frank B.
