Five Generations (Continued from Page One) Born in a log cabin in Simcoe County, March 20, 1861, the old- sten possesses a surprisingly re- tentive memory wbich would credit a man baîf bis years. Until recently be could recite 700 lines of John Milton's masterpiece, Paradise Lost, "without a fhub," but because of bis advancing years be can only recite "a couple hundred lines witbout a flub," today. John Edmondson bas lived a bealtby and active hife. He bas been a farmer, a lumberman and a contractor. He was reputedly tbe first conductor on Oshawa's Street Railway; later he buiît many fine homes in the Moton City. Il was John Edmondson wbo buiht tbe recenlly demolished wooden curling nink on Osbawa's King St.; be bas nîso been a scbool teacber and a druggisl. Ahthough be now suffers bard- ening of the arteries, Canada's No. 1 Great-great-grandfatber still manages to gel uptown once in a while. "I was up to pay my taxes the other day," be tohd the Statesman reporter, but otber than short walks and a little read- ing he lives a quiet life. Would Ride Bicycle According tb bis grandson, Clarence, John Edmondson was "seniously tbinking of buying a bicycle last year to belp bim gel around." A temperal man, who bas neyer touched tobacco or hiquor, John Edmondson arrived in Oshawa in 1885; througboul bis hife be bas been a devoul cburcb- man. He~ attended Simcoe Street United Church reguharhy until be was 70, but in haler years he bas flot been able 10 gel to, church as oflen as be would hîke. John Edmondson's grandfatber came 10 Canada from. Yorksbire, England; bis father was born on an Etobicoke farm. Tbe oldest living Edmondson attended scbool in Simcoe County when Confed- eration was nol yet a reality, and 'ie sll remembers bis first teacb- er, William Reid, and wben com- Tlenting on bis competence said: "I don't tbink be went furîber than fourth book bimself." Tbe great-great-grandfather of the Ed- nondson family also remembers reading the Orîllia Packet and rimes when a boy. Has Remarkable Memory With a memory as chear as a looking glass he recalîs bis sebool boy days and the contemporary uvonld. He wenl 10 sehool in the 60's and well be recalîs Harper's Ferry and fieny John Brown, the American wbo barboured a fanb John Brown who established a atical hatred for slavery. Il was stalion in the "underground rail- vay" 10 belp runaway slaves es- cape to Canada. Il was John Brown wbo armed 22 men and led an attack on the federal arsenal aI Harper's Ferry, Oct. 16, 1859. Later Brown was taken nrisoner by tbe then Col. Robent E.Lee; be was bangèd December 2, 1859. Mn. Edmondson remembers Harper's Ferry, and be remem- bers singing tbe still popuhar song, John Brown's Body" wbich was written in bis memory and wbich c E h el Ir Ic bi YGUR EYES and Vision 1Rewritten fromn - previousi copyrights of' 't»"'C.

Oshawa - Phone 1511 No. 151 Some people who have sensi- tive nasal passages may simulate at a certain time of the year a condition similar to hay fever and as time goes on they may claim that their glasses cured the bay fever. There is no doubt, that certain colour in tbe eye correc- tion is a relief in some of these sensitive conditions. However, tbe use of glasses for bay fever is not to be relied upon and is generally considered as a mîsinterpretation of the symptoms.-.1 caused considerable feeling in the North and South. John Edmondson and Elizabeth Boucher have four living sons: Howard 70, Fred 62, George 58 and John 53. Fred is presently living in Kingston, but the otber three sons live in Oshawa and work in General Molors. A daughler Ethel, 67, lives retired in Oshawa; a second daughter, Louise 63, is now Mrs. William Jackson and lives ai; Long Beach, Cal. Howard Edmondson was born in Cbingacouseby, Peel County, and be and bis wife, the former Catherine Cameron, celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniver- sary Dec. 20, 1950. The couple bad four sons: Clarence 47, Harold 45, Earl 43 and George 32, ahl of wbom work at General Motors. A daugbter, Marguerite 49, is now Mrs. Harry Pellow and lives in Oshawa; a second daughter, Louise 35, is Mrs. Archie Wood and also resides in Oshawa. Mr. Wood was' at one lime employed by Couch, Jobnston & Cryderman, Bowman- ville. Edmondsons to Bowmanville Clarence Edmondson married a Bowmanville girl, Mildred Lux- ton, and be moved 10 Bowman- ville following bis marriage. The couple bave three children: Wil- liam 26, Howard 22 and Muriel 17. Next in line, William Edmond- son, marrîed Dorotby Aldned and tbeir son, Howard, makes the fifth generation of the family. Mr. Edmondson works at the Good- year, bene. Considering the early age of marniage and the apparent long- evity of the Edmondson family, a sixth genenation of Edmondsons is not an impossibility. One of the most extensive fish- counting experiments in Canada is the salmon population cbeck being carried out on the Mirami- chi River in New Brunswick.
