Although it rained all afternoon, friends from far and near, 'came to pay their final tribute of respect to one whose life, for over 103 years had left its impress, on the com- munity where she lived. Mary Rogers who was a daughter of John Cruess and sister of J. S. Cruess M.P.P., was born in Bradford and came to Mariposa in 1885, and, having the rare distinction of having lived well past the century mark has seen wonderful changes in Mariposa since she came into the virgin forest, and riding horseback, following the blazed trees, left by the surveyers as she rode out to Pudy's Mill, to get the needed supplies from the little store on the bank of the Scugog River, where the town of Lindsay now stands. That courage, faith and per- severance, and that kindly considera- tion for the welfare of others remain- ed with her until the last moment, when her spirit took its flight. The services were conducted in the home by Rev. Dr. Morrow, of Oak- wood, énd in the meeting house by Dri Morrow and Louise Richardson-of Pickering, a minister of the Society of Friends, and the beautiful, simple, but impressive service was in keeping with the life and character of her who now sleeps with loved ones gone be- fore.

Earle Port Perry, May 12th, 1924 Board of Education, Port Perry; RERE A adie Ladies and Gentlemen: I received your very kind invitation to be present at a banquet given in honour of Mr. George Stone. I would have been very happy 'to form one of the company present on such an occasion, but I'am not able to attend. I am very much pleased that the members of the Board ap- preciate Mr. Stone's long and efficient services as teacher in the school and as a citizen of the community. The twenty-six years of happy and harmonious association with Mr. Stone are among the most. pleasant memories of my life-work. 'I have had good opportunities of estimating the value of Mr. Stone's work and I think that the members of the Board honor tp=mselves by recog- nizing such long and faithful service." Mr. Stone has not. only been a faithful teacher but also a most efficient'one, as his pupils fully realize where in colleges and universities they come Jin com- petitibn with pupils prepared in other schools. / Wishing that Mr. Stone may for many years enjoy the rest which he has so well earned. : I am, Yours Sincerely, D. McBride. Toronto, May 15th, 1924 Dear Mr. Farmer, Chairman of Board of Education: : : : I delayed writing you in the hope that I could arrange to be with you on Friday evening. Will you please convey to the Board of Education my re- gret that I cannot be present to assist in doing honour to one who has done so much for education and for the Village of Port Perry. While so many other teachers have come and gone, Mr. Stone has remained, and with Mr. McBride, has maintained the fine traditions of the school. 'I have very dis- tinct memories of the very skilful and thorough manner in which Mr, Stone taught mathematics, and of the wholesome discipline' he always maintained in his classes, and I appreciate now more than I did then the great services of such a teacher. ads 2 I hope Mr. Stone will be spared for many years to'enjoy a well earned leisure.
