A. number of Port Perry people had this experience.

Brown near Agincourt, August third. On the list of speakers were Geo. A. Brown of Amityville, N. Y., preg- ident of the Brown Family Associa- tion, N. C. Brown of Séagrave, Jas. Blanchard of Uxbridge, John Brown of Toronto. An artistically drafted Family Tree was exhibited, showing John Brown Esquire as the trunk, hig six children as the main branches, then other branches showing six generations the name on each 'branch. Four gen- erations were present. John Brown, Esquire was born in Ireland in 1776 and died in Toronto in 1854, His four daughters and two sons, Miss Jane Brown, Mrs Mary Brown Brown, Mrs. Ann Brown Hew- itt, Mrg Elizabeth Brown Armstrong, Alexander Brown, George Brown (whose youngest son is the writer of this article), settled claims in the vir- gin forest near Whitby, Uxbridge and Port Perry. The speakers brought out facts showing that these six families played a prominent part in the pioneer life of Ontario, and that hundreds of their descendants are now residing in Tor- onto and surrounding towns Here are a few of the facts brought out by the speakers. While they be- long to the John Brown family, they belong not less to the pioneer history of the province. Alexander 'Brown, father of J. C. and Andrew Brown of Port Perry, settled on the first concession, Town- ship of Reach, For an axe to fell the timber he worked one month He paid another monthg labour to have the axe "jumped" Then with almost superhuman endurance and grim de- termination, he cleared the land, and brought under cultivation one of the most productiive farms of Ontario ; Here is one illustration typical of the pioneer life of Ontario, this Alex- ander Browne carried on his back from lot 5 a bushel of wheat to York, now Toronto,to have ground, forty: miles there following a blazed trail and carried his flour forty miles The mogt numerous and most neighbours were the wolves and bears ] creditors and others having claims against the estate of John Wesley Thompson, late of the Village of Brooklin, in the Township of Whitby, in the County of Ontario, retired farmer, deceased, who died on or about the 1st day of January, 1929, are, on or before the 5th day of Sep- tember A.D. 1929, to send by post, prepaid, to" Harris & Harris, Port Perry, Ont., olicitors for Royal Elgin Thompson, administrator of the estate of John Wesley Thompson, deceased their christian names and surnames, addresses and descriptions, the full particulars of their claims, a state- ment of their accounts and the nature of the securities (if any) held by them, and that after the day last aforesaid the said Royal Elgin Thomp- son will proceed to distribute the assets of the said deceased among the parties entitled thereto having regard only to such claims of which notice shall have been given as above re- quired, Thompson will not be liable for the said assets or any part thereof, to any person or 'persons of whose claim or Sloimg vutiss shall sot have boo re- home along the same blazed trail.| ceived by at Charlie for he is bringing up the' the hide of hig father's steer, father's sheep; the wool carded even- ings around the open SHimey by the family circle, spun on wheel by his phrooly he yarn woven by the next door neighbour, the cloth | cutand sewed by his mother to make his suit; hig socks and mitts knitted by his mother from the same yarn and dyed by sumae cones; his hat braided from oat straw by that-same busy mother of seven children; his food with a few rare exceptions produced on the farm; hig medicine, Epsom Salts was the panacea for all ailments to which human flesh is heir.
