On Janus Braek's farm, a little farther north, the railway had run between the house and the barn. Daddy Jackson had obtained this farm in trade for a shotgun from Jacob Troyer, who was the grand- father of Mr. Fowler's wife. In the early days. Dufferin st. was much farther west than at. present, it hav~ ing followed the valley courses to avoid the steep hills. It was straight-1 ened out about 45 years ago. For 20 years. Mr. Fowler lived at Fairbank, doing market gardening. At. that time there was little but. market gardens from Bloor street; north. He moved to his farm on Steele‘s side road 29 years ago. Being of Yorkshire Methodist par- suasion. Mr. Fowler took a keen in- terest in the activities of that body, having sung in the Methodist choir at Fairbank for 18 years and later in Elia choir, of which church he was the oldest member. He used to tell of “camp meetings” having been held in Stong’s‘ bush at Elia, one of which, after lasting for six weeks. was continued! in the church for several more weeks. The late Rev. James A. Rankin, then a farm hand in the community, was one of the 50 converts at this time. Mr. Rankin occupied several pulpits in Toronto. Mr. Fowler, interviewed on his last. birthday. was sure that England) would win the war. “No nation ever prospered which persecuted God’s whose three Admission.

The late Fred Fowler cf Brampton was another son. Twelve of his 21 grandchildren also survive. He has two greatâ€"grands children. _ Mr. Fowler told. how wooden benches, hand made, did for seats in the old church at Elia. The wo- men sat on one side and the men on the other. He remembered when they first began to sit together. When a new hymn book was intro- duced to save the expense of getting two hymn books, the women were allowed to sit with their husbands so they could both use the same book. Toronto and district has had a cool. damp summer, the coolest ac- cording to official Observatory re- cords, since 1929. And September, to date, has been below average from a temperature standpoint and above normal from a rain standpoint, so that the title of “coolest, dampest summer since 1929" was well earned and is likely to stick. i i i 2 § i i BEST B A COMPLETE LINE OF 9 9.09.“OOOONOOOWQOVOOOOOOQQ09 W.“ FAlRBANK HOG FEEDS AND CONCENTRATES FAIRBANK FEED CO. 2385 Dufferin Street, Toronto, KEnwood 6805, or Wesley Clark, Richmond Hill, telephone 4704 Y TEST __EEDS POULTRY, DAIRY AND “OO”OOM”OO””O”OOOOOOOO PARIS AUTO SUPPLY Auto Wreckers Complete Stock of New and Used Parts, Accessories and Tires For All Makes of Cars and Trucks We Have Exchange Service on Rebuilt Carburetors, Starters, Generators and Headlight Reflectors Phone 86 Richmond Hill, Ont. “TRY US FOR SERVICE” ”
