Van Slyke Family Reunion

Fifty-four members of the Van Slyke
family gathered at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. A. A. Williams, in this viii
lage, Wednesday, and participated in a
most enjoyable reunion. Those pres
ent were mainly lineal or collateral de-
scendants of Peter Van Slyke and wife,
whose forebears came from Holland,
first settling in Pennsylvania and later
in Genesee Co., N. Y. Guests were
present from Holly, Detroit, Swartz
Creek, Richfield, Grand Blanc and other
points in the state. The day was spent
in delightful exchange of reminiscent
ces and short program was rendered
during which Prof. j. G. Chapel gave a
pleasing recitation. A bountiful picnic
dinner and supper were enjoyed. While
this family has held frequent reunions
they have had no regular organization
until this year, when the following Off
GERS were chosen: President, Grant L.
Boomer, Flint; Secretary, VIM. Van
Slyke. Flint; Historian, Mrs. A. A.
Williams, Clio. 1t was arranged to hold
the next reunion at Thread Lake Park,

RESIDENT OF GENESEE
OVER HALF CENTURY
JAMES r. BREWER HAS SEEN THE
WILDERNESS BLOSSOM
Came Into This Country in 1855, in Mid.
Winter, Built Log House and
Stick Chimney.

A very interesting caller at the Mes
senger Office. one day this week, was
James R. Brewer, of Montrose town.
ship, octogenarian and veteran of the
Civil war. He came in, primarily, to
tell US of beautiful and thrifty hop
vine growing on his farm, which has
climbed to the top of thirty foot
windmill derrick, nearly covering it
with foliage and bearing clusters of
hops all the way up; also of the new
ever-bearing strawberry which he is
cultivating on small scale. Then, he
told us that he had been a resident of
Montrose township since 1855, at which
time one had to look straight up in his
neighborhood to see open daylight, be-
cause of the heavy timber. Mr.. Brewer
moved into the country in the month of
February, when all was bleak and cold,
and was obliged at once to proceed with
the erection of log house to provide
his family with shelter. When the
house was completed fireplace had to
be built, as stoves were scarce and be-
yond the means of the ordinary settler.
Masons and mortar were likewise hard
to come by in those days and so the fire
place was built Of sticks, notched and
fitted together, like the walls of the
house itself. The lower part of the fire
place, that opened into the single room
of the house, was lined with field stone,
plastered with mud, for short way up,
then the sticks were plastered with
mud for little way farther and from
that point up the chimney was all
sticks. This was very crude, of course,
but the huge blazing back log, the
sparks as they whirled up the wide
throated chimney and the freight as t
flickered over the walls of the humble
home, still form one of the most pleas
ant pictures that recur to the old mans
memory. Mr.. Brewer had the mis-
fortune to fall and break his hip some
m ,nths ago. since which time he has
been obliged to get about on crutches,
but he is very cheerful, withal, and is a
welcome visitor wherever known.

tainment and the Richfield band fur

School Reunion

The first annual reunion of the former
school pupils of Mrs. Geo. M. Rathbone.
held at the residence of herself and
husband in Clio, Tuesday, Aug. 1s, 1914,
was wholly delightful affair, although
the rain prevented the attendance of
large number of those who went to
school to Mrs. Rathbone long years ago.
Pupils, friends and neighbors to the
number of forty-five assembled, how
ever, and between the enjoyment of a
varied program, delightful visit, inter-
esting reminiscence and a sumptuous
picnic dinner, spread under the trees of
the grove, the time passed all too
quickly. Mrs. Rathbone taught school
for nearly ten years in the early days
and in different locations in this county,
her first school in this immediate vicin-
ity being the Waldo school, of which
she had charge forty years ago, in the
some building which is still in use. AS
the years pass away men and women
are inclined, generally, TO think with
increasing regard of the helpful infu-
ence which former school teachers
brought into their lives, and so, we can
imagine with what sincere pleasure her
old pupils greeted their former instruct
or on this occasion. At the close of the
day photo was made of the group and
it was decided to make the reunion an
annual affair.

RETURNS FROM
CANADIAN NORTHWEST
HUGH MULHOLLAND FOUND WAR
HAD DISTURBED CONDITIONS
Grain Crops and Climate Fine, Many Men
Called Away from Fields to Enlist.
Business at Standstill.

After prospecting trip of three
weeks duration, which extended
through Northern Ontario, Manitoba
and Saskatchewan, Hugh Mulholland
returned to his home near here last Sat-
urday evening. At the time Mr.. Null
holland started on his trip war had not
been declared. but that happened soon
after he reached the kings dominions
and materially altered his plans. He
says he found the wheat crop to be of
fine quality and fairly good yield, but
flax and other crops are light owing to
the drouth that prevailed early in the
season. In many instances young men
who belong to the Canadian militia had
been called into the service and owing
to the scarcity of help left their crops
unharvested upon the ground. Busi-
ness was almost at standstill. While
he was in Winnipeg upward of 10000
men enlisted in the army and were sent
to Quebec and Halifax where they will
embark for Europe and serve in the
British army. He says the opinion is
current in the Northwest that Canada
will be called upon to furnish 300, 900
for services in Europe As an evidence
that the realities of war have extended
even to Canada, Mr.. Mulholland says
that soldiers are posted at every rail-
road bridge in the dominion, as far as
he observed, and that large force Of
militia are on constant guard about the
huge elevators at Fort William, where
millions of bushels of grain are stored.
The cities of the Northwest he found
to be very progressive. At Saskatoon
he attended the Midsummer Fair,
where the showing of grain and live
stock was magnificent and where
$12, $50 was hung up in speed premiums
alone. The lands were rich and very
promising. but in his opinion the best
way to get them is to purchase from
settlers who have acquired title. Such
lands can be bought at from SIS to $50
per acre while wild lands in the hands
of dealers and the railroads bring a
considerably larger figure. The climate
is ideal and the air pure and invigorat-
ing at this time of year, but while Mr..
Mulholland found much that was at
tractive about the country, he would
not advise anyone to go there to live
until more settled conditions prevail.
On his way home Mr.. Mulholland came
through North Dakota and Minnesota
where he says the crops are simply
splendid.

McCarvey Case Dismissed

After running along in the local JUS
tice court since April 6, the case Of the
People VS.. John McGarvey, for assault
upon Daney Kitelinger, was discon-
tinued by Justice Fuller. Tuesday, on
the order of the prosecuting attorney.
The case grew out of line fence dis
pute. during which Mr.. McGarvey,
armed with shot gun, caused Mr.. Kit
elnger, to desist from building the
fence. Mr.. McGarvey claims the gun
had not been loaded since time subse-
quent to the war of 1872. and survey
of the lands, recently y made, has shown
that he was defending his own proper
ty. Meantime, the complaining wit
ness, Kitelinger, has gone to parts un-
known and Mr.. McGarvey feels that he
has been put to much needless expense
and used unfairly. He now threatens
to take further steps in the circuit
court, we are told.

The Bridge Builder

An old man, going lone highway
Came at the evening" cold and gray,
To chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built bridge to span the tide
''Old man." said fellow pilgrim near
You wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day.
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide;
Why build you this bridge at evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
Good friend, in the path have come he said,
There foloweth after me today,
A youth whose feet must pass this way
This chasm that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim
Good friend, am building this bridge for him !"
