Hello listers, I could not find the "Richmond Guardian" here in Montreal. - Was told to check out the "Quebec City Chronicle & Telegraph" for the eastern part of the E Twps news . It had some but it was too spread out to be worthwhile. Only found one entry that looked appealing: (Not sure the IOOF is known in USA & futher..but is still in the E Twps..& is the Independant Order of Odd Fellows. On gravestones you'll see 3 links of a chain.. sometimes.. which is their logo. Think each stands for something (such as "truth" & whatever) Quebecer at Danville Richmond Guardian says.. the regular meeting of Golden Rule Lodge # 13 ? IOOF was held on Fri evening last in the comfortable & spacious lodge room & was of more than usual interest on account of the presence of bro.Geo. Gale of Quebec, Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge who was greeted by a large attendance of brothers. After the regular order of business, Bro Gale was called upon for a speech. Page 1 - Oct 17, 1898 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Bedford News & Missisquoi Advocate: (all the rest are from this paper under date of Oct 6 1899) Granby: Mr J Keat's Jersey cow died from the effects of the wounds inflicted by the supposed bear or lynx (not lion) as the News erroneously stated last week. St Johns: Mrs Alex Walmsley is again ill being prostrated with an attack of rheumatism & other complications. We are pleased to add, however , that she is making satisfactory progress toward recovery. Capt Naylor has leased the steamer Princess Louise of Kingston, a boat about the same capacity as the Island Queen, to ply on the Richelieu for the remainder of the ths season. She will start on her regular trips the first of next week. We see from a report in the Montreal papers that Mrs Christina Grundy died in that city Mon. deeply regretted . There are several Mrs Grundy's (sic) living in St Johns whose demise we apprehend would not be signalled by any profound manifestation of grief! (can you believe this was in a newspaper???!! ) Huntingdon: 3 redcoats were seen on our streets this week. They are part of a contingent lately returned from the Yukon district & were here on a 10 day leave of absence from St Johns. One of them, Dan McGill is well known to this village. They report law & order in first class shape in Dawson. Glen Sutton: Mrs Martin Courser shot a hawk recently that measured 3 ft 9 inches from tip to tip. Where is the farmer's wife that can beat that? In fact Mrs Courser in the handling of a rifle could evidently put many of the sterner sex to shame. Henry Wilson has purchased the house on the corner near the depot for $275. East Bolton: Mr Henry Ellston recently found one of his horses in the pasture with a bullet wound in its neck from which it died a day or 2 later. It was probably accidental as Henry has no enemies & all are sorry for him Lacolle: A number of witnesses in the Hilliker trial, on route from Alburgh (Vt) to Sweetsburg were detained here for half a day on Mon last, through failure of the trains to connect. Mr & Mrs David Hodgson went to New York to be present at the Dewey celebration. Guthrie: Admiral Dewey did not draw any admirers from this locality to witness his New York parade John Gales is building a granery for Mr Delbert Hosapple this week. Morgan's Corner: A basket social will be held at the home of Mrs Robert Stewart, Morgan's Corner on Fri. evening Oct 6. Supper: 25¢ a couple. All are cordially invited Dunham: It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of one of Dunham's promising sons, Charlton Manville Rublee(?) who succumbed to an attack of tyfoid fever in Prescott Arizona on the 18th(?) of last month. The body was brought here for interment & a memorial service held at the Methodist church. A wide circle of friends mourn the loss of an esteemed friend & sympathize with the stricken family. *********************** The next page contains Coaticook news ..so maybe this paper covered all the E Twps - or nearly all.
