From the Simcoe
correspondent of the Brantford Expositor:
Mr. Joseph Lefler, a son of
the late
Hiram Lefler, who was born in Simcoe some 60 years ago, was
in town for a
couple of days visiting relatives.
He has lost the sight of one
of his eyes entirely, and with the other one he can
see but a short
distance.
Of his eight sons, six
enlisted for the war and five of them are in it still, one having
returned wounded.
It is rather a peculiar
circumstance that
Mr. Harry Hammond live in the home
that Mr. Lefler
formerly lived in, and all
of his four sons are overseas.
So 10 soldiers, good and
true, in the two families, have lived in the same
small house on
Talbot Street.
This is perhaps a record for Canada.
