LYNN
VALLEY
P. W. Austin
of Lynn Valley celebrated his 80th birthday on 24 Jan 1920, when
33 friends and relatives gathered to wish him many happy
returns of the day.
Of his 10
children four were present:
Mrs. Leitch and son Wallace of Strathroy,
Mrs. G. W. Buchner and family of Port Ryerse,
Nelson Austin and son Murray of Tillsonburg,
and Will Austin and family of Lynn Valley.
Miss Reta
Austin of Paris was also present.
In the
evening the neighbors came in and an enjoyable time was spent in
games and music.
Mr. Austin,
who is still hale and hearty, danced the clog dance, which was
played by Miss Reid of Hamilton.
Then all
joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne," and the party
dispersed with hearty wishes for many future good times.
