COLBORNE

Squire John Beemer celebrated his 91st birthday on Monday, 
[30 Sep 1920] of this week. The day was spent quietly but pleasantly, receiving congratulations from his many friends, a motor ride and call on an old friend, Mr. Walker Messecar of Waterford in the afternoon, and receiving callers in the evening.

Mr. Beemer is remarkably active for his years, and takes a keen interest in what is going on in the world, and is still occasionally seen driving to town with the old gray horse. His many friends wish him continued health to enjoy several more years of well-earned peaceful old age.
