WINDHAM
CENTRE
It was with regret that we
learned that Mr. Robt. Green had sold out and was going to move to
Toronto. Mr. Green was Clerk of the Township of Windham for 40
years, and it was difficult to see how we could get along without
him.
However, as their three sons
are in Toronto, two of them holding responsible positions, and the
third attending the University where his brother is a Professor, it
was impossible to prevail upon them to alter their decision.
Accordingly, a large number
of their friends turned out to give them surprise, which was held in
the basement of the Methodist church. After the gathering has
assembled an invitation was sent to them. In fact, an escort was
sent to bring them. An appropriate address was read by the pastor,
Rev. Russ, and several valuable pieces of silver were presented to
them.
They were completely taken
by surprise, but each one, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Green, responded in a
few well chosen words. An enjoyable hour was spent in social
intercourse. The next morning they left for their new home, carrying
the best wishes of a host of friends with them.
