The TALES you probably never heard about

TOWN NEWS

[Welland Tribune, 15 July 1898]

Levi Sherk called on Welland county friends last week, having just returned from a trip across the ocean, in which Mrs. Sherk was also a participant. Mr. Sherk had a pleasant and interesting trip through England and Scotland, but his ocean experiences were not agreeable. He was seasick once going over and once returning, but unfortunately each attack lasted from the time he left one shore until he reached the other. He thinks another trip across the ocean would kill him, and in fact the ship’s doctor advised him never to cross again, advice however which friend Levi says is wholly unnecessary, as he would not attempt to cross again for a fortune. Mrs. Sherk proved a better sailor and stood the trip well.
