The TALES you probably never heard about

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE ALLANBURG

[Welland Tribune, 13 October 1905]

Did keep the Secret.-Mrs. C.T. Ware concluded to surprise her husband on his birthday on Saturday evening last, and quietly invited a few friends and neighbors.  It proved a complete success, as not even the family had any idea of what was on the “boards” until the guests began to arrive, about 7 p.m. Strange as it may seem there was just one guest for each summer Mr. Ware had witnessed. To be modest, we hardly like to tell his age so we will place the figures his way, cc. To say the company was royally entertained would not be half telling it, as we are all acquainted with the host and hostess. When the hands of the clock began pointing towards upstairs to bed, we all took the hint and left for our respective homes: Fonthill, Allanburg, Crowland, Port Robinson, Niagara Falls and other places.
