The TALES you probably never heard about

FINE NEW HOUSE

[Welland Tribune, 28 February 1898]

The following from the Oceana, Mich,. Herald, will be read with pleasure by many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Walton among the TRIBUNE’S readers:-

Robert Walton and family have moved into their new house on Bennett st., which is nearly finished inside. Mr. Walton’s new house is one of the finest in Oceana, and about the most conveniently arranged house in the city. Located as it is on the side hill, it commands a view of the entire village and many miles of the surrounding country. The house is finely finished in butternut, oak, birch and birdseye maple.

The architect who made the plan for the house was Mr. Jonathan Augustine of Ypsilanti, Mrs. Walton’s brother, who certainly had in view a house that would be a pretty, comforatble and convenient home. The house was built by Mr. Samuel Augustine, another brother of Mrs. Walton, and the carpenter work on the house shows Mr. Augustine to be a fine workman.

Mr. and Mrs. Walton may well feel proud of their and beautiful home on the hill, and we hope they will remain with us to enjoy it for many years to come.
