The TALES you probably never heard about

GAINSBORO : BOYLE [Welland Tribune September 13 1897]

Mrs Charles Lambert is having a serious time with her eyes. She has consulted a well-known oculist of Toronto, but we are sorry to say she is not permanently relieved.

Local sports will attend the world’s fair at Marshville next Saturday.

Mrs. Tremp of Duluth has been visiting relatives and friends in this neighborhood.

A. Swayze, who has been on an extended visit at his mother’s, Mrs. M.A. Swayze’s, has returned to his home.

A “surprise” in honor of Mrs. Tremp, was given at the home of Elmer Misener on Monday night. About fifty neighbors and friends assembled to participate in the program. Various amusements were indulged in during the evening till about midnight, when the crowd, after thanking Mr. and Mrs Misener for their hospitality, wended their way homeward.

Mrs. E.M. Robbins, whose illness was  noted in last week’s Tribune, passed peacefully away on Saturday. Deceased was well-known and much respected by a host of friends. She had taught school near Attercliffe for some three years, after which she married Stephen Robbins, who predeceased her some three years. She had always taken an active interest in every institution having for its motto, good, and it may truly be said of her that the  world is the better for her having lived. Since her husband’s death she had been quite unwell; at times very bad, but would rally again. Her last sickness came upon her while visiting at Mr. Coleman’s; from the first it did not seem that she would recover, and after a week she passed to rest. The funeral was held on Tuesday, services at the house. It was under the auspices of the C.O.C.E.
