Our deepest sympathies go out to the Beatrice Chartrand and the Hearty family on the passing of Basil Hearty of Chapeau, Que. Back a few years ago Basil was the building inspector in Sheenboro.
At the beginning of October, Ed and Jen White from Buffalo, N.Y., made a visit to Sheenboro. Jane was retracing her grandmother’s history as a Home Child. One of the places she worked in the early 1900s was at the Jennings farm on Meehan Road. They were thrilled to meet Jim Jennings, the grandson and his wife Nena who graciously allowed them to tour the home and see the bedroom that her grandmother, Lily Cassidy, stayed in.

They were impressed with our church and graveyard and the Culbute Museum in Chichester. They also had a nice visit with Bob Meehan and Andrew Perrault. Both Bob and Andrew provided Jane with the history of Sheenboro back then. Their plan is to return and explore more of Sheenboro and the Pontiac.
Birthday greetings and best wishes go out to my daughter-in-law, Michelle Ranger, on Oct. 20 and to Mary Edwards on Oct. 22.
On Sunday, Sharon Picard, Penny Perrault, Lorna Gleason, Betty Morris, Evelyn Sullivan, Laetitia Peacock and her daughter Susan and I attended a Murder Mystery at St. Brigid’s Centre in Ottawa, Ont. We also met Kluane Miller of Montreal, her cousin Wayne Murray whom I hadn’t seen in ages and her niece Corine McGuire. After the show our group went to visit the Jacques Cartier Park, the biggest horticulture park in Canada. It is very nice indeed and it was a worthwhile visit.
Also pertaining to the Municipal Elections I wanted to mention that Lorna Agnesi is also acclaimed.
