第42章

"Votes of thanks were presented to Mr.and Mrs.Trueman, the host and hostess, and to Dr.Chapman, the chairman, after which all joined in the National Anthem."The Chignecto POST had the following description of the gathering:

"The oldest house now being occupied in this part of the Province is in Point de Bute, about seven miles from Sackville.It was built in 1799, so that the structure is a hundred years old.In a granite slab over the front entrance is the following: "June 14, 1799." The main house is of brick and is a good solid looking structure yet.It has stood well the blasts of a hundred winters, and judging from its present appearance it will be able to stand many more.

"Some time ago the relatives and friends of Mr.Trueman urged him to celebrate the 100th birthday of his house.Circumstances prevented him from holding the celebration on June 14th, but on July 14th, last Friday, the event was celebrated in a manner that the two hundred people who were present will not soon forget.

"It was Mr.Trueman's intention that his guests should make a day of it, but unfortunately Friday forenoon was foggy and wet, and this no doubt prevented a large number from being present.However, the rain did not interfere with the plans of some of the friends, for early in the forenoon they began to arrive from a distance, and they continued to arrive, although the rain came down in torrents.But shortly after noon the cheerful face of Old Sol peered forth from behind a fog bank.

The clouds were soon dissipated, nature dried her tears, and everybody was glad.A merrier throng it would have been hard to find than the one now gathered around the old brick house, everyone intent upon doing his or her best to celebrate the anniversary.

"There were people present from St.John, from Moncton, from Albert Co., from Bay Verte, from Amherst, from Nappan, from Sackville, and from all the surrounding country.There was the grandfather and grandmother, whose silvery hair and bent form contrasted strongly with sprightliness of the young toddlers who were very much in evidence.But a smile was on every face and nobody was made to feel that he was a stranger.From the top of the highest tree floated the Canadian ensign, while nearer the house the ancient folds of the Union Jack were spread to the breeze.

"The old house was thrown open to all, and many persons had the pleasure of seating themselves in the chair which was brought to this country by the first of the name who touched upon its shores.This article of furniture, together with a grandfather's clock, are the property of Mr.Trueman, and, needless to say, are very highly prized by him.They are remarkably well preserved, and the clock still keeps excellent time.

"On the grounds, quite near the house, a platform had been improvised, and during the afternoon short addresses were made by Howard Trueman, Jos.L.Black, Judge Trueman, of Albert Co., Rev.Mr.Batty, of Amherst, Prof.Andrews, Dr.Brecken, Dr.Allison and others.

"Tea was served on the grounds in true Bohemian style, but everybody enjoyed it.The evening passed very pleasantly with vocal, instrumental music, etc.It was a fitting celebration, and one which both old and young will no doubt often be pleased to look back upon.Mr.and Mrs.

Trueman and the members of their family dispensed the kindest hospitality and did everything possible to make the event what it was, a grand success."The names of the children and grandchildren of William Trueman and Elizabeth Keillor, with other records of the families:
