Could hold two sledge hammers out horizontle by the handle for a minute Knew tricks like lifting someone up by the forehead. Straight as a poker. Would stick fingers in his lower jaw. Give himself leverage. Know one could tell. Lay on your stomach. Falling flat on his face. He'd put his hands behind his back and fall forward. He'd stick out his stomach and this would make him go like a rocker. Zella would say that Harry would put the pipes in the tops of the silos. He'd walk around without a rope and didn't mind it a bit. Picking rocks Harry and Eldon and Charlie (hired man). Eating lunch and an airplane flew over. Eldon says "Charlie! Stop chewing! I want to hear the airplane!" Granpa and Charlie were good friends. Charlie says "Harry, I think a man should always think twice before they say anything." Charlie stuffed his pipe in his pocket and his pants started to smoke. Harry says "Charlie, I think" "Charlie, I think your pants are on fire" That was about the same time as Charlie found out for himself. Charlie came into the kitchen and Lottie was getting supper on. The twins were running around. Charlie said. "Lottie, did you raise them by hand or suck them yourself?" | Darling, Harry Austin (I178)

He came from Massachusetts to Canada in 1808 and three years later married Mary Powley with whom he lived for more than fifty years until his death.' In the 1851 Census, they were living in Storrington Twp, Frontenac Co, with two sons, Abraham and Joseph. A notice app eared in "The Advocate" 12 Oct 1864, pg 4: Ira Darling: Born Mass. USA; arrived in Upper Canada 1808, married Mary Powley 58 years ago, died aged 77 years, 3 months, survived by wife and "I believe 11 children". Sent from Loughb orough 5 Sep 1864.

| 84 | Lyle Henry Abrams was born on March 9, 1936 in the family homestead in Holleford. He was the fifth child of Bill and Jean Abrams. Lyle's siblings Don, Ralph, Alice, and Bernice were probably not prepared for the human tornado who entered their lives, nor ready for the influence on younger brother Leslie. Lyle was always close to his mother although she never admitted to his mischievous nature. Lyle was always full of fun and energy - quick with a poke, a pinch, a punch or a joke. He was always recognizable by the title of his head and his bright smile and twinkling eyes. You could never get by him without being teased about something! His love for family knew no bounds. He was forever looking forward to and planning the next family event. He took so much joy in seeing all of his kids, their spouses, grandkids, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews being together... the more the merrier. He lived in Sydenham for most of his life and was well known by all. Everyone loved Lyle! He was always available to help anyone in need. You could always count on Lyle.. at one time he was known as "the major of Sydenham." He waill be dearly missed by his wife Norma, his children, Jan & William MacPhail, Pat & Frank Player, Pam & David Freeman, Laurie & Bruce Wagar, Grandchildren, Blake & mara, Trent & Meagan, Blaire & Will, Michelle & Dan, Kelsey, Ben, Josh, & April, Caitlin & Kyleigh, Nicki & A.J., Jessie & Randy.

He will be also missed by his in-laws Joan Foley & Gord Harrington, Bob & Faye Barnes. Uncle Lyle will also be missed by his much loved nieces and nephews. Lyle also had a way of making everyone feel like family so he will also be missed by his many friends and neighbours through the years.

| 94 | Nan says there was a story of damage that was so unintentional that it shouldn't be written unless it was anonymous. Bop not having parents scarred him deeply. It left him vulnerable, always searching, never satisfied right to the day he died. Picture a little boy between 3 and 4 with his mother dying, no father-- at that time it was so different. Nowadays so many helps are at our fingertips. They had a Xian background which was very real, and not taken lightly. Th ey were Presbyterians. Read the Bible and prayed every morning. This little boy was left in this household of two people in their late 70's. Uncle Jamsey (James Alexander) and Aunt May. (Mary Ellen) Aunt May wasn't married and she was in her early forties. Uncle Jamsey was the same age. T hey were smitten with the grief of losing two or three family members already. Aunt Lucy died with the flu, and Uncle Jamsey just about died, walked with two canes in his 30's for about a year afterwards. They tried to discipline he and his sister as they grew up. The sister was three or four years older than him. He regarded her as his mother. He needed her all the time and folowed her around. They were dressed adequately an d fed, but not anything like your own children. No extras or treats. It was rigourous and for the most part rather cold and unfeeling. (Nan says that with a "Lord firgive me kind of attitude). She picks that up from what Ear l says. Uncle Jamsey would get the kids something at Xmas. Cut back at the meals. Too much butter or sugar or something. When he was a teenager, they didn't know which way to turn, no idea. (the aunt and uncle) Aunt Bea was sent off to shool and got a year at Lorne Park College in Toronto. She learned a lot about common courtesies and dressing and speaking, and stuff. The Wilsons were known for their respectability and refinement. Th ey tried to raise bop and Bea in that way, The Abrams were mourning, the woman died at home, Jane, and she brought the family to Uncle Jamseys when the dad died, and so when she died at home, the kids just stayed there. It may have been a court decision, but in a small community it may have just been done as a convenience. Everyone just knew each other. The Wilsons had more clout than the Abrams. Grandpa Wilson had a BA, so he had a good educa tion for those days. People came to him for legal advice. Township always involved in township affairs. to do with the laying of the roads. It was remarkable him having that education. Nan has a picture with both sets of granparents (Both of Earls grandparents and both of Nan's grandparents.) it's at a mill, and they're sitting on logs. It's written on the back. Didn't get an education. He didn't like School, so he didn't go. If he heard the "chug chug" of the steam engine, he wouldn't be paying any attention to his lessons, he'd be yearning to get out of there and get home. He always worked at home. Tried to work at other places for a few weeks, but was just wretched. Married he was 23, couldn't leave Uncle jamsey. Never had, and couldn't. Lived with Nan's parents for 4 years, and this was terrible for both of them. They both felt like bop was a complete failure. Had NO money for weeks on end. Then nan's dad took sick. Uncle Jamsey would give him a little money once in a while because he had men working for him. When Earl was about forty he got his feet under him. After Uncle Jamsey died. He started working at the big mines. He hated it bec ause his dad had been killed in a mine. So poverty stricken, so had to do it. Married six years before Clair was born. He was named after a cousin of nans. For the first time in his life he was getting a regular pay check. That meant so much to nan. More than she could ever describe. To try to run a home and be a good wife and supportive and a good mother etc, in such hardship an d poverty. "God knew all the time." Hazel's dad gave them some property and they built a cottage and lived there for four years. It was on Sand Lake. Got raw lumber from the mill. No insulation. No furnace, big woodstove in the kitchen. Little box stove in the living room. Had some help building it. Earl knew so many people who were handy like himself and they'd swap jobs. Uncle Ray may have, neighbor boys helped put the roofing. It burned down recently in the eighties. Nan has photos. Nan's grandmother made her wedding dress by candlelight. Elizabeth "Jenny" WIlson. Moved to little place in April of 42. Moved to Uncle George Wilson's house in Kinsford Lake on first week of December 45. Nan's sat there in the driveway with Clair and mom-- was an experience: believe me! Reliving it, running in and out doors, hanging clothes, th ere the apple tree, being a young mother etc. Left Wilson's house and moved to Verona in Octiber of 54. Rented a house right across from te FM church for 2 months. Bought a little lot, then a cottage across Brock lake from Sandy Storms (a neighbors name) in 56? moved the cottage across on the ice to the lot and lived there for two years. Wasn't finished at all. Slept in the basement. In 58 they moved to where I remember. Pine Ridge Drive. It was a muttart Pre-fab house. Package deal. less than 4,000 dollars. Clair sold it later for between $80,000 and $90,000. The little cottage lot was a two minute walk toward the Southwest of the Muttart house. Clair bought Clarence Babcock's house for $14,000 in 73 on Deyo's Corners. "It was a steal." In '76 Bop and Nan swapped with them. | Abrams, Wilbert "Earl" Earl (I118)
