Lovering</font></strong>, Post Master,- was opened last Saturday. </p><p><b r>TOP, Nov. 14, 1879- ORILLIA &amp; MATCHEDASH- Mr. Wm. Lovering, of Matchedash, pressed and exported ninety tons of hay, this season- the product of his own farm.</p><p><br>Barrie Northern Advance, April 15, 1880- W.D. Lov ering, of Matchedash, has sold a four year old steer, for the English market, weighing 1,775 lbs. This is the first beast bought in the townshp for shipment abroad.</p><p><br>TOP, Feb. 23, 1883- LOVERING- Mr. W.D. Lovering adverti ses for tenders for the erection of a place of worship for the Methodists of Matchedash. He has been collecting for the purpose, both in his own neighbourhood and in Orillia town, with very gratifying success. He headed the list himself with $100.& lt;/p><p><br>DITTO- - LOVERING- Our ex- Councillor does not droop as some after defeat. On the 16th instant he entertained a select few of his friends and relatives to a social and supper, and appeared as convivial and happy as in hi s palmiest days in office. The evening was spent in a most enjoyable manner. Mrs. and the Misses Lovering elicited deserved ecominums, not less for their affability than for the sumptuous repast they provided their guests. After justice had been do ne the festive board, the Model Farm, Guelph, its utility and management, was discussed and criticised. The subject of a separate Council for Matchedash received its airing without one contrary wind. A few political hits were given and encountere d in good part, and then the company repaired to the parlour, where the Misses Lovering, presiding at the organ, did much to beguile the flitting hour, and enchant the audience with music sweet and lyric songs. In the &quot;wee small hours& quot; snapdragon was served up. The variety of the treat, and the hilarious way it was relixhed, went far to prove that our host, notwithstanding a long residence in Canada amid trials and reverses, still retains British blood in his veins.</p&g t;<p>TOP, Oct 8, 1886- MATCHEDASH- The post-office was removed from Mr. W.D. Lovering&#39;s to Mr. E.W. Kitchen&#39;s on Saturday of last week.</p><p><br>The Orillia Packet, April 29, 1887- LOVERING- Mr. W.D. Loverin g has leased his farm to his sons, and purposes removing to the vicinity of some town- probably Orillia. This township will miss Mr. Lovering. It is sometimes said farming does not pay in Canada, but Mr. Lovering came here and settled on a bush far m, has made it pay for itself, has brought up a family of ten respectably and comfortably, and has enough left to live on for the remainder of his life. These are facts which prove farming can be made pay in Matchedash, at least.</p><p> TOP, Nov. 25, 1887- MATCHEDASH- The new municipality of Matchedash will have to select a Reeve and a Council to manage affairs, and it would be wise to select a man for head of that body with some municipal experience. I would suggest Mr. W.D. Love ring as a person that would fill the bill exactly.</p><p><br>TOP, April 13, 1888- MATCHEDASH- I am sorry that our neighbor, Mr. W.D. Lovering, has lost a valuable horse in a short sickness.</p><p>TOP, July 6, 1888- COL DWATER- Generally speaking the crops are in grand condition, especially in Matchedash. The hay will be very heavy. Mr. W.D. Lovering, who has previously grown some one hundred and fifty tons, states that he is sure he will get over two hundred ton s off the same quantity of land. Potatoes are also looking well, more than usual, I hear, having been planted.</p><p><br>TOP, March 1, 1889- MATCHEDASH- Mr. W.D. Lovering, J.P., of this township, is not what is called a scientifi c farmer, but he furnishes a good instance of what may be done in a quiet way, in this remote part of Ontario. His farm comprises three hundred acres, of which sixty is timberland. Last season he sold a hundred and fifty tons of hay, and $400 wort h of horned stock. He has yet fifty head of stock, including sheep, and fodder enough for the season even should spring be late. Outside this he has sold more than enough dairy produce, and other farm products to cover the whole expenses of maintai ning the farm, attending to stock &amp;c. In addition to all this, he had three thousand bushels of oats to dispose of. A record like this should encourage industrious young farmers not only to stick to their farm, but to remain in Ontario, whe re judicious labour is so well rewarded, and the discomforts and drawbacks of pioneer life all past.</p><p>TOP, April 5, 1889- Mr. W.D. Lovering, of Lovering, has a tame bear which he keeps in a sort of pig pen. It frightened a Coldwate r jeweller nearly to death last week.</p><p>TOP, Sept. 4, 1896- Mr. E.W. Kitchen and Mr. W.D.

It is a combination of iron piping and wire, and while not exceedingly expensive presents an attrac tive appearance.</p><p>TOP, April 14, 1898- Mr. W.D. Lovering and his class of boys had a pleasant drive to Waubaushene last Monday afternoon.</p><p>TOP, Dec. 8, 1898- COLDWATER- Mr. W.D. Lovering, ever ready to avail himsel f of the latest conveniences in his pretty residence, Blenheim, has decided to have an acetylene gas plant installed. Again it is a Niagara Falls machine.</p><p>TOP, Dec. 27, 1900- COLDWATER- Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Lovering celebrated thei r golden wedding on Friday last. We are pleased to say that Mr. and Mrs. Lovering are hale and hearty and their is every prospect of their being spared for many years to come. The Planet joins a large circle of friends in congratulating them on hav ing reached their golden anniversary. It is unnecessary to state that the couple were the recipients of many thoughtful presents.</p><p>TOP, June 20, 1901- COLDWATER- While standing on the side of the road, Mr. W.D. Lovering&#39;s h orse took fright and jumped on a pile of stone, where it managed to break the traces and get away from the buggy.

Lovering, of Coldwater, following his custom for many years back, came down to Orillia y esterday to celebrate his eighty-second birthday, bringing with him one of his many grandsons, whose birthday happens to come on the same day. Mr. Lovering is still active and vigorous, and we wish him many happy returns of the day.</p><p& gt;TOP, May 21, 1908- Mr. W.D. Lovering and his son William, of Coldwater, are off on a trip to California.</p><p>TOP, July 30, 1908- Mr. W.D. Lovering and his son William, of Coldwater, have returned from their trip to California.</ p><p>TOP, June 16, 1910- Mr. W.D.

Mr. Lovering still moves about like a youngster, and is as bright and strong mentally as he is physically. It is now sixty-nine years since Mr. Lovering came, with his father&#39;s family, to Orillia, and a t that time there was not a frame house in the village. The changes which have come in the comparatively short period since 1842 are truely marvelous- steamships, railways, telegraph, telephone, electric light and power, and last of all, the long l ooked for air ship. The Packet hopes to see Mr. Lovering here again on June 5th, 1912, as fresh as ever.</p><p>The Orillia Packet, June 6, 1912- Mr. W.D. Lovering, of Coldwater, was in Orillia yesterday, hale and hearty, on his 87th bir thday.

After a rest on the couch he revived for a time and talked to his family, although he did not realize that he had a stroke. In the evening he became unconscious and did not rally again.</p><p><br>Mr . Lovering was born at St. Cullums, County of Cornwall, England, on the fifth of June, 1825, and was therefore in his 93rd year. The family came to Canada in 1843 on a small brig of 250 tons, called the John and Mary, the voyage lasting two months . When they landed at Montreal his mother was too ill to go further and he was sent on to Kingston with the other children. His mother died at Montreal and was buried there. From Kingston the family came to the Township of Medonte, where they endur ed the usual privations of pioneer days. In 1850 deceased married Catharine Hamilton of Hillsdale, the daughter of a veteran of Waterloo. For a few years he was engaged in the milling business and lumbering. Later he took up farming in the Townshi p of Matchedash, where he spent a successful and prosperous career. Twenty two years ago he retired and moved to Coldwater, where he enjoyed the evening of his life amongst his relatives and friends. In religion he was a Methodist and in politics a n uncomprising Liberal and a reader of the Globe for sixty years. Sixteen years ago he went with three of his brothers to see the land of his birth, and they had a most delightful trip together visiting many places of interest to them.<br>Mr .
