• Notes

  Anthony and his brothers and sisters worked on the homestead located in an area on the Lake Huron side of the Bluewater highway north of Lloyd Etue's house. After getting married in 1934, Anthony & Mary first lived on the Bluewater highway on a small farm on the corner of Ken Etue's farm. Betty was born in 1935 on this farm. They moved Hay Township, Huron County to a farm on the Babylon Line. In 1941 Peter was born in the farm house on the Babylon Line. After her passing, Mary was lay out in the living room as was the custom in those days. Betty was 6 years old at the time. Anthony left the farm during the war and started working at RCAF Station Centralia, south of Exeter as a 5th Class Stationery Engineer shovelling coal by hand until the automatic feed augers were installed. During the summer months her cut gras on the Station grounds and in the winter he plowed snow on the streets and runways. At times they used hugh snow blowers which often lead to some interesting "accidents"! More than one aircraft lost their wing during the stormy nights when visabiliy was poor and the drone of the snowblower moving ever so slowly lead to disaster. Grass cutting and snowblowing was also carried out at Grand Bend airport by the same crews. Anthony & Dorothy first lived in Goderich on Trafalgar Street, Hincks Street and Elgin Avenue. He worked at RCAF Station Centralia as a Stationery Engineer 5th class and 4th Class transferring to RCAF Station Clinton as a Stationery Engineer 4th Class. They moved to Stratford some time between 1962-64 where Tony worked at Blackstone's as a Stationery Engineer 4th Class. In 1967 they moved to London and lived on Mornington Avenue for 4 years moving to 785 Fleet Street in 1971. Tony worked at Mount St. Joseph Mother house, Richmond Street, North as a Stationery Engineer 4th Class upgrading to 3rd Class during his employment. He also worked as a part time caretaker of Blessed Sacrement Catholic Church on Oxford Street in London.
