REID, Melville 1912 – 1988
His wife, Stella M Seaborn 1915 – 2004 s/o William Seaborn & Mahala Peters Seaborn of Gilmour.
Melville and Stella were my next door neighbours to the west, and lived in a house close to the Deer River bridge. Melville worked on road construction for many years. He drove to Bancroft with Herb Keller during the week, as the men worked in the mines, for which Bancroft is now famous. He and Stella had two boys: Bill & Mark. Bill moved to British Columbia. Mark, now retired as caretaker of the local Public School, took over the home place and lives there to this day. Stella was a great homemaker and cook and made delicious pies, especially pumpkin. What a treat when she would give one to Mom occasionally. I remember her fridge magnets, possibly influencing me to collect the same over a life-time. Stella moved to the Manor in Bancroft in her last years.
