1 CONC Alexander Parry farmed on the 27th Sideroad, north and west of town.  He w
1 CONC as on the farm October 14, 1883 when William Donaldson, Postmaster, broug
1 CONC ht him a startling telegram.  His nephew, Henry Parry, was dead and he w
1 CONC as asked to notify the young man's folks.  Henry was  24 years old and h
1 CONC ad left Toronto to work at the Lyceum Theater in Chicago.  He died of suff
1 CONC ocation in a small room on the third floor of the building during one of C
1 CONC hicago's blazing theatre fires.  Mr Parry's diary simply says: "Oc
1 CONC t. 13 - Henry died."  Later Mr. Parry retired to a fine brick house in to
1 CONC wn on Anne Street.  It was while he was on a trip to Portage la Prairie, M
1 CONC anitoba that another interesting occurrence took place.  From The Beave
1 CONC r, Tuesday, September 22, 1908: "A recent issue of the Winnipeg Free Pre
1 CONC ss tells of an adventure which befell Mr. Alex. Parry, of this village, w
1 CONC ho is at present travelling in the West, while stopping at a hotel in Port
1 CONC age, la Prairie.  During the night, while Mr. Parry was peacefully slumber
1 CONC ing, some bold, bad man entered his room and swiped his breeches.  Nor w
1 CONC as this the worst.  The thief neglected to fell in the pockets before depa
1 CONC rting with his booty, and so forgot to leave behind him $40 which was in o
1 CONC ne of them."  (from Hillsburg's Heyday, by Patricia Kortland)
