Paine family to leave Torbay Junction for new home
Mr J Paine and family longtime residents prepare to relocate as their new residence at Torbay is being built. The Paine men served in the Great War with Gallipoli and other theaters, while J Paine Sr. kept the Torbay Junction to Denmark line. A peace celebration is planned for July 19 with a children’s procession, fancy dress, and sports at the Government school, followed by tea and a concert. The event aims to unite the district, with about £3 already raised for prizes and conferring medals.
