It is believe that Mr. Cardot is the oldest resident in the Town of Mina.Mr. Cardot says of this winter, “I believe it is the worst one I ever remember — not just for snow — maybe other winters have had just as much, but for winds, extremes of temperatures, way below zero one day, then up to 25 or 30 above the next day, then 40 below and more the next — all this has made a difficult winter.”And again, says he, “There is a January thaw, always, in normal winter, but n^t this year. When it comes a little warmer, the depth of snow on roof of buildings is wreaking havoc.Yes, March 3 was the 12th Sunday in a row that has been snowy and stormy.However, Mr. Cardot, e v e uStocktonofHireinsFire Destroys ?nd Floor ofFred Bull Homeand IV and A dren o Frank Mrs. daughl with 1 Wills Mr. and cl the he L.‘ Wf Miss were lt;Doris burg.Mr. and cl John ' Saturc Sout will it 16, atCIIAUNCY CARDOTSilvStalor-lit-h e okay,in-STOCKTON, — The s e c o n 1 floor of the home of Fred Bui), Mill street, was destroyed by firs Saturday evening after an over heated chimney caused the wail to become ignited.Fred Bull Jr., had completed the chores and was backing the tractor into the barn when he noticed the flames. He called the Stockton Fire department, and Chief Noel Ames and 15 men responded.A 21.2-inch line from the creek and two lVi-inch lines from the Stockton tanker were used to battle the blaze. Chief Ames called for the Fredonia tanker, and the truck and several volunteers responded immediately and stood by.The entire second floor and the contents were lost in the blaze.though he’has had to stay inside much of the time, has occupied himself in various ways. Just before the snow got too deep to get out to the shop, he completed a hall tree for' some friends. Since then he has watched TV, has r*ad the papers, and he plays solitaire much of the time. And whenever some of the Mortons have time to play checkers he joins them in this old time game.He doesn’t live in the past—far from it. If anyone asks questions concerning the happenings of the long ago, he gives some very interesting stories of those days, but he is right up to the minute on world events to today.And now, he has his garden seeds on hand and is waiting so that he may get his garden under way.Mr. Cardot was born in the Town of Arkwright almost a century ago, and has relatives, grand nieces and grand nephews, there today. His father was Jacob Cardot, and his mother was Roxie Thatcher Cardot. There were four sons in the family, but Mr. Cardot is the last living member of his immediate family. Mr. Cardot has been with the Mortons for several years.IssuSIL’ lice i tion : durinf Riel gola,tinctbbeforeJustic11.ArnSilvering £cle, Hano’ Ward Ron Lake’ ficien peace Marc!Bri; Jame to a[ Marc passe Roj Collin failur was befor Peaci Marc
