2. Poem written By John Barge of Rugby England who had adopted Frank Mundye Wharton:
    "Little Frank and I"
a poem by Frank Mundye Barge's adopted father John Barge
    I'm getting old and feeble now,
    And love my easy chair
    When seated there I feel somehow
    Relief from toil and care.

    When'er I place myself in it,
    One little form is near
    Hand if in silence I would sit
    I may not linger there.

    A little curly headed boy
    That plays about my feet
    His heart so light, so full of joy
    His little voice so sweet.

    When weary sometimes I recline
    There comes a fond appeal
    His little hand so placed in mine
    It's gentle touch I feel.

    And if no notice I would take
    Tis urged with childish force
    His winsome ways I can't mistake
    So I must yield of course.

    He gets me down upon my knees
    To play with him bow-bow,
    If I refuse my hand he'll seize
    And stoops to show me how.

    And if on the couch I sometime lay
    And think to have a doze,
    He comes to beckon me away
    Before mine eyes are closed.

    He wants to ride upon my back
    And say " come up Gee-gee"
    Or up the chimmey calls for Jack
    Then laughs with childish glee.

    If gloomy thoughts their shadows cast
    Upon my weary soul
    It is not long these shadows last
    He'll chase them all away.

    He does not know my eyes are dim
    That I am nearly blind,
    And yet it seems to puzzle him,
    If the place I cannot find.

    He wants to make me understand
    And very hard he tries
    He pats me with his little hand
    And looks into my eyes.

    Or round my neck his arm enfolds
    And bends my head to see
    Although he's scarcely two years old
    He thus amuses me.

    If aught disturbs his little mind
    And tears will sometimes flow
    He comes to me and seeks to find ,
    Some solace for his woe.

    His simple faith and trusting love
    Rebukes my anxious care
    So I would go to One above
    And lose my sorrows there.

    If sorrow comes or false alarms
    Or aught awakes his fears
    He runs to my encircling arms
    And trusts for safety there.

    Thus through the day he plays about
    Nor seems to care for rest,
    Till night comes on, when wearied out
     He seeks it on my breast.

    Then "Daddy" finds his little toes,
    And gives him loving kisses
    Then off to bed content he goes
    To dream of future bliss.

    Tis not my child, nor kith nor kin,
    Yet he is dear to me
    I think of one so much like him
    And what he used to be.

    A fair haired boy and curly too
    With lips so sweet
    His sparkling eyes of azure blue
    And little pattering feet.

    I think of his brief childish days
    And what he used to be
    Of all his winning ways
    And how I loved him too.

    I think of what he may be now
    Among the seraph throng
    In hole reverence there to bow
    And join with them in song.

    Before the throne of God above
    There with the children blest
    In that bright peaceful home of love
    Forever there to rest.

    And I am waiting here below
    To hear my Father's voice
    Then to that home I too shall go
    And with the blest rejoice.

    And then I hope someday to meet,
    This little Frank as well,
    With him to sit at Jesus' feet
    His wonderous love to tell.
        Copied March 29, 1958 by Clara Shute.

2. Bracebridge Gazette Feb. 4, 1897 Housey's Rapids " Our quarterly school examination was attended by a large number of pupils chaperoned thitherby a goodly number of their "Uncles" and their cousins, whom they number by the dozens, and their aunts." The pupils displayed much proficiency in the various subjects they had studied. Mrs. John Miles examined the pupils. The conducting of the spelling contest we consider a distinguished act of bravery. For our own part we would as soon be judge at a baby show, or walk up to the mouth of a canon as spell down the average school. However our "Academy of book larning," being much above the average, the following pupils could not be spelled down in their respective classes: V-Maude Brooks, Maud Ruttan, IV-Allie Tylor, III Hughey Brooks, Lily Hogue, II-Ralph Miles, Aggie Hill, Ethel Brooks, Florence Goheen, Florence Ruttan.
