50 Years Ago ~ 1963
The Village of Middleville has secured a place in the White House in Washington, D.C. Its representative is an old rocking chair, estimated to be about 123 years old, once the property of the late Jean Rankin. The chair was sold by Mrs. Donald Somerville, who resides in the former Rankin home, to the McKendry Antique Shop in Perth. There it was picked up by an antique buyer, who gave it to his friend, Prime Minister Pearson, who was going to visit President John F Kennedy.
