  . Canadian WW I Draft Recruit Albert John Gibson, 139 Mavely St, Toronto, Born Cataract, Ontario, Trade, Trainman, Next of Kin, Mrs. Mary Gibson, Cataract P.O., Ontario Height 5 f 4.½ inches., Fair hair, blue eyes, Fair complexion. Scar on first 4 fingers on left hand. . John Albert Gibson was born at the Forks of the Credit (river). No physician present at the birth. There were present Jane Partherno? who acted as mid-wife. Witn. Aunt, Mrs. Louise Black. Notes: Reminder this was sleigh-weather in the depths of a very hilly ravine. The Forks are in the midst of an extraordinarily beautiful valley with cedar trees all around & abounding in wildlife & fish. Sometimes you could fish for trout along the narrow road water filled ditches. In the early 1950's when we took the 'short cut' through the Forks of the Credit get to the Village of Erin, there was a narrow one way road winding its way through the valley, following the Credit River. On both sides cedar trees would brushed the car. Fortunately one didn't often encounter another car because it would have been hair raising to meet another can on the twist on the hills. On the crest was a small railway station sitting just before the rail tracks ran across the steep wooden trestle. - P J Ahlberg 2010. - - -
