   D'ARCY CASKEY Another Town man who had a great deal of musical ability was D'Arcy Caskey. He was in a Glee Club for years and many a pleasant evening we spent in the home on Davy Street. I don't know of any of that Club who are still in the land of the living except myself. D'Arcy was a gifted fellow in many ways. He was with his brother-in-law, Jim Skelton, in the old Niagara Times for a time, besides being a pretty fair farmer. Owing to a breakdown in health, he gave up his work with the paper and took to carpentering at which he was good. He served St. Andrews for years in the Choir as its leader and afterwards served Grace Church in a similar capacity. We among us expanded our Glee Club into a Choral Society, of which Mr. Caskey was Musical Director and I was President. D'Arcy's last sphere of usefulness was as Librarian of our Public Library, which office he filled until the Grim Reaper terminated a long and useful life.

   That brought D'Arcy between us on the stage. We knew D'Arcy was ticklish, so when we got under way, first one of us and then the other, would give poor D'Arcy a poke and we had him dancing all over the stage, while the audience shrieked with laughter.
