From the research of Earl Hastings: Samuel Thomas Hastings was raised at Lemonville and Norland, Ontario. He received little formal education, spending his youth working as a millwright and carpenter in his father’s mill at Elliots Falls. Of all Adam’s sons it was Sam that was closest to the father. It was Sam that Adam called first in 1888 to come to Indian Head in the North West to assist in building a house for the family. It was Sam who helped the father and other family members prove the homestead. It was Sam and his family who were living beside Adam and his wife Alice in Rouleau when he died in 1910.

290	August 12, 1926: "Henry Ford, the world's richest man, was a Sebewaing visitor Monday afternoon, having driven over from Harbor Beach where he is staying at his summer home.

E. Wurm, whose candidacy for state senator from this district was tentatively announced several weeks ago, has definitely withdrawn from the race. Besides supervising the extensive business of the automobile firm of J. E. Wurm and Co. and the Scenic Oil Co., he owns and personally looks after several farms and the press of his diversified business has prompted him in announcing his withdrawal. Dr. Wurm is quoted in the Sebewaing Blade as saying: "Never having personally made an announcement of my candidacy, I feel I will not be displeasing my many friends who had urged me to become a candidate, to all of whom I am grateful for their interest in urging me to consent to run. But I have taken on new responsibilities recently, which demand my personal attention, and which, together with my business interests in general, would suffer were I to enter the primary campaign. So I am out of it for good." Dr. Wurm's withdrawal up to the present time, leaves Samuel H. Pangburn, Verona township farmer and chairman of the Huron County Republican committee, alone in the field for the office.	Wurm, Dr. John Edward (I12258)
