Looking for Any Centriller Public School Class Photos from 1954 to 1958 Mary (Hunnius) Beacock has asked if we can find anyone with a class photo from Centriller Public School from 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957 or 1958. She is looking for any photo of her deceased sister, Beate Hunnius, who attended the school in those years. The Hunnius family lived first in Oakville, then moved to Bronte where they lived on Triller Street, just kitty-corner to Centriller Public School. They liv...ed in an apartment in the house owned by the Lang family. Mary says, "I believe Janey Lang was my sister Bea's friend." Bea was 8 in 1954 so a Grade 2 or Grade 3 photo from 1954, and so on through the years, might include her. The family then moved to a farm on Rebecca Street, and shared a house with the Dorsch family. Mary's Dad, Ernie Hunnius, often talked about the farm which had "orchards there with apples, pears, plums, cherries." They could harvest what they wanted. Ernie Hunnius worked for Main Lumber in Oakville, then later went to Lansing on Speers Road, which became Rona, working for them combined for the better part of 30 years or perhaps even more. He retired from Lansing in about 1983. He is in his 90's now. Please directly contact [email protected] if you have a photograph that might assist her search. Thank you.
