"Edward, the 11 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Porritt of Seymour Lake, was severely injured Friday afternoon when he fell from a wagon in which he was riding and the rear wheel passed over the body. A doctor was summoned and it was found no bones were broken although it was feared he might be injured internally"
From the Orion Weekly Review, August 8, 1947.
"The Middleton Dairy has been purchased by Edward Porritt of Clarkston and the milk processing machinery is to be moved to the present Porritt Dairy on the Orion-Clarkston road, near the Grand Trunk R.R. Cleon Middleton, who has operated the Dairy during the past 17 years, is retaining the Ice Cream Manufacturing end of the business and will devote his entire time to this product. Mr. Middleton has contributed much to the dairy business over the past several years, erecting the building which houses the plant in 1938 and enlarging the facilities. The Porritt Dairy has been in continuous operation since 1921 when it was founded by Lee Porritt, father of the present owner. The son, Edward, purchased the business from his father in 1933 and has operated it continuously ever since. Mr. Porritt advises that machinery for making pressed paper milk bottles is being installed and will be in operation about January 1st, 1948. Both parties agreed that the recent tendency of a business of this character toward specialization made the new arrangements advisable."
Information from Diane Curry.
"Edward Lee Porritt's nickname was "Dud". Everyone knew him by this and very rarely referred to him by his given name. This nickname was given to him as a young boy by the workhands on his parent's farm. For some reason they started calling him "Dudley". It was eventually shortened to "Dud" and stuck with him the rest of his life.".
