Our number was 252 and Aunty Winall had 282. The house was closed May 14, 1917 and the phone disconnected for the duration. When I returned from the war and asked for service the manager mentioned some number - not 252. It was then, and only then, I made a plea as a returned soldier serving our country and was granted the old familiar #252, which was retained until a new numbering system was adopted for the entire city about 1947<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>The record of telephone communication for 121 Prairie St. would not be complete without mentioning the unique device installed by my father in 1881 at the time Grandfather had the library and large bedroom added - (the property was a wedding present from James Wallis to his only son John William and Mary Burton Wallis, Nov. 23, 1881). A wire was stretched from Grandfather’s bedroom (now the Winall House), to Mother’s bedroom. At each end of the wire a strange box was concave front and a round button provided a one-way conversation. By tapping on the metal button a clicking noise would call someone to the so -called phone and a back and forth conversation could be carried on. The contraption was still in place in my childhood and I can remember tapping and hoping for an answer. For a widow with four babies the assurance of contact with Grandfather was comforting.
