       for a while but subsequently learned the blacksmith's trade
       and from January, 1884, to January, 1887, operated his father's

       for himself. During the last few years he has also done some 
       farming. MR. AITKEN served three terms as town treasurer of 
       Nelson township, and was a member of the district school board
