Early wagon traveller praised road

As pioneer roads go, the route from Brockville to Perth which split at the hamlet of Forthton (Unionville) was ‘excellent’ in the opinion of a wagon traveller of 1816.

Lt.Col. William Cockburn made a long journey in March of that year from Kingston to Brockville via the “King’s Highway” which followed the route of old No. 2 Highway, and from Brockville travelled north to Stone Mills now Delta.

He wrote: “From Brockville to Stone Mills a distance of 26 miles, the road is excellent. From thence to Lindsay’s House, which stands on the edge of the Rideau (apparently near the modern village of Newboro) the road is not so good, but even this part of it is practicable for a wagon [sic] during the summer”. (Recorder & Times Feb 9, 1978)

The 1000 Island Parkway from Brockville to Long Beach was built in 1936-37 by the Standard Paving Co. of Ottawa. George Fulford was responsible for pushing legislation to get this road constructed all the way to Gananoque. In 1937  Campbell Construction of Lansdowne won the contract to complete the Long Beach to Gananoque portion of the parkway. Fulford lost his seat in parliament and due to the high costs of construction only the south lanes were completed. (Darling scrapbook no 4 pg 89)

 

 

 

 

Brockville to North Augusta Road

The original trail from Brockville to North Augusta was a mere path through the woods. Later this path developed into a stage road and stage coaches appeared running from Brockville to North Augusta. The stage driver had a loud horn beside him, and as he passed every farmhouse, he would blow a long blast on the horn. His passengers would come running and climb aboard. North Augusta Road was once a toll road. A toll gate was set up at the “Long Swamp” south of the community and the fees were one cent per single horse and two cents for a team. The toll house once operated by Charlie Fox was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt. Tolls passed out of existence before the outbreak of the First Great War.

 

Highway 29

Early in its history this was a toll road, with toll gates spotted at strategic points. The road became the Victoria Macadamized (1) highway in 1852. Work was started in 1837, but ten years later only a couple of miles at the Brockville end had been completed. The United Counties Council of 1847 pushed through a bill under which the road was built, and the road was completed to Smiths Falls in 1852. The tolls were collected for a number of years after, finally passing out of existence in the 1880’s. (R&T, Darling Scrapbook 3 pg 91)

(1) Macadamized: to construct or finish (a road) by compacting into a solid mass a layer of small broken stone on a convex well-drained roadbed and using a binder (as cement or asphalt) for the mass

Stagecoaches

 Stagecoaches were a popular, if uncomfortable, means of early transportation between towns. Along each route there were rest stops where horses were changed and passengers could eat, drink and even spend the night if they so desired. The Hamlet of Manhard was one such stop on the road between Brockville and North Augusta.

Brockville and Westport Railroad

Origins of the B&W Railroad

 The crying desperate need for a better communications system linking the Rideau country and the St. Lawrence River led to the birth of the Brockville and Westport Railway.

B&W Engine 66 PAB 13 F12 #1
Brockville Station on Church Street Engine No. 66

On March 4th, 1888 the first train completed its maiden trip from Westport to Brockville. For 64 years, the railway served Leeds well and faithfully until hard times forced its closure in 1952.

While the railway was not completed until 1888, the germ of the idea for the system was actually born 18 years earlier, in Farmersville, now the village of Athens.

A group of Farmersville folk began talking about a rail line connecting the Rideau and Brockville in 1870. By 1874, they were gathering funds for the project, but they failed to get the financing they sought. Their project died on the drawing board.

In 1882 a colourful railroad character named Robert G. Hervey arrived in Brockville from New York. He was representing the Knickerbocker Trust Company of New York City, a firm noted for investing in projects for which funding was hard to secure.

Hervey was an engineer, a crackerjack fund raiser and a go-getter, a man who always set his goal and then reached it. After examining the situation and analyzing the financial possibilities, Hervey decided that a Brockville and Westport Railway was feasible. Accordingly he set about aising funds.

Hervey’s idea was ambitious, for he projected a railway starting in Brockville, travelling across Leeds County to Rideau, hitting Westport and then streaking through the heavily timbered north of the Rideau heading for Sault Ste.Marie.

He moved up and down the route of the proposed line, talking to township councils, village officials, leading citizens and the average man in the street.

All communities along the line readily agreed to pitch in, with the result that Hervey was able to start construction in 1885. Hervey, the fund raiser, then turned railway builder. He got the contract, backed by the Knickerbocker Company and the B&W began to take shape.

In those days, Kingston Locomotive Works built nearly all railway locomotives used in Canada. So Hervey ordered his engines from Kingston.

The Rideau Canal, busy with its freight business, proved to be a lifesaver. With no railway line connecting Kingston and Westport, there was no way an engine could be driven to the new line. Hervey solved the problem by hiring a barge to bring the engine to Westport via the Rideau Canal. Around March 1, 1888, the first locomotive rode proudly into Westport aboard a Rideau Canal barge. A horse drawn flatbed hauled it from the lake to the Westport station.

On March 4, the historic journey began in Westport. Leading a group of Westport citizens aboard the train, were three prominent Westport businessman, W.H. Fredenburgh, G.E.Adams and H.W.Lockwood. Until the line was built Westport’s only means of transport to Brockville was via the stagecoach. Stagecoaches made daily runs both ways, though the roads were mere wagon trails, hot and dusty in summer, cool and rutted in spring and fall, and virtually impassable in winter.

Hervey was never able to extend his railway from Westport to Sault Ste Marie, since his construction funds ran out.

Though it was a painfully slow journey, with numerous stops along the way, the B&W became the most popular mode of transportation from Rideau to Brockville.

Hervey’s fund raising had a hand in the numerous stops. Each community that raised funds was guaranteed a station in return for donations.

Thus the route touched Newboro, Crosby, Philipsville, Delta, Lyndhurst, Athens, Glen Elbe, Unionville (Forthton), Glen Buell, Seeley and Lyn before the final run into Brockville.

The B&W carried business people, picnickers and high school students, as well as an assortment of freight. A monthly pass cost $5. and Mary McCann of Westport used to recall riding the B&W to school in Athens. She would board the train in Crosby and after high school closed for the day, would board the train in Athens for the trip home.

At one time approximately 100 high school students rode to classes daily on the B&W. Students from Lyn and Athens used the train to attend Brockville Collegiate Institute.

Daily the B&W carried mail from Westport to Brockville, dropping off sacks of mail along the way. Brockville mail was carried on the late afternoon train. The railway also had its special days. Tuesday was set aside as “Excursion” day for trips into Brockville. Friday was “cheese day” when cheese from half a dozen cheese factories in Leeds was placed aboard to go to the cheese exchange in Brockville for grading and sale to other points. Saturday was “livestock day” when cattle cars were added to the train to carry cattle, sheep and pigs to market in Brockville.

In 1910, the Knickerbocker Trust sold the railway to the Canadian Government, apparently well aware that revenue would decline in view of the rising popularity of the automobile and competition from trucking firms hauling freight.

Under government control the B&W did well for a decade or so then the line began losing money. The Canadian National Railways took over the line but it still lost money.

After a half million dollars in deficits in six years 1945-51, the CNR decided to abandon the venture. The line was closed down in 1952. (Recorder and Times, various editions)

Within Elizabethtown the B&W had four stops, it started at the Church Street Brockville Station, then on to Lyn, then a stop at Seeley, Glen Buell and Unionville (Forthton) before leaving Elizabethtown for its next stop at Glen Elbe.

Memories of the B&W Railroad

When the rail line closed in 1952, the old steel rails were taken up and sold to the Gillette Razor Blade Company. Americans and Canadians shaved for years on B&W Steel.

The old roadbed was dismantled, the log ties sold to farmers and the raised sections bulldozed over. In a few places between Brockville and Westport the old roadbed can still be seen intact, but minus the rails and logs.

Though the old B&W train was highly popular with pic-nickers and tourists it gave a slow tedious journey to the businessman.

The line was only 45 miles in length, but the train took a minimum of two hours and 40 minutes to travel from Brockville to Westport, and much longer if weather conditions were poor. The train made 16 stops en route, including two for water for the steam engine. One of the water towers was installed at Lyn. The early wooden coaches were supplied with hard heavy-framed seats, with a thin covering of straw of horsehair, held down by slippery, hard leather covers. Later the coaches were equipped with plush covered seats.

One of the famous trains of the old B&W Railway was the “Jitney”, a coach especially designed to carry students to and from high schools along the rail line. The ‘Jitney” consisted of a standard railway coach with a built in diesel engine for propulsion. The coach carried Westport students south to high school as far away as Athens. Probably the most famous passenger was “Jitney” Jim Lyons of Westport. He was born aboard the Jitney in 1927. He was the son of Frank and Bedelia Lyons. His mother was unaware that the birth was impending when she boarded the coach.

Don Fulford of Athens has fond memories of the old B&W:

“I remember when I used to visit my brother at Soperton, I would tell the conductor where I had to get off. I would board at Athens and when we approached Soperton, the train would stop at my brother’s pasture and I would get off. The conductor asked me when I was going back and I told him. He said he would have the whistle blown to let me know the train was stopping, and I would board the train right there.”

“They were pretty good to nursing mothers too. If a baby aboard the train needed milk the train would stop at a farmer’s field, the engineer and fireman would get off with a pail, milk a cow and bring the bucket of warm milk back to the baby’s mother.”

“It was also a common occurrence to stop and pick berries in season. The train crew and passengers would get out and fill buckets and pails with berries from the fields.”

In the big snowstorm of 1931, the B&W locomotive buried itself in a huge snowdrift at Forthton, and was stuck for hours. “You couldn’t see anything but the back end sticking out of the drift. In those days there were no snowplows, but a big rotary plow had just been delivered to Brockville. This plow came up the B&W line and plowed out the engine.” (Recorder & Times, Darling Scrapbook 4, pg 97)

When the Brockville and Westport Railway was built a small station was erected at Glen Elbe, a mile north of Forthton. Old timers used to pay 10¢ to ride from Glen Elbe into Athens. (Recorder & Times Feb 9, 1978)

“Edna’s Scrapbook”

is a paperback book written by Edna B. Chant and was published in 1998. Edna Chant was a reported with the “Athens Reporter” for 23 years and she is the author of four books.

Her book, which is made up of news clippings from various sources, from which we have taken excerpts, gives us a glimpse into life in our area for over a hundred year period ending with stories from 1975.

While her book covers many areas of Leeds and Grenville we have only focused on the area within Elizabethtown-Kitley Township.

 

B&W Railroad

The Brockville and Westport Railway, known simply as the B&W was a great boon to the County of Leeds. The company which was also empowered to operate a steamboat on the St. Lawrence River and Rideau received its charter on Feb 15, 1871, but nothing further came of the project until March 25, 1884, when a new project was launched to build a railway from Brockville to Westport and from there to the shore of Georgian Bay, and from there to Sault Ste Marie. The line like many other ventures of that period, never reached its objective. However by March, 1886, the lie was completed to Lyn Junction, and by July 1st, it reached to Brockville. But no funds were forthcoming from the Provincial Government. For the first decade of operations the B&W earned a surplus, and things looked bright, but expenses were so high the company became known as “The Bad Wages and Seldom See Money Railway”. It was take over by an American Trust Co. in 1903, and by 1910 the owners put it up for sale. On Dec 14, 1911 it became part of the Canadian Northern System. It serviced Brockville, Lyn, Forthton, Athens, Delta, Phillipsville, Crosby, Newboro and Westport. But the line lost money with the increase of cars, buses and trucks until at the end of June 1952 service was suspended. Ne last train pulled into Brockville on August 30. On Friday, August 14 1964, a plaque commemorating the railway was unveiled at Westport near the former railway station, with several prominent persons present. The unveiling was done by S.J.Sully, former Westport stationmaster for 37 years. “Sid”, as he was called by everyone, loved his job and every task received his personal attention. If you ask any of the older residents of Westport what they miss most in the present era, their answer will likely be “We sure miss the old B&W.” It seems that Westport has never been the same since they lost the railroad. To the younger generation it is only a name They can show you where the tracks used to be, but they never knew the thrill of hearing the whistle, or the excitement of watching the train chug up to the station, and unloading the varied cargo of passengers and express.

On March 4 1888 the first train ran over the B&W tracks. Nineteen passengers travelled from Brockville to Westport on the B&W on March 12th, 1888 and reported an enjoyable trip. For the time being, the train will go up the line one day and return down the line the following day. Much work still has to be done but all have reason to be proud of what was accomplished so far.

Excerpts from:

The Athen’s Reporter, as they pertain to the B&W Railroad

February 12th, 1889 

A passenger on the B&W Stage last Wednesday had one of her heels frozen.

 March 12th, 1889

A large force of men have been shovelling out the snow drifts on the B&W during the past five or six days. On Sunday night a heavy freight train arrived here from Lyn. The line was this morning clear of snow from Westport to a point three miles east of Athens, and it is expected that regular trains will be running again tomorrow.

March 19th, 1889 

The snow blockade on the B&W which was raised on Sunday of last week was followed by a further blockade by the G.T.R. refusing to allow the B&W to pass over their line from Lyn to Brockville until a settlement was effected of the large account due them. Manager Hervey came down with the “Spot Cash” and was also able to secure a further lease of running powers over the G.T.R. line until such time as the B&W track shall be laid on the two miles yet unfinished. Traffic was resumed on the road on Saturday (Inst.) and regular trains are now running over the road on scheduled time. Contractor Knowlton of Newboro passed down yesterday to make arrangements for outing down the rails on the two miles yet unfinished.

March 26th, 1889 

It is said that arrangements are almost completed for finishing the laying of the track on the B&W from Brockville to Lyn. The iron for the overhead bridge will probably be on the ground this week. If these rumours are correct, another month will see that section of the road in running trim.

 April 2nd, 1889

The B&W R.R. must be a great boon to the back country at this season of the year. The train passes here every day (LYN) loaded with passengers.

Saturday April 27, 1889

The run off on the B&W, near this place (LYN) on Wednesday, might possibly have been saved by the employment of a few more section hands. “A stitch in time saves nine.”

April 30th, 1889 

Railway Business: The following are among the railway honuacs [sic] voted on by the Dominion Parliament:

To the Brockville, Westport and Sault Ste. Marie Railway, $64,000. for 20 miles, from Westport to Palmer Rapids.

To the Thousand Island Railway $54,000. from the St. Lawrence River at Gananoque to a junction with the B&W.

Tuesday May 7, 1889 

The twenty mile extension of the B&W west of Westport, will pass through a portion of the country rich in phosphate deposits.

The B&W has a full fledged news agent who supplies the daily papers’ The Reporter will be for sale on the train hereafter, commencing with tonight.

The work of ballasting the B&W is progressing rapidly. A large force of men, including about twenty Italians are working at the gravel pit and in the lifting gangs.

Monday May 13, 1889

The “R.G.Hervey,” as one of the B&W engines is called, has a new bell, replacing the old one, which was cracked voice, used to emit a discordant warning to the unwary. The new bell is a dandy.

December 31st, 1889

The B&W station at Unionville is being divided. One section will be removed to Gilbert’s Crossing and the other will be moved up to the Addison Road.

The Athens Reporter and County of Leeds Advertiser

Tuesday Nov 20, 1894  (date show is the date on the paper, not the correct date)

On Friday evening shortly after leaving Lyn, the B&W express struck a cow with disastrous results. The cow was instantly killed and the engine and tender derailed. No serious damage was occasioned to the train and it reached Athens only about three hours late.

 

Tuesday Jan. 8, 1895 

The B&W was several hours late yesterday morning, the train being held over to allow voters to mark their ballots in the Crosby election.

 Tuesday Jan. 15, 1895 

The Mallorytown stage failed to arrive last night, the road being blocked with drifts. The other stages were only slightly behind schedule time and the B&W express came through without delay. (Athens)

Feb. 12, 1895 

Reports from woodsmen put the depth of snow on the level at from three to six feet.(Lyn) Surely the regularity of the train service on the B&W this winter should convince the back country folks of the reliability of a mail service on that route. At present it takes three days to get a return mail from Delta or west of this to Lyn, and the same from Addison or Greenbush.

 Tuesday Sep 10, 1895 

The Westport Mail Service

The deputation from the villages along the line of the Brockville and Westport Railway that went to Ottawa to interview the postmaster general with regard to the B&W Railway, returned today and report that no difficulty will be experienced in the railway getting the carriage of the mails, provided that the railway will give proper security for the due conveyance of the mails. In fact an order in council was passed as far back as October, 1891, providing for the transfer under these conditions.

Redan – A Forgotten Hamlet in Elizabethtown

, , , 2

Redan

An obscure fort which figured in the Crimean War 1854-56, gave this community its name.

1 Redan

One of the stumbling blocks to the British assault on the Russian Black Sea port of Sevastopol, was the Redan, a fort in the centre of the bastion’s defences. British troops made two terrific attacks on the Redan, only to be beaten back with terrible losses. However, artillery pounding, and heavy shelling from off-shore cruisers, softened up the defences, and in 1856 the British mounted a final assault and took Redan. The story of Redan was widely told in that year of 1856 when the good fathers of this community met in a school house to choose a name.

The old community of Redan is reached via Hwy 29, turning east at Addison onto the Addison-Greenbush Road. A couple of miles east of Addison, an old dirt and gravel road leads north directly into the heart of this old community. The old Anglican Church stands out as a landmark as the centre of Redan. The Elizabethtown-Kitley township line runs just north of this community.

Redan was settled in the years 1840-1860 by Irish Immigrants. The original inhabitants were the Youngs, the Marshalls, Burnetts, Pritchards, Motts, Richards and Wilsons. The old Richards’ homestead here was originally part of a clergy reserve. In 1854 the government released all clergy reserve land to the public and the Richards family took a 100 acre plot in the centre of this community.

Redan School was located a short distance from the Mott homestead.  The original schoolhouse was a log structure located near the junction of the Rocksprings and Redan Roads. The site is now covered by a swamp. There was a cheese factory in Redan located just north of the school. The factory burned down around 1940 and was never rebuilt. Redan did not have a mill and local farmers took their grain to Addison or Greenbush for grinding.

All Saints Church served this community faithfully for 77 years until a dwindling congregation and lack of funds forced the Anglican Church to close it down in 1970. The church was built in 1892-93 by Anglicans who were strong supporters of Sir John A. Macdonald. Some say that the church was intended as a memorial to the statesman who died in 1891. (Recorder and Times, Darling Collection Book 3)

Excerpts have been taken from this paper referencing the following hamlet for the years 1889, 1894 and 1895

Redan– March 18, 1889

On Friday last, while Mr. Wolf was sawing wood with his machine at Mr. John Pritchard’s near Redan, the heavy fly wheel of the machine burst, sending large fragments flying with terrific force in all directions. One piece, weighing 19 pounds, was thrown a distance of 60 rods. One spoke cut off a man’s boot and then penetrated a block of wood two inches. Another spoke was hurled to a great height, and in descending almost grazed a man, while a flying fragment cut the pants off another man. There were several other narrow escapes, and considering that the wheel burst in the midst of eight horses and nine men, it was wonderful that not even an injury was inflicted.

Tuesday Sep 10, 1895 issue

A sad gloom was cast over the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Barrington of the Redan on Saturday evening last by the death of their little baby boy aged five months.

Tuesday Oct 1, 1895 issue

Redan, Saturday Sept. 7 –

Mr. F.L. Moore and family have moved into the residence formerly occupied by Mr. M. Banford. It has been remodelled and refurnished and is now one of the prettiest in the district.

Ditching has been the topic in this district for some time. Mr. Richard Stafford appealed against the award of Mr. Bryce J. Saunders, C.E, of the Township of Elizabethtown. The appeal came before His Hon. Judge Reynolds at the town hall in New Dublin. The Judge did not see to agree with Mr. Saunders in his award in regard to Mr, Stafford and decided to keep him (Mr. Stafford) our altogether. Both sides were ably defended by two of our most eminent and learned lawyers. Despite the effort of Mr. Lewis, lawyer, his honor thought fit to set a part of the award aside, and owing to the conflicting testimony of some of the parties, and the great difficulty there was in ??? some of them to tell the truth, he could come to no other conclusion. We trust after this matter is settled our neighbors will live in peace and harmony and that the name of Redan will not  ??? a blush on the checks of ?? and honestly disposed residents of this district.

Mr. Geo. Churchill and aunt Miss Elizabeth Scott have moved into the residence late vacated by Mr. F.L. Moore.

Booth Infirmary by John C.Lamontagne

Dr. Booth’s Infirmary

, , , 2

Dr. Booth’s Infirmary

One of the first hospitals in Leeds County was operated near Forthton prior to 1870 by a pioneer physician, Dr. Booth.

Dr. Booth took up practice here around 1830, and built a large stone house on the east side of No.42 highway north of Forthton.

As his practice grew Dr. Booth put up a ten bed hospital which for years was know as “Dr. Booth’s Infirmary”. In her book “Leeds the Lovely”, Evelyn Purvis Earle wrote: “Every day those patients who were able were taken for a ride in the fresh air by this old fashion doctor, who was surprisingly modern in his views”.

The infirmary closed in the 1880’s and the building has collapsed over the years, so that nothing remains.

The hospital was built on the homestead of John Goldsmith Booth.  John Goldsmith Booth III was the son of John Booth Jr. and his second wife Ruth Boyce.

The future doctor was born near Lyn on January 26th, 1804 being a grandchild of the first Booth to settle in Leeds, John Booth, Sr. His grandmother was the former Bethia Goldsmith, and her last name was passed on to him.

John Booth’s farm on the 7th Concession took in the present site of Forthton. This 200 acre homestead was a Crown Grant to John Booth and Allan McDonald. In September 1806, Allan McDonald sold the west half of Lot No. 35 to David Booth born in 1785, to John Booth Jr. and his wife Bethia Goldsmith Booth. At the time of sale John Goldsmith Booth was only two years of age, but was named as one of the buyers.

At the age of 20, John G. Booth wed 19 year old Catherine Purvis, the daughter of Yonge Front pioneers Peter Purvis and the former Catherine Gardiner. Catherine was the daughter of George Gardiner, the first settler at Yonge Mills.

Booth historians believe John G. and Catherine eloped because they were married at York, now Toronto. The Booths were Wesleyan Methodists, the Purvis family staunch Presbyterians. There is a suspicion that the marriage created a mild rift in the Purvis Family, but since John G. and Catherine named their first child Peter after his grandfather, they were forgiven.

After the wedding John G. took over the Unionville homestead.  John constructed a stone building and attached it to his home via a passageway. Later he added a herb preparation room, stables and out buildings. The main infirmary between  Dr. Booth’s dwelling and the herb dispensary was furnished with wide verandas on both first and second floors.

These verandas were used to give his patients an airing when they needed it, It appears that there were five patients’ rooms on the ground floor and another five above.

Booth’s Hospital was known as the “Electrick Infirmary”, but was called “Hydergia Hall” by the builder. Booth named his own dwelling “Hygea House”.

A believer in natural medicine, Booth grew his own herbs and manufactured his own medicines. The hospital was supplied with food from his own homestead.

Dr. Booth and his wife had four daughters, Catherine married to neighbouring farmer George Percival; June, Ruth and Mary. John’s son Peter lived on the property with his wife Eliza and two children Charles an Jessie. Peter at the age of 17 started to teach school at Glen Buell.

Dr. Booth’s wife Catherine died in May 1854. He remarried in December 1855 to Margaret Fairbairn of Beverly (Delta). His happiness was short lived for he died on March 11, 1856 at the age of 52. Margaret later wed one of Dr. Booth’s colleagues, Dr. G.A. Edwards. She died February 20, 1977 aged 52 years.

Unionville Fair – 1884

The Unionville Fair – 1884

This is a first hand account of attending the fair, written by Walter Kilborn Billings. We have this story in Walter’s own handwritten words; as far as we know, it has never been published before. Walter, who was born in 1871, whold have been a young boy of 13 when he attended the fair back in 1884.

“Unionville Fair (now Forthton) about the year eighteen eighty-four; that fall was a busy place.

The Fairground just west of the Hotel, each day just swarmed with race horses, high-wheeled sulky’s and drivers wearing small-peaked caps, exercising their fast steeds on this half mile race track.

John Forth, father of William and Dave, a tall genial host, bade a welcome for any and all the patrons of the Fair and served bountiful dinners at a charge of twenty-five cents, for any driver who had driven in from distant points.

Usually visitors would get an early dinner before leaving home. They had brought a feed of oats and a bundle of hay for their horses. Opening the snake fence across the road from the grounds, driving over to the grove across the field, they tied the team to a tree and then back to the gate where one paid a quarter to get inside. Of course we kids got in for ten cents or else crawled under the fence.

The first day, exhibitors brought in sleek well-fed hogs, cattle and sheep, which were placed in pens along the back fences. Horses were tied there too, with fence rails between to keep them from getting too close to each other. The Fair Directors allotted the animals to the different stalls. These men, usually on horseback, had a busy day.

There was a band stand in the centre of the race track and judges stood where the calls were made from, for the trials of speed. Carriage horses were shown and cattle brought out to be judged.

I had been promised a ride out the first morning from Lyn with George P. McNish, who was showing cultivators, plows and a new roller made in his foundry, and also some vegetables grown in his garden. My job was to help unload the big wagon, take the horse back to the grove, feed and water it at noon, and this paid for my passage out.

It was a long dusty drive out, but I was glad of the ride and as a helper I was given a pass, so did not have to buy a ticket, which I think I earned. I remember I was tired out when I got home that night, but it was worth it and a memorable trip.

Next day I managed to get a ride out again, and having my pass was able to avoid paying at the gate. Once on the grounds there was a lot to see. I remember Mr. Edward Davis on horse back calling out the different events, shaking hands with old friends, and really having a busy day.

What a fair, three days of it, well-groomed carriage horses, teams hitched to the family carriages with the top and back of the seat removed, making a smart looking road wagon.

These teams were being driven around the track to be judged as they passed the stand. Just before the judging got underway the Toledo Band took up their position in their stand and was waiting for the signal to start playing.

A Lyn man Will Cornell, had a sleek team of bays in the ring and as each driver had to be accompanied by a lady, he had persuaded a Lyn girl, Anna Eliza Yates to accompany him. When just as the team swung around the nearest to the front of the fairgrounds, the band started playing and as the drummer gave the signal with a loud bang on his drum, Mr. Cornell’s team swung off the track, through the crowd and over to the road fence, which when they struck, it went down, the team passing over it across the road and into the field where fortunately the fence had been opened and across the field to the grove where they were forced to stop. The passenger meanwhile, was hanging to the carriage seat with both hands. She was a good sport and did not scream during the wild ride.

Backing his horses from the bushes, the driver came back and drove through the gates getting a cheer from the crowd, drove in on the track again and carried off the red ticket.

I remember too, a farmer living in the Lillies district, who each year had grown wonderful melons and coming to the fair with a big wagon filled with lovely water melons, musk melons and citrons. A large box was filled with straw to protect them. A log bench placed beside the wagon enabled one to climb on to it, look over and select the melon you wanted. Mr. Miller would plug it to make sure it was ripe, always getting a bit of advice from those beside you.

A nice watermelon could be bought for twenty or twenty-five cents and as I knew Mr. Miller decided, I was getting good value. My cousin who was now with me and always helped in making my selection, was always ready to see that I did not eat too much of it and so helped a lot.

I had been earning some money that summer picking strawberries for a neighbour, getting one cent per box and had saved over a dollar for this trip, so decided we might as well buy another melon. My cousin agreeing readily, then we would go over and sit under a tree and enjoy my purchase.

Well later on I hinted that I was getting low in cash and thought some one else should buy, but my cousin said “Oh what is the use of hanging onto what you have, let’s get another melon.” Well with my last twenty-five cents I said I was going to buy a melon and take it home to my brothers and sisters, so instructing Mr. Miller of my plan he gave me a bargain in this last purchase.

Well I carried that melon around under my arm for quite a while. My cousin meanwhile trying to get me to cut it as he said it wouldn’t be hardly a taste for that bunch of kids, but I refused.

Finally across the grounds an accident had happened and we decided to run over to see it. Of course carrying my purchase I could not run as fast and my cousin fell just in front of me and I fell over him. Of course the melon broke and we had to eat it, but I did not know until long after that he fell on purpose.

Once I wanted him to buy a melon but he always let on he was broke. But I had my doubts, as later on as we were watching a chap, John, who had a stand and was entertaining the crowd with his ready wit and incidentally putting up some novelties in a paper bag and offering the lot for a quarter, would finally get someone to fork over the cash. Then when business was dull he would put in a jack knife, a pair of spectacles and some hair tonic that he claimed would grow hair on an oak plank. Some would bite and my cousin was one of these. He paid fifty cents for a bag and we took it over and sat on a bench. He tried the knife but the blade came off before he got a sliver off the bench. Then he said that the glass would do for his mother, but when he got them out one glass was gone. I told him we would have had a lot more fun buying melons with his half dollar.

Cheap John was witty and that was his charm. He would put a straight razor, which he said would split a hair, some of his hair tonic, ear ring or a watch in the bag, but he had a few around who were helping and they always got this bag.

Then the girl on the trapeze and on the tight rope up over the heads of those whose wives were in the building looking at the fancy quilts and spreads on display. An old friend of mine, Frank Clow, was one who was watching the performance and noticed an old bachelor in the crowd. Calling to him he said “Look out Red, you are going to burst your eyes”. He answered: “Well Frank I am shutting one eye”. His sister, a maiden lady, fat, fair and forty, heard his remark and ploughing her way through the crowd and grasping Red by the coat sleeve said “I hear you. Come away out of this, watching that brazen hussy up there, I should (illegible). You should be ashamed of yourself, and I don’t think she has hardly any clothes on. Come on away.” She dragged him away and for a long time could not forget about her brother watching that girl.

What a fair, and what fun that day. Uncle Hiram went to the fair that day, he had a box on his lumber wagon with boards running long the sides for seats. Near the centre of the wagon, you got a little of the jar of the wheels running over the stone road, but near the front and back your teeth were chattering most of the time. He had given a dozen or more of his neighbours a ride out and on the way home, made the remark that he had picked up a satchel on the grounds and had carried it around all day, thinking the owner would see it and claim it, but no one had and he said he guessed he would have to advertise it.

My cousin was a passenger with him that day and suggested that he open the satchel as there might be a name inside. After a lot of work they managed to get the bag opened. It had evidently belonged to some woman who had her baby with her and contained a large roll of soiled panties. He slammed the satchel shut saying “Damn it and I have carried that thing around all day!” As they were crossing the bridge, he tossed the bag into the creek, saying a bit of water would not hurt the contents.

P.S. Seventy ears later I drove past the fair grounds, now a pasture. A grand daughter of John Forth now has an antique shop at the corner, a high-wheeled sulky is in the carriage house, one of the buildings the judges stood in, is in the yard and as I drove by I tried to picture the exciting days of the Unionville Fair.”

Sharpe’s Lane

The first road you come to is Sharp’s Lane. “Sharp’s Lane is named after John A. Sharp who acquired the property in the mid- Victorian era. Although this narrow side road ran little more than a mile north of thSharpes Lane July 2006 (1)e river, more contraband goods are reputed to have flowed north and south on this road than any comparable road in Canada, due to tons of supplies being brought in for the Rideau District” (The Story of Brockville by Glenn J.Lockwood pub 2006)

It was the most important Smuggler’s Highway during the War of 1812 between the St, Lawrence River and the Ottawa Valley. “Perhaps more contraband goods have flowed, both north and south, on this road than any other similar road in Canada” McKim wrote “ The fact that it was little used and led directly into the country made it an ideal location for those enterprises. This was no petty smuggling by some farmer, but a wholesale running of goods by the ton to supply the stores in the Rideau District and beyond. Tea, tobacco, cotton and many other articles were delivered at the foot of this road, and hidden in the woods or a farmer’s barn. Many a farmer has uncovered a load of goods in his hay-mow. He said nothing and the goods disappeared in a day or two. Live horses were the principal commodity smuggled south into the United States. The horses were made to swim the river. Adventure, excitement, risk and profit lured the men into the quiet hours of the night on the Smuggler’s Highway. Now all is quiet on the riverfront and few remember the good old days.

Stone Acres

Entering Elizabethtown from the East, the first building you would see on the north side of the road is a large stone house now know as ‘Stone Acres’.

“This home can be described as a ‘Regency Villa’ which was part of the Sherwood grant. Adiel Sherwood sold this lot to Thomas Nisdale, a stone cutter by trade. The front door is exceptional, a wide aperture surmounted by a deep cornice of Adamesque swags. ‘The stone work is a fine example of his skill, especially the large arch which is cut from a single piece of stone. Since then the place has passed through many hands, each adding his contribution of buildings. It was once owned by W.H.Comstock, and Timothy Burns and came into the hands of Mr. W. Ralph in the 1920’s who operated a large dairy operation for many years” (Elizabethtown: The last of the Royal Townships by Alvin Austin pub 2009)

Marshalls School – A One Room School House in Elizabethtown

, , , , 0

Marshall School

 Sectional School No. 17 

(SS # 3 – Augusta)

Alt. name Gosford School

 

The first children of the area of Linden Bank went to school in a crude log building, but in 1869 the farmers of the area constructed what became to be known as Marshall School.

The school was built out of stone on a low knoll on Gosford Road probably 100 yards off the North Augusta Road.  After serving generations of Linden Bank children the school was phased out by the school consolidation of the 1960’s.

The school itself was built on land donated by the Marshall Family. Several families of Marshalls lived in the area, running their farms and contributing to community life. The school had rough wooden benches and desks. It had only one room, in which all the grades were taught. It was designated as Elizabethtown SS No. 17. A plague over the doorway gave the date of construction as 1869.

Location of Hawke’s School map of 1861-62

(Rear of Young SS # 11)

 

There was a school in Glossville called “Hawke’s School. The school was so named because there were two group of Hawke’s children who attended the school in its early years. One Hawke farm was located north of the school the other farm to the south of the school. The school was sandwiched between the two farm families and filled with Hawke children. It was here that Glossville children were educated. The community sent its children to the old brick school long after people stopped using the name Glossville. After Hawke’s closed the children were bussed to Frankville or to Addison. Land for the school was donated to the area school board in 1857 by John Hawke, and it is probable that the stone building was erected within the following three years. Hawke’s School closed in 1962. The school was located at the junction of Hwy 29 and the Lake Eloida Road.

Excerpts from:

The Athen’s Reporter from Jan 31, 1889 to Dec 31, 1889

Hawk’s School

Hawk’s School March 18th-, 1889

Last Friday evening will be long remembered by the citizens of Hawk’s and surrounding country, who were offered the pleasure of attending a Scott Act lecture in the School house. The Addison choir was in attendance and is second to none in the Province of Ontario. They sang some beautiful pieces, which were well appreciated by the hearers. The next best thing was some music furnished by William Wiltse on the violin and his brother on the organ. One favourite tune with the audience was “Climbing up the Golden Stairs” and this Willie got considerably bungled up. Practice Willie, practice. The most excellent thing was an address delivered by Rev. Mr. Haylock. The reverend gentleman talked very plain and interesting. Miss. Hawks, Mr. Fields and Miss. Lovern favored us with some recitations and readings, which were well appreciated by all resent. All went home, happy and contented, feeling much wiser than they went.

Hamlets of Elizabethtown

, , , 0

When Elizabethtown was settled by United Empire Loyalist after the American Revolution, not everyone settled along the shores of the St. Lawrence River.

Some were given lots in the untamed, forested wilderness in the rear of Elizabethtown, far from the river. They had to make their way with their families and belongings along Indian paths and streams to reach their new homesteads.

Their first homes were small and made from logs cut down on the land that they were granted. Families and friends settled together and from these groups of homes future hamlets would arise. Some are still there today while others have vanished and left behind only stories of their once thriving communities.

Some of the names of these old hamlets have changed over time. Those names once reflected the first settlers to the area.

img051We will be exploring the origins of these hamlets in words and photos. If anyone reading these articles has information or photos that they would like to share we would appreciate hearing from you. Together we can enrich our history.

Silas Almond Wheeler – Our People, Our History

Born on February 11, 1878 in Iona County, Michigan, raised in the Michigan woods, Wheeler did a lot of travelling before he settled down at the age of 66 on the old Percival farm in Forthton.

Almond Wheeler taken in 1978 (2)
Almond Wheeler taken in 1978

He was the son of Rastus and Mary Wheeler, Iona County pioneers. The family moved to Cheboygan County Michigan when he was four years of age. There in the deep woods of northern Michigan he grew up.

The following is from an interview with Harry Painting in his column Focus on the District as it appeared in the Recorder and Times February 9, 1978. The interview was done on the occasion of Almond Wheeler’s 100th Birthday.

“When I got to the age where I had to look out for myself as a teenager, I worked around the country, I lived in Onaway, Michigan for a while then moved on to Petoskey and stayed there for ten years. I followed the carpenter’s trade and I had to go where the work was. Petoskey was a summer resort, with lots of cottages. There was lots of work on cottages that was my job and there were quite a few carpenters around in those days”

“Strangely enough most of my work was for the women. Folks owned these summer cottages and they lived mostly in the south from around Chicago and beyond and in the spring they’d have to get the cottages ready for the summer. Well the men couldn’t get away from the jobs, so their womenfolk would come north and get the cottages ready. That’s when I got my carpentry work in, fixing up their cottages.”

In 1912 at the age of 34, Wheeler moved to California, and lived there for two years. While there he worked on the Los Angeles aqueduct, one of the marvels of American architecture.

“But I came back to Michigan in 1914, staying around Lansing. I built some houses there and worked around. Then I headed back to California and went to work jobbing and contracting. I built a lot of small bungalows, but I never worked on any large buildings or a house. I knew too many contractors who went broke putting up big buildings to get involved in that sort of thing.”

In 1897, at the age of 19 he married Glenda Dunham of Cheboygan. They had a daughter born in 1900, and 23 years later a son, Robert. Glenda died during the 1930’s. From this union there were three grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

In 1941, Gertrude Forth, daughter of the well known family which gave Forthton its name, was asked by a friend Paula Kingston to be a bridesmaid at her wedding to Jack Burtt in California. Gertrude made the trip and in California met Almond Wheeler, then a widower of 63. They were married that year and three years later moved to Forthton to take over the David Forth Farm. This farm, 100 acres, was an original Crown Grant to the Percival Family.

Gertrude Wheeler was a daughter of David Forth and his wife Alma Giles, related to the famous Giles Family which built Clone House, across No. 42 Highway from Maple View Lodge. She was born in 1893.

David Forth built the Wheeler home, probably 90 or more years ago. The hamlet was then known as Unionville, site of the famous Unionville Fair, of which David Forth was president for many years. The fairgrounds stood just north of the Wheeler and Forth residences. The Forth residence, home of Mrs. Ethel Forth, stands adjacent to the Wheeler home.

When the Unionville Fair folded in the early 1900’s David Forth rescued one of the buildings, the “Honey House” and moved it to his farm. This structure was octagonal in shape, to resemble a section of honeycomb, and was used as an exhibition building. It is still standing on the Wheeler property.

After Almond Wheeler and his bride settled down on the farm, Wheeler erected a small replica of the “honey house’ on the grounds.

“When Almond was in California he always had a dream of farming, so I brought him back here where he could farm” said his wife Gertrude Wheeler.

“There was a bunch of cows here when I came, I had a little experience farming and I made a go of it. I worked the farm for three of four years and I did something everybody around here told me I couldn’t do, I raised fall wheat” Almond said.

“They told me wheat planted in the fall couldn’t survive the winter. But I fooled them. I planted 68 acres and I harvested 400 bushels. I had pictures taken of my fields. When I stood in the field the wheat came up to my chin. You sure can raise fall wheat in Leeds County.”

Sitting in his pleasant little living room, dressed in a smart dark suit, shirt and tie, Almond admits he was still driving a tractor at the age of 99.

“I haven’t driven a car since I had a heart attack 20 years ago. I didn’t wait for them to tell me I couldn’t drive any more after the heart attack, so I just quit. But I still drive the tractor around the farm.”

Mrs. Wheeler, born in this house 85 years ago still drives. The Wheelers have a 1960 model car in perfect condition.

After her marriage Gertrude Wheeler operated a noted antique shop. The Wagon Wheel, in her home. She has been out of business for several years but her home is still loaded with highly prized antiques.

A number of years ago she organized a crafts club of which her husband was an active member. He was noted for his canning chairs and fine examples of his needle-point adorn the walls of his home.

The Craft Club met in the old station that was used in the days of the Brockville and Westport Railway” said Gertrude Wheeler. “I remember Almond did a lot of crocheting. He once crocheted 15 scarves and gave them all away.”

Almond also wrote poetry and in former days entertained his friends by reading his works. He never tried to have any of his poems published.

Of his days in Michigan Wheeler said he was an active walker and recalls walking home a 20 mile trip by bicycle carrying a 60 pound sack of clover seed for his farm.

Approaching his 100th Birthday Almond said “I feel pretty good in spite of everything. I haven’t seen a doctor in three years. I don’t think he could do anything for me if I did see him.”

Almond summed up his life “A man must have faith in himself to make his own way. I believe we can handle our own problems ourselves. I believe if we have willpower and faith enough in ourselves we will make out. There is also faith in God. That’s right. We’ve got to have faith in God but we also have to have faith in ourselves”

Almond passed away on July 16th, 1979.

His family was his inspiration in his talent and he credited his own father, who outside of work with Phillips Co was an accomplished artist, as being one of his earliest and most influential art instructors. “The desire to paint – make images that not only depict nature but also reflect the individual was instilled in me at a very early age. My father was the most content and happy person when he was painting a picture and I recall with great joy the times I spent just watching him paint. Some sort of peace, tranquillity and self confidence would come over him when he started painting – and yet there was also a passion and strength that would just emanate from him and fill the air of our tiny home in Holland- and I inhaled every bit of that.”

The call of adventure and travel played a big role in Henry’s life and in 1956, at 21 years old, Henry and close friend Hank, sized an opportunity to immigrate to Canada. Arriving with only a suitcase and a few dollars, he found lodging with a kind family in Eastern Ontario, and soon Henry and Hank formed their own business as house painter and decorators.

It was here in Canada that Henry met the love of his life and future wife, Juney Garlough in 1957 in Cornwall, Ontario. Henry and Juney were married July 18 1958 and settled in Brockville to start a family of their own. In the fall of 1959 they had their first of six children (Susan, Linda, Karin, Wendy and the twins Tim and Tom). Henry’s love for his family, near and far, was evident- sharing his caring touch and often incorporating them in his art.

Henry took what jobs he could get in order to take care of his family, growing his business to include billboards and commercial sign painting. He eventually landed a formal position as staff commercial artist for DuPont in 1965, and in 1972 began teaching part time classes in commercial art at St. Lawrence College. He later became a full time professor of Fine Arts and Teaching Master at the college until his retirement in 1994. Henry is also credited for the creation of the now well known Summer School of the Arts.

Even in retirement, Henry still had a hand in the arts, not just for himself, but for others around him: “Art is something to be enjoyed by everyone. And sharing this enjoyment is special to me.” He continued to enrich numerous art communities through his teaching and professional work. Long stays in St. George Island, Florida and annual “Paint Brush Holiday” travels with Juney to France, Tuscany, Normandy and Provence provided sources of inspiration and an opportunity for him to share his passion of the arts with others.

His love of art was self-evident and his commitment and dedication to his teaching, inside and outside the classroom was overwhelming. Henry always believed he was at his best when teaching: “The best part of teaching is sharing what I like best – Art. There is no difference between my art and my teaching; it gives me the same good feeling.”

As a professional painter, he is renowned for his “Northern Images” series, rich with colour and emotion. He has also become increasingly well known for his highly defined works from his travels abroad. His works are in private and corporate collections worldwide, and he has received a number of awards and accolades for his talents and his work in the art community.

The One Room School House in Elizabethtown

, , 0

Prior to the closure of the one room school house in the mid 1960’s the rural landscape of Elizabethtown was dotted with wood, stone and brick one room school houses. They served the needs of the families who lived near these schools. Some schools were located on the border with neighbouring townships and were shared schools, where the costs were divided between each township.

Children would walk or catch a ride to their school. They would fill the wood box and carry water into the school. There was a sense of purpose and belonging that is missing from today’s consolidated schools.

In our posts we have written what we know about each school in Elizabethtown and whenever possible added photos.

If you have photos or stories about any of these schools please share them with us at lynmuseum@gmail.com

Orval Ladd – Our People, Our Heritage

, , 0

Orval Leslie Ladd was born on September 28, 1930 in the village of Lyn. He was the youngest of five children born to Arthur Ladd, who delivered milk from surrounding farms to a nearby processing plant, and his mother Hazel, a homemaker.

Ladd, Arthur & Hazel 1940 WB4
Arthur & Hazel Ladd 1940

Orval pitched in early to help the family business. By 12 he was driving the milk truck. His brother Lawrence, two years older, also helped. Tragedy struck in 1942 when Arthur accidentally backed the milk truck over Lawrence, then 14, killing him. Orval deeply missed his brother. Even many decades later, recalling the accident brought tears to his eyes.

Orval attended Lyn Public School. A joke teller and prankster to his core, one winter night he snuck over to the school. Holding the school bell upside down, he poured water in until the clapper froze solid. The next morning he watched with a smirk as the teacher tried to ring the morning bell.

Orval also had a lead foot. In his teenage years, a local constable often tried to nab him for speeding. But he would hide behind a building or barn and wait for the police officer to go through and then take off in the opposite direction, honking at the constable.

Ladd, Orval WB4 P2

In his teens, Orval started dating Pat Clow. They married on Aug 8, 1953; Orval was 23, Pat 20. Orval built their first house just prior to the wedding. On Dec. 23, 1955, it burned down. Their first son, Michael, was born four days later.

Patricia Clow c1948

Orval and Pat raised four children in Lyn. After Michael came Ann, Joan and Peter. The couple’s romance never faded. “He always said that he first knew he was going to marry me when he was in public school and saw me riding to school on a little bicycle that I had. He said I was the cutest thing he’d ever seen” recalls Pat. “And he told me he watched that scene in his mind every night”

 

 

 Orval worked as a salesman for Myers Pumps. Despite only having a Grade 8 education, he became Myers’ Territory Manager for eastern and northern Ontario, and western Quebec. He often racked up to 130,000 km a year travelling for work. While school was not Orval’s thing he was a natural when it came to figuring out how to fix and build things. His house was stocked with copies of Popular Mechanics. He taught himself electrical work, carpentry and stone masonry and he was excellent at all of them. He hated anything to do with paperwork. Most of his projects were in is head.

Orval’s real passion was preserving Lyn District History. He loved the village that he called home his entire life. “He’d say I can’t see chasing a golf ball around a field when I could be doing something more productive” says Pat. In 1999 as he entered his 70’s Orval, still happiest when covered in mud and mortar, initiated the Lyn Heritage Place Museum, which focused on the town’s original flour mill. Orval did three quarters of the stone work to create the museum.

Orval was lauded with awards for his heritage work, including the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal (2002); the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship (2002) and the Ontario Heritage Trust Certificate of Achievement (2006). But he hid his medals away. “He was pleased, but he wasn’t one to flaunt them,” says Pat.

On Feb. 6th, after helping his son Peter with a remodelling project, Orval went to the old firehouse in Lyn to pick up building materials he was storing there. He arrived home that evening and mumbled something to Pat about getting hit on the head, possibly by the overhead door at the fire hall, or the rear hatch on his van. Pat seeing the swelling on his head said she was taking him to the hospital. He argued he was too dirty to go so she quickly cleaned him up first. Doctors, discovering a brain hemorrhage, transferred him to Kingston, but no one could stop the bleeding. He was 83. (excerpts from Macclean’s Magazine March 10,2014)

Stone Acres Hwy 2 east Juky2016 (2)

Highway Number 2 in Elizabethtown

, , 0

Highway #2 runs along the bottom of the township from east to west. It is interrupted by the City of Brockville sitting towards the easterly end of the township.

Before highway #401 was constructed and finished in the mid 1960’s, Highway #2 was the main road between Toronto and Montreal. There were no rest stops as we find today, but the highway was dotted with small stores, restaurants and gas stations. It was a long trip but it was a leisurely one and afforded the travelled a beautiful view of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding countryside. Brockville was considered the halfway point on the journey between Montreal and Toronto.

Highway #2 entered Elizabethtown on the Easterly end from Augusta Township and on the Westerly end from Front of Yonge Township.

The area and places in between those two Townships is what we will be taking a look at. Transport yourself back at least 50 years and take that journey with us.

Some Historical Facts for Lyn

 

Bark Flats

First School Fair Sep 21 1915 on the tan bark WI bk4p319
Lyn School Fair Sep 21, 1915 on the Bark Flats

When the tannery owned by Henry Booth was in operation, the flat south of the village was covered with hemlock bark brought in by the farmers in the winter. This bark was used in the tanning of hides and some of the residue was used in insulating homes. The soil on this flat is still made up of hemlock bark. (J.McCrady) (1)

 

 

 

Business

Bakery

The home now owned by Mr.& Mrs. Charles Cross was at one time a bake shop in which Mr. Serviss baked bread. Mr. Serviss was assisted in starting in business by Mr. James Cumming who gave him his first flour. Mr. Serviss’ son Dick peddled the bread around the village and surrounding area with a horse and wagon (sleigh in the winter). The bread was sold unwrapped.(1)

Coon's Bakery Lyn WB1
Coon’s Bakery on Main Street, Lyn

The next bake shop was owned by Wilfred Coon who baked in the shop where Mr.Serviss did, but sold the bread from a store under the Oddfellow’s Hall.(1)

 

 

 

 

Cheese Factories

There were several cheese factories in and around Lyn. One stone building, still standing is on the Centennial (Howard) Road on the Howard (Pietersma) Farm. It was one of the first. Two miles west of the village was the Union Cheese Factory.(2)

 

 

Mills

The first flour mill was located in a large building on Main St. East, which was burned. After closing this flour mill the building housed the Post Office and a store run by Omer Mallory, and later by Mr. Walter Billings. (1)

Main St Lyn WB4 Pond #24
The first mill was located to the right of the dam on the Lyn Pond

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By 1860 R.Coleman & Co. had built the 5 story mill in the Lyn Valley. The Lyn Manufacturing Co. larger than anything ever attempted in Eastern Ontario. There was a 50’ drop from Lyn Mill Pond down to this facility where it powered 5 separate mill operations including Grist; Saw and Tanneries. The flour mill produced 300 bags a day of several different brands of flour.(3)

Mill at Lyn WB3 (1)
The Grist Mill was the five story building on the left, the other buildings composed the Tannery, Shoe Last Factory and Saw Mill

 

 

 

 

Shoe Factory, Tannery and other buildings were destroyed by fire in 1914(1)

 

 

 

General Store

The first store seems to have been run by a druggist named Mr. A.T.Trickey. Mr. Gardner bought the store from Mr. Trickey in 1885, he was not a druggist so he hired Mr. C.M.Taylor who later became his son-in-law. The store was then sold to the McCrady family. (2)

Cemeteries

Howard Cemetery: off of the Centennial (Howard) Road. At the Parslow Road. Early stones in this cemetery were made of marble as granite was not used until after 1810.

Fulford Pioneer Cemetery (Fulford Point Road): Dedicated approximately 1786. This cemetery is one of the earliest cemeteries in Leeds County; One of the earliest burial grounds of United Empire Loyalists in the Region.

The land was given by Jonathan Fulford, born in Wallingford, Connecticut and was a Sergeant in Jessup’s Corps.  He was granted 108 acres of land on Lot 28 in Concession 1, Elizabethtown.  John and Jacob Elliot shared Lot 29, Adam Cole had Lot 31 and Lot 30 went to Thomas Sparham.  Lots were drawn from a hat, not chosen.

The first grave in the burial ground was Jonathan’s infant son, on June 7th, 1786.  Families using this private burial ground have been descendants of Jonathan Fulford, and shared by the Cole family.  Jonathan’s sister, Thankful Fulford, married Adam Cole before the war, which suggests that Cole also came from Connecticut.  Cole was a private in Jessup’s Corps.  Through intermarriage, the families of John and Jacob Elliot also used the burial ground.  Robinsons are also buried there.

Lyn Cemetery: Located behind St.John’s Anglican Church, it was dedicated sometime around 1790. The oldest known stone in the cemetery marks Able Coleman’s grave and reads “In memory of Able Coleman who departed this life in full assurance of eternal life”(1765-1810)

Yonge Mills Cemetery: Surrounds the little stone church. It was built in 1837 on land donated by Peter Purvis. When the Grand Trunk Railway was built the tracks were laid right through the middle of the cemetery. (located west of Lyn)

Oakland Cemetery: Located on Hwy #2 just west of the Lyn Road is the main cemetery for this area.

Churches

Bricks from the Methodist Church blown down in a severe windstorm on Jan 21 1890 were used in the building of the GlenBuell Church in 1890. The old Methodist Church on the hill was blown away, all that is left is the spire, part of the church being carried across the road into Cumming’s orchard.(1)

The facts about the earliest church are unclear but there seems to have been a small log church called Union or perhaps St.Paul’s, just east of the present St.John the Baptist Church. Various denominations used this facility.(2)

The Methodists seem to have been the first to build a church. Eventually there were two Methodists Churches in Lyn, one a brick church at the top of the hill, and the other near the stone school house on Main St. The Episcopal Methodist Church blew down in a severe storm and the one still stands and was transferred to St. Andrews R.C. Church in 1965 (Now Closed) (cor of Church and Main Sts.)(2)

The Presbyterian congregation got under way in the early 1800’s. The first services were held in Brownson’s Hotel in Lyn. (2)

Anglican Church- a site was chosen in 1859 and the land obtained through the generosity of James Coleman. Construction began in 1860 but as halted due to financial problems. In 1869 it was completed and dedicated.

 

Electricity

Electricity was brought to Lyn in 1929. This meant the discarding of the old coal-oil lamps.(1)

 

Entertainment

Lyn Band- was a well know and popular band. They played at most affairs in and around Lyn but would go as far as Frankville, Mallorytown and to Morristown, NY. They had a band wagon pulled by two mules. The band seems to have disbanded sometime after 1911.(2)

Lyn Village

A by-law passed in 1912 by the Counties Council elected Lyn into a Police Village (1)

The original name was “Coleman’s Corners”, this was changed in 1837 to Lowell because some of the early settlers came from Lowell, Mass. It was then discovered that there was another Lowell in Ontario. The name of “Lyn” was then chosen as descriptive of the natural setting. The clear streams of water used to drive the mill wheels suggested a Welsh or Scottish word “Linn” – a pool, a stream or cascade. (2)

 

Mines, Pyrite

The Billings Pyrite Mine on the Chemical Road (Old Red Road) was perhaps the largest. The Shipman Mine on Halleck’s Road was another producer of pyrite but it was short lived due to the high pyrrhotite content which was an undesirable mineral and the short mining season. The Brockville Chemical & Superphosphate Co. atShipman's Pyrite Mine WB#6 the foot of Ford St. in Brockville converted the pyrites into sulphuric acid, fertilizer and dynamite and was a pioneer in the “lead chamber process” for the distilling of sulphuric and hydrochloric acids. (c1850)

 

 

 

 

 

People

Dr. George W.Judson a physician who practiced at Westport, Lyn and Athens was born in Kitley in 1856. He died in 1924. (1)

Richard Coleman, who played a leading part in the development of Lyn died in 1861 at age 72 (1)

Walter K.Billings, a prominent Lyn Merchant and author of “How Dear to My Hear’ was born in 1871 (1)

Anson Andrew McNish  1878 to 1959  He was born in Lyn the only son of George Peter McNish (1838-1914) and Catherine E. Manhard (1843-1893). Anson married Antoinette “Nettie” Brookman (1874-1944) of Brooklyn, NYC. They had one daughter Florence Catherine born in 1913 in Weston, Ontario who unfortunately died at the age of 15 in 1928 in Fultonville, NY.

Anson is important to our history because he was an amateur photographer and through his lens has given us some of the earliest and best preserved photos of Lyn and the places he lived and visited. His attention to detail and the composition of his photos, considering the photographic equipment he had available to him, is incredible

Able Coleman died April 25, 1810 (3)

RCMP Const. Douglas Scott of Lyn was shot and killed in the Baffin Island hamlet of Kimmirut in 2007. The park and ball diamond on Main Street was named in his honour.

 

Post Office

The first post office was established in Lyn in 1851 (2)

 

Recreation

Centeen Park: Centennial Park Opened Nov 18 1967

With Solemn dedication followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony one of Elizabethtown’s two Centennial parks was officially opened Saturday. Prefaced by a grand parade and other carnival activities in the village of Lyn, the opening ceremony drew a large crowd.

Lyn Valley Conservation Area: What used to be an old sand and gravel quarry has been turned into an attractive and very functional swimming and recreation spot for everyone’s enjoyment. Featuring a swimming area, known locally as Lyn Pit, complete with sandy beach and changing facilities, the swimming area

in the Lyn Valley Conservation Area is the perfect location for a day at the beach. Picnic facilities are available next to the water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roads

The toll gates on the Lyn Road were removed on January 1st, 1911(1)

The toll gate was located where Burnbrae Farms now stands. The charge at the toll gate was one way 3 cents and 5 cents return. (2)

Toll Gate Lyn Rd c1890 PAB 14 F3 #13
Lyn Road Toll Gate c1890

 

 

The Lyn Road which passes through Lyn as Main Street was important during the war of 1812 as the main artery between Brockville and Kingston (via Yonges Mills)

 

 

 

Waterways

A deed registered in 1852 showed that Richard Coleman had water rights on Lyn Pond (it bordered Main Street, where the ball park now resides). People owning land in the country leading to the pond had to give the Colemans the privilege of flooding the land to the high water mark. Temperance Lake which was the headwater was kept full by a dam. When opened the water flowed into Centre Lake and then to Lee Pond. There was another dam which when opened allowed the water to flow from Centre Lake into Graham  Lake. A gate at Lee Pond allowed the water level in the Lyn Pond to be controlled. A man made ditch was dug between Lee Pond and the Lyn Pond. (2)

 

Richard Coleman II was the mastermind behind buying up land and creating a watershed in the surrounding area to feed water to his mills. He started in the 1840’s by buying an existing mill on Temperance Lake, about 15 miles north which controlled the flow of water into the Gananoque River. Coleman did not purchase the mill to use, but to block the stream and reverseits’ current, he bought another mill at McIntosh Mills south of Athens, there he built what was officially called the March (or marsh) Bridge Dam, a half mile bridge of grass covered masonry.

 

This Marsh Bridge dam shut off the supply of water that ran between McIntosh Mills and Temperance Lake which created Graham Lake a large pond seven miles long and Centre Lake (also known as Stump Lake). The next undertaking was to cut a canal between them, 15’ wide and 10’ deep to create East Lake (Lee’s Pond) a 600 acre reservoir which would feed the millpond in the village of Lyn (Lyn Pond) (3)

Lyn Grist and Four Mill

The original Lyn Mill was located on Main Street near the By-Wash. The original mill burned and was replaced by a second mill in the same location. This mill burned as well, and this time was not rebuilt, but a new mill was built below the village.

“In 1859 the Coleman’s rebuilt and improved their grist mill. James Coleman put up what was the tallest mill in Eastern Ontario, rising five floors above the valley floor at Lyn. It had more powerful yet simple machinery.

After the Coleman business was taken over by the Bank of Upper Canada, a Mr. J. Cumming, who had worked for the Coleman’s, bought it. He in turn, re-modelled the mill and it was said to be the latest thing in flour mill equipment. It turned out 300 bags of flour a day, of several different bands. In his advertisement he stated, ‘The popularity of my various brands for over 25 years is largely owing to the careful blending of the Hard wheat for strength, the Red winter for flavour, and the White fall for colour’. Mr. Cumming was an outstanding business man and a leading citizen of this community. He was killed in a train accident in 1916. His son, Gordon, ran the mill until its closure in 1933” (1)

Unfortunately there are no records of the business conducted at the mill. The only remaining artefacts from the mill are located within the Heritage Place Museum. Stones from the mill have been incorporated into the internal design of the museum in the front room.

Princess Elizabeth

Elizabethtown – The Early Years

, , , 0

Elizabethtown Township

Elizabethtown was named in honour of Princess Elizabeth, the third daughter and seventh child of King George III and Queen Charlotte. According to a recent biography, she lived an unhappy, cloistered life. Vivacious and pretty as a child, she inherited an unfortunate tendency to corpulence as she grew older. She was “artistic, emotional, bossy and outspoken,” and despite her “Heart’s Desire” to be a wife, she seemed destined to remain a spinster.

Princess Elizabeth
Princess Elizabeth

How far away her world was from pioneer Elizabethtown! And yet 6000 miles away Elizabethtown people were among the most ardent royalists anywhere in the British Empire.

Elizabethtown was the first and only township in Leeds County to be surveyed in 1874. In Elizabethtown, Upper Canada, as roads were built and communities grew, the names grew spontaneously out of the soil: the Tin Cap; Hayes’ Corners, Olds’s Corners. As each community aspired to greatness, they changed their names. By the 1830s during the political troubles which exploded in the rebellion of 1837, the idea of ‘loyalty’ among ‘American’ settlers was questioned, and ‘Yankee’ names were suspect as signs of disloyalty. Thus Coleman’s Corners became Lowell in 1837, after the Massechutes mill town, a sign of its industrial potential; in the overheated emotionalism of the day, ‘Lowell’ was too inflammatory, so it was quickly rescinded in favour of the prosaic Lyn, with its English connotations of a waterfall of pool.

There  was a whole sale purging of the old names by the post office starting in the 1850s- think how many ‘Corners’ there must have been in Ontario – which imposed names like Spring Valley that had little relationship to the inhabitants.

Elizabethtown was the eighth and last of the Royal Townships laid out in 1783-83 along the St. Lawrence River, from the Quebec Border to the Thousand Islands. Elizabethtown is the old heartland of Eastern Ontario.

About 1850 something happened. The pioneer slash and burn agriculture had been replaced by a monoculture wheat crop, simply because England needed Canadian wheat during the Napoleonic Wars. Several times after 1790 the wheat crop was virtually wiped out by a wheat midge. “It was brought to the United States in 1779 in bales of hay for the horses of Hessian soldiers brought from Europe to assist the British in the Revolutionary War. Travelling about 10 to 12 miles a year the insects reached Cornwall about 1840 and by 1842 were at Prescott and Brockville taking a toll of wheat crops” In 1843, 200,000 bushels of wheat were exported from Brockville; this dropped to 40,000 in 1844.

The collapse of the wheat economy coincided with the drop in the water table in Elizabethtown, caused by the ‘land butchers’ who cut down all the trees.

About 1850 Elizabethtown went to sleep, like an old soldier dreaming of past glories. “We left everything as it was,” the lady in Forthtown said pointing to the old calendar. It was a long sleep that lasted a hundred years. This is not to say that nothing happened, that time stood still and things fell apart. By all accounts, life was sweet in Elizabethtown. Families grew large, grew small. Farms passed from father to son, husband to widow uncle to nephew in preordained fashion. Local industries, cheese factories, tanneries and blacksmiths came and went, like the railway. “It was a very pleasant spot to be brought up in,” remembered Walter Kilborn Billings in his childhood reminiscences How Dear to My Heart. Most of the older houses in Elizabethtown were constructed between 1820 and 1850, which makes it a treasure trove of historic Ontario architecture, but relatively few after 1850. Elizabethtown became a quiet rural township, with a sophisticated urban fringe along the St. Lawrence – the summer cottage people – and log shanties and privies along the back roads.

Yonge Mills School

School Section #28 Elizbethtown

 School Section # 2 & 3 Front of Yonge

 

The Yonge Mills School house is located on the Yonge Mills Road, approximately 3 ½ miles west of the village of Lyn.  On September 26th 1874 a ¾ acre lot was severed from the land owned by Mr. Griffin and Mr. Phillips and transferred to the Trustees of the Public School Section. The school opened in 1874 and was in use until its closure in 1968. The school was built from stone and similar to others built around the same time period.

In 1954/55 a wall was erected across the room so that the lower level students could be taught by a second teacher. In 1960 a well was dug and a furnace room added. Prior to 1960 the school was without running water and each day a student had to carry a bucket of water from Gardiner’s across the road to the school. The lavatory was divided with the teacher’s in the centre and two on either side for the boys and girls.

The first school in Yonge Mills was a wooden structure located on the corner of Devil’s Door Road and County Road 27, opposite Yonge Mills Church. The second school was a brick structure which held classes from 1859 to 1874. The third school was a stone structure built in 1874 and was open until June 1968.

In 1956 the enrollment of the school was over 50 pupils.

This was a split school between Elizabethtown and Front of Yonge, students from both townships attended and costs were shared.

The school has been turned into a home and is located at 65 Yonge Mills Rd.

Tincap – A One Room School House in Elizabethtown

, , , , , 7

Tin Cap School

(Sectional School #9)

A Brief History of the old Tincap school its’ teachers and students.

When the first frame school was erected around 1802 a shinny cap of tin was set on the cupola. It could be seen for miles, particularly on sunny days.

The school stood near the intersection of Hwy no. 29 and Kilkenny Road on the south sidde of Kilkenny Road. Col. David Breakinridge, later known as the “Duke of Leeds” or “Squire Breakinridge” was given a crown grant at Tincap in 1802 and the school was later built on a lot partitioned from this grant.

The first stone school was built near the Perth Road because of its accessibility to the road. In 1855 the first structure was demolished and replaced by a second school . The old tin cap was retrieved from the first school and placed atop the cupola of the second structure.

In 1894 this second school burned and was replaced with a new frame building and the tin cap was placed atop of this new school.

Early teachers at the original school were Jonathon Lyman and Miss Sarah Booth.

One of the first teachers at the second school was Mr. Bell, then Miss Jennie Smith, of Fairfield, who taught for several years. Later Mr. Morrison, who was described as having one arm, yet quite capable of wielding an oak rod with which he dealt out school justice to the unruly.

Other teachers were Mrs. Shepherd, Mrs. Fred Fulford and Miss Fannie Connor. Then Rev. W.A. McKenzie who was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Brockville for many years, taught at Tincap. He lived in Morristown, N.Y. and commuted daily by boat and foot to reach the school. After rowing across the St. Lawrence he would walk through Brockville and up the Perth Road five miles to reach the school. History doesn’t record what time he had to get up in order to maake the journey on time to open the school. In winter he is reported to walk across the ice to make this trip.

Then Miss Anna Hutcheson of Brockville, Mr. James D. Truesdell and then Miss Martha Maley, who later married Mr. Truesdell. Miss Eliza Fair, Miss Chipman Miss Moore. Later Mrs.J.D.Truesdell again taught at the school and was the teacher when the school burned around 1894.

During this time classes were held in the stone house owned by Mr. M. O’Donnell until the new frame building was ready for classes.

The new frame school was equipped with a Tin Cap and a bell to keep the community linked to the original name. The first teacher in the new school was Miss Susie Hanna of Lyn and some of the pupils then attending were: Newton, Vida and Laura Young; Edward, William and John O’Donnell; Kitty, Edward and Elva Charlton; Minnie Warren, Katie Rogers, Gertrude and Gordon Thompson, Mary Bolger, Edwin Parker; Frank, Eva and Fannie Darling, and Flora Johnston. School records state that when this new frame school was being built, a carpender named Downey was killed in a fall from the roof.

Afterwards Mr. Albert Baker taught for one term. Then Miss Mabel Grant taught for five years. Among others who taught later were: Lena Beale, Rose Bresie, Stella Beale, Margaret Carr, Anna Anglin, Winnie Wilson, Anna Elliott, Violet Elliott, Vera Armstrong, Lela Wilson, Katherine Heffernan, Margaret Clow, Laura Dudley, Hazel Plunkett and Florence Ware.

Spring Valley School 

(School Section #11)

spring-valley-school-1861-62-map
Location of School on a map of 1861-62

Spring Valley School was first located at the corner of W.E. Stewart’s field to the left of Ruben Davis’ driveway. The original school was an unpainted frame building that got so old, it could no longer be kept warm in winter. In 1878 the present school was completed further down the road and opened in September of that year. The foundation for this school was laid in 1877. The land was donated by Frank McCrae on condition that the building be used for both school and church purposes. The first contract to build the new school was not completed and later Harvey Hayes took the contract and hired James Davidson to do the work. The school opened in September 1878 with Miss Jennie Grant the first teacher. The first gathering in the school was a church service on Sunday conducted by Rev. Mr. Blair who was the Pastor of the Lyn Circuit, prior to classes starting. The enrollment of the school in  1902 was 27 pupils and in 1950 was 18 pupils. (The original name of Spring Valley was Niblock’s Corners)

The school had its last class on June 29, 1965, after which students were bused to the new school at New Dublin.

The building is now the New Dublin Library and Town hall located at 4103 County Road 29

Sherwood Springs – A One Room School House in Elizabethtown

, , , , 0

Sherwood Springs School

School Sectional #3 Elizabethtown

 School Sectional # 1 Front of Yonge

 

The first school building was made of logs and located on the west side of Sherwood Springs Road, near the site of Jim Eligh’s brick house. It was started in 1851, but not opened until January 3, 1854. The second school structure was a framed building built on the north side of Hwy 2 across from where Sherwood Springs Rd. now meets Hwy #2. This building was purchased by Fred Latham and moved down to the opposite side of the road and a second story was added.[2]

The third school was located on Hwy #2, where Woodland Park Zoo was built after the school closed. The school, built in 1907, was closed in 1956 with an enrolment of 20 students.

As a shared school between Elizabethtown and Front of Yonge Townships, students from both townships used the school and costs were shared between the townships.

The building still exists and is located at 1764 Highway #2 west.

Seeley’s – A One Room School House in Elizabethtown

Seeley’s School

(School Section #10)

 

Location of school on a map of 1861-62

The original school building made of stone, was built in 1849. The second building, built of brick in 1889, burned one cold winter’s day on January  26, 1957.

The growth of the settlement at Seeley’s necessitated the building of a school. In 1849 one was built on the corner of Sawmill Road and that leading to Leetuck, or Lee Road on the farm of Thomas Booth. This location was on the 6 acres purchased by Alexander Stewart. In 1889 the school became crowded and John W. Stewart, rather than have the new one so near his own dwellings, gave another lot and drew the bricks from one lot to the other. The first teacher of the new school was Homer Moore. On Sunday January 26, 1957 the building was destroyed by fire. Only the bell in the belfry and one baseball bat in the basement were saved. Seeley’s School was built across from North Star Farms at Seeley’s Corners.

The last teacher was Mrs. Allan Stewart and she and her twenty pupils were transported to the Old Lyn Public School. Starting the following September, 1957, the pupils went to the new Lyn School, then to the New Dublin School. (Mrs. Allan Stewart 1967) (The Recorder and Times January 1957)

A teacher’s yearly salary in 1862 was sixty dollars.

The original building was probably a one room log building.

“Old School Victim of Sunday Fire. A venerable brick building built in 1889 was complete. It was destroyed by fire of unknown origins. The school had a capacity for 33 pupils; however at the end it had 20 students. Mrs. Alvin Gardiner, residing nearby spotted the fire about 1:10 pm. Brockville Fire Department was called, but before the men could receive permission to make the trip, a second call was received stating that nothing could be done to save the building. There was no water supply and the nearby creek was frozen solid. The school was a sturdy building that served the community well during the past 68 years. The building was about 40 feet long and 30 feet wide. It had been the means of education for generations of district youngsters. The current students would be bused by Stewart’s bus lines to the Lyn School.” (Women’s Institute History Book 3, Page 174)   

The building no longer exists.

rock-school-1861-62-map
Location of school on a map from 1861-62

The new Rock School was built in 1937. The school was built of native granite, quarried a few yards from the school. This new school is located on Hwy #2 west of Brockville, and west of Oakland Cemetery. It was regarded as a model rural public school with accommodations for over 30 pupils, indoor toilets, two cloak rooms, a teacher’s room, store room and a basement playroom.

The original Rock School was built in 1844, and stood to the west of the present site. Prior to this stone school an earlier log school stood on the bank of Grant’s Creek further east of the present location.

This school has been turned into a home and is located at 1405 McDonald Rd.

The first school was built near Lamb’s Pond, almost across the road from the Ernest Kendrick farm, later owned by Donald Stewart. Later a school was built on the Horton Farm near the present school. No dates are know for the erection of either of these buildings. The second school was torn down and while the third school was being built pupils attended classes in the first Orange Hall, a frame building between the present school and the Methodist Church. The third New Dublin School was built in 1880.

Annie Scott, who taught in 1894, received $310. per year. [1]

The school has been turned into a home and is located at 7406 Seventh Concession Rd.

Lyn School  

(School Section #7)

 

The first school house was located in the centre of the village by the creek. It was abandoned for a newer one room brick school at the west end of the Village, across from the present building. It was in use until 1867 when it burned down. The growth of the village led to a new two story, four room stone school house being built across from the one room brick structure.

The stone schoolhouse in Lyn was built in 1867 and served the children of the district until 1959/1960.  “The classrooms were on the ground floor and the second floor boasted a small stage so that concerts and plays could take place. Parties and dances were held there too” (Lyn 1784-1984 by Mary G.Robb)

The Public School in Lyn was built in the year 1867. Although the first annual meeting of the school, on record, took place in 1876 there were undoubtedly meetings before that, as an entry in the old minute and account book shows that John Halliday was the Sect-Treasurer in 1871.  The first annual meeting of School Section No 7 was held in the school hall Wed, Jan 12, 1876 at 10 o’clock. Mr. Norman Coleman was appointed chairman and R.S.Hudson Sect. The school has to date had 60 teachers. The first school fair was held about 1914 on the old “Tan Bark Flats” with entries of cooking, vegetables, fancy work and collections of butterflies and insects. (Suzanne Coke, 1944) Women’s Institute History Book 3 page 159

The “New” Lyn School opened its doors to 185 pupils on September 4, 1956. It was planned by architect Mr.Prus and built by contractor Mr.J.Saunders of Prescott for the cost of $92,000.  Miss. Anna Hudson was the principal of this new school. As the enrollment of the school increased with the closing of the Howard and Halleck’s Schools, it was found necessary to add four more rooms to the original six room building. The addition was completed and ready for use in September 1963. The enrollment then was 263 pupils. Still the number increased and by 1965 all those pupils residing on the Howard Road were transferred to the Tincap School. In June 1965 the enrollment was 295.

The follow photographs represent our entire collection. We have estimated the dates as best we can. The names that accompany some of the photos have been copied from the photos or attached papers. We know that the names are not 100% correct, in some cases the same names have been repeated on the photos, and the name spelling could be incorrect. Since we are not certain who the individuals are we have left the names exactly as they have been presented to us. If you know of any corrections that should be made regarding dates and names, please let us know. If you have any additional photographs we would appreciate you sending them to us so we can include them.

Lillie’s School

(S.S. No. 12 Elizabethtown S.S.No. 9 Front of Yonge)

lillies-school-1861-62-map
Location of school on a map from 1861-62

Lillie’s School was located at Lillie’s about five miles from Lyn on the Graham Lake Road. The original school was built of wood and located on the west corner of Hendry Road a quarter of a mile west of the new school. The wooden structure blew down in a wind storm. It was replaced by one made of brick in 1880. This school was 40 feet long by 30 feet wide and could accommodate 35 students. The new brick school was used up until school consolidation in the 1960’s. The school was closed in June 1963, and was demolished in 1988.(R&T Focus on the District Feb. 1980)

The school also served as a church and services were held there every two weeks on a Monday evening by Methodists Ministers from Lyn. One the first graduates of Lillie’s School was John Booth who became a provincial land surveyor and helped to survey the counties of Leeds and Grenville.

Lillie’s was a shared school between Elizabethtown and Front of Yonge Townships. This means that students from both areas used the school and costs were split between the two townships.

Halleck’s – A One Room School House in Elizabethtown

, , , , , 3

Halleck’s School 

(School Section #5)

present address 2301 Halleck’s Road North.

hallecks-school-1861-62-map
Location of school from map of 1861-62

On June 28, 1963 the school rang its’ bell for the last time. The teacher at the time was Mrs. Marion Ross, and she was the last person to teach at the little brick school house located on the Halleck’s Road. The 27 remaining pupils from this school were transferred to the Lyn Public School. About 10 years prior there were 34 pupils in the school

The original school was a log school house located in the north corner of the Hallecks Road and No. 2 Highway. Rev. William Hallock built a school before 1810 which had a ready made class: with 16 Coles, 13 Clows, 10 or 12 Fulfords and his own six children. The brick school house was built further north on the Halleck’s Road around 1839. The land on which the present school was built was donated by Mr. Caleb Halloch (Squire Halloch) on May 12, 1838 and was built by Archibald Davidson, a stone mason.

The school was replaced by the present building in 1935, a trim neo-classical brick Edifice.[2] A well was drilled for the new school in the 1930’s and toilets were installed around 1939. In the early 1940’s electricity was installed. Between 1886 and 1900 teachers salaries’ were from $220. to $300 per year. (Elizabethtown: The Last of the Royal Townships by Alvyn Austin pub. 2009)

Heritage Elizabethtown erected a plaque near the original school recalling an incident that took place during the War of 1812. The plaque reads as follows:

Hallock’s School and the ‘Underhill Incident’

“A one room school near here was the site of an international incident before the war of 1812. William Hallock (1770-1836), a Methodist preacher, established the school in a log cabin on his property. In 1809 the teacher was Isaac Underhill, an alleged American army deserter. On May 1, three American soldiers disembarked from a schooner on the St. Lawrence, seized Underhill at the school and dragged him, bound and gagged towards the river. When Underhill broke free and ran, his captors shot him from behind. They then fled to their boat with armed settlers in pursuit. Underhill died the next day. His murder was a flagrant violation of British sovereignty which outraged Canadians and lingered long on local memory” (Issac Underhill is said to be buried in an unmarked grave in the Fulford Cemetery)

The old school was converted into a home and is located at 2301 Hallecks Rd.N.

Greenbush School

 (School Section No. 20)

 

The first school in Greenbush was built of logs in 1835 on land donated by James Haskin. It burned in 1845 after only ten years of use. The second school, made of stone, was constructed on the same site in 1848. It was twice as large as the first. However it was torn down in 1918 in order to build a larger school. Construction of the brick building was completed within six months, In 1905 the school grounds were enlarged, trees were planted and a fence erected. The land for the extension was purchased from Thomas Webster.

While construction was underway in 1918 classes were held in the United Church Hall. Between 1845 and 1848 classes were held above the store at Millhouse and in one of William Olds’ houses.

The first teacher on record is Miss. Sarah Taggart in 1840. She was followed by Miss. Lucinda Keller who received $5. per month.

The school was phased out of the school system in 1965. [1]

The old school was converted into a home and is located at 9366 Addison-Greenbush Road.

“Peter Booth’ School 1842

Dr. John G.Booth’s eldest son was Peter Booth, born at the farm in 1825. In 1842 at the age of 17, he started teaching at the log school in Glen Buell. He had 63 children, ranging in age from 4 to 17, and received the magnificent salary of 2.5 pounds per month. Peter Booth died in 1860, of tuberculosis, leaving a wife and three young children. In 1842, and enthusiastic young buck, he wrote his first report to the district council:

I beg leave to submit the enclosed report of the Common School at present under my instruction. The school house in which this school is taught is on the rear of Lot 31, in the 6th Concession of Elizabethtown on the Main Road leading from Brockville to Farmersville.

All the pupils that have attended resided within two miles of the school house and there are probably from 16 to 20 children more living within that distance from the schoolhouse between the ages of 5 and 16 whose names are not on this report as they have not been in attendance. The school was commenced about the first pf April last, Teachers wages two pounds five shillings per month with the expectation that further aid would be granted from the public monies.” (from Lea Booth, John Booth, p54-55) [1]

The original school was a small log schoolhouse constructed by Eri Hayes in the 1820’s.

The school was closed in the spring of 1965 and pupils bused to either Addison or New Dublin depending on where they lived. Because of overcrowding at New Dublin a few years later, Glen Buell was re-opened for Grade 1 students for a short time.

Location of School- Map 1861-62

The first school was a log cabin built on the west corner of the farm owned by McDougall’s. Johnathan Barr was the teacher and was noted for his stern and strict qualities. When the community became more settled it was found that the school was not central nor adequate enough so a second school was built about a mile and half farther west. This one also passed into history with the erection of a third, which was built a few rods [sic] east again and which is most up to date.[1]

About 1865 a wooden frame school was built west of the McDougall farm and around 1900 the third Fairfield East School was erected. The school was phased out during the school consolidation of the 1960’s. (R&T Darling Collection Bk3)

The post card reads as follows:

Smith’s Falls, Ontario, July 20,1918

Dear Marshall,

How are you and the rest enjoying your holidays? I hope you are feeling better and will be ready for a good start at school. Tell Ranson he failed in Arithmetic as he only got 16 marks and on Literature only 13 marks, and I couldn’t possibly promote him. Tell your mother I’ll write to her soon, your loving teacher M. Maitland.

Great way to ruin someone’s summer!

Addison School

 (School Section No. 21)

There have been four schools in Addison. The first was built of logs and burned. Both the second and third schools[1] in Addison doubled as Episcopal and Methodist Churches. The second school was a stone building which stood beside the third, framed school. This school was moved to Benjamin Scott’s property and used as a horse stable. It was torn down in the early 1950’s. The third school is a frame building which was constructed in the early 1870’s. It continued to be the Addison School until the 1960’s. The building is now privately owned.

In the 1820’s a log school was erected to replace the one room educational centre in the smithy. This building gave way to a stone school which served Addison for 90 years.

Charles O. Stowell, who married the two daughters of John Ketchum, was born in Massechusetts February 17, 1797. Educated in the United States he came to Canada as a young man with a teaching certificate. In 1832 he took a teaching job at the old Addison school about 200 yards south of the old Perth Trail. This pioneer log school was later torn down and the school moved into the Methodist Church. When the Methodists build a new stone church on the other side of the road, now the Addison United Church, the old house of worship became a permanent school. This school served the community for 90 years until it became unfit for school purposes. It ended its days as a stable on the Scott Farm, where it eventually gave way to decay and collapsed.

A wooden frame school replaced the stone structure and in the late 1960’s it was closed. The Addison School was listed as S.S.no. 21

History of Lyn

, , 0

 

Lyn was founded in 1784 by Able Coleman who came here from the United States.  They built their first mill in 1786 located on Main Street across from the museum and to the east of the water falls. The first mill burned and was replaced by a second mill in the same location which also burned. After this the five story stone structure you see depicted in the reception area was built south of the village.

During the 1830’s there was a general unrest with the United States and American names. It was then in 1836, that the name of Coleman’s Corners was changed to Lowell. The new name of Lowell only lasted one year, when after realizing there was another Lowell in Ontario, the name was changed in 1838 to Lyn, a Scottish word for waterfall (Linn).
In its heyday, Lyn had more industry and was busier than Brockville. With the introduction of electricity, Lyn unfortunately, slowly lost its manufacturing base and started to decline.

The Origins of the Lyn Heritage Place Museum

, , , 0

In 1997 the street commissioners of the village of Lyn heard that the old Stewart’s Garage on the Main Street was for sale and thought that it would be a good thing for the village to purchase it and fix it up as a museum for area artifacts and meeting rooms. After much researching of this possibility, it was turned down by the Township Council and the idea was dropped at that time.

Stewart's Garage Museum Photos 1 (2)Stewart's Garage Museum Photos 1 (1)The building, about 150 years old, was in very bad shape. Then came the ice storm of 1998 and the roof of the bus garage at the back fell in and the Township was putting pressure on the owner to tear the building down. About fifty pigeons had made their home in the main garage and most of the upper windows were broken.

In the spring of 1999, a Village Trustee talked to the owners of the building, Dale and Ron Howard of Howard Bus Lines, and was offered an exceptional deal on this property for the village.

2. Before renovations-2

This information was brought to the Lyn Days Committee, and everyone agreed that they should check into the possibility of the Lyn Days Committee acquiring the property.

 

The Lyn Days Committee talked to the owners and learned that there was a very involved title to the property to straighten out. The committee decided to acquire the property.

1. Before renovations-1

In early August the committee was assured the property would indeed be transferred. At a meeting in early August 1999 it was decided the property should be registered to a committee of five people in trust for Lyn Days and on August 25th, 1999 the title to the building was transferred to the committee.

 

On August 30th,1999 volunteers started cutting brush and clearing up the junk on the property. They were soon joined by several other volunteers, machines and trucks. Part of the old bus barn was demolished with a large area of the building being repaired. Work was then begun on the old main garage building to turn it into the main building of museum.
