Greely Grist With Mel Tomkins Manotick Station welcomed first train 125 years ago One mile north of Greely there is a heavily travelled road known as Regional Road 8. Motorists travelling this road between Highway 31 and Manotick will notice two new signs bearing the words "Manotick Station'. Between those signs the person travelling through crosses a set of railway tracks. This rail line is the Ottawa Prescott line of the C.P.R. and trains have been travelling this railroad since 1859. A great deal of research on the history of the area has been done by Micheal Miles, Darwin Veroba and several other interested persons. They have unearthed some very important information. Records show that land for the right-of-way was bought from Peter Tomkins in 1852. Additional land was purchased in 1853 to make room for the erection of a station. The orginal station was built some one hundred and fifty yards south of the road. It also contained living quarters for the agent. Later it was moved a short distance farther south so that passengers would not have to cross the rails of the siding to board the train. At a later date the Kemptville station was brought on flat cars and set up beside the old one which was moved back from the rails and made into a house for the station agent. This former Kemptville station was sold a few years ago and moved about a mile west. It can now be seen close to the Regional road and is the home of Oswald and John James Fox. The settlement was once almost entirely of Irish origin Common names in the area at that time were Burns, Bulger, Fox, Downey, Nolan, Redmond, Murphy, Kulfoyle, Obrien, Tierney and Tomkins. One of the first station agents was Thomas N. Johnston who had come from Oxford Station some forty miles farther south. He married Hannah Tomkins the daughter of Henry and Ann Tomkins of the adjoining farm and continued as agent until his retirement about 1922. At one time in addition to the station and the section house used for storing the railway workers equipment there were two sheds for storing flour and feed unloaded from the trains. Also there was a coal shed and a cattle yard. Now these are all gone and all that remains is a neglected railway line. A committee has been set up to make plans for a celebration this year to commemorate the 125th anniversay of the first i, GEM FENCING 8:00 p.m. SEE FARM UPDATE '79!
