Quitea number of years anterior to the time the village derived its present name and when the surrounding vicinâ€" ity was yeb sparsely settled it was known as Cox‘s Oreek. Ibt was a‘so called Lower Wool wich post offica. The first two farms of which the village is & part were cleared up by Alpheus and Alexander Smith. They were â€"sutssâ€" quently owned by the late Sheriff Davideon and William Manu. About the year 1853 Henry Lamâ€" phier, who came oub from Enogland, purchased both farms and proceeded to lay out a village plob, but he finally abandoned the scheme and sold cut to the firm of Allen & Mathieson. The latter gentleman inaugurated quite a boom in real estate, and for a time the indications woere promising for the ereation of a thriving commercial center in the wilds of Woolwich. They appro:â€" priated a large tract for a town and in 1855 engaged J. Macintosh, P. L. S, to survey. the same and divide it up into town lots. Aun elaborate map of the town was issued, a copy of which is still in the possession of Mr. Joseph Stork, who kindly opeaed it out for my inspection. The village was systemati cally laid out, having streets made runâ€" Yoet, as we emerge from the woodâ€" land meadows along the river and approach the long substantial bridge spanning the stream. west of Winterâ€" bourne, the magnificence ¢f the ecene doss not diminish. After you ascend the hill and take a position of observaâ€" tion in front of the Methodist church and cometery a vast expanse of pastoral landscape stretches out before you, a scene of rural life which can only be appropriately described by one who is gifted with postical language and subâ€" lime conceptions, As the visiter leaves this spot and approsches the main highâ€" way he has a view which is one intendâ€" ed to convey the impression that Winterbourne isa viilage of magnificent distances. At Beriin, & distance of nins miles, I could distinctly see the church steeples glistening in the mornâ€" ing sunbeams. To the south the eye can survey a vast extent of level counâ€" try, though sufficiently rolling to insure good drainage. To the north the coun:â€" try is more or less broken and hilly, but of a ratber picturesque and romantic apect and through which flows Cox‘s Croek. I could plainly see upon a commanding elevation the picturesquo village of Cunestogo with its cozy bhomes and ornamental shade trees and mapleâ€" embowered streets. The river meanâ€" dering sweetly within its woodâ€"fcinged banks in Nature‘s native taste together with the lofty maples and giant elms casting their shadows in the depth of the sparkling stream and the adjacent flats brilliant in their garbs of vivid green and golden dandelions just peepâ€" ing above the surface was a scene to thrill the soul and administer balm to the physical body. Itwas while on this journey admiring Nature in her mildest grace and listening to the feathered songsters which abounded in countless numbers I was forced to the conciusion ard it cannot be disputed that _ this route along the Grand river is unsurpassed any where else in Oatario, taking into consideraâ€" tion ordinary rural landscape,. In the language of the poet and tha lover of all thatis beautiful in nature I can cheerfully rcf r to it thusly : *A various sylvan scene Appears around, and groves of living green, Where blooming meads with flowers are crowned, And growing violets throw their odors round. ]" Had I been wandering through the famous and aweinspiring gracdeur of which we hear and read so much about from enthusiastic tourists in foreign lanis, I do not belisve L could bave experienced any more pleasure or benefit than I did in the early hours of this lovely May morning. To the rear through the trees which were jast beginning to don their livery of green One morning last week I journeyed overland from Conestogo to Winterâ€" bourne. I am not a bicyclist and not being in possession of any mechanical contrivance to convey me to my destinâ€" ation I used what Nature gave me and travelled via the Foot and Walker Route, The route taken was along the northern side of the Grand River.

Canadian Block Ont As near as I can learn the namwe was changed from Cox‘s Creek to Winterâ€" bourne about 48 years ago. The first store was kept by oneWalterHomewood. He was foilowed by Joseph and John Snider, Among the first incumbents of the pioneer post office were the venerable Donald McKay and an eldâ€" erly maiden lady named Gordon. Since hen there have been numerous changes. The first mail carrier ~was the late Captain Smitb, grandfather of the widow of the late George Stork, who sow lives & retired life in the village, and to whom I am under many obligâ€" atiors for valuable information relating to the early days of this section. Capâ€" tain Smith was a distinguished officer in the British army in the war of 1812 and was about the first white settler in Woolwich township,having commenâ€" ced life in the wilderness on the farm now occupied by the venerable Conrad Stroh and his son George in 1810. He was a U. E Loyalist and came from New Hampshire, his ancestors being among the patriots known as the Pigrim Fathers, of May flower memorâ€" ies. â€"Ho commenced carrying the mail about fiftyâ€"cight years ago and continâ€" ued in the service until a short time prior to his death, the indirect result of a paralytic stroke, passing away at the age of 82 years, 5 months and 1 day, April 15, 1850 His mail or stage route was over & cordurcy road, the greater portion of it leading through a dense wilderness and extended from Winterbourne to Presâ€" ton via Berlin, Bridgeport and Glasgow. The latter plase was a small hamlet where many years ago the late Jacob Shoemaker did a flaurishing mercanâ€" tile business, operated & saw mill and manufactured oil cakes,. Two days were required to complete the round trip, consequently be was on the road, rain or. shine, every day in the year, excepting Sunday. Ho was often subjcted to severe exposure during the winter months and on one trip had the misfortune to freeze one of his feet so seriously that he was rendcred a cripple to some extent for the reâ€" mainder of his days. He was also for many years a government ewigrant agent and at the time of his death he was living in the old log house adjoinâ€" ‘ing Robert Homewood‘s cider mill. It is about the oldest landmark now standing in Woolwich Township. At that time the post office was kept in a log building, now bidden from view of the passer by on the Albert Gordon farm . His granddaughter, Mrs. _ Stork, mentioned in thefore part of this sketch, is a daughter of the lateWilliam Sexten, who was a shoemaker and had a shoe shop on the corner of King and Queen streets, Berlin, where she was born in 1836. She was married to George Stork in 1853. He was born ia Yorkshire county, England, and died about 17 years ago. He wasa blackâ€" emith and built a frame blacksmith shop where he worked at his brade until about the year 1860 when the building was destroyed by fire.. He erected the present stone structure occupied as & blasksmith shop by Mr. William Smith. In 1861, the year of the breaking out of the civil war in the United States, they moved to Michigan, but returned to Winter: bourne in the following year, 1862. According to the map of the new town there were 250 lots, and a large number had been sold, the prices rangâ€" ing from twentyâ€"five to seventyâ€"six pounds each, according to location. Atb the time the survey was made the vilâ€" lage received its present name, being derived from Winterbourne in Eog land. _ Allen and Mathieson also erected the grist mill and gave enâ€" couragement to other industries. In i‘s palmiest days the village could bsast of a grist mill, saw mull, stave mill, heading factory,tannery and paint mill. But the latter in the course of time were either abandoned or desâ€" troyed by fire, and the grist mill, which was destroyed by fire about six years ago, was the most serious blow to the village. Nothing remains at presgâ€" ent of its manufacturing industries save the saw mill of Mr. Johnathan Shantz _ There is some talk that the grist mill will be rebuilt. The comâ€" mercial decline of the village is probakâ€" ly due to its isolation from railroad facilities, which some of its rival sister villages now enjoy. But leaving the latter disadvantage no other village in Waterloo county is more favorably situated, and should it in the near future have the good fortune to get a new grist mill there will be a considerâ€" able increase in its business life. The lvillage also possessed more valuaâ€" ble natural advantages than it does now. It had unlimited water power. North of the creek are seviral mineral springs and paint beds. _ The waters are strongly impregnated with iron and are said to be of consideratle medicinal value and I understand that of late efforts have been made to establish migeral baths in the vicinity. The paint beds are comprised of different stratas, among which I noticed yellow, Indian red and other staple colors. These beds were revealed to the white man more than a century ago by the Indizns who utilized it for decorating various articles and to demonlike transform the faces of the warriors when on the war path. ning north and south and east and west. In addition to the lots for residence and business purposes large park lots were laid out along the Grand river and quite an extensive lotb reserved for a market and public square. Judsâ€" ing by the map the projectors of the plan exercised eplendid taste, and had their ambition been fuifilled, Winterâ€" bourne toâ€"day would be one cf the moss flourishing towns in vke county. The location was one of extbraordinary picturesqueness. At ite eastern corâ€" porate limits Cox‘s Creek entered and flowed in a straight course through the center of the town aod emptied in the river at the western boundary line. In the canter of the creek was an island, which, by artificial means, could have bsen coaverted into a spot of exceedâ€" ingly pleasing attraction and beauty.

Mary, wife of Joseph Hardy, _died Dec. 1, 1886, aged 84 years, 10 months and 12 days.. George Millard, died January 10, 1876, agod 83 years and 19 days; his wife, Hannah, died May 3, 1867, aged 79 years and 1 month. Christinsa, wife of Finly Mcâ€" Kay, borno in Rogart, Sutherlandshire, Scobtland, January 11, 1777, died in 1857, aged 80 years. Thomas Smith, died April 15, 1850, aged 82 years, 5 montbs and=â€"2 days. John Durrant, born April 4, 1791,died April 29,1882, aged 91 years; Mary Annade, his wife, born Nov. 5, 1792, died Decombsr 17, 1875, in the 85 :h year of her age, both natives of Suffo‘k county, Eagland. Among the Aged Living. Loeaving the sacreod prezsin¢ts of the dead I proceeded to interview some of the living, who are yet enjoying robust health late in the evening of life. The first called upooa was the venerable James Burnetb. Hso lives at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sherriffs, about a mile north of the village, The resiâ€" dence is a stone structure overlooking the forks of the Grand River. Beyond my expectation, instead of meeting a man decrepit by the we‘ght of many years, I met arobuss and exceedingly jovial old gentleman, with a good memâ€" ory and eyes that enable him to read the finest newspaper print without the aid of glesses. He is ajtypical Scotchâ€" man, being a pative of Aberdesushire, Scotland, where he was born nearly 89 years ago. In 1836 he came to Canaâ€" da, and direct to Winterbourne when there were only two white settlers livâ€" between here and E‘ora. He worked out from home as a firm band from the time he was seven years of age,and gave his carnings to his parents in Scotland until he was aboutâ€"22 years of age. He cleared up a farm of 120 acres and now has about 190 acres. At the time of his arriveal wolves were very. numerous and as also was other big. game. ‘The nearest bridgo was then at Bridgeport, _ He is one of a family of thirteen children, nine of whom came to Canada. When asked if he indu‘gâ€" ed in the flowing bowl he replied that he had used liquor since he was boro and has also used the weed for many years. He walks about the farm withâ€" out any difficulty, whatever, and can digest his usuel diet of meat and solid foods as well as ever. Heo: will unâ€" doubtedly reach the century mark. Donald McKay, This agâ€"d citizen lives & retired life in the village. _ He was born in Sutherâ€" landshire in the Highlands of Scotland in 1814,and be and his wife who is now in the 74th year of her age,came to this place sixty years ago. The old gentleâ€" man is consequently in the 84th year of his age and enjoys good health, They came to Canada in 1831, when Guelph was yet a smal! setblement in the wildâ€" erness. For btwenty years he followed the profession of school teaching and for which he now draws a pension of $134 a year from the Government. Mr. George Mackis, sr., died Feb. 25, 1890, in his 85th year. Wim. Gerrie, died March 4, 1861, aged 84 years; his wife, Clementia Ssewart, died March 24, 1855, aged 79 yoars; natives of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Dorothy Young, wife of John Darran*, died February 11, 1890, in ber 84th year. John Garrie, died July 29, 1896, aged 85 years and 6 months; his wife, E ‘z.â€" beth, died S:ptember 7, 1395, aged 91 years and 11 months. John Burnett, died July 22, 1891, aged 83 years and 22 days. Janet Anderson wife of John Pirie, died March 3, 1896, aged 90 years. The remarkable longevity of life in many peop‘le who are now living and have lived in this vicinity in the past, might be taken as evidence that the locality is a very healthy one. Io the Presbyterian burying ground a short distance south of the village I found. in reading the inscriptions upon the tribâ€" utes of imporishable marble, quite a number of scames of persons who had atiained the ages of eighty years and over, which are given here as follows : "And what changes we all know Long years can bring in one small place, In nam s and shapes from {ace to face, As souls will come and souls will go. They sold oub to Mr. Smith about 23 years ago. They had 7 children, but only two are living, Mrs. Priscilla Hamilton and son Cicero. The latter is engaged in the lumber business at Two Harbors, Minnssots, and the former is a widow living with the mothor. Mrs. Stork is an intelligont, motherly lady with an excellent memâ€" ory that renders her narratives of the days of long ago of more than ordinary interest to the compiler of pioneer reminiscences.

The Presbyterians have a commod:â€" ious brick edifice in which to worship. The interior is nicely finished, but not in extravagant style. _ The church grounds are neatly keptb, and particuâ€" larly so is it in regard to the cenetery of the denomination. Usually village graveyards ara found in a di‘apidated condition, but here is an exception. The lot is securely fonced and the graveâ€" stones are all. in their proper places. The yard has a general air of roverence for the dead. In this case I am reâ€" minded that with some people the grave in time bhides from the memory of the living the tears they shed when it was closed forever upon the remains of a loved one. In my travels through the county I often came across country graveyards in the worst stages of diâ€" lapidation. It is a shame. In my nextletber I will give a sketch of the Methodist church, business men now here, and old settlers in the imâ€" mediate vicinity of Winterbourne. In The present pastor, Rev. A.M. Hamâ€" ilton, M. A., took charge May 22, 1877, baving already continuously _ served twentyâ€"one year:. The church where be at present conducts services was dedicated in 1870. The stranger who meets Mr. Hamilton is not surprised at his long retention as a minister in one placeo He is kind, affable and courteous to all whom he meets.. That cold and indifferent demeanor towards the stranger, a feature so common with mapy pastors, does not form a&a particle of Mr. Hamilton‘s anatomy. Gentleâ€" manly courtesy on the part of a minig ter has often more powerfual influence with men of the world than a‘l the elcquent sermons that can be preached from the pulpit, Previous to entering the ministry Mr. Hamilton taught school for six years. _ Ho is a graduate of Knox Oollsge, and preached his first sermon in 1872 in Hespsler and Doon, at the former place in the morning and the latter in the afterâ€" noon. Heis a native of New York State. His flock now number about 154 members, and comprises the leadâ€" ing Scotch families of the neighborhood. He lives in a cozy and spacious brick parsonego, high and dry above the picturesque revine through which flows Cox‘s Oreek. _ I noticed that he possessâ€" ed a well stocked library for a village parson, and could I have an opportuniâ€" ty to afford the time it would give me groat pleasure to scan the pages of the numerous volumes ib contains. The Presbyterian Church. An important body and one that has been in existence for many years in this section is the above named society, The first building erected to serve as a place of worship for the poineer Presâ€" by terians was in 1831. The old bui‘dâ€" ing is still standing in rear of the new brick structure, being now used as a Sunday school room and for meetings of a public character by the village. The first minister was the Rev. Ross. He was followed by the late John Gerrie. The late Sheriff Davidson also occasionally conducted services. The Aa@ld Kirk portion of the denomination was supplied by one, Mr. Gibson, of Galt, Both branches of the church held services in the o‘d ‘ uilding. On, or about October 17, 1334, Roav. Jas. Thom was inducted as psvtar. He died Nov. 28, 1868, after ba : g faithâ€" fully served fourteen years. ‘Whe next pastor was Rev. Geo. A. Yeomans, who was inducted December 21, 1869. . He afterwards resigned for the sake of perâ€" mitting the O d and Free congregations to unite, and the last meeting held by the former body{was on March 26, 1876.. The union took place the following summer and the first services under the free dispensation were conducted by Rev. E. H. Sawyers, then a young college atudent, now located abt New Westminster. _ OJn October 7, 1857, Rav. George Cuthbertson took charge of the Free congregation. Some time in 1863 he accepted a call from St. Thomas. Ho is now retired, living in Toronto. The nexb was Rev. E_ Graâ€" bam, now Dr. Graham of California, who was settled here in 1864. He a‘so accepted a call from Sb. Thomas in 1869. The next minister was Rev. Hugh Thompson, who came some time in 1870. In 1873 he resigned ard now lives & retired life in Muskoka. McKay was for six years a so‘dier in the British army, being a member of the 93rd Sutberland Highlanders. In 1837 8, the time of the Canadian Roeâ€" bellicn, his regiment was aboard & transport anchored ir ths Cove of Cork, preparing to seb sail for Gibralâ€" tar, but the order was remanded and they were sent to Halifax instead. From Halifax they went to Toronto and just in time to participate in the Prescott eng:gement, under Sir John Colborne, then Governorâ€"General of British North America. The old vetâ€" eran tells of an interesting incident on this occasion : The soldiers broke up aneight day clock for fuel to boiiapot of potatoes. Mr. McKay‘s father was also a soldier in the British service, beâ€" longing to the 71st Glasgow Highlandâ€" ers, and lost his right arm at the siege Sceringapotam in the West Indies. His school teaching days were princiâ€" pally spent in Woolwich and Waterloo tewnships, his first school being held in the old Mennonite meeting house in Preston, which stood on the present site of the new brick church of that denomination, This was some time in 1843. Mrs, McKay is still smart and active for her ago and possesses a very retentivememory, bsingable to recallinâ€" cidents of her early childhood most dis tinctly. Fler father, John Durrrant, was a native of Suffo‘k county, Eogâ€" land, and emigrated to Canada in 1831. She is a sister to John Durrant, jr., aged 82, of Waterloo. The name Darâ€" rant is a prominent one throughout the county, but ib is claimed by Mrs. Mcâ€" Kay that the name has never yeb been brought into court, excepting through some member of the family bsing sumâ€" moned on the jury and as witnesses. Mr. and Mrs. McKay were married in 1845, and reared a family of six chi‘dâ€" ren, four sons and two daughters. They live in comfort in their old age from the proceeds of a farm they own in Pilkington, Toronto, May 17th, 1898.â€"The receipts were fair at the Toronto live stock market toâ€"day, being 91 fcars, including 15 left unâ€" sold last week.
