RITER ,RECALLS• ' HISTQRY
OF HENSALL .DISTRICT FART
(By MAU'DE ITEDDEN, in Ithe'
London Free' Press)
Evergreens Farm, now= Trelaigne,
lot 6, 'concession 1;- Tuckersmith,
was ; originally owned by: Mr. and
Mrs.:; Robert McArthur. ' ;Mi. Mc-
Arthur came 'from Scotland with
his parents about '1835, .the, same;:.
day. Jean Bell, who was to be his
futuree left Fort wit r William; n.eat
Ben Nevis,. Scotland, with her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Roberti., Bell,
nine brothers and i''sisters. They
settled on concession 1 T
,. ucker `.
smith.'
In •1844 RoberrylcArthur bought
his 100 acres of bush land from the
Canada Company for cash, ` paying
$3.50 an -acre, or for the farm.
This farm was in a ,favorable ds%
P
tion a„i
s t bordered on the London
road,'one of . the' main am roads or
trails at that' time althoughh it wasp
only a corduroy road. A log house
of moderate size was built: on the
farm just north of site of theP -res-
ent home and -a barn was erected.
On February: 26, 1846, Robert Robert Mc
Arthi -brought his bride, :•' Jean
Bell, to their new home.
During the: following Years, 12
children were born to .them: James,
who died in leis; teens; Robert,
Paul, John,. Arthur and :' William

Gregor),

McArthur, died in 1906 at the age
of 79,their whole lives after their
marriage' having • been spent :at.
`The Evergreens:”
In September of 1897, Jim 'Mc-
Arthur married Alice Welsh,`daugh-
ter`' of Richard • Welsh, carpenter
and. contractor, Hensai. In her
aecount she says:
'Sometime after Father McAr-
thur's: ,death;-` "a new briiek iioiise
was built for: -Mother McArthur on
the corner of the farm, and'.n, sis-'
ter of Jim's • kept 'house for . him
until ,we *ere married.
"I went as a bride to the Mc-
Arthur, farm in September, 1897,
and lived in.the original log house
for over two years. When the farm
was bought, .it was all -solid bush,
se clearing, the land was a major
problem and took a long ; time.
There were still 40 acres of bush
to be cleared when 1 was married.
"Periodically a minister from
London visited all the settlers,
marrying those who wished: to be
married ,and christening all the
babies born .Since the last .visit:.
These visits -caused quite a . stir
among them, especially among the
ladies, who always Wanted extras
in, file; line of baking when the min-
ister came. ' ^
"At that time, Bayfield, 17 miles;
away, had the closest grist mill,,
so white flour was quite a treat
and supplies were closely guarded.
When flour was needed the farmer
would tie tWo bushels of wheat, one
on each side, on the back of what-
ever animal he had, and walked
alongside. On :one trip Father Mc-
Arthur made, his mule stopped at
' a certain spot and no amount of
urging would budge `him. Finally
a slight noise caused Father Mc-
Arthur to look tip and there he saw
a wildcat, waiting to spring: A&
settlers always carried a glut oii4
such a trip, he: shot the wildcat°and•'

one wasnever sure of what they

bears, wolves. and wildcats -some-

about a bear:arentl-A the'men

was 'aleine.i the

TheL-shaped': ra e
frame barn;°"40 by

was erected in. 1894. The present
home, 32 by 32 feet, was built in
1899, _l y...Richard.: Welsh; Mrs. Mc.:
Arthur's father. It is brick veneer
andfollows the square style of that'
period: A bathroom, uncommon at
that time, was installed when the
house, was built. The' water supply'
Came ' from r an` "overhead 'tank

cistern on the .bathrooms, and was
fed• by rain water. Another :'cistern
in the basement 'took-care'cif ,'the
kitchen needs, The, hard water
came from a well near the house.
• The 'Jim McArthurs' moved into
their `new hone in 1900 and, elec-

year, the power coming from a
plant in the village .,of, Hensel.
About 1909 the telephone, was -add.
