Thomas McMichael' • . ,James McMichael
Only those who . have passed the
middle age in Hullett will remember,
the first reeve of the townsLiire and
these will at once recognize him' in
the above photogitdvure. But to the
younger generation it should be of es-
psecial interest as depicting one of the
worthiest of the early pioneers. .
The First Reeve: ,
Thomas McMichael was born in
Kirkconnell, Dumfrteshire, Scotland,
ix 1830 and nineteen years- later eamc
to this country and took up lot two
on the second concession. It consist-
ed of one hundred acres for which he
paid the Canada Company $3.50
per acre; Two years later the par-
ents and the remainder of the family
eame out. It . • was a large family,
there being six sons and four daugh-
ters, of whom now the only surviving
members are James and Mrs. Knech-
tel, both of whom have been reel -
dents of Seaforth: for several years.-
and finally retired with the good
t t. wishes of the whole municipality.
The :'ubject of this sketch was one
of the first importers and breeders of
Clydesdales in Hullett and for sever-
al years was the most preeminent
exhiltttor of that class of horses .. at
the County and Provincial Fairs.
Be was public spirited too, and
found :time todevote to municipal af-
fairs, Ile was the first reeve and for
eight years filled that position. He
was always successful at the. polls
I Thirtyseven years ago he joined the
great majority and was survived by
4three sons and seven daughters of
iwhom, the survivors are
Mrs. David Dor renc.e, Mrr.
John Turner, Mrs. Wm, Snell, Miss
Jane McMichael, Seaforth, Mrs.
John F. Dale, Hullett, . James
on the holirestead, Thbs.,. the well
known horseman on the 2nd' of Hui-
• lett, and. Robert in Waupteton, North
, Dakota.
The Wee. Bowler.
James McMichael of Seaforth is the
only rr'trviving brother of the first
reeve. 'or' years he farmed in Hul-
lett ant eld timers tell of their keen
but faieikfly rivalry at Agricultur-
al Fairs, particularly in Clydes-
dales and dairy pro.luee. Mr.
McMichael tetiredd from farming sev-
eral years ago and has since been ?i'-
ing at ease in Seaforth. His princi-
pal recreation °is lawn • bowling
in which he is very enthusiastic and,
notwithstanding his: eighty-seven
years, he still putts up gond,a game
as the best of .them and is known
wherever bowlers do congregate in
Western'Ontario as the "Wee BOwler."
lie has been president of the Club for
years and its . handsome lawn is a
gift from him.

Mr. Harrison was a native of` God-

of the best barns • in • the township

For a great. many years he was de-
puty returning: .officer in the fourth
division' arid neither partiality • ' or
slackness did he evcP show in the' per-
formance of his duties.'
Mr. Harrison was a, staunch member.
of L.O.L. No. 928 and Tuesday of

he •had' missed in many years. He
turned out with the 'boys in the mcr-
