Early History of the

to know
From a paper presented at
Clandeboye Women’s Institute.
In the opening of this story, of the
early history of Clandeboye it is in
teresting to note that the place of
bono,r is occupied by the name of
Captain J. W. Evans. He was the
first settler in this* district.* He ar
rived here in the year 182!5 and set
tled on the farm next east of the vil
lage. This farm was afterwards
owned by members of the Flannigan
family, and is now the home of Mr.
Moore Cunningham. Captain Evans
was a retired farm, and
these facts very little can
ent be learned regarding
would be very interesting
Jhow lie came so far beyond the more
settled areas and what experiences
this new land led him through.
In 1844 the axe of the roadmaker
first sounded in dense forests of this
fair land, and the colonization road
from London to Goderich was con
structed through our district. This
has now become Provincial Highway
Number Four, and still continues to
he, as it always has been, the chief
Toad of the Clandeboye district.
The settlers then began to arrive.
In 18 44 came Mr. Patrick Flannigan
and his family who took up a home
stead and built a store and hotel
This building stood on the corner
now occupied by Mrs, Andrew Pat
ton. About this corner a thriving
Village, called Flannigan’s Corners,
began to grow.
•Mr. Flannigan was a typical Can
adian pioneer, sympathetic, 'whole-
souled and open handed. Like the
genuine Irishman t'hat he was, he
was hustling, cheerful and fond of
practical jokes, and at the same
time thoroughly hospitable, warm
hearted, and charitable to all men
He was the rearfounder of the Clan-
-deooye settlement.
It wag in May, 1830 that he left
Ireland for this new land. Arriving
in Montreal, he worked for a time
on the slow, new abandoned Rid-
deau Canal, and arriving at York,
now Toronto, he was for a time em
ployed at .the lake font of that town
receiving freight at the wharf. Later
he moved to the County of Went
worth, and settling at the Village oi
Water town, he built the fir?

Duing the Troubled times
Rebellion of 1837, he raised
pauy of recruits for Captain Field,
and continued in this company in
the office of sutler.
For the next four years he worked
on the Wabash and Erie, and after
‘ this he took up a farm in the Town
skip of Yarmouth, in Elgin County.
He farmed there, for two years, and
it was in May 1844 that he moved to
the spot we not call Clandeboye, and
laid the foundation for a new

He was industrious and
spirited and had the interests
settlement at heart, and when under
the new Municipal Act, the Town
ship of McGillivray elected its- first
Council, Mr. Flannigan was chosen
as the .first Reeve of the Township.
This honor was forced upon him for
several years in succession. All
this time he was Captain of the
Militia, and later was made Coroner
In 1851 he was made Clerld "of the
Division Court and ill this office he
continued to servo the community
until his death, He died in the year
1864 in his 64tli year.
Both in public life and in private
lie had made friends everywhere,
and was immensely popular; and’at
his funeral, the procession was
miles long—-the largest funeral
has been known in the County,
He left a widow, four sons,
three daughters.
His eldest son John, succeeded in
Clerk of the Division Court. He later

of real excitement to both the little

same time, it added a great deal to
the prosperity of the village.
The same year., an honour that the
cities would all have striven came
unsought but highly, appreciated to
the Village* of Ireland. Loro Duffer
in, the Governor-General, came and
paid it a splendid visit. Everything
about the settlement pleased linn,
and made him feel quite a.t homo,
for, as .he said, it reminded him of
his own home at Clandeboye, far
away on the other side of the broad
Atlantic. In honor of his visit and
as a sincere compliment to himself,
the village changed its name to Clan
deboye, the beautful it seems des-
r tied to own permanently.
In 1860, the first Methodist
Church was built, Rev. Mr. Fee was
one of its early ministers. This still
continues to prosper, and
called the Clandeboye
Church.
The game yeai* I860 saw
school opened. It was built on the
lot and now occupied by Mr. Ward
Hodgins. The first teachers were:
Mr. William Roche and Mr. Wm.
Forenan; and from that day to this
the children of the CJantlgboye vi
cinity have always had one of the
best schools in the iCOunty. The
first inspector wks Mr. John Dear
ness, who some years . earlier had
taught in Lucan and still has most
pleasant recollections of this whole
neighborhood. Though *he has now
retired from active work, he still
lives in London .South, and con
tinues to be one of the foremost
educationists of the Province.
In 18GO, the Temperance Hall had
its beginning; two of its prominent
officers were Mr, Daniel IShoi’f and
Ml’. David Collins.
In 1862, Mr. J. Hicks opened the
first harness shop in the village.
In 1872, Mr. „W. Easton started
the first mill here. This was built
near the railway station close to the
passing, track. Thtife building -was
I destroyed by fire. The mill was af
terwards rebuilt twice, but each
time was destroyed by fire.
In 1875, the London, Huron and
Bruce Railway was built. This is
today part of the Canadian National
It immediately formed another val
uable link between our settlement
and the Village of London—the first
being the London and Goderich high

But when the sheet is printed and is

On its way to the subscribers, I have
never seen it fail-—
In the centre of the front page, in a
most conspicuous place,
Some typographical error
kicks you in the face.
For the typographical error is a slip
pery thing and sly,
You can hunt till your dizzy, but
it somehow will get by;
Till the forms are off the presses it is
strange how still it keeps
It shrinks down into the corner and
it never stirs or peeps.
That typographical error is too small
for human eyes,
Till the ink is "on the paper, when it
grows to mountain size,
And you see that blasted error, far
as you could throw a dog,
Looming up in all its splendor,
a lighthouse in a fog!
That glaring blunder juts out
an ulcerated tooth,
Where it dodged the eagle vision of
the napping comma sleuth.
It is sure too late to mend it, but it
fills your soul with rage
As you see it swelling loudly in the
middle of the page.
