They never went in much for traveling around, three do a good deal of reading appear to be remarkably well formed on what is going on in world today. The name Hoggarth in Hibbert township is much the same as Bal- lantyne in Downie or McCallum in­ Easthope. The father of these members of the family was the late Thomas Hoggarth, Miss Hoggarth and John were born in England and it was from Liverpool that the late Mr. Hoggarth sailed about eighty- three years ago for a new land. That new land was Canada. Miss Hog­ garth is unable to remember the voyage, but she and her brothers often heard their father speak of it as being one of thd' first trips by steam across the ocean and of strik­ ing great fields of ice. The brothers of the late Thomas Hoggarth had arried in the bushland of Hibbert years before that and a total of five farms had been taken up. It meant plenty of hard work, felling trees and clearing land, but those grand pioneers succeeded in doing what they set out to do—build homes for themselves and for generations to come. Miss “Polly” Hogarth does all the sewing for her two brothers and her two nephews and she even makes the work-shirts for the men.
