They were working at the Beauhar nois Canal, on the St. Lawrence, about 30 miles from Montreal; a large stone was being raised with a crane, it slipped out of the chain, grazed his side, and struck his ankle, disabling him from working for a considerable time.” Mackenzie eventually became premier of Canada. Some time ago the writer talked with W. J. Reid, near Lieury, the latter a descendent of Hugh Reid, an original settler, who came from Belfast, Ireland, about a century ago and located in McGillivray a few years later. On the Reid estate, lot 14, con­ cession 18,. about a mile west o-f Lieury, the house built ovei’ SO years ago by Hugh Reid and his sons can still be seen. The Reid prop­ erty comprises 150 acres and, fol­ lowing the death of the founder, it was owned for years by his son, the late William Reid, t'heji by William Paton and, more "recently, by Walker Durr.

Garrett in The London Free Press Lieury, the one-tim© active Mc­ Gillivray Township hamlet, has fad­ ed until little remains to attract the attention of passing tourists, now consisting of scarcely more than the church, a -deserted store building and several dwellings. Accounts preserved from the eighties and nineties reveal some­ thing of personalities identified with the Lieury of other -days. Out­ standing are the names of Alex­ ander Smith, Sr., and his son. Alexander F. Smith, who kept the store and post office for years. Henry Levett was an old-time blacksmith and smiths of a later era included Robert Biernes, J. H. Hodgins, D. Mackenzie and J. C. Reid. A picture of Reid’s blacksmith and wagon shop shows a two-storey frame building with the owner’s name in large letters at the top. Wagons and other vehicles are much in evidence. John J. Hymers was a carriage maker at one time, while James Ross plied his trade of shoemaker and William McCourtney worked at tailoring. Andrew Robinson and Sons once made cheese in this part of McGillivray and the carpentering trade was represented by such men as John Buchanan, William H. Pat­ erson and George Robotham. Lumbering activities in this area were carried on by James Baxter and. Richard Waistell, V.S., once practiced thereabouts. Smith’s brick and tile yard, east of Lieury, was well patronized. Lieury’s brick Presbyterian church was built also had that time. Andrew and later treasurer of the township, came to this part of Middlesex ac­ companied by Andrew Robinson, in 1849.
