Artifacts from Nile United moved to other locations
Adieu
The congregation of Nile United Church bid its last
goodbye to the church during a ceremony in late March.
The church was levelled at the beginning of April, with a
marker being left to commemorate the location where Nile
and area church-goers congregated for 156 years. (Denny

ACW discusses snow removal
at dangerous intersection
Graham Denman, a spokesman for
residents of Meneset Retirement
Community and the surrounding
area, addressed Ashfield-Colborne-
Wawanosh (ACW) Council about
one of its busiest intersections;
Highway 21 and Airport Road/MTO
Road, just north of Saltford.
Denman stated that, due to the
surrounding area, that intersection
accumulates snow more quickly
than other areas and could quickly
become a problem for emergency
and service vehicles.
In Denman’s correspondence were
plans to dig out portions of the land
around the road to provide a plateau
for snow to collect on and be plowed
into to prevent dangerous driving
conditions.
Council agreed that something
needed to be done, and stated they
would attempt to set up a meeting
with the Airport Authority, Goderich
Town Council and the Ministry of
Transportation to discuss the
restructuring.
Continued from page 20which was built at the corner ofLucknow Line and Hawkins Road,one concession north of Nile in
1855.
Just over 10 years later,
construction began on a small,
white, one-storey church at the
current location of Nile United
Church. The church was finished in
1869 after three years of
construction.
The congregation quickly outgrew
this new church though, and, just
over 30 years later in 1903, beganconstruction of a new church on thesame location. That church is theone that was torn down this month.
The demolition of the church was
unique as several parts of the church
required an engineer on site. It was
discovered that several items, now
most likely considered antiquities,
were buried underneath a
cornerstone as a time capsule.
Included in the church’s time
capsule are financial statements, lists
of members, copies of programs and
books from 1903.Several artifacts from the churchwill be viewable at other locationsincluding a cross that Nile Church
was given by Port Albert United
Church when it closed. The cross
will return to Port Albert and be
housed at Trinity Church there.
The Royal Canadian Legion in
Goderich will be housing the
memorial plaques which list those
who served their country from the
area in the first and second World
Wars.
