The meeting was chaired by Mrs, Morgan Smith and the minutes of the previous meeting were read by Mrs. Gwen Pemberton in the absence of the secretary Miss Ethel Dewar. Mr. Don Lance extended a very heartfelt welcome to their home and spoke briefly on some of the artifacts found in their backyard and on a few of the many items displayed for the meeting. Mrs. Lance gave a history of 'Edwards Store" situated on Main St., next to the Albion Hotel, which is now their ,a12,041.1e store and summer hoMe. She thanked the following people who have aided her in her research of the property; Mrs. Lucy (Woods) Diehl, Mr. Carl Diehl, Mrs. Leroy Path, Mr. John Lindsay, Rev. George Youmatoff all of Bayfield; Mr. Bob Taylor, Varna; Rev, E.J.B. Harrison, Sarnia; and Mrs. Alma Bassett, Goderich. Mr. and Mrs. Lance purchased the Edwards store property in 1967, but they first visited Bayfield in 1939, and have been here every summer since then. The property they now own was known for more than 50 years as Edwards Store. Thomas H. Bateman built the store between 1850 and 1860 and was reported to be the first big store in the village. In 1851, records show Bayfield had a population of 125 and had four general stores. By 1863-4 the population had risen to 500 with 88 businesses and professions being recorded. From facts gleaned, Mrs. Lance found that the store was sold to Mr. William Wright from Mr. Malcolm Cameron in 1867 and in 1869 Mr. Wright sold it to Mr. Robert Morrison, (The original store had six rooms above the store. Later two rooms were added to the north west with a basement under). Mr. Morrison ,continued in business until 1885. (A ledger, carefully kept by Robert Morrison was on display). In 1887 Mr. Henry F. Edwards (age 61) of Strathroy purchased the store and entered into this venture. His son Frank (then 21 years of age), accompanied his parents to Bayfield, A kitchen was added to the west in the 1890's when Frank Edwards married Florence England. By the end of the 1800's the Edwards store had a thriving business and numerous sheds were built behind the house. (supposedly for storage). In 1898 a daughter, Floy Hester was born to Frank and Florence Edwards and in 1906 Grandpa Henry (known as Harry) passed away, but had deeded his property to his son Frank in 1902. By notes kept in small handbooks on display, Frank Edwards was an active and devout Anglican, and through his college training in accounting he had kept detailed records of purchases, saIeg, Vtc. Mr. Frank Edwards died in 1938. fa In 1967, Donald G. at-le-Lois A. Lance purchased the Edwards store from Mr. Lorne Sparks, (also an antique dealer) who had previously purchased it in 1958. Mr. Sparks remained as a tenant until 1968. Mrs. Lance also had on display two personal Bayfield scrapbooks that brought back many memories, numerous papers and books, pictures and tWo family Bibles that Mr. Lance said belong to Bayfield history, not to the Lance's. Mr. Ed. Oddleifson moved a very special thank-you to Mr and Mrs. Lance for inviting Bayfielders into their home and sharing another page of Bayfield's history. Delicious cuts of home made, pie (made by Mrs. Lance), along with tea and coffee were served by the gracious host and hostess. PERSONALS Inadvertently omitted from , last weeks write-up of •the displays at the Bayfield Fall Fair was an artistically arranged exhibit by Miss Ethel Dewar, County Librarian for Huron County. Miss Dewar had set-up a very fine display of books with an attractive arrangement of miniature Dutch dolls, accented by numerous books on history, fiction, non- fiction and many varied books of interest.
