Bayfield Historical Society
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Don Lance, Mon. evening,
September 11, 1972.
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.
