PAUL'S ANGLICAN CHURCH Rambling With Lucy (Lucy Woods) Spring js here! incy emerged flwm her six-monih’s hibernation on Saturday, April 16, 1966. The bright sun w.a? not the only attraation. It was an auction sale, And if there ri one thing Lucy likes tp attend ilt is an auotio-n, Her husband, is relieved that §he pan no lppger bid she cannot get out of the car! This .auction sale was' Qf speoial interest, though, as R was at “Karlowrie’’ the farm home of Mrs, Ross McGregor, Lot 8, Concession 4, Hullett Township, a friend and former neighbour of Carl’s si'ster, Mrs. Morrils Dunham. And so curiosity to see that district, played a part, too, in Lucy’s decision to malre the break to the great out-doors, Lucy met Mrs. McGregor and her daughters, Janet (Mrs. Tracey Huth) Mary, a nurse and Margaret, a school teacher; and Charles McGregor, an agricultural represen­ tative at Brighton who w’as acting as clerk of the sale for his mother, was pointed out to her. As soon as he’d parked the car where Lucy had a fair view, Carl made off for the wagon near the barn, the center’ of mosit interest for* farmers at a sale. After an hour or so his interest waned and he came back to ’tire ‘car, saying there was much to be sold m the accumulation of several genera­ tions. plus tilings for horses and veterinary instruments-, etc. It was then Lucy learned that (Ross McGregor’s father had been a Veterinary Surgeon. Lucy also learned, subsequently, that the land had been purchased from the Canada Company by Daniel McGregor. The present house was built in 1864 and at that time the main portion of the old1 house was. moved across the road and incorporated in the Rinn residence. Charles McGregor, V.S., took over the homestead from • his1 father. Re was married to Miss Minnie Sipooneir of Clin­ ton, and died in 1930, His son, Ross McGregor, came into this beautiful prop­ erty. He died October 15, 1965. Hus wife was formerly Miss Jessie Ferguson of Clifford. An interesting coincidence in the family tree is that Ross McGregor’s great grandmother had also been Miss Jessie Ferguson (no connection of his Wife). Her husband Daniel McGregor was a Scottish. bookbinder in New York, Perhaps ‘ some people consider Lucy a bit too- curious about one’s antecedents but like her father before her, she is interested in genealogy. And Rucy also enjoyed meeting friends' in. the neigh­ bourhood. Mrs. A. Bongertman who lives1 on the farm across the road, at one time owned by the Durhams, came and spoke to Erma. “Why,” she tasked, “is the farm always called the Rinn place?” One never hears it called the Durham farm.” When Lucy told Carl, he said: “Because the Rians lived there so long.” And then he came up with a story told him by Charlie Falconer, He worked1 with Weston Bros., Bayfield, contractors for the cement work When the road bridge, over that branch of the Miaitland river which runs through the McGregor and Rinn farms, was built over 50 years ago. A political meeting was held in Seaforth. Charlie Mc­ Gregor V.S., went with Billy Rinn wth the laltter’s horse and buggy to Seaforth, McGregor was a Liberal and Rinn a Tory. On the way home their political views clashed, and Rinn asked Mr. Mc­ Gregor to get out and walk. He did so. Next dlay, apologies were made and they Were good friends again. ' An antique reed perambulator With ,the. sunshade Which called to mind the old song, “The surrey with the fringe on top,” took Lucy's eye. Upon enquiry she learned that it had served the William Robertson family in Clinton before comlinig into the possession of the: McGregors and was at least 80 years old. . Then there was a large old daisy - chum. Lucy could ■almost smell the butter milk. She longed for a taste of that fresh beverage such as she enjoyed in her childhood When in various homes, the daisy chum had been opened up and the butter removed. The dash churn at not nearly so intriguing. There were several antique pieces Lucy and Carl would have liked except so full now of odd pieces that they didn't know which ones they could dispose of to make room for’ others; Also these very odd styles wouldn’t exactly /blend in with their con­ glomeration. “Mr.” bought some crocks, large and 'small. Included -in the lot were two glass gallon jugs' and a two gailon stone jug.. One lady asked why people bought old crockery jugs. “Oh, just to sit around as a decoration” replied ’Lucy. “Sometimes they are used for holding such things as pushes.” “But we bought this one for a useful purpose. To hold w-ine,” she explained1. “What kind1 — parsnip, rhubarb or dlandelian?” asked the lady with apparent interest, wandered if she were an expert in the making of prized home-made wines). “Dandelion” replied Lucy’s spouse — but she that he won’t be making it Unless he finds Someone to pick the dandelions, for he was incapacitated With a sore knee all summer aftei’ picking them 'in 1964. . Lucy, Carl and Erana left when the sale of farm imple­ ments commenced'. It -had been a grand afternoon. As they drove off, antique dealers were carefully loading thiedr purchases' of odds -and ends handed down from past gener­ ations. On the way home Lucy observed the landscape. It looked rather gloomy despite the sunny' d'ay. Then it came to her. The landscape needed a good wash after the grime of winter! A nice warm rain would freshen up tile still dormant trees and clean the earth. her own home was of furniture which that .“Tire Hut” is (Lucy much avers Rev. R. W. Wenham, L.TH,, Rector Mr. W> H.
