After spending three years at Exeter the family moved to Turn berry.

At that time where the Bank of Commerce is now located was a swamp in which wild rice grew which attracted the ducks, much to the delight of the nimrods of that day. Mr. Powell was for six years Reeve of Turnberry and for five years As sessor and the last year what is now Wingham but then was Turnberry he assessed the property. At the time of ■ Confederation, he was but 15 years of age, and acted as poll clerk. For forty years he was agent for the Howick Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
