Although the creator never took advantage of the patent, he made history by inventing the first electric clock in the world. An aggressive pioneer, George Hess built three tower, clocks which still run today. One of them is in Exeter Town Hall, another in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Zurich, and tho third in Trinity Lutheran, Church, Sebas- tapol. Although pioneer Hess didn’t become famous for ,his electric clock, another Zurich man be­ came widely .known in Canada and the United States for his athletic prowess, He. was C.

Zurich is also noted for its re­ ligious background. This village of 600 people supports four churches -- St! Peter’s Lutheran Church, St, Boniface Roman Cath­ olic Church, Evangelical United Brethren Church and Zurich Mennonite Church. An early history of the village is told'in the centennial booklet produced by the committee for this year’s celebrations; Zurich was first organized by a Swiss, Frederick Knell, who settled on Lot 21 of the • 11th Concession, in* the Township of Hay. The property was purchased from Andrew Hey and registra­ tion -was effected on the 3rd day of July, 1356. He at once launch­ ed a development program. One year later a post office was es­ tablished with three times a week service from Bayfield. - Frederick Knell was the first postmaster and at the same time operated the first general store. Soon .after, he expanded his ac­ tivities and built the first grist­ mill in the .To.wnship of H^y, He also erected a sawmill. These in­ dustries Were.-built on the prop­ erty known as the Mill Survey, Founder Became Reeve' . During his lifetime, the found­ er of Zurich was active in all municipal affairs, and served four years as Reeve of Hay Town­ ship. Mrs. Knell was a school teacher by profession and taught in Zurich and community. The early settlers of 'Zurich were predominately of German origin. The first family to settle in Hay Township, was that of John Oesch who arrived in the year 1846.
