r !z'^ L.jb „„
its European counterpart, Zurich, I reputation -for hockey and base-
j^ced his "invention of an elec-
^■k clock in 1888;
Bteorge Hess, grandfather of
The present jeweller in Zurich,
received a patent in 1889 for a
clock which he operated on dry
cell batteries ana later on an
Edison gravity battery. 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. A.
“Babe” Siebert who starred for
14 years in the.National Hockey
League, ' ‘
Born in Plattsville, Siebert
moved to Zurich in 1913 and
played ball and hockey there be
fore turning professional with
the Montreal Maroons.in 19 2 4.
After an illustrious career as a
player, Babe was named coach
of Montreal Canadiens for the
1939-40 season but death inter
vened in his tragic .drowning in
Lake Huron on August,128, 1939.

baseball team of 1921 which- won
the North Wellington League
Championship with 40 wins and
two losses; and the Lumber
Kings of 1955 who reached the

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

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. Among the earliest

to erect their buildings of tho
.most enduring materials. Some
of them are- standing,today after
the ravages of wind and weather
of one hundred years. In the
year. 1866 the Baptist Church was
erected with John Sumpt as pas-
