Tells Brewster Dam Story
u ■'/ *
■
Tales of pioneer life have been
preserved in many ways but one
of the most unique is by way of
a hooked rug by Grand Bend
Women’s institute.
This rug, was hooked as a
group project and was entered
in a Salada ^ea competition in
1954. It won first prize in South
Huron district of nine branches.
The design for the rug, which
is 41 by 28 inches, was drawn
by Mrs. Wally Becker, who just
recently moved from Grand
Bend to Dashwood. It was copied
from an illustration by Clare
Bice of. London in Dr. Sherwood
Fox’s book “ ’T Aint Runnin’ No
More,” the story of Grand Bend,
the Pinery and the old river
bed.
All new material was bought

the dam caused the spring floods
to stay too long on the land until
it was too late for tillage. Des
perate in the face of starvation,
the farmers gathered one might,
armed with axes, canthooks,
spades picks, crowbars, and
flaming pine knots, and-'destroy-,
ed the mill.
Even then the spring floods
were unpredictable and the
farmers gradually abandoned
the land and Brewster was “no
more.”
Nothing marks the spot now,
where the mill stood except an
almost submerged log.
The members of the Institute
have considered obtaining per
mission to mark the site by a
cairn or marker of some kind.
Since the competition, the rug
lias been rolled up out of sight

some day a small museum might
be set up to preserve relics of'
pioneer days and they would

obtained and also that the^colors
might not fade.
The canvas was set up in the
community hall and whenever
any of the Institute members had
a few hours to spare they went
to the hall and hooked on the
rug. Despite the fact that possi
bly two dozen different women
worked on the canvas it has a
remarkably uniform appearance.
One-would think the hooking had
been ajl done by the same per
son.
The scene depicts a sawmill
with the huge wheel turned by
the force of the water rushing
over a barrier of'stakes and logs
constructed across the stream
by the early settlers. The mill is
surrounded by forest with tall
pines waving here and there
above the forest line.
History Of Brewster
It recalk the story of Brew
ster, a settlement of English
speaking people, who, about
1830, shrewdly selected lands at
or near the picturesque hairpin
bend of the Aux Sable river.
Among these settlers was an in
dustrious Scot called Brewster;
from him the settlement bor
rowed its first known name.
This site offered the colonists
many advantages. The Settler's
homes lay only a few rods dis
tant from tl. i lake but were
guarded from its storms by the
dunes. In times of tempest on the
lake the river bore the home
steaders’ small canoes or boats
without nine or ten miles to the
south.
■ At first, the nearest grist mill
was at Coderich, a distance of
30 miles. To reach it the colon
ists had to carry their grain by
boat, or on their □acks and in the
same way they brought back
their meal for their daily bread.
Till about 1850, when the first
road was built to connect Brew
ster and Goderich,, their path
was a beaten trail winding
through denim, primitive forest.
Some years later, a mill was
huilt at Bayfield and finally the
settlers constructed one for
themselves
Then the first crude huts were
supplanted by neat houses of
boards and shingles.
In time, from local sales and
from exports to Sarnia, Port
Huron. Wallaceburg and Wind
sor, material prosperity was
gained and the hamlet of Brew
ster became a thriving communi
ty.
, Brewster is listed in the On
tario Directory of 3871 as a vil
lage of 100 population. But the
dam and Till which was a boon
to its owner and the immediate
neighbors brought tragedy to re

In response to our request for
recipes using raspberries we re
ceived one for jam from a friend
who has been very willing to
share her recipes. This is the
method she always uses and it
is always successful, she added,.
We are sure you’ll like the
steps involved.

keep indefinitely without getting
stale,” Mrs. McLeod told us,

hint we heard over the radio,
If you have trouble with the top
