Schools Established
It is recorded in. Belden's A
las that the first school was a
log structure erected on the
farm of George Snell in 1844.
The local superintendent report-
ed in'1853 that there were 74
pupils registered, 35 boys and 39
girls, out of 100 between the
ages of 5 to 16 living in the
section. The teacher was proper-
ly qualified and his salary was
36 pounds annually. The buil
ing was reported to he in. go
condition but lacked playgroun
and sanitary facilities.
In 1850 a second school w
built about three quarters of
mile south of. Crediton. 1t w
a union school with McGillivr
Township which was part• of t
Huron District; at that time. T
teacher was a Mr, Foster an
for :many years S.S. No. 2 w
known as Foster's School.
1853 a third was erected. three
miles north of. the Fairfield
School. Fairfield was the second
oldest.. community in the town-
ship, By 1856 the school for S.S.
No. 1 had been moved to the
present site of Fairfield School.
It is interesting to note that
these first school sections cover-
ed a large area, extending west-
ward as far as the Lakeshore. i
We also note that in the 1861 re-
port the County of Huron .had i
the highest average attendance
at school of any county in Up-
per Canada. By this time there
were 141 ‚common schools in the j
county ad the average salary
for a male teacher was $280'
without board and for a female
$186.

The first teacher was John
Parsons who later owned a mill
and general store at Crediton
and is credited with choosing
the name for that village. When
the school section was divided
and a school opened at Cen-
tralia, the attendance declined
considerably. The Fairfield
School was' used for township
meetings and for voting
for several years before there
was a township hall.
The first church services in
the township were held in the
og school house on the London
Road, then at the church at
Devon. In 1862 a church was
rected by the Wesleyan Metho-
ists at Fairfield on the south-
east corner near the cemetery
Centralia Village
Centralia was first laid out
about 1870 by Mr. Trivitt on the
farm which he settled in 1848.
After '1876 when the railway be,
gan operating it grew rapidly
and gradually superseded the
older settlements of Devon and
airfield, and when a church
'as opened in Centralia, the
ongregation went there.
The work of the Wesleyan
Methodists began in Exeter in
1844 under the leadership of
Rev. Thomas Williams. It was
part: of the • Devonshirearea
which stretched from Lucan to
Clinton. In 1865 Exeter became
head of a circuit and Fairfield
was one of the appointments ;
untilit was moved to Centralia.
By the late 40's and early 50's
the farms along the Ausable
River had been taken up and
mills were being built. One of
the earliest of these was built
by the Esserys across from the
Airport dump. This Was a saw-
mill. Along the river banks the
clay was found to be suitable for
making brick and tile so yards
were opened. There were three
brick and tile yards south of the
Crediton. Road and to the north
six were in operation, Some of
these changed owners several
times while others :remained in
the same family as long as they
were operated. Practically all
tho white brick used in the
houses in this area came front
these yards. Other industries
hear the river were a grist 111111,
a planing mill, and a woollen
miIllt,
is difficult for us to visual-
ize the conditions of life of the
time which I .have written about.
The early settlers faced many
hardships and difficulties. How-
ever, they were of strong and
hardy
o jk and they persever-
eand was .fertile and
soon they were producing abun-
dant, crops. New hoMest and
barns replaced the shanties and
log huildings. Times have
changed gt•eativ and the intro-
duction of hydro and gasoline
!tai revolutionized country life.
