Fenton's farmhouse in McGillivray township sixty-four years ago. Days were full of hard work for those early settlers. Land had to he cleared, homes built and crops planted. Social life centered for the most part around the church and the school. In order to sur- vive, the early settlers were too busy, or in some cases, too il- literate, to write accounts of their lives. Valuable records were thoughtlessly destroyed by those of us who came after. But thankfully for history, in- Nursery cemetery terested individuals continue to care about our past. Anecdotes of their small corner of the world are remembered, although ver- sions of happenings differ with the telling. We talked with Bill Atkins, who maintains the cemetery grounds. He has ancestors buried at Nursery. and is keenly interested in its welfare. Bill designed and built the metal and brick sign that stands back from the road. He is responsible for grooming the grounds and planting the bright flowers that growin profu- sion beneath the arched sign all summer, Change is all around us, and ever will be. Nevertheless, it, is sad and foolish for us to neglect retaining pertinent records of our families and communities. Boxes of photographs, letters and diaries may be resting forgotten in our attics. Reading and sorting the material could be an educational and enjoyable way to spend a few hours in the cold months that lie ahead. Churches, libraries and Women's Institutes are always hoping to receive historical documents of any kind. If keeping these reminders of your heritage means little to you, then give them to someone who will really care, Although Nursery Church, where the early settlers of that community received their spiritual guidance, has vanished, Heaven forbid that 'progress' will cause any further upheaval of the dream of those resolute adies hear of eye bank pioneers.
