ION ta.00 A Year in Athena, $2.60 To U.SA, POST PUBLISHING HOUSE THURSDAY, OCT. 22nd, 1964 THE BRUSSELS POST, History Of St. David's Church, Henfryn, 1882 - 1964 (By Mrs. Thomas Kerr and Rev. H. L. Jennings) In relating these historic facts we pay tribute to the work of the pioneers of Grey and Elms Townships, many whose names are forgotten. The church was the central part of pioneer life. This church is situated on Lot 8; and lot 9 east beside the church. From Brussels you travel east on County Road No. 16 and turn to the North at a sign that in- forms you that Henfryn is .06 miles, The late• Archbishop David Williams told me that the name Henfryn meant "Old Hill" and the church was named after the Welsh Saint David. The property was purchased from a Welshman Edirin, Clark Kearns Davies, the registry date, March 10th, 1882. The pine from Mr. Davies' saw mill near by was used for the floors, doors, and pews. The bricks came from the brick- yard across the road from the mill. David Edgar helped haul sand, and Andrew Laidlaw of Lot 3, Concession 1' helped haul stone . One day about 2 p.m. he had a load at the building site when darkness fell. His faithful team took him home, not over a highway, but east of the church to the river, along the river, and over the trail to some. This "dark. day" was caused 'by the groat Chicago fire in the 'fall of 1880. The 10th Concession was fast a trail • through the bush at this time. James Longmire, an old- -country earpenter made the TieWS. The Reverend O. J. A. Batstone was the first incumbent. He also served In Leamington, Kingsville, and Colchester. Mr. Cluff, a student, later Canon Muff, 'preached in the summer of 1882. from 11884 till 1887 the records tell of students Robinson and 14. 'Griffin, then Rev. B. 'Eddlestien, Rev. W. G. Ecclestone, and Rev. E. M Yates, Rev. Et Lee 1802-03, Rev. J. F. Parke, Mr. Hooper, Student 1895. The church was consecrated by Bishop Baldwin, 'June 5th, 1894. Rev. S. R. Asbury 1896-97, Rev. T. G. Wright 1699, Rev. T. H. Farr, 1899-1901. The church was closed from 1901 until July 24th, 1905. Contributors to •St. David's, Henfryn at this time were. W. Annett, W. Baker Sr,, W.
