Doubledee Family Settled in Howick Township in 1860 By Frederick Doubledee The Doubledee farm, , which is one .of the few farms in Howick Township that still remains in the original family name, is comprised of 109 acres, being lot '9, conceesion A. A 'mistake in the survey of this line caused the farms to vary from 100 acres at concession 1 to 110 acres at Belmore. This particular farm was bought from the Crown on the sixth day of July in the year 1869, by Frederick Doubledee for the sum of $299.50, . Frederick came to Canada with his mother and father, Edward, from Norfolk, England, when he was only three years old, in 1832. There were four girls and three boys in the family. ' They Brat Settled in Uxbridge, York County, in 1855. Frederick married Sarah Smith of Whitby, who had come with her parents George and Sarah Smith, from Manchester, England, when she Was seven years old, In the year 1860 the Doubleciees Moved to Howick and some years later took up three farms on the Wroxeter-Belmore road; James in Turhberry, Edward mid Frederick in Howick, The present Doubledee ferns was one of the last to be taken up in this district on account of a waterhole on the front of the place neat the road, which gave it a rather swampy appearance. Several attempts have been made to drain this hole and remove an ugly scar on what is otherwise a fertile and well drained fun'. On this farm Frederick and Sarah built a small house and barn, and tatted ten ehildren; Emily, Melinda,. Edward, George, Lticilla, Sarah Atm, Ietederiek, Lena and Beta, two of whom are still living, Lena, Mrs., Robert Rae, of Siisitatoort and Rota, Mrs, Win, Minns,. of Harrifitoil, In the year 1806 thelarm became the property of George William, who had inartied Sarah.

Miller of Grey, and Frederick, the present Owner. , The original barn was replaced by the preseat one in 1806 and in 1910 the present house was built, • Sarah died on April 12th, 1942 and George in August of the same year, At that time the farm became the property of Frederick who had Married MarjOrie Baker, of How - kik, In Jape 100.

I tried to say no to him in a polite way, explaining that I also have: a charity close to my own heart and prefer to give what I can spare to it. I am afraid I lost a friend because he became quite testy with me; particularly when I offered to trade cheques—I'd give him fifty for his pet charity if he'd make out a similar cheque in favor of mine, That really upset him. Later this Morning two nursing sisters .ettlied• and collected a tea,, dollars from me, and I know they will spend them well. They dist not try to tell me how much to give or where my duty was. They offer- ed me the chance to be charitable, whereas my friend had tried to sell. me, had been aggressive and even nasty. I am reasonably sure that-latfore the day is out, others will call here. I cannot afford to give to all of them. I am afraid. I cannot always afford to give even to those who are gentle and of a charitable nature themselves, although in those eases do my best. But like others, 1 must not make a big fellow out of myself at the expense of my own family. I know there are other men in this same building who must be embarrassed iii the same way that I have beats it is 'impossible lo pay today 'S high rate of texatton and at the same time give enough sunrise!, to private chat:aim Of 1 he two, I'd much rallies give privetely.

I'd rather hand that out myself to the nursing sisters and the Salvation Army and the Community Chest. I hate itaving tot arms of hereau orals to Use money oul, of me is, pay to charity.
