the naming of the viliage to •the

pioneers had of identifying the
community. Gradually Bell's grave
became Belgrave,' the permanent
name of the commitnity,
With the increase of settlers,
buildings' went up quickly, A fine

Promoter of L.H,&B.
ame 'Morris 1853'
Petrick Kelly, one of the strong-
est promotors for the building of
the London, Huron and Bruce Rail-
way, lived in Blyth the greater part
of his life, but first settled on Lot
13 Con, 7 with his parents...,
• Hewes bOrn in Ireland, His fam-
ily' lived in Carleton COunty, when
they first came to Canada and
then moved to Morris in 1853.
Patrick started his career as a
farmer. After thirteen years of this
occupation he puchased mills in
Blyth.
A very influential man in local,
municipal and political affairs, he
was the first man north of Exeter
to' call a public meeting in regard
to the building of the L.H. & B, and
was one of the most active sup-
POrters. .„
During the negotiations concern,
ing the railway, Bificlulph ToWnship
decided not to contribute, a bonne
to the cause. Since all other town-
ships, villages and towns were SQ
keen to have the railroad, the
mueicipal officials of Bicklulph felt,
sure .the railroad would he built
whether they paid or. not, and it
was only reasonable that, it, would,
pass through the Village of Lucan,
•Patrick Kelly was a man of de-
termination. He used his influence
to see that the L.H. & B. skirted
Ltican about three Miles west. Thus
Clendeboye came into being and
the businessmen of Lucan had to
team their prOducts to the new
village.
Committee Chairman
Emends Welcome
A hearty ",welcome home" to all
former Morris Township old boys
and girls to our centennial. We
hope you will enjoy every minute
of your stay among us and that
your memories of these and -other
days will be the happiest of youi
life. '
Morris 'was incorporated as s
township in 1856 and 'has how
reached its 100th birthday, Thii
we are celebrating with school,re-
unions, church services; band core
certs and nearly other entertain-
ments.
For many it will be more than a
centennial—it will be a reunion of
old friends, with old times discuss-
ed and stories of the past exchang-
ed. •
Time has brought a great many
changes to lvforris Township. Early
in its history there were no radios
or television, ino daily mail, no cars,
no 'telephones — in fact, most of
these things had not even been
thought of when the township had
Its beginning.
- Today the log-cabin homes of our
feltefathers have been replaced by
modern brick houses, yet the
churches and the schools of those
early settlers still stand, side by
side with our modern ones.
• In retrospect, one can realize the
great spirit and foresight of those
adventurous men and women who
left" their homeland to pioneer this
new land"of ours. With crude tools
and, determination they forced
themselves to succeed. Their suc-
cess is our heritage. With all our
facilities we can only look upon
those pioneers with' awe and with
reverence and hold them dear in
our memories.
As we pay tribtite to the men and
women of the past, we must believe
and hope that 'the people Who will
live here during the next 100 year,
will pay similar tribute to this gen-
eration.
This issue of the paper will con-
tain the last of many recollections
of the histoiy of Morris and we
realize we have 'not been able to
do full justice to all who have
built the township,
Seine of the readers may be dis-
appointed when they find an an-
cestor or a friend unmentioned, We
have tried to present the back-
ground history of Morris Township.
in the short settee of time we have
had at our disposal, If there are
any =teethes we ate tuly sorry,
My thanks ,to those Who have
contributed ele 'this short histoty
and to the committee for the Very
Voidable assistance they have giv-
en. To those who return, my Sin-
cere welcome home Ito Morris
Township arid to this Centennial.
Yours truly,

A new highlight was reached in
the life of the mill this summer
When the new Co-operative store
was opened. ' The store and mill

of the labors of the early pioneer's
