WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1977 PAGE SEVENTEEN THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO 0 •41401040410•••••••••••••••...............••••••••4" WITH MARGARET THOMPSON 0•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• LOOKING BACKWARDS THROUGH THE SENTINEL FILES 10 YEARS AGO MARCH 1967 The lighthouse keeper's home at Point Clark was named to become a national hiMoric site. The house, built in 1859, is at the foot' of one of the oldest lighthouses on Lake Huron. Several years previously the light had been automated with electricity. The Department of Indian. Affairs and Northern Re- sources had acquired the property from the Department of Transport. It was to be marked as a historic site .that year with some mainten- ance to be done on the . building. The light was originally an open flame fed by whale oil. It was subsequently enclosed and an oil lamp installed. ' The flashing mechanism was a clock spring which required winding every eight hours. This arrangement was succeeded by electricity. Both the lighthouse and the lightkeeper's home were built of stone quarried at Inverhuron and floated by barge to Point Clark. Other information reported was that the stone in the buildings was limestone, brought in barges from Kingston,. Jack Campbell, formerly 'of Lucknow, was the last light keeper. 30 YEARS AGO ' MARCH 1947 At: a nieeting of the Lucknow Clansmen Club it was unanimously decided to buy one. of the buildings at the former Port Albeit Air Navigation Sehool, to be used here as a recreational centre. Members of the Lucknow Orange Lodge decided to dispose of the Orange Hall and the building was being advertised for sale. • In a mumps epidemic which started at Ripley in November 1946 only six of the sixty pupils at the Continuation School escaped the malady, with one of the teaching staff not even immune.
