Last Sunday evening, at supper
time, Mrs. Samuel Van Gunten of
King Street east in Oshawa called
at the door to enquire about her
grandfather's place - the late
Alfred Woodgate, of Ripley. Mr.
Woodgate came to Ripley from
London, England and established
Ripley's first lumber planing mill
and lumber yard. Later he sold
these to the late Harry McMullen
who operated them down to the
1940's or thereabouts. Harry built a
new house - the one in which Lloyd
and Jean Wylds now live. About
1912 Mr. McMullen sold the first
Woodgate home to the late D. B.
MacLeod who owned and operated
at that time the Royal Hotel
(burned in 1974). The late Charles
Wylds used his threshing engine to
draw the house down the' main
street and placed, it to the north of
the hotel. It has been owned by
different people such as the late
Dawse Bradley, Bill Steer now
living in Lucknow, and the late
Mrs. Ernie Pollock. To make way
for the new Royal Bank site, the
bank bought it last year and re-sold
it to John D. ' MacKay who
lismantled it with the help of his
;ons. After leaving the mill site,
he Woodgate family moved into a
louse on a back street in the west
)art of Ripley - McGill Street. The
louse was later known as the
Ieorge Emmerton house. Then the
Woodgate family moved away to
'ort William. The Woodgates and
he Cornishes' of Huron Township
'ere relatives. After locating these
laces as directed in Ripley, the
arty went to Kincardine where she
lade further enquiry from Ed
farrison and a phone call from Ed
)r more information provided us
ith a chance to get her name
meetly. She is the former Gladys
rOodgate and in Kincardine
emetery she found the grave of
grandfather.

During mid morning last Wed-
nesday, June 29, 1977 Mr. Frank
Zulycz, who was the super in
charge of putting up the new Royal
Bank building at Ripley's main
corner, left Ripley in the red pick
up truck bound for the company's
head office in Grimsby that
afternoon. Frank, who was the man
with the white hard hat at the site,
represented the Edland Building
Systems of Grimsby who had the
contract.
Frank came to Ripley on the job
on April 18th. A soldier in the
Second War on the Eastern front,
he came to Canada in 1947 and
while here he proved to be a very
interesting and talented person.
After his Grimsby meeting on
Wednesday afternoon, he planned
to return to his Toronto home in the
Walmer Road district north of
Bloor street west. Here, at his
home, one of his hobbies is keeping
a hive of bees which is doing very
well with three supers of honey
already this summer. He is missed
on the bank site here where activity
has quietened right down since his
departure. A couple of his bigger
jobs inchlle York University and a
three thousand foot long cement
plant in the Kingston area.
