St. George's Church Celebrates
• i' Its Hundredth Anniversary
Notable History 01 0odericb s
Anglican Congregation
(The information given In this ar-
ticle was complied by Rev. J. N. H.t
Mills, the present incumbent of Si,
George's (harch.)
The history of St. George's, Goder-
lcb, is a long and glorious one. The
that rector was the Reverend Francis
Campbell. His father was a captain
In the Royal Nevy, which, doubtless,
accounted for the fact that the son
went at an early riga to res___Upon
the earnest solicitation of his lances
he forsook the position of a junior
officer which be then held In the navy
and entered Magdalen College, Ox-
ford, on the first of December, 1820.
At the age of twenty -Oa be was made
deacon, and prlested in the same year,
1824, on the lett of December. He
was first appointed asslstaat curate
of the parish church of Cherton,
County of Wilts, England, In March,
1824. On the day following his ele-
vation to the prlestaood he was made
curate of the parish of Little Lang -
county of Wilts. On the Otb of
ebruary, 18211, be lieeamt ztitre"
the parish of Id(miston, in the county
of Wilts. From this last parish be
went to Dunkerque, 1n France, early
in 1832, and was appointed chaplain
of the English chapel there"ttffetbe
26th of March, 1834.
,In the autumn eft 1224, Mr. Campbell
came to Canada,: Se had offered
himself to the earch Missionary'
Society of England and was sent by
that organisation, as the first Angli-
can missionary In the Huron Tract.
Mr. Campbell and his family made
their way along the freakily -felled
Huron trail. It was Sunday when tbe
rector arrived ti- its - destination, -
where he was immediately taken to
the house that Thos. Kneeshaw had
built for himself, a rough, lath -and -
plaster structure with fluted wood-
work painted brown, having French
windows glared with small lounge
panes of glass. It consisted of several
wings which covered much ground,
and had a number of gables. The
house fared North street, situated
close to that street about a hundred
feet from Nelson street. Here the
rector farmed his little glebe, permit-
ting his war•wounded horse and bis
geese to roam upon the aemmons.
There was no agate buildiag of
any communion ea Mr. Campbell
came to Gellerlee. 1141.11111s, Metho-

house. In addition to his parochial
duties in (eider1ch and throughout the
Hurts Tweet, Mr. Campbell waa chair..
man of tbe school board and master
of the. Grammar School. He con-
tinued in this latter position until it
was decided that no clergyman receiv-
ing aid from the Church Missionary
Society shnuld engage In secular work.
While the rector had, In all prob-
ability, performed many sacramental
acts In the Huron Tract prior to 1835,

tism on the 1st day of February In
that year. Hilt first recorded mar-
riage was on the 5th day of the same
month, 1835. The records begun by
Mr. Campbell at the early date were
faithfully continued and preserved by
alt his successors and are still in the
possession of the rector of Goderich.
After carrying on services in the
schoolhouse for three years, the An-
glican congregation removed to Dr.
Hamilton's barn, improvised as a
temporary church, with square pews,
double -decked pulpit. an altar, cur-
tained choir conducive to the conduct
of public- woothip. Here Bishop

was the scene of a pretty wedding Sat-
urday afternoon, July 14th, at 4
o'clock, when their only daughter,
Vera Frances, became the bride of
Mr. Albert E. Stedelbauer, younger
son of Mr. and Mn. J. E. Stedelbauer.
The ceremony wee performed In a
corner of the spacious living -room be-
fore
o-fore a bank of hydrangea and delphin-
ium blooms. Rev. W. L. Davidson,
pastor of St. Paul's United church,
was the of5clating clergyman. The
bride, who was given In marriage by
her fatbe-, was lovely In a gown of
white net and picture hat to match.
She carried a bouquet of Butterfly
roes and Illy -of -the -valley, and was
atteuded by the matron of boom, Mre
Elliott Stedelbauer who wan wearing
pink chiffon, and matching picture hat.
As the bridal procession entered the
living -room, Miss Pauline Stedelbauer,
sister of the groom, played the Bridal
Choral from Lobengrin. The groom
was attended by lets brother, Mr. El-
liott Stedelbauer. During the riving
of the register, Miss Verna McGuire
of Chatham sang, "I Love You Truly."
Following the ceremony, a buffet
hashes was seared by four friends
of the bride, Misses Ertle Mennell,
Jean Smith, Clara Tupper, and Muriel
Sealey. A toast to the bride and groom
was proposed by R. H. McAllister.
The bride's mother, Mrs. Kennedy,
was becoming in a dress of printed
chiffon, and Mrs. Stedelbaner, mother
of the groom, was gowned in rose
crepe with brown accessories. Mr.
and Mrs. Stedelbauer left later on a
motor trip to Eastern pointe. includ-
ing the Maritime Provinces. For go-
ing away the bride chose a black and
white satin ensemble. On their re-
turn they will reside on Bidwell

Select Bite
The site selected for the permanent
church building was the property of
the late 0. F. Carey on tbe Crescent.
Under the rector's supervision a red
brick edifice was erected and the land
about it was used as a burying
ground. Within the church, at the
west end, was a gallery where the
tory lawn were hewn down to maks
way for tbe church. One would be
void of ail esatimeat (uid he not
appreciate the Impulse which caused
the blinds 1n the south windows of
the rectory to be drawn that day.
Bricks, salvaged from the old church,
were built Weller ler wails of the new
church and some oflb ._brlc"ii *et
recovered when openings were made
through the church walls In the
course of the construction and en-
largement of the Parish House In
1924. The new church, It was evi-
dently determined, should not be des-
titute of the Gothic lines of which
tbe old church appears to have been
innocent. The present St. George's is
a tribute to the architectural taste of
(Ooatleued on pap 4)
organ at first stood. The pews were
of the b1 h -back bon type, with calk -
toned seats and closed at the ends by -
means of doors. At a later date a
chancel was built on the east end by
the chur., t and a new organ was in-
stalled .therein. Unfortunately no
known photograph of the exterior of
the church is extant, although In one
of the early map -drawings of God-
erich this church is shown. With Its
high, square -topped, oblong windows
and boxlike appearance, this first St.
George's looked as much like a fac-
tory as a church.
In 1849 Mr. Campbell resigned the
rlsi-eel.-Gedesteh.- aat4•.beame- tee
first incumbent of the parish of Bay-
field. The church there, like the
first church here, was built by him.
The Reverend Edward Lindsay El-
wood was born In the barracks of
Cork, Ireland, on December 13, 1810.
His father was Captain Elwood of
the Seventh Fusiliers. He was brought
up in Dublin, being educated 1n a'
private school of that city, and later
graduated from Trinity College, Dub-
lin. His first parish was Tandeage,
County of Armagh, and his second,
Drumkanagher, County of Roscom-
mon. He came to this country In
the year 1849. After six months as
locum-tenens at York MiUs,1e was
sent by Bishop Strachan to Goderich.
Mr. Elwood was a large man, physi-
cally and in every other way. The
extent of his pariah Is one indica-
tion of his capacity for work. Dur -
Ing the earlier period of bis ministry
his parish included Seaforth, Clinton,
Holmeavllle, Dungannon, Port Albert
and other points as well as Goderich
and its environs. He held church and
eottage services In scores of centres
which he reached by norseback and on
foot.
The rectory to which Mr. Campbell
came, and which Mr. Elwood occu-
pied for years, was replaced In 1862
by the present rectory. The grounds
were the pride of the parish. How
the children loved to romp and pla7
In this garden on -the occasion of the
annual Sunday school picnics. Fruit
trees, shade trees and ornamental___
shrubs screened the rectory from Nei -
son street. Flowers were bedded In
artistic profusion.—
The debt upon the church having
been eliminated, It was decided to
have it consecrated. Bishop Helamuth
performed this ceremony on Sunday,
November 16, 1879. On the morning
of the following Saturday the church

of the church in the Motherland. —
Among the thinly; saved, however,
was the beautiful communion plate
which is still used upon the greater
festivals In St. George's. During the
Interval which elapsed between the
deetrnctloe of the old church and the
completion of the present one, ser-
vices were held In the courthouse.
Because It was centrally located, a
portion of the property upon which
the rectory stood was chosen as the
site for the new St- Georges. It was

BUTT FAMILY PICNIC

The annual Butt family reunion was
held at Ilarbor Park, Goderich, on
Monday, July 16. The day was ideal,
with a cooling breeze coming off Lake

was expressed by all at the absence
of quite a number who were unavoid-
ably kept away through illness. Boun-
teous meats were served by the ladies,
who proved themselves quite equal to
the occasion.
