Stones of Early Settlers Placed in Permanent Base WROXETER-Through the co- operation of the Howick Coun- cil and several interested citi- zens, the old Anglican ceme- tery in Wroxeter has been clear ed and the stones mounted in permanent forms. It is only fitting that the burial places of the early settlers be maintained in beauty, as a memorial to their amazing courage. Bill Morrison of Mildmay did the cement work. Rev. E. C. Att- well, the former rector and now of Ashbury College, Ottawa, was most interested and help- ful in this project. The cemetery is located on the farm of Anderson and Ar- thur Gibson. Originally this land was taken up in 1856 by Robert and Thomas Gibson, who were millwrights from Scotland, The Maitland River bordered their farm and they obtained the needed water rights. Ro- bert Gibson was the grandfather of the present owners. An 4 • Best Trish, FOR A ~-� 9oou.s Sh,ristm,a WINGHAM BOWLING ALLEY agreement was made for land to be set aside for an Anglican A, cemetery on the north of the lane and a Presbyterian ceme- tery on the south, When the ti Wroxeter cemetery, on high- Ai way 87 was opened, many bodies were moved from these A cemeteries but some of the As o�s••A first settlers are still buried , there. ' °l In the Early History of How - ick Township by R. W. N. Wade, it states, "It might be A well if we today paused for a A moment and acknowledged the debt we owe to the pioneers of Howick Township. A tribute could be paid to these first settlers, if the remaining head- A stones were placed in a cement7"•4,'1SaS07 ano a An a -70,n PAn' ', base, so as to be preserved for all time." The Wroxeter Anglicancem- etery project has now been completed and it is hoped that others will follow this example. May the spirit of Christmas bless you and yours.
