The late William Johnston Currie, son of Robert Currie who settled in East Wawanosh in 1854, remembered many inci- dents of the early days and be- fore his death some of his ac- counts of these happenings were recorded by members of the family. The following is his report of the building of the stone house on his father's farm. The home is now occupied by John A. Currie. It is about one mile west of town on Highway 86. 0-0-0 In 1872 my father decided it was time to build a new house. It was,to be a stone house. The first house, built of logs, had been built some 16 years earlier when my father and mother set up housekeeping. They now had six boys and one girl, and this, along with the accommo- dation extended to way-faring travellers from time to time, brought father to this decision, no doubt. The site chosen was close-by the log house. Nearly all the material used came off the farm. The soil dug out for the cellar, and sifted, provided sand. Stones gathered from the fields were used. One very large stone about 100 rods from the site of the new house, when blasted, provided sufficient ma- terial for the whole front of the house,. I remember the first blast well. The large stone was broken into tour pieces. Robert Thompson did the blasting. The four pieces were blasted into pieces that could be handled by hand. My brother, John T. Currie, aged fifteen, with team and stone-heat drew the stones to the building site. Jaynes Cassie did the stonework. The lime came Irian a place ab011t a mile and a half west and the timber for the lumber and shin- gles was taken off the farm. I remember when they fin- ished erecting the wall; light- ning struck the west gable end and knocked a piece of the wall down. Mr. Nichol was the carpen- ter and did all the work on the Knox W.M.S. Meeting BLUE VALE-- The W.M. S. of Knox Presbyterian Church met in the Sunday School room with 12 ladies and three children present. Mrs. Wm.
