Starting at Elginfield their first stop was at St. Patricks Roman Catholic Church for a most interesting tour by Father Finn, of the recently restored church. From there they travelled to Lucan for a tour of Kaschper Racing Shells Ltd., on to Meadow Crest on No. 7 Highway, the travelling north along the second of Biddulph where many Hodgins families still live, Austin told them the story of Colonel James Hodgins, the first settler in Biddulph, who worked with the Canada Com- pany and was responsible for settling much of Biddulph Township in the 1830-40 era. The next stop was at the Butler Cemetery on the second of Biddulph, near No. 4 Highway, overlooking the little Ausable river. The Bulter fami- ly had the little graveyard well groomed and although the tour didn't include a stop here, everyone insisted on stopping for a walk through this historical and sacred spot. A delicious lunch was ready for the group when they arrived at St. Patrick's Anglican church, at Saint- sbury, prepared by the ladies of the church. Mary Davis had a short history of the church and communi- ty prepared and asked Charlie Cor- bett to read it. Following lunch the tour continued west to No. 4 highway, then south through Adair, pointing out St. Peters R.C. Church which•is the only remain- ing building of that small hamlet, on through Mooresville, drawing atten- tion to historical places such as Nursery Cemetery, Lewis Cemetery, Century Farms in the area, and into Clandeboye where during the 1950-60's was a very busy little hamlet. •The St. James Anglican Church and Cemetery at Clandeboye was the next stop with a tour of the church and cemetery also the Cairn in memory of Colonel James Hodgins. As they drove through the village of Lucan history was updated as they passed by Lucan and Biddulph Central Schools enroute to the Roman Line to see the area where the famous Don- nelly murder took place. Back tracking the headed east to Granton and because of running far behind schedule they had to forego seeing Whalen Corners and Prospect Hill as originally planned.
