Clinton News-Record, 1977-10-13, Page 10PAGE 10--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 197? Anglicans mark Thanksgiving Rev. William M. Bennett officiated for the 8 a.m. Holy Communion Service and the 10 a.m. Harvest Thanksgiving Eucharist in Trinity Anglican Churc,h Sunday morning. Howard Lansing assisted the Rector and also read the Epistle of the 18 Sunday after Trinity. Two historical plaques unveiled Dr. "Gros''venor Shepherd, vice-president of the Bayfield Historical Society, officiated at two unveilingsin the Village on Monday afternoon: The' first was at Fairlawn, the residence of Richard and Ruth Moore on Main Street. Dr. Shepherd said that one of the nicest functions of the society is to offer plaques to mark the heritage of a building. Mrs. Elva Metcalf was called upon and she said that the first plaque unveiled in 1972 at the Hut, the home of Mrs. Lucy Diehl, marked the first school in the village and also in Stanley Township. In 1976 two plaques were unveiled, one at the Albion Hotel and the other at the Little Inn. Mr. Herb Kalb- fleisch, plaque committee chairman, told of the won- derful co-operation of the Moores and how everything had gone so beautifully until the last minute when the plaques, which were promised by the company to be ready in 'plenty of time, were not in Bayfield Friday evening. After a frantic phone call to London by Mr. Kalbfleisch on Friday evening, he learned that the plaques, which were to, have come by courier, would be on the charterways bus. They finally did arrive and for some unknown reason were left at the home of Ken Scotchmer. However they did arrive, and as Mr. Kalb- fleisch stated everything went beautifully until he got involved with the business world. He said much research has to be gone into, in the registry office, the old newspapers and of course the most im- portant thing, the owners of the premises must be con- sulted. The plaques can only hold 26 words so a great deal of thought must go into the wording, and the most im- portant part of the history be printed on the plaque: Mr. Moore was then called upon to give some of the history of his home. He said, he and his wife were both proud. and honoured to have their home chosen by the Historical Society. Mr. Moore said that in the Registry Office in Goderich, the first entry regarding Fairlawn was in 1842 and was: registered in the name of the Canada Co. Then to a Mr. Cameron in 1863. He sold to a Mr. Erwin who had it for one year and then back to Mr. Cameron who sold it in .1876 to Mr. Durant. In 1880, Mr. Durant sold to a Mr. Doaks and in 1886 Mrs. Cowie purchased and held it for 41 years.,, when she sold it to a Mr. Wightman. He held it until 1949 when a Miss Savage purchased, it. She sold it .in 1955 to Dick Moore, the present owner. Mr. Moore said some of the furnishings in their home are what he purchased when he • bought the house: The dining' room table was made by a Attend opening Several from the Village and area attended the Grand Opening of the Sugar ,Bush Shack recreation Hall in the Sugar Bush Park on Saturday evening. The Hall is beautifully decorated -with barn boards, abstract art and a lovely stone fireplace with hand hewn beam as the mantle. _;The orchestra for the evening for the dancing and listening pleasure was under the direction of Bernie • Fansher. A most enjoyable evening was reported.

The plaque states that the home is a well preserved example of colonial Georgian Style dwelling. Once a boarding house, the one storey structure on the rear and the front porch were added later. Mr. and Mrs. Moore opened their lovely home for everyone to view. Also on display on the lawn was an old sampler quilt. It had been donated to the Historical Society by Miss Jessie Metcalf. The quilt had been made by Mrs. Cowie, a former owner of Fairlawn, for Jessie's mother, Mrs. Metcalf. The quilt was very interesting. In one corner was a U,nion Jack, in another was the provincial Coat of Arms. Some blocks resembled baskets, bow ties and ab- stract art, Following a tour of the Moore home, the gathering moved up, the street to the residence and Antique Store of Mr. and Mrs: Don Lance. Mrs. Lance said that they purchased the property in 1967 as a Canadian Centennial project, and she spent four years researching the property. The store was built by Mr. Thomas Bateman in 1849- 1850-1851 who operated it for 15, years when he sold it to Mr. Morrison. In 1887 he sold it to Mr. Harry Edwards the father of Frank Edwards. When Harry died, Frank took over the store and operated it until his death in 1937. His widow continued to operate what was called Edward's Cash Store, for a few years, and she finally closed the doors and con- tinued tjp live in- the house. Following her death, her daughter.Floy sold it to Mr. • Lorne Sparks in 1959 who opened an Antique store, and in 1967, the Lances purchased the property. In 1870, Mrs. Lance said the north three room was added and in 1890 the kitchen was added onto the back. Mr, Lance also spoke and paid tribute to the forefathers who settled' this village and left everyone with the heritage present today. He said "we are not the owners but the guardians of this property". He asked the gathering to take special note of the 40 foot walnut counter top; the ogee mouldings, the drawers for spices etc., the mouldings around the doors and windows. He said it is a testament to posterity of the people who settled here. The plaque unveiled by Don Lance is entitled Edwards Ca,sh Store, and states that it was a General Store for 90 years. The living quarters were above, north wing added in 1870 to enlarge 'residential area. The entire building is nearly original state. Following the • unveiling everyone wandered through the Antique store and then into the house where delicious homemade cookies and fresh apple cider from Payne's orchard were served. Smile A man's body is very sensitive. Pat him on the back and his head swells. Don Lance looks at the historical plaque he had unveiled last Monday at special ceremonies held by the Bayfield Historical Society to designate special buildings.
