the BAYFIELD Pemberton bugle
Historical Society visits cabin
A cavalcade of cars
carried 50 members of
the Bayfield Historical
,S.o-c.i;ety / and visiting
frien Js:eo a restored log
cabin, made available for
the occasion by John
Hindmarsh.
The regular Monday
meeting of the society
was preceded by a social
hour followed by a hearty
pot -luck supper, capably
managed by Margaret
Clift, assisted by Betty
Garrett and Dorothy
Hovey. Perfect summer
weather enhanced the
evening.
Guests from London
were Dr. and Mrs.
Frederick H. Armstrong
and Mr. Edward Phelps.
Dr. Armstrong is a
Professor of History at
the University of Western
Ontario, and Mr. Phelps
is curator of the Regional
Collection at the
refererfce library at
Western.
Dr. Grov. Shepherd
presided over a brief
business meeting and
called upon Brigadier
Fred Clift to welcome the
guests. Fred referred to a
booklet "Organizing for
Preservation" written
recently by Dr. Arm-
strong for a series
sponsored and published
by the Ontario Historical
Society. He quoted the
author's final words to
indicate his strong
commitment to the
preservation cause. They
are as follows - "A final
word, do not be
discouraged easily. Be
ready for fights, they .are
sure to come. Be ready
for defeats, they are
inevitable. Take heart in
the fact that a lost fight
may make later victories
possible. A defeat may
well galvanize the forces
in favour of preservation,
it may give the cause
essential publicity and
above all, it will make
many more people aware
of the issue. It may even
make the next fight
unnecessary." It is un-
derstandable that Fred
Armstrong is a com-
mittee member of the
local Architectural
Conservancy Advisory
Committee in London.
Dr. Armstrong came to
address the meeting _on __
"The Elusive Barons of
Bayfield", and Ed Phelps
introduced him. He is a
graduate of the

firs Baron of the
Bayfield-Goderich area
(after his marriage to a
Portuguese girl.) His son
Vincent Gildemeester,
Baron van Tuyll van
Serooskerken was born in
1812. It was this Baron

The second Baron and
his wife travelled widely
and had a large family.
(They lived in Niagara,

hurried back to England

Dr. Armstrong said

Western for his historical
publications.
He began his research
on the Bayfield Barons,
because of coming across
in a second-hand
bookstore a book by an
English author, Arthur
Bryant called
`Historian's Holiday.' He
learned from it that a
historian has most fun
where there is no com-
mitment- o lectures that
must be prepared and
articles that must be
written; hence he has
made the elusive barons
a holiday project. He has
conferred with local
historian W.E. Elliott of
Goderich, with the late
editor of The London
Free Press, Arthur R:
Ford, Ethel Poth and Mr.
and Mrs. John Land, a
couple from Holland. Mr.
and. Mrs. Land aided
greatly in tracking down
the barons, with the help
of the Netherlands Nobles
Book.
Mr. Armstrong told of
his interest in tracking
down other nobles who
came to North America
and their reasons for
coming - eccentricity?
not doing too well at
home? caught up in a
revolution speculation? -
