(News -Record photo) Family When a farmhouse on the Cliff Glazier farm, opposite the Vanastra Road on Hwy. 4 was demolished recently, local residents were reminded of the farm's historic past. The farm, which has been owned by Cliff Glazier of Clinton for many years, once belonged to Edouward (Edward) Van Egmond, one of Colonel Anthony Van Egmond's eight children. Edward Van Egmond, the great grandfather of Jack Van Egmond of RR1 Clinton was one of Hullett Township's most in- fiuent-i-al-pioneers- In 1848, at a town meeting held in Clinton, Constant Van Egmond, -Edward's 'brother, was chosen as the district councillor to represent Hullett Township. Edward was elected at the same time as an of- fice holder in the municipal government. But the most in- teresting fact about the former Van Egmond farmeis that it was the site for one of the area's early sawmills.

Museum in Goderich. In 1860 records show that Edward Van Egmond valued his sawmill operation at L100 and 50,000 feet of lumber annually were produced on the farm. Mr. Van Egmond was married to Elizabeth Runciman of McKillop Township. In his later years, he moved to the home of his son James on the Gravel'Road.Edward Van Egmond died in 1905 at the age of 93 years.

He said he •can also remember going to a chop mill on the farm when he was quite young. Mr, Glazier said he was forced to tear down the frame farmhouse since vandals were causing so much damage to the house. He added he hated. to have it torn down.
