loaded any cargoes is pure
speculation, but the Signal of
April 16, 1873, reported that
Mr. Hawley's steam barge
Herald has been rebuilt and
will be prepared to go out a
good as new on the opening of
navigation." Herald was not
listed as a- product of the.
Marlton yard, so perhaps was
built in Detroit. Hawley may
have used her for travel bet-
ween Detroit and Goderich, in
view of the primitive roads and
almost equally primitive
railway accommodation at the
time. The London Huron Bruce
had not been, built in .1870.
Hawley's,salt plant was ode
of only five still operating in
1878. Its site is not now known,
but drilling was to 967 feet, the
Signal stated. An old map in
-the archives of Domtar's
evaporator division Shows a
well on Huron road at the
railway tracks, ,w)rere the Win-
dsor Salt warehouse now
stands, but it is not identified.
Wherever it was, Hawley's
presumably was in charge of a
manager when in 1877 he ran
again, successfully,. for the,
House of Representatives, from
Detroit's First ,District.
He must :crave hada manager
or stockman _ for his farm, also,
for an 1882 advertisement of
cattle is signed "R.Hawley, Lot
7, Maitland concession, per
George S. Gorham". This ad-
vertisement offered "at
reasonable prices a number of
choice young Shorthorn bulls
and heifers" from a herd
headed by "the splendid young
bull Beaconsfield II."
Said to have beenunfor-
tunate in the stock market,
Hawley in 1883 borrowed

$9,000 on mortgage from Sarah
A. Scott.. He died in the
following year, leaving half the
estate to his wife, Evangelia,
and half to his children, two
sons and three married
daughters. Also, he bequeathed
to his wife books, pictures and
silver, carriages, farm stock
and implements, h -ay, grain and
fruit "from my farm,. Maitland
Place".
The .mortgage obviously con-•
tained a power -of -sale •clause,
but this would not have been
exercised by September, 1884,
when Mrs. Hawley came . to
Goderich andat the law office
of Cameron & Garrow filed a
sworn declaration that the
household goods, farm im-
plements, horses and carriages
were valued at $500. The ex-
planation. of this is not readily
available. On Sept. 2, 1893, Ar-
thur Curzon acquired they
property from Thomas H..
Christian and William B.
Thompson, • "executors"
presumably of the Scott Estate.
In 1889 the Hawlevs were
succeeded in occupancy, not
ownership, by the George M.
Doe family from Boston,
`evidently a family connection.
The Huron Expositor, Seaforth,
reported in 1889 that ' Doe,
"who now occupies the Hawley
farm near Goderich, is going
extensively into the breeding of
first-class carriage horses,:.,,for
which he , says there is an
unlimited market in New York,
Boston and o!her eastern
American cities. He has just,
imported a very superior
cArriage stallion fr-m Ken-
tucky, ,and intends keeping
from 15 to 20 good mares."
Doe was still there in 1891,
for the Signal reported him as
spending holidays with his
family in Goderich.
Curson, member of a titled
English farpily and familiarly
known in his time here as
"Lord" Curson, held the place
for over 40 years. Title passed
in 1935 to Arthur Lithgow, 'of
Toronto, a nephew, and the
place. was acquired in 1949 by
Wilfred Larder. Present owner
is Stanley Freeman, who has
kept the stately house in good
condition.
The property has changed
hands only,,a half=dozen times
since the Canada Company ob-
tained the .Huron Tract from
the Crown. Least remembered
is the Detroit politician for
whom the house was built as a
second home in the Huron
hush.
