History Crewe Methodist Church was built in 1890 on Lot 4, concession 7, Ashfield Township. The lot was bought from William Durnin for $25. In 1925 it became part of the United Church. The Crewe Church served the community for 63 years. In the early days, the com- munity revolved around the church. However, it seems matrimony had no place in- side the church, in its 63 year history. Not one marriage was ever performed there. Most weddings were held at the parsonage or in the home. The final service of the Crewe Church was held on June 29, 1953 with the to W.J. Thompson Reverend John Walker con- ducting the service. Many social activities took place in the churches throughout the community in the days before the car became popular. At the end of a social evening, we are told how the men would get their buggies from the shed, pick up their families and move off, at a relaxed pace, exchanging cheery good- nights as they drove off into the darkness. When the younger men would leave with their shining buggies and spirited horses at a fast clip, they no doubt looked for some loose gravel to get their buggies to sway from. side to side. Today, we have young men who delight in throwing some gravel as they start off in their cars! In looking at our history in the late 1800s and --in the 1900s, boys will be boys. In the 1800s they would sit at the rear of the church and drop their hymn books just to see if any of the older parishioners were sleeping or they would play tricks at., school, It just seems boys are made that way. Looking at the history of Ashfield Township, we learn that William Dougherty was born June 15, 1810 in Waterloo County, Fer- managh, Ireland. He came to Huron County in 1836. He cleared his farm out of the solid bush and he was the first white man in this part of the country to own horses and a wagon. He often travelled to London and Hamilton for supplies and would move in other settlers before the railroad was built. He went to Sarnia and defended the land of his adoption when the Rebellion broke out in 1837. He took out a Crown Deed for his proPer- ty in 1847 for the sum of 40 pounds. This deed is still in his family's possession. H.S. FORD CO.
