(Rod Hilts photo) Anglican Church to mark 100th anniversary By Eleanor Bradnock St. Mark's Anglican Church in Auburn will observe its 100th anniver- sary nu July I. 2 and .3 with, special services, a dinner `and a concert to mark the °e- rasion. George Fulton donated the land on which St. Mark's Anglican Church was built. The church was built in the late 1870s. When the struc- ture was almost completed, a high wind took the roof off. Some time after, a new roof was put on by the late Samuel Caldwell, Robert Medd and Thomas Nicholson, staunch. members of the church. The Church of England; as it was called in the beginn- ing, had its start around 1875 when the Reverend E.R. Ellwood was appointed Ar- chdeacon of Huron. and Chaplain to the Lord Bishop. His -early duties were ex- tremely ` arduous - and he covered a Large territory.. It is thought that the Parish contained the whole Huron Tract held under the charter by the Canada Company which included 'Seaforth, Clinton, DungarMon. Port Albert and several other points. ' For Manchester . ( now Auburn) services were held in Young's school house, three miles west of Auburn. The Reverend J.W. Sime was the first minister for this church. He lived in Dungan- non and conducted services at St. Helen's, Lucknow and Young's school. The Reverend A. Jones and the Reverend D. Bland were also rectors who served this charge,coming on horse back from Clinton. The first service in the pre- sent St. Mark's Anglican Church was held in 1883. The Reverend William Hender- son took up residence in Blyth as a result of a new ar- rangement of mission chur- ches. He served Blyth, Man- chester and Belgrave as his charge. This same arrange meat. existed.until.,1968 when_ Dungannon was added for one year. In 1969 the parish included Brussels, Blyth. Belgrave and Auburn. The following clergy have been in charge of the parish 'and the Auburn charge: WINGHAM MEMORIALS *Monuments •Marksrt •Cemetery Lettering •Lar_ss Modern Showroom BUY DIRECT AND SAVE REPRESENTATIVES COMMISSION Bus. 357-1910 Ras. 357-1015 or 357-1535 William Henderson, 1883- 1887, F.
