Society accepts tender for heating
The Dungannon Agricultural Society held
its monthly meeting at the Agricultural hall,
Tuesday, October 25.
it was decided to keep a log book book to
record exact amounts of liquor and beer sold
at Agricultural Society functions. This
should simplify records for future reference.
After reviewing two estimates for electric-
al work for the yard lights at the hall, it was
agreed to hire Larry Parks for the job.
Francis Merley's tender for heating fuel
was accepted. Mr. Merkley is an agent for
Gulf Canada.
After the treasurer's report was present-
ed, it was decided that $2000 should be paid
toward the $5000 bank loan which was taken
out a year ago for work on the sewage
system at the hall.
Next month. a financial report for the first
six months of 1983 will be presented. The
report is prepared by Sandra Rivett and
Mary Ellen Boel.

khl the Process ofittg;;this section,
research has brought to a number of in-
teresting facts. According to note prepared
by Mr.f i. fir. Thompsoia,during the 1950's,
firstdoctunelrtation of township military ac-
tivities, came with the Fenian. Raids. These
Feitians - members of the Irish Republican
Brotherhood which had formed in 1858 -
were ex p d to cross the Great Lakes and
attack Canadians. Alarm over the danger
increased when the American Civil War
broke out, and recruits were sought for the
Huron Regiment from all over the County.
No. 7 Company, whose headquarters was
officially listed as Porter's Hill, drilled
regularly to meet this threat and Township
records show a number of payments made
to No. 7 Company between 1867 and 1' 1. A
drill shed was built on John Cantelon's land
in 1867 and it was not until 1891 when the fear
of invasion was definitely past that this shed
was sold back to the Cantelons. However, it
was in 1881 that volunteers were paid 500 per
piece for returning their arms and ac-
coutrements to the Armories.
This threat of Fenian Raids in Canada
must have been a very real thing to
township people, for there are a number of
newspaper articles in 1868 relating incidents
W
ith
about the Folio's. tJne lady
(reportedly Catherine when she heard false alarm n "The Fe*
nians are " !took tithe amore she f1
ed with her ch ren to add poisonous Paris
green to the bread sloe was
making in case
the Fenia `ries ate it! Most men were armed
only with, pitchforks, yet they were prepared
to taken stand for their country. -
The township was also represented in the
Boer War, for in 1900 the newspaper reports
that Alexander Wilson was paid for his ser%
vices as a volunteer in South Africa. One
Godertch Township resident active in the
Korean War - Gerald Bell. Do you know of ,
any other military involvement of Goderich
Township residents? If so, please share your
data so that itmay be included in the history
Were any area people involved directly in
the Rebellion of 1837? •Goderich Township
was incorporated at this time and one of the
better known participants in that Rebellion
was an area person - Colonel .Anthony Van
Egmond. Were others active too?
Work is proceeding well on the Goderich
Township History Book and the committee
plans to have copies available for sale by
Christmas 1984. If you have any informa-
tion, pictures, or records which could help
please contact Alison Lobb soon. The next
History Book meeting will be Tuesday,
January 10th at 1 p.m. at the Township Hall.
