Golley homestead boasts
127 years in one family,
By Dorothy Thornton
I had decided that today,
when I duSted the living -
room, I must do the picture
frames, With the cloth in my
hand 1 touched the picture
and i as if by magic, my
Memory tried to fathom the
significance of those *
generations.in the picture.
I remembered the day Dad
had gathered the pictures
together to give to the
photographer -salesman who
had called at the door. He
specialized in blending
pictures together into a
group. How else could we
have six generations in one
picture? Joseph, James,
Robert, Clarence, Barry and
Michael, all with the same
surname, but also with the
coincidence of deep blue
eyes.
I, from my position in the
fourth generation, having
been born with an inquisitive
nature and the ability to ask
questions from childhood,
had a very good idea of our
family history from the
beginning of Fairview Farm,
the Golley homestead, for
over the years I had listened
to many tales and in later
years had made notes as I
compiled the family tree.
Great -Grandfather Joseph
Golley and his wife Margaret
had married in the Guelph
area in the early 1840s. Both
families had emigrated from
Belfast, Ireland, earlier.

ANGELA KERR
A recent survey of young
people in the town of
Wingham seems to indicate
this summer was a pretty
good one. The kids reported
activities as varied as
motorbike riding to picking
beans, but most admitted
they are eager to return to
school.
Angela Kerr, 9, went to the
Cedar Point amusement
park in Ohio where she liked
"riding in the bumper cars
the best." She also went .to
Niagara Falls.
Angela said she went
swimming a lot until she
broke her arm from a fall
from one of the trees at the
park. She declared that
she'll never climb that
particular tree again.
PAUL GOOD
Paul Good, 14, played a lot
of baseball and went
swimming a good deal this
summer. He said that even
though he didn't get to
Canada's Wonderland as he
had hoped, he might get to
the ME.
Paul admitted he is eager
to start high School in the
fall.
Debbie Henry, 13, said she
"went everywhere". She
visited her sister in
Southampton, went to
Collingwood ' and went
camping. Debbie added she
hopes to go shopping in
London before school starts.
Steven Templeman, 11,
reported he "went to the
beach a couple of times". He
also helped his father, piked
beans and visited his
DEBBIE HENRY
grandmother. He said he
hopes to get to Canada's
Wonderland befOre the
summer is over.
Ellen Rodger, 14, said
most of her summer was
taken up babysitting and
staying at her family's
trailer near Goderich, The
only disappointing element
in her summer was that she
didn't get to go horseback
riding as she had planned.
But Ellen added she
definitely intends to go next
year.
Renus Bailey, 13, spent a
good deal of his summer
working. He mows 12 lawns
M town every week. But
when Renus visited his aunt
in Picton, he went lake
fishing.
STEVEN TEMPLEMAN
He also said he rode his
motorbike in the First Bush
and in the fields around town
and added that he hopes to
buy a • new bike with his
summer earnings.
Michelle MacDonald, 8,
visited Canada's Won-
derland this summer and
said she "loved" it. She said
the rides and games were
fun and she wants to go back
again soon.
Jackie Brophy, 7, spent
her summer swimming,
playing with her next do*
neighbor and staying
overnight at her friends'
homes.
Jackie also went to her
brother's and her sister's
baseball games and rode her
bicycle a lot.
Around 1846 they took up
farming in the Lucan area,
an Irish settlement to which
the famous Black Donnellys
came later.
In 1854 Joseph decided to
move further north where
land was cheaper, and
consequently purchased lots
1 and 2 in Morris Township
along a trail that was later to
be Highway 4. At the land
office in Goderich, he first
purchased 100 acres of the
forested land. Before leaving
the office he decided it was
cheap, so he turned around,
went back and bought the
adjoining lot, making the
200 -acre farm, intact to this
day.
Cash, paid in British
sterling, is quoted on the
original deed still in
possession of Clarence
Golley, the present owner.
Since then the farm has
passed from generation to
generation.
In 1856 the family moved to
its new land, with only 50
acres partially cleared and a
log house and' barn already
constructed. The family of
Jim (my grandfather), Joe,
Bill, Annie, Margaret, Belle
and Minnie grew up on this
homestead.
Grandfather told me that
on SunI . he and his family
would go o wn through the
trees to trail to see how
muchbf-1 e road, now High-
way 4, had been built during
the week. Oxen, axes and
men were the road builders.
They were many months
blazing the trail and creating
a road that passed their 200 -
acre farm. Two or three
older ones in the , fan.*
walked to Bodmin, on the 5th
Concession of Morris (about
10 km.), once or twice a
month for their mail.
I pull back the window
drapes and look south along
the 2nd Concession and try to
imagine a log house there
where remains of an old
orchard new stand. Grand-
father's good memory
served him well over the
years. So often he referred to
the log house standing where
my grandmother's rasp-
berry patch grew that I
pictured it many times in my
imagination, and to this day
I almost feel that I saw it
there too.
As the family grew up, my
great-grandfather Joseph
built the large white brick
house that still stands today.
Grandfather said they
planned to build a main room
with two bedrooms and an
upstairs. Someone had
calculated the amount of
brick very poorly, for less
than one-half was used for
the front structure. Wood
was cheap and plentiful, so
another- huge room, com-
plete with upstairs, was
added to the front part. Brick
still was left, so a shed that
covered the well and cistern
as well as holding a great
amount of wood was added to
use up the brick. By this time
the Golleys had built them-
selves a mansion with six
bedrooms.
Stories from my grand-
father's generation sparked
my imagination and brought

last week with Mrs. Ida

Mr. and Mrs. John

Elva Jacques of Gorrie spent
last weekend with Rev. and
Mrs. Frank Coyle of Sault
Ste. Marie and attended the
wedding of Mrs. John
Jacques' sister. Mr. and
Mrs. Coyle are holidaying at
the John Jacques home.
Marion Huth, who was one
of eleven 4-11 members
chosen from Huron County to
participate in a 4-11 ex-
change with Huron County,
Michigan, returned home on
Wednesday. She spent a
week with Julie Koglin of
Port Hope, Michigan. Julie
had spent the previous week
with the Huth family.
Everyone on the exchange
reported an excellent time
and enjoyed seeing high-
lights as well as noting the
differences in the 4-11
programs in each county.

forth many questions. Great -
Aunt Minnie Williams, the
youngest, once walked to
visit her cousins, the
Beecrofts, down the 10th
Concession of East Waw-
anosh. (What a distance!
Who would walk so far to-
day?)
Like all children, she
played too long and was
hurrying 'home in the twi-
light. She heard, cries like a
baby. Along the heavily -
treed concession a wildcat
was jumping from one tree-
top to the next. My heart
missed a beat as I pictured
her outrunning this monster
to the road.
My grandfather married
my grandmother, Martha
Cassels, in 1884 and took up
residence in what later
would be referred to as "the
big house". A few yards
away a small, frame house
was built for my great-
grandparents.

my great-grandparents, but
housed various members of
different generations over
the years. The house is very
vivid in,my mfemories, for I
was born in This cosy little
doll house and lived there
until. I waseight years old.
My father Robert and his
sister Mary grew up here.
Many good times with
happy family gatherings,
christenings, birthdays,
anniversaries and weddings
took place in the big house.
Often all six bedrooms were
filled with friends and
guests. My grandmother was
a beautiful vocalist, and
even I can remember the
sing -songs around the piano
when her brothers came
home from the States to
visit.
When my father married
my mother, Ida Abram, the
"little house" once again
was cleaned and decorated
for the young bridal couple.
So often I heard my mother
say how happy she was
sewing chintz curtains,
coverings and cushions for
chairs and making a cosy
home. It was in this dear
little house that I was born;
also my brothers, Clarence,
the piesent owner of the
farm, and Jim who lives on
the next farm east.
Following a tragic ac-
cident when my grand-
mother died from severe
burns, again the houses were
switched and our family
moved into the "big house".
This time the "little house"
was abandoned, to be rebuilt
later into a shed.
In the "big house" my
brother Glenn, who farms in
Morris Township now, and
my sister Grace were born.
Our dear neighbors to the
east were Findlaters, who
had purchased the farm
from the McCurdys, the
original settlers. Later Dad
purchased this farm. My
brother Jim, who married
Mildred Souch, lives there.
