Ftsi ..IV FOi7n The Will vance-Times, Augusta.- IIIIIRegeA 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. oung.- 0.

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 MRS. DERRILL HALLMAN Lakelet Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Dickert and Mr. and Mrs. Sandy MacEwen and family visited last week with Mrs. Ida Dickert of Exeter. Mrs. Dickert returned home with her family. Mr. and Mrs. John Jacques and family and Mrs. 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. ELLEN RODGER RENUS BAILEY MICHELLE MacDONALD JACKIE BROPHY 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. 6 6160 1111114.11.,,6 WOO 11/661111.UI 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.
