WALTON WAS BUSY PLACE IN EARLY DAYS
RECENTLY COMPILED HISTORY SHOWS
(By Clarence Grainger)
It was not big before nearly all !
;and in the t emmenity ' was '
up. Mr. Sterne, Mr. Simpson, I
Blair. Mr. _McLeod. and many
:•s came to during the 50's.
These were noble men of Sterling
Christian character. No lees coura
eons were the women who aceempan-
ied them as sisters, wives and
daughters. What dauntless courage
it required to Make an axe and begin
the task of clearing one hundred
aores of unbroken bush and erecting
thereon the necessary buildings!
These men and women toiled to
make homes. What home meant to
them! The foundation laid in their
strength and the superstructure was
erected in love. No wonder that
home was to them a sacred place.
Imagine one or thorn early
settlers. with his wife. entering for
the first time into the rude log
shanty that was to be their home.
Were the hearts of these first
settlers filled with an inexpressible
loneliness as the wind sighed in the
branebes overheod. and the bowl
of the timber wolf sounded from
the forest depth? It was only
aatttrai their minds should go to
far away Scotland. .and thoy heard
in memory the familiar voices raised
in 'reverent worship;
"I to the hills will lift /nine eyes;
Oran whence doth come mine aid?
M; safety cometh from the Lord,
'Vito heaven and earth hath made."
-'Fen kneeling down to Heaven's
t reel King, the father, priest and
' t oband prayed." And help and. suc-
eame to the form of renewed
.,rags, physieal health and happy
ne ghbourly fellowship.
But calling upon God beside the in-
dividual hearth was not enough for
sh> descendants of those who had
^:-:ked the cruelties of the Clever
^use inen for public worship in
",<. thery glers Iong ago, It•was true
in. the Walton dommuntty. "They
that thonrght upon His name spake
often one to another," and a de -
colon was reached to build a house
re Hie name.
A meeting was called, about 1863
by invitation from house to house
erre the people responded heartily.
The meeting was held in Hugh Mc-
Donald's log shanty. Mr. John Mo-
Fetizean was elected chairman, and
Mr. Adam Ferguson appointed
secretary. Among the :natters of
business discussed, the rnair- item
was the erection of a church. A
cominuttee was appointed to select
a site, The site committee approach-
ed the Canada, Company, but was re-
fused. Mr, Robert Dennison was
approached. and though a member

IgS A SURE SIGP,OfSQRIN
Thoughts of Spring and paint -minded people everywhere are
"suddenly" aware of the familiar Martin-$enour sign (although it's
there all the year 'round) because Spring is the usual and accepted
tithe to repaid for fresh beauty and protection!
And this sign is a sure sign of an enduring paint because Martin,
Senour is 100 pure I
Whenever you see the sign of Martin•Senour, there will be found the
paint of endurance and longer lasting beauty, It is the sign which in
one breath welcomes Spring and the chance to beautify as well as
to do the patriotic lob of protecting property I
of the btetltodigt Church, readily
granted one-fourth of an acre free of
charge.
.Aud to the ever'iastieg credit of
those pioneer bermes, the first ehureh
was not a log, but a frame building.
There was vett' little money in the
t'omnlunity then, but little was need -
.sl for the church. $ach contributed
es he or she bad ability. Some gave
stieke of timber tor the frame. An
ir-eance "f enthusiasm and whole-
some rivalry in the float building
program is told as follows, Mr, Blair
who lived on the lot row occupied
by lir. James SSmlltte, had said he
would have the drat stick on the
g: ourd (i.e., where the church sheds
now are). His neighbor, lir. Thos.
McFadzeans lining opposite Mr. Blair
said nothing. The morning arrived
for the delivery of the timber, Mr,
Blair was early about his morning
"Nares, and early on the road with
his ,stick of timber. Passing by the
l r.Fadzean home, he called to Mrs.
iiceladeean. "Where is Tom?" "1te
't his breakfast " "I said I'd have
my stick of timber there first "He
has been down with his., "The lum-
ber for the first church was sawn
with a whip saw. Mr. McLeod, grand
father of Mrs. John Howard, Grey
Township, shared in the use of the
whip saw,
The young ladies, of ,which Marg.
aret McLeod (now Mrs. McKay, of
Ethel) was one; made contributions
from among themselves and (surchas-
rd a Gaelic Bible for use in the
rburch.
The tittle church served its time
In 1869 a new -'church was guilt, seat -
leg 250 persons, and costing one
thousand dollars. The church, erect
-d in 1869, .served the congregates
well, for over forty years ,until the
present church building was erected
in 1912.
The church is well situated, occu-
pying a. prominent piece in the com-
munity, has a seating capacity of
3350 persons, and is well equipped to
take care of all departments of eon-
gregartionel work.
When the congregation called its
first minister, it formed part of the
Brussels, Orasbrook, Walton charge.
When the cbarge was divided in 1877
and Walton stood alone, the congre-
gation proceeded almost immediately
with the erection of a Manse. Wal-
ton congregation has done credit to
itself in always in'ovidirng for its
minister a ocinfortable and commod-
ious home, The church Property of
Duff's, Walton, 3s a tribute to the
enthusiasm, energy- rand farstgheed-
ness of the congregation.
Some time in the early part ofthe
year 1845, the congregation was or-
ganized. For some time 'previous to
the organiation' of the congrsgartfon
in 1865 the (people met at intervals
for worship. The 'first church was
enacted prior to June, 1865. The first
meeting of Session, of which we
have any •record, was held in June,
1865. A't the first Communion;
Messrs. Hugh Monroe and' • Seines
Fulton acted as Elders. It also
appears that Mr. Gilbert McCallum
was present but it was atterword
decided by Presbytery that 'Mr.
McCallum was an Elder o1 the
Brussels congregation, Messrs, Hugh
McPhee and James, Fulton, together
with Mr. James Canupell and, Mr.
Sanies Smillie, were elected Elders
at this Communion season. The
writer is ,of the opinion that Messrs.
McPhee and Fulton had been ordain-
ed elders of the Presbyterian
Church before . settling in the,
community, possibly in the Old
Land. :Messrs, Smillie and Campbell
were elected and ordained at tine
Communion in 1,865, Ree. Adam
MelCay .Teeswater, had charge of
the ordination service.
it was a "red letter d'ay" for the
Preslryiterians of Walton when they
called tlseir first minister, Rev. John
Ferguson, 1865. 'There was great en
thusiasmt, Mrs, McKay, of Ethel,
eoquattishlY-oonfided to the writer
''We young girls all voted to call a`
minister <beeause some of us wanted
to get married," During Mr, Fergu-

187.5, the Corltmunion Roil contains
