The house now occupied by Dr. Gandier has been associated with events that are interesting and historic, and are worthy of being called to public notice. It was built in the early '50's for the late Joseph Whitehead, when that gentleman was in his prime, and was a prominent figure in the early his- tory of Clinton. At the time Mr. Whitehead had the contract for build- ing a portion of the railroad between Stratford and Goderich—then and for some time afterwards known as the Buffalo & Lake Huron. While this was going on Clinton sought incorporation as a village, and the day the census was taken Mr. Whitehead brought a train load of laborers here, kept them over night, and thus secured the required population for incorporation. Mr. Whitehead's railway career commenced very early in life, for when but a mere lad he was engaged as fireman on the first passenger locomotive in the world —"The Rocket" on the Stockton & Darlington railway, in England. When the Chicago World's rah' waS la pro- ; gress the original engine was on exhibi- tion, and Mr. Whitehead was present in his former capacity as fireinan. He had the honor of talag the flrst locomotive that was seen in Manitoba, having the contract for Section 15, the first part of the C. P. R. to be graded and built. Mr.Whitehead's 1111111C figures quite pro- minently in the early municipal history of Clinton, and he had also the honor of representing North Huron in the Fed- eral .parliament for one term. His eld- est. son, Mr. Charles Whitehead, con- ducts an extensive farm near Brandon, and the only direct relative still living here is 011Y esteemed townsman, Mr, W. D. Pair, who is a grandson. Dr. dandier may congratulate himself 011 the fact i that so far as residence 1s concerned he is succeeding a man who had some.. what prominent distinction, arid it is a safe surinise to say that he too nay gain disilnetion, but itt xn entirely dif- ferent direction, A WEEK IN CLINTON Arch Affecting Friday.
