A Historic Dwelling.
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,
