During tthis year ;also there arrived John Nilson, who built a house and,tannery on- the harbor fiat, this -being the •first •tannery in the Huron Tract.

These ',were all Yonee street .men. Before the establishment of: a post office William Reid used to make .semi-monthly trips to'' 'Guelph • to bring the.letters for the Coupany's <:agents, :and any settlers who were so fortunate as to" receive letters mere charged extra for their 'carriage from Guelph. Of course during this time the . new ' settlers' were obliged to endure the bardships and privations `incident to pioneer. life—hardships which are too well unceistood to require a recital dere ; `bat, they were undertaken and borne wi'tdi a patience and petsever- ence which soon began to beat fruit in the shape of substantial comforts Audi as unremitting toil can produce. The Canada Company erected some elxeap buildings—which should be cal- led sheds -near the. harbor for the ac- " \ commodatioit and shelter of settlers until they could erect houses for themselves ; and in these sheds Wil- ''•1ia111...Jecfd- fitted 'np the first tavern or public house with which Cioderich was blessed. We say blessed, be cause in those days the benefit of the accommodation offered by such houses outweighed the baneful in- fluence: of the liquor that was sold. :About. this time W. F: Gooding, lie - tore referred to as the first ' white settler and' trader, was joined in Lite merrantile enterprise by his brothf ers, Jasper end Edwin R. ;' and soon after Benjamin Hale' arrived and opened the second store in the place. In 1812,George Fraser arrived, in : company with the Study family, William Rutledge and wite and An- drew Whitely and family. They had driven in front FTamilLon where the night before they left the father of the Sturdy brothers, whose names ;were John and Christopher, died in the hospital. So with their mother and brothers-in-law, Rutledge and Whitely; thea\proceeded onward to. item new 'home in the' woods. The next_ year the Canada Company built the steamer 3lenesetung—whose name was changed a wear later to the. Goderich, at this- point, and ('apt. R. G.

In the meantime the County.
