Mr. Cleave was disappointed in
Bayfield' and' Drysdale. The Bay-
field river is now so much smaller.,
When he left there was a sawmill
and Thompson's grist mill in oper-
ation. The trees on -the market
square were small saplings, pro-
tected with, wooden guards. The
house now owned by J. McKenzie
had been built in 1899 by James
Burns, who went broke building
it. He kept a general store in the
present D. Kingsbury building.
Charles Cleave 'knew Bayfield
well, although he lived on the
Ausable line. His grandfather,
William Logan, had built and lived
in the brick house- on Louisa
Street now owned by J. E. How-
ard. Then, too, his Aunt Mary,
(the late Mrs. Richard Bailey),
and his aunt Emily Ann, (Mrs.
George Irwin, Vancouver, who is
92 years of age) lived in Bayfield.
He sees many changes, both in
the place and the people. In 1900,
the main road ran right through
Clan Gregor Square, and branched
oft in the centre of Louisa Street,
leading to the old wooden bridge.
He knew Alf Westlake immed-
iately, but when a couple stepped
up and the man said, "We are
brother and sister, do you know
us?" he shook his head, - "You
ought to," replied the man. "We
were neighbours". He had to be
told that they were Thomas West-
lake and his sister, Rosie (Mrs.
Alf. Scotcbmer, Sr.).
And then unfolded a tale of how
be had upset Rosie Westlake in
the snow one night, coming from
Zurich in a cutter. He felt con-
strained to apologise for the acci-
dent after 55 years. They had
gone to Zurich, to buy a parting
gift for their Sunday School teach-
er, James Delgaty, who left in
November, 1899, for Gilbert Plains,
Man. Mr. Cleave recalls that his
sister, Edith and Rosie Westlake
made the presentation and that
they all joined in singing, "God Be
With You Till We Meet Again."
