The highlight of the evening was a splendid talk by Mrs. Le- Roy Poth on the history of Goder- /eh township. She. has delved in- to past lore before Champlain's time; When a tribe of neutral'In- dians roamed these parts with their capital in Middlesex county. They grew corn, beans, squash and tobacco. She told the story of Etienne Brule, Champlain's servant and the first white man to visit the site of the city of Toronto and also the first . to set eyes on Georgian Bay, He reached . Lake Huron also. She spoke of Father Breheuf's mission in the Huron Country. After 1648 the neutral Indians were dispersed by the Iroquois, who roamed around here seeking furs. By 1812 a military road was built from Lake Simcoe to Penettanguishene by Tiger Dunlop. By 1826 there wasa trading store at the mouth of .the Maitland riv- er, where our ancestors traded. :Mrs, Path spoke of the found- ing ounding of the Canada Company which bought a million acres of land, in- cluding the parts, for two shill- ings some pence per acre.' She spoke of the yeoman effort ' by which the first highways were built. By 1846 there was a gen- eral store in Gaderich and a cry- ing need for schools for early set- tiers. ettiers. Mrs. Poth mentioned many families of early settlers whose descendants still livee in these parts, many on the same land or- iginally purchased from the Can- ada Company. Supplementing Mrs. Poth's most interesting address, her husband had a display of pioneer primit- ive rimitive tools, the wood rubbed smooth with time. Mrs, Poth led a discussion group which uncovered many de- tails of early history. Mrs. R. G. Thompson, "Clinton, delighted those present with her great fund of Goderict Township lore. Her husband was the former Clerk of the Township and her son, Robin the present one. Robert Welsh also added zest to the subjects A comprehensive vote of thanks was moved by the Rev, W. S. Outerbr.'idge after which the lad- iesserved lunch.
