DURING THE PAST F E W
months, our "Historical Sketches"
feature has attracted a geed deal
of favorable comment from read-
ers who find this weekly touch
of the past very interesting,
One of 'these, Mrs. LeRoy .Poth,
206 Grange St., Kitchener, for-
merly of Hayfield, writes that
she was interested to read, in
last week's issue, about her
great-grandfather, William. Jewitt
(correctly spelled Jowett) and
his handmill . . , "We have his
diary telling of their journey
from England in the spring of
1833. What a trip. that must have
been!" she comments

Lucan, writes: "As an historical
society member, I would like to
photograph some of the old log.
houses, or similar landmarks,
before they have disappeared
entirely from the rural areas...
Perhaps someone of your many
readers would be kind enough
to inform me If there are any
of these pioneer dwellings still
remaining in your district?"

This is the 16th of a series
of historical articles on the
municipalities in this area, taken •
from "Historical Atlas of Hur-
on County," .published in 1879.
Municipal Organization
Although we have seen that as
late as 1832 and 1833 there were.
very few settlers in, the town-
ship, yet by 1835 the numbers
had so increased that a muni-
cipal organization was found he
the usual way, some particulars
of which it may he interesting
to relate - which can best be
done by reference to the minutes,
from which we quote:
"At a meeting of the inhabit-
ants and householders of the
Township of Tuckersmith, U,C..
held publicly at the Bayfield
Mills, on the 5th of January,
1835, called by William Woolley,
sworn constable of the town-
ship, by the orders of Messrs.
Charles Prior and Richard Brew-
ster, Justices of the Peace, the
following individuals were un-
animously appointed by the
meeting to fulfil the respective
offices placed opposite their
several names, and the follow-
ing • by-lb.ws were 'unanimously
agreed upon to be in force while
the gentlemen nominated ' hold

in pursuance of a warrant to me
directed by Charles Prior and.
Richard Brewster, Esquires, and
that the above by-laws were
there made. - William Woolley,
Constable, Tucker -Smith,"
In 1836 the "Commissioners"
were Adam Black, Samuel Car-
nochan, and William Chalk, MD.
We notice this year in the ,min-
utes the "cloud the size of a
man's hands," which subsequently
resulted in the death of "the
gentleman referred to, along
with many others:
"The Commissioners met on
January 16th, at the house of
William Fowler, and considering
the disturbed state of the town-
ship in consequence of a meet-
ing also held by a Mr. VanEg-

Saturday, 12th March, deciding
