J. ;Pollard, now living Seaforth on N. Main •street, remen berg the 'building 'of .the Walt Methodist Church about 1157+3'. La week the same building was move to the site of Neal's store in Wale to !become a community hall, and Picture of that event in last week News brought ]back •mem•ories to M Pollard of the early .days 'o'F, th old church. "L wee about nine years old whe Walton Methodist 'Church was Ibui at Reid;'s •corner," said Mr. Pother The corner is on the gravel road mile south of the village, "It was 'built by Mr. •Leatherlan uncle of Miss Leatherland of Sea, forth. Work 'was started in 'th Spring, continued through the 'Sons mer and 'finished in the •Fall," he sai "The members of the congre•gatio living south of Walton and thos north •of ,tine village were rivals lin mild way. I was too young to b aware of it myself 'at the time, how ever, I 'believe that was the reaso the •churoh was originally 'built a mil emelt of Walton instead of in th village," 1',[r. Pollard said. The church was moved a nail north in 119013; to the east side of th village, where it remained until move last week to the Walton main corner "The parsonage was built in Wal ton," he continued, to he convenien for the minister in getting mail. Th minister then had charge of Currie' Church at Winthrop, and Jackson' Church in Grey Township, as wel as the 'church near Walton. The min isters 'at first were local or lay preach ers. The contractor, Mr. Leatherland was one of these and sermons 'b him were long remembered, He recalls that Rev, Mr, M•oKib:bi was present on the bp'enin•g Sunda about; 615 years ago, Mr. Pollard • at tended the opening, being a youn boy, at the time, 'Archie M•clsb'bin was a very mis chievi us small boy " Mr. Pollard recalled and smiled reminiscently. "I believe New Year's was 'th'e rex day, Monday, and that day a tea wa held. Each year after that 'the anni versary and tea were held on the Sunday and Monday nearest New Year's. I remember the ,birthday cak for this occasion grew higher an higher each year as a result of rivalry between the ladies in charge of the cookery." The Golden Jubilee of the church was held on Sunday, Oct. _, 1113, "Four persons were present at the fiftieth anniversary w• ho saw the opening of .the church, Miss Swallow and her brother, Mr, Swallow, Rev. Archie McKibbin and myself," sai. Mr. •Poltard, The year previous to the building of the church was a time of sadness when) diphtheria took its tell in the community. Mr. Pollard re- calls there were ten deaths on their line, A brother of his died, the Mc- Millan 'family close to the corner where the church was later built lost three children, and in another family further down the line six children were taken. Mr. Pollard himself was down with it but miraculously pulletl through. Treatment of diphtheria was not then 'known, Mr. Pollard recalls. He 'had reached the static when hope for his recovery had been abandoned. 'He remembers two chc- tors coming into the room where •he and his brother lay. They attended it the brother first, swabbing the tnuatis and throat with a strong anti.aeptic. He got frightened at .the sight of his brother across the roost being treated and- when it came his turn he would not open his .mouth. He was lifted itp in arms and begged and when this failed a spoon ,was used to try •and open ,his mouth, Finally they gave 'up trying, 'thinking, Mr. 'Pollard ,believes, that he had no possible chance to get better 'anyway. His eventual recovery was considered very remarkable in medical circles at that time. 31r. Pollard rememlbers .the doctors who attended lhim: "One of •theta was Dr. King of Seaforth and tlte'•other was Dr, Gra- ham sof Brussels. Dr. 'IKing was killed when his team of spirited horses ran EWEDDING PRESEN NOTHING TO BUY!
