One of Huron County's most highly
respected and oldest pioneers passed

the person of Mr, Thomas Johnston,
town line, west of Blake, in his 92nd
year. The ftmeral was held on Friday

The late Thomas Johnston was
born on April 14th, 1849, in N. Ireland,
at Ballamanagh, Antrim county. He
was three years old when his patents
came to Canada, and heard the story
of this important event in their lives
as told by his parents. The ocean voy-

age was outdo in a sailing vessel and
lasted for six weeks. Tltey brought
provisions turd cooked their own
'teals during the voyage. Fr'oiu Que•
bec to Toronto they came by boat. A
team of horses and a wagon brought
21 persons and all their luggage into
Western Ontario. They eventually
'''ached Brut'etiielti and Varna. H'is
parents often told of settlers coming
out of their homes at many places
along the journey and after chatting
with the travellers usually supplied a
drink of Milk for the children, Two
other families, the Renie Armstrongs
and the George Irwins, neighbors of
tite Johnstone, left Ireland and they
travelled together to their new home.
A brother of Mr. Johnston's mother.
Andrew Rain, had come to Canada at
an earlier date and was already set-
tled 1l_ utiles east of Drysdale. He
was at Varna with a big party of
friends to meet the wagon bringing
the newcomers from the homeland,
Mr. Johnston was then only three
years old and resided on the same
farm In Hay Township midway be-
tween Blake and Drysdale, where his
parents settled, until the time of his
death, living there for almost ninety
years. One of Mr. Johnston's earliest
recollections of the ha.pPenings in the
neighborhood was the building of the
log school at Blake; he was about 6
years old at the time. He also could
recall walking to Bayfield with his
mother while he was still a small boy.
Mr. Johnston was married over 62
years ago to Idiss Mary Haugh, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Haugh of
Dashwood, In 1938 they celebrated
their sixtieth wedding anniversary,
and at that time Mr. Johnston was
still very active for his years, and
the previous summer he had been
able during the harvest to drive the
binder as expertly as ever.
Mr. Johnston was a kindly man of
many tine qualities and was held in
high esteem by all who knew hini,
