Others Continued on page 4 ALGOMA PiONEER WAS NATIVE OF HURON The late Hugh Irwin, one of Al- goma's pioneers, was laid to rest on Friday afternoon at Port Findlay Cemetery, His death closed e, life- long career of Algoma pioneering and an era and way of life of which the district is proud to have as part of its heritage. This fine old gentle- man was a son of an Irish im- anigr'ant, John Irwin and his wife, Scottish born, Jessie Rutherford. He was born in the village of St. Helens in Huron County, March 31, 1898. John Irwin and his two sons, Hugh and the late John, came to Algoma in 1886 and lived on St.'Jo- seph's Island for one year before moving to the north shore. The two boys bought farms alongside one an- other in the Township of Tanbutt, on which Hugh Irwin remained until his death, Sept. 22. The farm was a virgin woodland that he cleared by hand, The first crops were potatoes and grain, planted by hand. Then he built a log cabin. In 1893 he mar- ried Ellen Cameron, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Angus Cameron of Port - lock, The Camerons came from In- verness, Scotland. The late Mr.. Irwvin walked eleven miles on Sundays over no more than bush trails to court his sweetheart and later wife. There were no roads, telephones or railroads through at that time. To this union nine child- ren were born 161 the log cabin that he so proudly hewed from logs un-, der the most difficult circumstances. In later years he purchased a yoke of oxen and in this way could make an extra bit by cutting ties for the railroad and loacliirg vessels on the lake. The nearest doctors were at Bruce Mines, some 20 miles distant. The mail arrived' only when a boat called at Pert Findlay. The Church was always a part of his life and his training and the ex- ample he gave to those around him will long be a memory. Walking Sunday after Sunday despite the weather or his health, he led in the singing of the church hymns, served as an elder, was superintendent of the S. S. for many years, and was one of the builders of the Church and first school. On June 14, 1943, the Irwin fam- ily and many friends helped the couple celebrate their 50th anniver- sary and this past year had a quiet family reunion to celebrate their diamond anniversary. A few of the other pioneer fami- lies who shared this life with the Irwins .were the Notts, Buchanans, Shewfelts, McDonalds,, Hedleys, Bru- ges, McLeods, McKays and Moores. Many of their descendants still reside in Tarbutt and Laird twps, but Mr. Irwvin was one of the last of the pioneer gentlemen left. The two Rev. Mr. Lanes were cou- sins of the deceased.
