On December 24, 4858, at the home of •Robert Reid,, Pit 9, con- cession 10, Hullett,..now Art Mc - Michael's, a meetide wits held for the purpose aCraising funds to build a church:, Robert Reid was chairman, and. "George Watt, Sr., secretary. The majority were in favor of building. Some of those present were Robert Scott, Alex. Knox, Gavin Hamilton, Au- gus Campbell, James Watt, Sr., Thomas Lee, John Watt, Robert Knox, John Nott, James Elliott and David Hill. The site chosen was the northeast corner of lot 1.2, concession 10, Hullett. George Watt, Sr„ gave three-quarters •of an acre for the church site and burial ground. On July 5, 1859, they decided on a frame structure, 40 feet by 28 feet, sheeted on the outside with inch hemlock, sided over with one-half inch planed lum- ber and floored with inch hem- lock. Mr. R..Rogerson; the fra'in- er, received $165.00 for building the church. The lumber and - shingles cost $95.00, the plaster- ing $42.50. The total- expense was ' $515.00. This ehuroh was to be serviced by missionaries. Rev. Alex. Currie (1860-62), and Rev. John Stewart (1862-65) were the pastors of Manchester (now Au- 1 burn), Blyth and Hullett. A petition was drafted to Hu- ron Presbytery deploring lack of missionary supply and asking re- lease from Blyth, and arrange, for missionary supply from Man- chester, with a view to having y service each Sabbath. The re- quest was granted, and Rev. Ste- phen Young became the pastor t of Manchester and Burns' 1866- 77. '1 In 1870 the trustees were em- 1 powered to build a veetry 15 feet. • by 18 •feet, at the south of the w church. This building cost 5267. At a special meeting in 1873, d it was decided to !Staid addition- al shed accommodation, ask re- 1 lease from Manchester, be self- i' sustaining, and give a call to a 0 minister. They decided to delay d the action on the •minister. According to the minutes, in e 1874, Alexander Reid furnished B six cords of wood, necessary coal oil and did the caretaking for I' $20.00 a year. The total collection d for that year was 5336.13. do 1875 one-half acre south of the b church was Purchased for $25.00 L for the site of a manse, but this was later need as part of the t cemetery. A petition, was taken to Huron e Presbytery on December 26, 1876, 'o that Burns' Church congregation a wished to be released from Man- f ehester and made a separate ti charge in connection with Knox a Church,•Londesboro, They would tem guarantee a yearly stipend of th 5650.00 and a free ,manse. c The oongregThei,on_ was desirous' of retaining Rev, S. Young and 'f as they were prospering Finan- a daily in 1877, they offered him w a yearly stipend of 5750.00, pr Burns' share being $500.00 and th the manse. However, he had re- Se ceived a call to Clifford; and ac- cepted .it. By 1878 Burne' was m cleared of debt, Rev. John Loch- ti ead became the first resident pe minister, and remained .for six " Years, fo Shortly after this time the ba congregation diminished as young people left the area. In 19 1884 Rev. David M. Ramsay was inducted and served for ten years, He was an energetic, conscientious man, well liked by the people. During his stay, 51 new members joined Burns' Church and 85 at Knox Church. In 1890 the present brick struc- ture was built free of debt. Messrs. fluff and Bennett were awarded the contract at 51,125. The building committee furnish- ed 42,000 bricks at a cost of 5210 and a hot ah furnace was Metall- ed by Andrew Kidd, Seaforth, for $125, The congregation pre- sented Rev. Ramsay with a gift of 550. The first church, which was moved back so. that the present one could be on practically the same site, was used during the building period and at the open- ing of the new church, Some of the better seats were transferred to the new building. Messrs. Wil- liam and John Copp, of Seaforth, were the brick layers engaged, and received the frame church, valued at 515, as part payment for their work. It was moved to the weekend of Seaforth, on Go - deride street, across from the Shell gas station. For many years it was used as a barn and stable. At 'present it is owned by Mr. -David Schenck and used by him as a body and fender repair shop. In 1892 Rev, James Hamilton, M;A., with his wife and infant daughter• came from Lynedoch to live in the manse and serve as faithful minister for twelve years. As he was the first minis- ter remembered by many of the older people of the community, and was considered a very cap- able, clever, sincere and con- scientious man, highly esteemed by the community, a short . his• tory of his lite should be inter- esting. His parents came from Scot- land to Brant county in pioneer days. He attended Brantford collegiate and graduated from Toronto University, receiving the, gold medal en mathematics, and first-class honors in classics. He studied theology in Knox Col- ege and spent two years in post graduate worst in universities in Scotland and Germany. After 26 years of effective and successful ministry, he was forced to give up this work because of ill health, but during the next 15 ears he was ,headmaster of se- ondary schools at Beamelville, Glencoe am! Milton. He then ie - fired to Brantford, where he was appointed an elder in his boy= food chrtroh. He passed away in 942, within two months- of his 9'5th birthday.
