"When Daniel Webster and his wife
and their, sturdy sons left .Tipperary
in 1837, for the enchanted land that
lay far away, it was not to cross the
big pond in a fast steamship with all
modern conveniences, but to spend
weeks sailing or rowing in the old-
fashioned Io
1 ped open boats, suffering untold
hardships.
"After landing, weeks were spent
travelling to the first homestead at
Norval, where they resided until 18J4
and where the rest of the family were
born. Once again they undertook an-
other arduous -journey to Lucknow. In
the same year his five nephews, sons
of Thomas Webster, also felt the call
to the new land of opportunity. All
but Henry, who, lived near George-
town, settled at Lucknow. Later many
of the . sister's children cavae to Can-
ada. To -day, within a radius oleo
miles of the town, dozens of their des-
cendants may be found. Many found
it advisable to move farther afield to
follow their chosen spheres of work,
No matter from near or far, all will
remember these noble pioneers, who
carved from the virgin forest these.
