Early St. Joseph
Some time ago it had been
suggested to me that something
should be written about the
founding of the so -intended city
of St. Joseph, on this highway.
It is a subject that much could
be written about, but there is
always in such an undertaking
to over -do -it. There is also
some danger in committing
some offence to some and that
when least you would expect.
Therefore what I will relate to
you will only be work perform-
ed under certain individual or
bosses and also little pranks
performed in games and gaiety
by the many men employed dur-
ing the last part of the year of
1896 and the year of 1897,
which was the real booming
year for the so called city of
St. Joseph.
In trying to revive memories
of more than three score years,
you will agree with me that
some of the dates concerned
may not be just accurate. Nam-
es of the most important pers-
ons involved in the work and
charge, in that I may also err.
Nevertheless I am certain that
you will forgive me if I use
words in the wrong place, to
bring the St. Joseph story to a
better head. I feel that I
should give you some exper-
ience that r and a trio from the
settlement had when we had
ventured to go in to the lumber
camps in the northern part of
Ontario.
The previous year of the fall
of 1895 I had gone by myself
and my venture was a complete
success, as that year the lumber
camp business was at its best. I
had returned in the year of
a le
veryb
1896 with a comfort
stake in my possession, that had
encouraged the mentioned trio.
I led the boys along in the same
old camps but all were closed
due to no sale for their work,
and after tramping the woods
for a few days we were advised
by business men if we had a
home, to return to it. At that
time we were in the Gore Bay
district. There we drew lots as
to what to do, so the decision
was to return to our homes.
That was it, we had to cross a
stream of water to get on Man-
itoulin Island, where we had to.

boat would take off for Owen
