Celebrate 100th Birthday Saturday
It is unique to live to the
ripe .old age of 100,it is even
more so when one has at that
age, a young heart, a keen
mind, and an excellent mem-
ory. Duncan Stewart, of Hur-
onview, will observe his 100th
birthday on Saturday, January
14, with a promise that he will
be on hand to live many more
years.
He can recall how John T.
Mitchell, also of Huronview, 100
young February 7, 1967, used
to sit in the same seat at Hur-
ondale school. Mr. Stewart was
born January 14, 1867, on lot
34, concession 3, Township of
U s b o r n e, about four miles
southeast of Hensall, a son of
Robert Stewart and Jane Ross,
pioneers in the area.
Mr. Stewart attended country
school SS 1 Usborne Township
—later known as Hurondale
School. He spent his early
years in the area working with
the family, and spent the sum-
mer of 1886 near Le Mars,
Iowa, with settlers from home
area. In 1889 he was in Mani-
toba and Minnesota. He farmed
in Manitoba from 1889 to 1909.
From 1909 to 1945 he farmed
one and a quarter miles north i
of Hensall. He resided in Hen-
sall from 1945 to 1964, and en-
tered Huronview in November,
1965.
Mr. Stewart speaks of going
to the country store at Rodger-
ville for groceries and mail as
a boy. Rodgerville was then a
thriving community about one
and a half miles south of Hen-
sall, being the half -way point
between London and Goderich.
The country store was operated
by James Bonthron, great-grand-
father of Harold Bonthron, of
Hensall. At that time Rodger-
ville boasted of having three
blacksmith shops and two cob-
bler shops. Rodgerville Pres-
byterian Church was the centre
of the religious activities.
He often speaks of taking
milk to the cheese factory which
was located about a mile and
1p Ri-.t"1 •�u, , dY.�y'?'Z7r.. 11 7;..,�is: ��. .:1-;.}.. h � �
a half east of the Hensall union
cemetery. In the early days
grain was sown by hand and
threshed with a flail. Later on
reapers were used to cut the
grain but it still had to be
bound into sheaves. Next the
binder made its appearance
using wire instead of twine to
hind the sheaves. Since the
threshing machines were intro-
duced, power was supplied by
an arrangement known as horse
power.
Mr. Stewart remembers when
the railroad, known as the Lon-
don, Huron and Bruce, was put
through in 1875. As .a final
step in constructing the line
the locomotive moved very
slowly with the navvies work-
ing ahead of it putting the rails
in place. Then there was the
collision of two trains a little
south of Hensall in the early
'80s with both locomotives be-
ing thrown off the track. This
event happened late in the fall
and the locomotives remained
there until the following spring.
In 1884, Mr. Stewart drew
loads of sand for the manse in
Hensall and two years later, in
1886, did the same for the
church. He joined Carmel
Presbyterian Church in the
spring of 1890. His wife, the
former Annie Bell, passed away
some 20 years ago and he lived
alone in Hensall until going to
Huronview two years ago.
Mr. Stewart has one son, W.
Murdoch Stewart, FSA Consult -
ting Actuary, Lake Forest, Ill.,
and one grandson, Donald Dun-
can Stewart.
