Former Resident of !lensed g 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.
