Donnelly tri Ogy completed
HURON — The much -
anticipated first two vol-
umes of Jim Donnelly's his-
tory of Huron County are
published — "Donnelly on
Law," "Donnelly on Huron"
and "More on Huron."
With his retirement as
Justice of the Ontario
Superior Court approaching,
the Honourable James M.
Donnelly proposed to Huron
County council in October
2004 that he update the his-
tory of Huron County.
Previously, James Scott of
Seaforth had undertaken
the history of Huron County,
starting his project in 1954
and publishing in 1966.
Donnelly proposed to
update the county history
within an estimated time of
two years with no remuner-
ation. County council
accepted Donnelly's propos-
al.
Three years later, his
extensive research has
resulted in three volumes.
"Donnelly on Law" is
Donnelly's own history of
court cases and legal sto-
ries, many serious but also
many self deprecating and
amusing. It was published at
the author's expense as a
fundraiser for the family of
the late John O'Keefe, and
appeared under many
Christmas trees this past
season.
The two new volumes are
published on a cost recovery
basis by the county.
"Donnelly on Huron" high-
lights intriguing moments in
Huron County history and
municipal politics, including
the sometimes complicated
process of electing county
wardens. Women on coun-
cil and political personalities
are also covered.
Volume 2, "More on
Huron" continues Donnelly's
reminiscences of courthouse
activities. One interesting
chapter outlines the county
council debate about what
to do with the outdated
1856 courthouse. The issue
was resolved by the fire in
1954, destroying the court-
house.
In this volume, Donnelly
enlists the assistance of
other writers.
Gordon Hill writes a chap-
ter on agriculture, featuring
several farm families and
rural organizations includ-
ing the independent
telecommunications compa-
nies and agricultural co-
operatives.
George Brophy con-
tributes a chapter on
small rural communities,
both their role in sup-
porting surrounding
homesteads, and the his-
torical causes of their
decline.
