When I remember Sea forth when I was a little boy, alr south of the 'Huron Road was in Tuckersmith and all north in McKil. thel TuckMe l smi h father Council member those 'deys end they often met_in Seaforth, always in one of the hotels, (they called them taverns- in those 'days), and when I was'a boy he often took me with him to those council meet- ings in Seaforth and Egmondville. There were four taverns. n Egm nd- villa. Widow Sills kept on the hill, north .of the river, and Johnnie, Dilly,on the south side, and Fred Wetland kept tavern In the house' here Henry Colbert lived for many years, it the brewery. Seaforth was some ' busindss place in 'those days. All the townships of Tuckersnnith, Stanley, Hay, Unborn and Stephen came there to sell their produce and do their trading, and the viihole north country up as far as Walkerton, calve with their wheat and other farm pro- duce. The market at that tline was south of the railway track in front of Jim McBride's hotel, and it was a busy place. The storehouses were crowded from early morning till after dark and the roads north and south were crowded with teams. I remem- ber when Seaforth was incorporated as a vill a e g 11l father My r ha d charge of getting it incorporated at the county couocil. That was in 1867, and Seaforth's first council was elect- ed for 1868. Doctor Coleman was the first Reeve. _ When you have this re -union, if your committee desires, I • will give an address on the early days of Seaforth. I remember all of the business men of those days, and list fights was quite a common amusement. , W. McLAREN DQIG. - FACTS ABOUT CANADA Vancouver, B.
