in a (half mite of Seaforth in a log
house on the back of the farm now
occupied by F. J. Coleman. He re-
members.. distinctly when but two log

the town of Seaforth now stands. He
also remembers of a post being plant-
ed on the site of Mr. F. D. Hutchison's
store with finger board attached point-
ing to the villages of Egmondville and
Harpurhey. He can tell you of how
in boyish curiosity he climbed to the
top of the station house to see the
arrival of 'Seaforth's first locomotive.
'He spent his youth living close to
Seaforth and went with his team and
wagon to Goae•rich to bring the first
engine installed in town in the late
J. H. Broadfoot's furniture factory.
He purchased a farm one-half mile
from Constance and was •a successful
farmer until he retired some time ago
to reside in Blyth. Eight years ago
he lost his life companion and since
lived among his children. He is hale
