Scott and Dickson' Families
Celebrate 100th Anniversary
Of Arrival of First Settlers
•
Archibald Dickson and Robt.
Scott and Son Came to
Roxboro, Then Virgin
Bush, • in June of 1833.
PIONEERS SUFFERED
MANY PRIVATIONS
•
InJn 1893 Archibald Dickson and
Rolbert Scott .ancl son, Robert, arriv-
ed in Canada from 'Seotland, after a
voyage of two months. They settled
in the -Huron tract, the 'Dickson's tak-
ing up 200 acres en the north side
of 'what is now the Maitland river,
and the Scott's 100 acres on the south
side- The settlement they named
Roxboro, after their home in' .Scot-
' land.
It was this opening up of the Rox,-
boro district in 1833 -that the Scott
and Dickson families celebrated Fri-
day afternoon last in the •'bush on
• • the original • farm. More than .150
relative's and eonneictions of the two
pioneer families. weme in attendance.
Few Provisions.
The first winter in Canada was one
•of privation—the faenilies subsisting
on what was available in the bush
and stream. ' The following year, tie-
ep'le the hardships, the remainder of
the.. families arrived in their new
hnn'.e. 4M'rs. John G•ovenlack, eldest
:Meter of Robert Scott, lost a child
on hoard ship, which was buried at
' Grosse Isle.. 'MTs. Govenlock herself
contracted 'cholera and died, beteg
buried on the Scott farm, This was -
the fes, funeral in the, district.
Walk te Hamilton.
Desirous of establishing a church
in the .district; Robert Scott and John
Govenlock walked to 'Haniiltcn to
• petition the Presbytery eto send a
missionary. Rev. Mr. Fraser was
appointed, his parish extending from
llar+purhey to Goderich. Rev. Mr.
MacKenzie, who followed, was the first
permanent minister. •
Dickson History.
Mayor A. D, Sutherland, in his- en-,
marks, told of the pioneer life of the
Dicksons. He said:
"One wonders why people left Scot-
land, the land of their birth and the
land they loved so well. One reason
was they never could get a clear title

First Funeral
An interesting point 'brought
out during the Scott -Dickson pic-
nic was that the funeral of Mrs.
John Govenlock was the first
funeral held in this section of
the Huron Tract. Mrs. Goven-
lock was the sister of Robert
Scott and died as she arrived in
Roxboro in 1834. The funeral
was held in the dense bush by the
side of .the Maitland River and
burial took place nearby what is
now the orchard on the farm of,
Mr. James Scott. Mrs. Goven-
lock was the grandmother of Hiss
Susan Govenlock, Seaforth, and
Mr. Robert Govenlock, McKillop.

SPLENDID PROGRAM
AT RE -UNION PICNIC
Scott -Dickson Families Celes
brate 100 Years At
Roxboro.
The cool woods on the farm of
John Scott, art R:oxibore. ' made a
pleasant and beautifu'1 setting for the
eentennaiy picnic of the Scott and
Dickson families on Friday afternoon
last. • Over one hundred ancl'fitty rel-
atives and friends of the families
were present to renew acquaintances
and to do honor to the memory of
those harder pioneers who, in 1833,
arrived at Roxboro, then a virgin
bush.
John • Scott, oldest living man in
either family, acted as chairman. In
his introductory remarks he said:—
"My Friends: We are met here 'this
beautiful afternoon tp• do honor to
bratele forefathers. ' Frfrm far
and near we are back to our native
heath as our "ain folk" to one an-
other. I'm sure that all our hearts

Game At Dublin.
Dublin went down to defeat 80-12
at the hands of the Seaforth team
on Tuesday, June 27th, at 'Dublin. The
Dublin team made many error's and
showed lack of practise and team
work. They played till the last, how-
ever, and put up a fight, even though
they lost. 'Seaforth gat -away to a
good start and played fast ball due-
, ing the, entire game. Jack Wright
e lented out three home runs; E. Ren-
nie, 1; Taman, 1 and Burgess 1 for
Seaforth, and W. Ryan, Warder- and
Looby, 1 'e'ach for Dublin. At the

leading 30-12 with Dublin still hope -
full of winning: ' 'Seaforth, however,
,scored 5 runs bo DulblinIe () in the
eighth inning so the galme was call-

to' where it was in the seventh, be-
ing 30-12.

Request
The Executive of the Seaforth
Softball Club asks .that boys and
girls who are admitted free of
charge to the games, do not use
the benches. The accommodation
is limited and.the executive feels
that fans who pay good money to
see the games should not be de-
prived of a seat because of an
abundance of ;children. Parents
are asked tgq,;'remind their chil-
dren of this reasonable request.

Western Ontario generally and
Seaforth in particular (or so it
feels like), is• suffering from en
unprecedented warm spell which
is now starting its second week.
Unofficially, the temperature has
been hovering about the 100 de-
gree mark, but to the average
citizen, walking down the east
side of Main Street in the after-
oon of any day this week it,
seems about 150. Rain has fallen
