' THEE SILVER CREEK FARM Alexander Wilson, a native of Dee Side, Aberdeenshire, came to' Canada Sin 1832. After spenlldn,g as ort time in Hamilton, he went to Wellington County; where he assisted in' the sur- veying of what is now the Town of Fergus. He caine 'to Huron in, 1840, purchasing 200 acres, froth the Crown, 100 acres on the north side, of the Huron, Road and 100 acres on the south s?fJe. Silver Creek ram through' •chis -land) and 'his farm was known as "Silver Creek," En 1843 'ha inarr'ied Margaret Scott Govenlock and built the home, now the property of Mr: A. Copland, *here they resided until his 'death in 1891, In his eighty-secondyear. There , were, eight children in the family, four sons and four daughters In 1873 Andrew Young married Anne Wilson, 'settOnd daughter of Alexander Wilson, • and bought an acre of the Wilson property, where he built his home, now owned by his daughter, Mrs. Keith McLean.. Charles "Wilsfin, who; married Isabel • Pringle, of Chicago, in 1887, built his ibRome ne5tt to Andrew Yoang, where he lived until his death in 1903, 'Mr. Wilson and his. sister, Mrs. Young, having lived their entire••lives on'the land on which they were 'born. The land On the north side of the Huron, Road. became the property of Lt. -Col. J. G. Wilson, secondson of Alexander Wilson, and that on the south side the property of Charles Wilson, the eldest son. There was a lime kiln Where the Lions Park now is, • the pool ,being the -quarry. 1'he. rifle'range Of the "33.i'd -Battalion was at the southern end of th4 farm. The b and houses on both sides were built by' the ;Wilsons,, and were the houres, ,of the different employees. , The, late Thomas Pryce was one of the first, if not the first, iq occupy the home now owned'by Mr. E B, Gou- die. Mr: Tom Jermalfie lived in the house now occupied by. Mr: George Lowery. After Charles, Wilson's death in 1903 :his home was sold to' Mr. Robert Bell, and his farmer, Mr. J. R.

President C. M. Smith was in charge of the•meet- ing, which was representatiye of the businessmen of the town. The meet- ing stetted Nelson C., Gardno to suc- ceed Mr. Smith as president for the following year. The 'garbage collection question arose out of the reading of the min- utes of the last annual meeting by Secretary E. C. Boswell, when dis- cussion had' also been held on the subject. Fear was expressed that a. .municipally sponsored. scheme where- by the cost of operation would be' re- flected in taxes, would ,be unfair to ratepayers, who, in, many cases, would. be paying for a service not of `value to'them but to tenants. Mayor Mee„,: Reid pointed out there were various" ways provision could be made for the participation of non -taxpayers who would benefit. Advisability of 'affliating with .the' Ontario Association of Boards of; Trade and Chambers of Coimmerce was discussed, but referred to the in- comingA.executive for decision. !In- cluded in the affiliation fee of 24 cents per member is a monthly bulletin. Necessity for an increased and more active membership was. stress- ed 'byr Mr. Smith... All :present at the meeting paid their current year's fees at the close of the meeting, C.'E. Smyth; chairman of the Merch- ants' Committee, told the meeting the' committee had met from time to time as matters affecting' merchants ,re- quired attention. During the year the. .Industria.l and Publicity Committees 'had carried on ' correspondence with a number of, firms interested in Sea - forth, Chairman, James, A. Stewart re- ported to the meeting. 'One new firm had'recently opened a branch `in Sear. forth and were employing a 'nuiaber of girls and 'women. • The latter report led to a. discus. sion of the necessity of making avail- able additional 'industrial space and the extent_ to which housing availabil- ity would be a factor 'in an industry determining on .Seaforth as a town in which to locate. The necessity , of funnelling ,all in- quiries concerning. facilities available in Seaforth through the Chamber of Commerce was stressed if satisfactory results were to be attained. In this manner duplication by organizations 'and' xindivaduals. would be. avoided. In addition' to Mr. Careno, other of- ficers elected. were: Past president, C. M. Sniith; 1st vice-president, A. Y. McLean; 2nd vice-president, IZ'Orleon Sills; secretary -treasurer, E. C. Boswell. Selection of committees was referred to the executive.
