My Name is Address Bayfield's Baron (By Arthur R. Ford in the London Free Press) Two of the most colorful figures+ of Western Ontario — and there were many of them — were the two Baron de Tuyles, father and son. They were Belgians who dur- ing the troublesome days of the early part of the nineteenth cen- tury sought refuge in England. Baron de Tuyle, senior, was in, London in the twenties when the Canada Land Co., which ownedthe Huron Tract in Western Ontario, was being promoted. He became interested and secured the servic- es of Captain Bayfield„ later Ad- miral Bayfield, who was surveying the Great Lakes, to suggest a lo- cation for him. He recommended that he purohase the property on the ridge, opposite .Goderich, and that he buy a large tract of land, where Bayfield now is — named after the Admiral. So Baron de Tuyle was the founder of Bayfield. The Baron built his home on the Ridge—a commodious log cottage planned for entertainment. The Baron's home was a centre of hos- pitality for Goderich and clistrict The Baron returned to Belgium in 1836 and' died there in that year. The Baron's son, who inherited the title, and any estates the father possessed. was a handsome, disso- lute youth, who had actually been outlawed at one time for his debts. He loved the lite of London and was popular in the aristocratic cir- cles of the capitals of Europe. He was an expert sailor and the Miss- es Lizars, in their history of the Canada Land Co., say that it was only the seamanship skill of the Baron that saved a fishing party on an expedition in Lake Huron during a great storm. On the death of his father the young Baron carne to Canada to look over the estates on Lake Huron. He soon fitted into the frontier life and became the bosom drinking pal of that heroic Gode- rich figure, Dr. "Tiger Dunlop." He was a picturesque figure in the costume of a frontiersman and' oined heartily in the escapades of the doctor. When he grew tired of pioneer life he would visit York or even New York. We have never been able to find much information about the de Tuyles. but in the University of Wes:ern Ontario Library we have located a volume called "Salmon Fishing. in Canada," written by Rev. William A. Adamson, a sport - :ng Irish parson who was chaplain in Canada to Lord Sydenham when he was governor-general from 1839 to 1811. The parson along with several fishing, friends took a fish- ing" trip on a yacht down the St. Lawrence. The party consisted of a wealthy military captain, Hon. H. H. Kilialy. a prominent Lon- eoner of the early days who was commissioner of public works at the time. and Baron de Tuyle. Neither the commissioner nor the Baron is actually named, but there is no doubt who are intended. It POULTRY RAISERS!

They stopped at Tadousac at the Moutli of the Saguenay River, then a trad- ing post and a lumbering camp run by the Prices — the same Quebec family prominent in lumber and paper manufacture today. It is the only sketch of de Tuyle which we have seen. Here is the description of Baron de Tuyle: "The Baron was a very hand- some man. He was six feet two or three inches In height, had a profusion qf dark brown hair, with a black beard and whiskers, which had now grown to an enormous length—features which, in repose, were tinged with a hue of deep melancholy, but when animated— and that was almost always the case—beaming with goodhumor, in- telligence and playfulness. Light of limb and agile as a roebuck, his every step wee graceful. These natural advantages had been culti- vated by education, and his man- ner polished by association with the highest society in Europe -- every country and court which was familiar to him, and almost every language of which he spoke with ease and fluency. 'In early life he had entered the navy of his native country, and there became an excellent mathe- matician and an admirable practi- cal navigator; but having soon in- herited the title and large posses - sins of his father, a distinguished officer, he was appointed to a place at court when, disdaining a slothful life, he took to the pursuit of pleasure of every description, an exercise which is very seldom found to be conducive to the im- provement of a man's patrimony— as he soon began to feel—and in consequence had visited Canada to look after a large tract of land. which his more prudent parent had purchased some years previously. "He was a delightful companion, and the very best tempered man I was ever on a cruise with," CLINTON The Sunday School executive of Ontario St. Church met at the home of Mr, and Mrs. ,Charles Stewart on •Thursday evening for their December meeting, with the superintendent, Mr. Charles El- liott. presiding.
