A Hibbert etc., along this road could be told, such as the day Maggie Miller swung her dinner pail 'round and 'round. till it hit Hugh McLachlan smack on the mouth. This left Hugh minus for life, part of a front tooth, and also left him speechless for the rest of that night. At the end of this road stood the little red school where many spent their "schooldays, schooldays, dear old golden rule days,'where 'readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic were taught to the tune of the hickory stick," where happy carefree days were spent—good old schooldays! STAFFA Plans for the future of Spring- hill, as Staffa was first known, were made 'by Rev. Isaac Ayles- worth and Charles Tuffin, where they had part of their farms laid out in village lots at an early date. This was known as the Aylesworth and Puffin Survey. It was on one of Tuffin's lots that his brother, Ambrose Tuffin, built the first frame house at 'the south end of the village around 1859. This was when Ambrose moved in from Concession 7, where he went when he first married --,he in his middle 30's, and his bride, Mary Wbod, not yet 15. Puffins lived here till they took over Cromarty Hotel in 1873, only a few months before Ambrose's death. To them were born five children—Susanna Eleanor (Mrs. T'om Venner), Maria (Mrs. Alex Hodgert), Jack, Lovina (Mrs. Josiah Izzard) and Minnie (Mrs. Oswald Walker). Minnie was only four days old when her father died. Alex Ferguson was the next own- er, but only bought for speculation. This house is the oldest still in use in the village, but changes have been made on it. It was first cov- ered with steel, and in the 20's the cement block part was added by Mrs. John McTaggart, the former Mrs. Ambrose Puffin, when she moved' back to it for the third time. Darrell Parker, the present occu- pant, has undertaken recently a new venture — house -building — on his own back lot. One has been sold and another is now being built. The moving and interior (Continued from Page 2) the village, and it was used by him till he died.. He was buried in 1879 on a very cold day in February in the old kirkyard a mile and a quar- ter east of Cromarty. Walter Mc - Nicol, a native of Dumbartonshire. Scotland, married Mary Whyte,,and they had a family of seven. Sev- eral of these went West, and it was with them the mother spent the last years of her life. The fam- ily were Walter, Dave, Susan (Mrs. James Marshall), Bella (another Mrs. James Marshall), Jessie (Mrs. Ben Ruston, later Mrs. Matheson), Mary (Mrs. Robert McConnell) and John. When Sam Speare bought the property he used it as a home and carpenter shop. Olive Speare still owns the vacant lot since the 'building was torn down around 1925. Occupants—William Reid, Wal- ter McNicol, Mrs. Walter McNicol, Sam Speare, Mrs. Sam Speare, Olive Speare. The next log house was moved here by John Whyte after 1865 from west of Honeymoon Cottage, and was the home of Jimmy and Peggy Miller till 1897. No one liv- ed in it after they went to Strat- ford. The house was torn down after • 1900. While Jimmy Miller lived here, if the school lads hit his house with a stone, they never got a chance to throw a 'second before Jimmy appeared on the scene. Jim- my King, across the way, was an- other nother victim of these stone -throw- ers. He dubbed them the "glaz- iers," much to their amusement. The weigh scales, owned by district farmers, were moved ,from the north end of thevillage to this lot of Jimmy Miller's around 1915. Road to No. 6 School Looking south from here, one gets a glimpse of the school. It being linked so closely with the village, a word about the road lead- ing to it seems necessary to com- plete the village picture. The vil- lage, also the 10th and 11th Con- cession boys and girls from the early 70's, summer and winter, tripped along this mile andquarter on foot with leather schoolbag, fill- ed with books, dangling from shoul- der, and a tin dinner pall in hand. In summer, every bird's nest and groundhog hole were known to them, and woe to any snake that (crossed their path. If a sleigh chanced by in winter, a clambering gang piled on, and greater was the thrill of the ride If there was a chance of bobbing up and down through huge pitchholes alongside tilhyyte's old rail fence.

James 'McLane, of whom nothing is known, was the first who owned the next lot; then Jahn Butler. It is possible it was here John Butler built 'his blacksmith shop in 1856. Alex Ferguson, who was Treasurer of Hibbert Township from 1868 till 1:':3, lived in the old log house for a time after he bought it in 1869, then he built the present frame one and lived here in 1895. It was the home of William E. Hoggarth and Peter F. McNaughton while each taught at No. 3 School. Tom Drown, veterinary, ,had it for his office from around 1906. Lloyd Elliott, the present owner, has been connected with the con- struction and maintenance depart- ment of the McKillop, 'Logan and Hibbert Telephone Company for 35 years. He built and wired the control panel for the new exchange building in Dublin, which was op- ened in January, 1e53. The old building was in use over 44 years. Miss Mary Beale, the chief opera- tor, has a record of ten years more service than Lloyd Elliott. She started in 1908 when the company was formed to buy out the area from the Bell Telephone Company. At that time she serviced 34 sub - subscribers on the single lines to Staffa, Beechwood, Bennewies' Mills and McCrae. In 1953, some 600 rural subscribers are served from this switchboard within a 10 - mile radius of Dublin Village. Occupants—James McLane, John Butler, Alex Ferguson, Dave Hill, William E.
