It was only within recent months that the present "owner of the farm, Cyril, Brown, rummaging through old papers in the attic of the new covered log house, discov- ered an old Canada Company deed transferring the 102 -acre farm to his grandfather, . Robert Brown. The deed is dated February 10, 1854. Back about 1850 Jimmy Brown,. oldest of eight children of James Brown and Brigid Kelly, left his native County Limerick, Ireland, to seek fortune in North America. In 1851 his parents with three sons and four daughters, arrived at Dundas, Ont., where they re- mained for more than a year af- ter they discovered their eldest'son bad died of malaria while crossing the Atlantic. When the father died in Dundas the three remaining sons found jobs helping to build the railway to Goderich.. But the railway pay- master was not able to meet the payroll one day and the three bro- thers were stranded in St. Colum - ban, on Highway 8, without funds. Robert decided to buy some land, the purchase recorded in the Can- ada Company deed which was on- ly recently discovered. In Decem- ber, 1885, his brother Thomas pur- chased the west half of the 102 acres from him. In 1946 the Brown farm finally passed into the hands of the pres- ent owner, Cyril Brown, grandson of the original settler.
