SE.A.FORTH, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1956
Davidson, Sask., where relatives
had settled a few years earlier.
The wedding took place at the
McKillop Manse. and was conduct-
ed by Rev. David Carswell. Im-
mediately following the ceremony
the young couple drove to Seaforth
with a team hired from. Morrow
Bros. Livery in Seaforth, to catch
the afternoon train, on the first
leg of their journey West. Four
days later they arrived in Saskat-
chewan.
"Those were the days'," Mr.
Somerville recalled. "Everybody
worked. We had no cars or cares.
We were 52 miles from the rail-
way, but neighbors, a mile or two
away, helped each other when
help was needed." '

Seaforth Lumber
Plans Move
Announcement was made this
week of the sale of the property
at the northwest corner of Gode
deb and East William Streets, to
the Sun Oil Co. For, nearly 80
years the site has For.
the loca-
tion of a lumber yard, and planing:
mill.
For some time; accdi'diug to of:
ficers of Seaforth Lumber 'Limit2
ed, who own the property, it had
been felt that there was a require-
ment for more space than -was
available at the Goderich Street
location. In addition, the existence
of a lumber yard andplaning mill
in a built-up area was considered
a potential fire hazard, and as a
result, insurance costs were sub-
stantially higher than would be
the case if the business was lo-
cated elsewhere. Thes,e reasons
prompted the acceptance of the
offer from Sun Oil. The sale is
effective June 1, with possession
being given September 1.
Seaforth Lumber, in the mean-
time, is completing arrangements
for the construction of a modern
mill and warehouse in the area of
Main Street South and Railway
Street. Officials said a ' definite
decision as to the precise location
would be made immediately, so
that there would be no interruption
in the service which the firm pro-
vides its customers.
Sun Oil will erect a service"sta,-„
tion on the site, it was revealed
Monday, when Seaforth Connell
granted the company a building
permit. The station will be thor-
oughly modern in every respect,
and will be built just as soon as
the site can be made available,
according to Ross Scott, Bruce -
field, district Sunoco distributor.
Long a landmark on Goderich
St., the Seaforth Lumber plant was
erected originally by N. Cluff &
Sons nearly 60 years ago. A lum-
ber yard had been operated there
since the early years of ..Seaforth,
and when the Cluff firm decided
to move its planin&rnill,and pump
shop from -ICS" fornierAkatinn at
North Road and Franklin St., the
lumber yard was purchased. The
portion of the plant which houses
the company office originally was
a portion of the McDermid store,
in Harpurhey, and was moved to
Seaforth. Recalling early days of
the firm, Mr. A. 'F. Cluff .said he
assisted in moving. the building to
Seaforth, and- thought it would be
in the early or middle nineties.
For the first year homesteading,
Mr. Somerville used a team of
oxen. The worst feature was 'the
mosquitoes in the summer. "More
than once.those oxen ran away in-
to the slough, with only their heads
above water, trying to escape the
mosquitoes," he said. '
Taxes were only $225 a section,
but roads and schools were poor
because there were relatively few
people in the countrt. Mr. Somer-
ville, who now had been appointed
a district magistrate, and his wife
had a growing family and felt the
need of better schools. When the
opportunity arose in 1919 to sell
their quarter section, they did so
and returned to Ontario, where
.they settled on the farm in ,Mc-
Killop they now occupy.
Mr. Some?aille is the son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Archie Somer-
ville, pioneer residents of McKil-
lop, who later resided in Seaforth,
while his wife was Dora Scott, a
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
William Scott, also of McKillop.
At their wedding they were at-
tended by Margaret Scott and
FreilValbraith, both of whom are
deceased.
There is a family of two sons,
Walter and Archie, of McKillop,
and four daughters, Mrs. Gilbert
Smith. Mrs. Ralph McNichol and
Mrs. Ross Driscoll, of McKillop,
and Mrs. Helen Kirkby, of Wind-
sor. There are 20 grandchildren,
-and Mr. Somerville bas a brother,
Elliott, of iitotoria, B.C., and a sis-
ter, Miss Minnie Somerville, of
Seaforth. Mrs. Somerville has two
sisters, Mrs, William Woodrow and

Heaviest loser in Tuckersmith
was Sandy Pepper, who had two
barns destroyed, windows smash-

home, as well as a driving shed

A barn owned by Wilson Mc- f
Cartney was completely demolish-

fields as far as half a mile away.
Metal roofing torn from wrecked
buildings littered the roads and
was' wrapped around hydro poles
and trees:—In McKillop, roofing
material was blown over high
tension lines, resulting in hydro
disruption over a wide area. Sea -
