TOWN OF SEAFORTIL like station on the Eginontiville and
The flourishing town of Seaforth
inay be justly described as one of the
most prosperous and progressive of a
section of country where prosperity
and progress have been the order of
the day. Not se many years ago, and
within the memory of the present
generation, the spot which now
marks the existence of this int-
eortant centre of trade and indus-
try was a dense and almost impen-
etrable forest echoing back the scream
ei wild fowl and the croak of reptile.
Without any natural advantages of
position and with the actual disad-
vantages of what was in the early
days considered an iuferior tract uf
land -from being comparatively low
and therefore more difficult to bring
under the subjection of the husband-
man -this spot was passed by unheed-
ed by thousands who, to use a com-
mon expression, " went further to
fare worse." Its lowness constituted
a serious impediment also to any ap-
proach to a settlement at this point,
and other places grew apace and pros-
pered, too, on all sides, and within
such easy distances, that none ever
dreamed of a great future in store for
the " Guide Board Swamp," as the
place was lamiliarly known from the
met that there then stood for many
years at the " four corners" a post-.
office and finger board pointing to-
wards ligmondville, Ainleyville (now
Brussels) and Goderich, showing the
direction and number of miles to each
place.
The first who ever had the courage
to settle in " the swamp" was An-
drew Steene, who' located on lot 26,
con, 1, McKillop,, at an early day in
the history of that township. Ile
made a clearing and built a log house
on the southeast corner of the lot,
which was the first and for years
the only habitation on what now com-
prises the town of Seaforth. This
house stood until quite recently as
originally built but was destroyed by
lire lately, a part of it, the oldest
landmark in the place, yet remaining
m the condition of a ruin.
At a very early date lot 11, con. 1,
Tuckersmith, was purchased from the
Canada Company by one McGregor,
who took up his residence further
west of the Huron Road, beyond Har-
puthey, clearing some ten acres, how-
ever on the corner where Carmichael's
hotel afterwards stood and after this
amount of improvement was made up-
on the '81'4ce he offered the whole mo
acres for $45o, without a purchaser
for a long time, but finally disposed
of it at about that figure to Christo-
pher Sperling.
Shortly after this Andrew McKear-
nen, an Irishman, purchased three
acres on the northeast corner ofthe
lot and erected a log tavern on _ the
very spot since occupied by Carmich-
ael's hotel. This was the second. hab-
itation and the first public house in
the place. The above two •houses
were the only ones here until the in-
auguration of the Buffalo, Brantford
and Goderich Railway, afterwards the,
Buffalo and Lake Huron. About this
time great activity was evinced in.
speculation in th? lands in the vicin-
ity of the supposed line of the pro-
posed railway. Under this excitement
the balance of McGregor's lot was
purchased from Mr. Sperling ny
Messrs. Patton, Bernard & Le Froy,
professional men from the east, who
at •once surveyed the whole lot into
a town plot and through whose enter-
prise Seaforth received its first im-
pulse.
The name of the place was so called
by the above gentlemen in .their first
registered village plans, in honor ol
the native place of one of them in
Scotland,which name it has since re-
tained,
Mr. Patton was of Scotch descent,
being a son of Andrew Patton,- a nat-
ive of Fifeshire, Scotland, a Major in
?i.U. 45th Regiment of the .line,from
which he retired after the close of the
Anglo-American war in 1812-15 and
settled in the county of Lennox, U.C.,
where his family were reared. He was
at that time a law partner of Hon.
Sir. Macdonald of Kingston. He was
afterteards Hon. James Patton and a
partner oi the Rt. Hon, Sir John
A.' Macdonald and the last surviving
one of the trio who may be said to
have been the founders of Seaforth.
Messrs. Bernard and Le Froy were
lawyers of Barrie, Ont. The former
had been a regular army officer of
high rank, an Irishmen, who subse-
quently returned to his native coun-
try. A stationand village on the
Northern Railway, near Barrie, were
named after the latter.
A brother of Hon. Mr. Patton was
the first postmaster in the_ place. He,
in company with one Torr,were among
thc. • earliest business men, having
moved here in 186r from Wroxeter.
Previous to that the postollice had
been at Harpurhey, but through the
enterprise of a few men who control-
led the destinies of SeaforthIlarpur-
hey (which until about that date had
been the leading place of the two)
lost the office, which was removed here
as above stated. About the same
time also most of the business Men
of Harpurhey giving up the fight for
supremacy which had been waged be-
tween the two localities for scene time
past, moved down to Scaforth, there-
by raiding to the prosperity of the
latter place and effectually settling
the destiny of Harputhey as a place
te any possible future importance.
Among those who moved down at
that time were Dr. Coleman (of Cole-
man & Gunlock, who was the first
practising physician in the place),
Ballantyne (present Inspector of
Licenses), James liatt (shoe dealer
and subsequently largely identified
with municipal affairs), Um. Grassie,
also afterwards closely identified with
public matters ; Thos. Knox (who
built the Commercial hotel and carried
it on for sonic years) and Edward
Ilickson of Hickson & Bleasdell,
who erected a store and commenced
business at D. D. Wilson's present
stand.
At that time the Huron Road was a
very primitive and inferior one from
the western limits of the county of
Perth, which had macadamized it as
far as the Ilibbert and town line ;
'lett its extension westward, together
with the 'adoption of Seaforth as the
southern terminus of the " Grey Turn-
pike" instead of Harputhey, as was
originally intended, added still furth-
er to the prosperity of the place by a
iresh stimulation of its development
and progress.
When the Buffalo and Lake Huron
Road was first built, though Harper -
hay was many times the extent of
Seaforth, neither place was considered
nf sufficient importance by the Rail-
way Company to require a station.
The people of the former piece, how-
ever built a flag station themselves ;
fitful the people of EgInOlitIVille built a
Seaforth Road -now Main street of
Seaforth. They were both used siinp-
ly as flag stations ior a considerable
time -meanwhile both localities using
their utmost endeavors with the Com-
pany to esta.blisli the real station
with themselves. No action. was tak-
en, however, until Messrs. Patton,
Bernard and Le Froy laid out the vil-
lage plot and made an offer of sta-
tion grounds to the Company, free •
of charge on ccuulition of their locat-
ing their station thereupon. This of-
fer was accepted with the additional
condition on the Company's part that
a station be likewise built free of eX-
pense to themselves. Thereupon the
inhabitants of Egmondville and Sea -
forth combined and erected the station
still used: and on the spot w iere we
now ete it ; and Harputhey w. s oblig-
ed to give up the contest for suprem-
acy as above narrated,though previous
to this tiine it. was quite a flourishing
village, containing nearly .a delsen
stores, several hotels and a corres-
ponding number of • mechanics' estab-
lishments of all description.
And now began the .same strife be-
tween Egmondville and Seaforth
which had previously existed between
Seaforth and Harpurhey. In short,
the people of the first -named place on-
ly assisted these of Seaforth to the
ascendency over Harnurhey, to . be
themselves shnilarly deprived. of it
by -this now important place whose
embryo growth, if not exactly inaug-
urated, was at least wonderiully de-
veloped by the decadence of its two
jealous neighbors.
Even subsequent to the establish-
ment of the peneanent railway Sta-
tion here, Eqmondville was 'tor echne
thne by far the most populous -mai
'important place, containing nearly . a
dozen goods stores, with local mane.
ufacturet of variouskinds to. -corres-
pond with the' extent of its then tx*-
uiaticm. and. mercantile. trade. • Soon,
however, the relative position of the
two places coininenced to be changed
and as in .the ease of ilarputhey• the.
nierchanteand inecbanics of. Eginond-
ville began to exchange locationestlie•
movement continuing till • the chief
part .of the business men of the latter.
place had withdrawn from it and see -
tied in the rival village, _now. fast as -
seining the proportions and im ortance
of a busy little .railroad town. . .
Among the -first to remove was
J. Dicklensafterwards 'Registrar. Of ...the
County, then the :leading merchant of.

adversely' affected'. as. Might be • stipe

causes, .except with :jobhing alone,
which in those days was beginning to.

ion of those well informed on such'
matters that the, retail trade -has even
kept on • increasing, partly - be-
cause the tract of country. to. the

town in a business point- of vievv, has
Leen developedduring these years
from an almost Uninhabited -forest to
a thickly settled community, Which
fact is especially true iii respect -to

Eczema's Itch
Is Torture
Mrs, Ana McDonald, Kingsville, Ont.,
writes For about three years I was a
dreadful sufferer from eczema. At times
the patches of raw, flaming flesh would
extend from my waist to my neck and
from the knees to the ankles. The intense
itching almost drove me crazy and though
I tried all the local physicians, they could
not even relieve the suffering The flesh
would crack open, and I don't believe any.
one ever suffered more than, I did. „
"1 was told of Dr. Chase's Ointment
but did not believe that it could help me.
After the fifth application of this prepara-
tion, I began to feel the benefit of its
soothing, healing effects, and now attribute
a cure to the persistent use of this wonder-
ful remedy. It is truly worth its weight
in gold and I never tire of recommending
it to other sufferers,"
Besides being a thorough cure for
eczema and salt rheum, Dr, Chase's Oint.
ment comes useful in a hundred ways in
every home for every form of skin irrita.
tion and eruption, chapped skin and
chilblains. 6o cents a box, at all dealers,
