This past February, members of Bayfield's Sparks, Brownies and Guides enjoyed a winter walk in the woods,
where they looked for signs of wildlife. This is just one of the fun things the girls get to do in Guiding; their
new season starts on Sept. 14. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
The benefits of being a member of Bayfield Guiding are many — girls enjoy trying a variety of
new skills in a comfortable, relaxed environment. They also (earn an appreciation of the world
around them by exploring their own great outdoors as well as taking a virtual look at countries
far, far away. They are instilled with the desire to do service for their community, their
environment and for others across the globe. And perhaps above all they develop confidence
and make lasting friendships all in the name of fun!
The season lasts from mid-September to early June and to join Bayfield Guiding the cost is a
mere $110 a year; thanks to the generous financial support of the Bayfield Optimist Club.
Bayfield Guiding has openings for Sparks, aged 5-6 years; Brownies, aged 7-8 years; Guides

BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY
JOHANN GEMET: MADE IN BAYFIELD
kh6 allwo
On the evening of Aug. 23, members of the Bayfield Historical Society travelled to the Huron County Museum in
Goderich to view an exhibit with a local connection. "Made in Bayfield: The Work of John Gemeinhardt" shows a
number of items created by this talented craftsmen during his lifetime. His descendant, Phil Gemeinhardt, of
Bayfield, walked the members through the display describing in detail the significance of the pieces shown.
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
On Aug. 23, members of the Bayfield Historical
Society (BHS) travelled to Goderich to hold their
meeting at the Huron County Museum. The
reason for this expedition was to view the "Made
in Bayfield: The Work of John (Johann)
Gemeinhardt" exhibit featured at the museum until
Dec. 5.
The exhibit highlights artifacts crafted by pioneer
artisan Johann Gemeinhardt. Johann's work is
recognized internationally and samples of his
craftmanship are at Ottawa's Museum of Science
and Technology. The Huron County Museum has
managed to gather hundreds of artifacts in what
has been called the definitive presentation of
Gemeinhardt's work.
The evening was especially poignant as the
society had the added bonus of being guided
through the exhibit by Phil Gemeinhardt, his
daughter, Tracy Saunders and her husband, Tim.
Phil and Tracy are direct descendants of the
master craftsman — great-grandson and great -
great granddaughter respectively.
Phil's family anecdotes breathed life into the
character of the man who made the furniture on
display which ranged from simple "Chicken Coop"
style chairs to an ornate butler's desk created
from Butternut. Once a fairly common tree the
Butternut is now listed as a nationally endangered
species — making furniture created from its wood
all the more precious.
According to Phil, Johann's favorite woods to
work with were Butternut and Cherry.
"He did very little work in pine," Phil said.
He added, "In doing all of this research we believe
we have only about 5 per cent of his output."
Phil, his wife Ilse, Tracy and Tim, began working
with the Huron County Museum two years ago to
plan the exhibit.

Week 37 Issue 62
Gemeinhardt would make a variety of chair styles over the years; one of his simplest designs were known as
"chicken coop" chairs. They bear standard, simple turned legs. These chairs, which have been passed down
through the family, have become known as Gemeinhardt chairs. Items on loan from Tim and Tracy
(Gemeinhardt) Saunders.
This is one of two workbenches used by Johann Gemeinhardt. This lift top workbench sits on a base that
completely breaks down for transport. It measures eight feet, four inches in length. It usually stayed in his
workshop. There is a wooden vice at each end of the bench. The piece is on loan from Phil and Ilse
Gemeinhardt.
Johann Gemeinhardt came to Bayfield in 1856. The board in this photograph is the earliest signature of his that
"It was not just the four of us putting the exhibit
together," he said. "There were at least 50 people
who helped, some as far away as Charlotte Lake.
You just never know where his things are going to
turn up. We were so lucky to have so many
people lend to us their pieces for this exhibit. And
there was lots of work behind the scenes at the
museum too and we are thankful to Pat Hamilton,
museum curator, for all of their help."
Johann was not only a very talented furniture
craftsman and woodcarver, he was also a house
and church builder, cabinet maker, cider mill
operator, beekeeper and undertaker.
He produced a wide range of furniture to satisfy
the local market needs; all would display his
unique touches in the details, like chairs with an
unusally shaped crest rail or a thick chair arm.
"He'd make something whatever style you
wanted," said Phil.
Johann was born in the Bavarian area of
Germany in 1826. He completed his cabinet
making apprenticeship before his departure from
Germany arriving in Bayfield in 1856. He took a
mail order bride, Eva Sophia Katherine Hagen
who, according to Phil, he was not particularly
keen on. However, the good folk of the village
insisted that he marry her and the union produced
eight children; one daughter died as a toddler.
The family resided at 4 Louisa Street in Bayfield.
Several of the furniture pieces on display were
made by Johann as gifts for his family. When his
four daughters were married they were presented
with the gift of a bedroom suite. A highchair
crafted by Johann is another sentimental favorite
of the family. Today it is being used by his great -
great -great grandson.
"Johann was a Lutheran when he came to
Canada and his young son was buried as a
Lutheran but sometime after that he became an
Anglican, perhaps because many of his
customers were Anglican," said Phil.
In fact his touches remain evident today in Trinity
Anglican Church in Bayfield.
Johann was also conscientious about signing his
work but preferred not to sign it where it could be
easily detected. This has become something of a
challenge for his descendants, often times they
need to use a mirror to find his mark; as it could
be signed on the underside of a piece of wood
tucked away in the back of drawer for example.
Such tales as these told by his great-grandson,
delighted the membership of the BHS and
impressed upon them the significance of the
collection.
"This is the most important display of Bayfield
historical artifacts that has ever been held and if

has been discovered. The signed board was found in a house he built for Dr. Ninian Woods in 1857. The house
was torn down a number of years ago.
This cherry cupboard was once relegated to exist as a chicken coop. It was rescued
and refinished and is now a proud addition to the home of Phil and Ilse Gemeinhardt.
This two piece flat to the wall cupboard has six lights with three drawers and a low pie
shelf. It features a simple cornice.
This is a scale replica photograph of what is thought to be the last surviving carousel horse created by
Gemeinhardt. The original horse was too fragile to be transported to the exhibit. The photo was given by horse
owner Moe Johnson and the replica was designed and printed by Elizabeth's Art Gallery. The story is told that a
gentleman from Grand Bend placed an order to have Gemeinhardt create six horses for a carousel he planned
to operate. After most of the horses were finished it was learned that payment was not forthcoming.
Gemeinhardt made two of the horses into rocking horses for his grandchildren. Some of the pieces of the horses
were used as firewood.
you enjoy exploring Bayfield's heritage, it is sure
to be a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Dave
Gillians, president of the BHS.
This restored two door wardrobe
features a butternut case and
cherry door panels. The items has
never left the family and is on loan
from Phil and Ilse Gemeinhardt.
Gemeinhardt made this
exceptional piece in the
Biedermeier style. It is on display
with the drop front open to show
the intricate set of birds eye
veneered drawers and a cubby
flanked by two columns that
support an arch. The carving
resembles stonework. The desk
sits on Alsatian feet. The item is
on loan from Bernard Sturgeon.
Gemeinhardt was a builder of
homes and churches. Much of the
woodwork in Trinity Anglican
Church in Bayfield still shows his

They have become something of an endangered species... it is rare to find one dotting the country landscape these days.
Strong of beam, stone and mortar are their foundation. Despite their frame of graying boards weathered by the elements
they seem to remain fair of face. Unlike their modern day compatriots, made of aluminum and steel, they have an
intrinsic character ... a legacy of family and of harvest.
The barn on Orchard Line has stood watching over the comings and goings of my grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts
and cousins for over a century. It was a favorite place of mine to go as a child. The mow was easy to climb up to and on
lazy summer days I would spend many an hour putting pen to paper there... it was an inspiring location for an aspiring
writer. And I always enjoyed peering out over the front mow door to see the seemingly hundreds of barn swallows that
nested under its eaves in spring. The hustle and bustle of parents and fledglings always signified the end of winter.

For many decades efforts were made to keep this old barn upright but it was proving to be a losing battle ... a tough

On Sept. 1 she witnessed her last sunrise and I was there to say goodbye. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity
to witness the close of a chapter in my family's history. She was brought down in all of 45 minutes but it is a comfort to
know that pieces of her will be preserved. Over the years she had become a favorite muse of both artists and
photographers, myself included, so it is nice to know that her mark in history will live on long after the dust has settled. -
