The 81 year old house had previously stayed in St. Columban all Its life. The move held up traffic on the highway for about 20 minutes. (Kloezephoto) Area house moved, butm�mories remain BY JOAN CRONIN A one storey frarhe-house, petit in size in comparison to the housing of today, which stood for the past 81 years in St. Columban was moved to a new location on Tuesday. It didn't go far, only three miles south, west of St. Columban, It will be a new 'home for Mr, and Mrs. Brian Nigh. To many, the moving isn t unique because it's been done before. But with the house goes 81 years of memories and important facts. Inside its walls there have lived young and old, few and many, from various walks of life. it has been a place where life began and where it ended. And no doubt. it was filled with joy and laughter, along with many tough times during the depression and sadness for some when Rtes Journey ended. In 1903 the house was built on land owned by Mary Angela Crotty on lot 25, concession 1 of Hibbert Township and according to the book "A Hibbert Review (Part Two) by Isabelle Campbell". it was built by Rev. Albert McKeon and used as a home for the church caretaker, Alphonse Kuhlman. While Mr. Kuhlman lived in it, he used part of it for the St. Columban post office. He was the postmaster from 1903 to 1906. John Eckerturchased the property from Mrs. Crotty in 1p907. He spent the remainder of his life there. After his death in 1921, Bridget Curtin purchased the property where she made her 'home and carried on a dressmaking shop until 1929 at which time Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Roach became the new owners. It was home for them and their 14 children. In 1958 Wm. P. Mciver purchased the home and lived in it with his wife Catherine until 1966 when Joseph L. Ryan purchased the property. in 1967 he sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Maloney. Theresa Maloney then sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. Jim Cronin in 1983. They are now building a new home on the property and that is why the original home was sold and is now relocated. For the generations today, the house moving will be thought of as the old making way for the new. But for those who have lived there, it will be remembered by their descendants as they recall the good old days with grandparents. It will always be remem- bered in the pages of history. DUBLIN AND AREA July is month of fun Correspondent JOAN CRONIN 345-2772 July is not only the month for sun, fun and vacation but it is also the month when the farming community is really bustling. The first cut hay is in the mow and the beans and corn are looking better every day especially after that badly needed rain we got this week. The wheat is beginning to show signs of turning to that majestic gold color, and the barley heads along .with the wheat fills out more each day. This time of year also brings on. a great deal of anticipation from the farmers when we get a rain storm. Too often they are left with crops that are down and in soar cases flooded out. We certainly need the rain to make everything grow but getting it stopped is quite another matter. The gardeners are beginning to reap the bounty of those tasty fresh green vegetables as the strawberry season comes to a close. The beautiful outdoor flowers that can be seen throughout the community sure brings the feeling of life and warmth to their surroundings even on the dullest day.
