Oxford photo Duffs Church in Walton celebrates 125 years BY SUSAN OXFORD Duff's United Church, Walton, celebrated its 125th anniversary with a gathering of past and present members September 23. A com- memorative service was held and special guest speaker was John King, Rural Life Coordinator for London Conference. As part of the service music was provided by the Wilbee Family Orchestra and the Bosman Trio. A reception was held at the church after the service and the reception room was decorated with memories from the past. Pictures of past and present members adorned the walls. Some old brides' dresses were on display alongside photographs of the newlyweds. The reception was well attended and almost everyone had a friend or relative pictured in the many photographic displays. The displays were the result of research work done by members of the church in compiling a history of Duff's Church, and the church history is almost a complete history of the town of Walton itself. Church members attending the reception ranged in age from newborn to long time members. Duffs Church has a long history that began in 1865 when a frame Presbyterian Church was built in Walton and Rev. John Ferguson first preached at the little church. In 1869 the frame church was replaced by a new one, followed by a renovation and veneering in 1895. The United Presbyterian Churches of North America and the Pres- byterian Church united in 1910 and the Walton church became Duff's Presbyterian Church. The frame church building was soon demolished and the present church constructed of brick was built in 1912. The adjoining property on the east side of the church was pur- chased in 1922 and a manse was built to house the minister. In 1924, after a congregational meeting where a majority vote of Duff's 68 members was in favour of entering the United Church of Canada, the Walton church became a United Church. The following year two more major churches joined the United Church, the Methodist Presbyterian and Congre?ational churches, and the church in Walton became known as Duff's United Church. The Methodist Church building in Wal- ton was sold to the Orange Lodge Hall and today is the Walton Com- munity Centre. Past ministers of Duff's United Church in Walton have been: Rev. Mains 1926-31; Rev. Charles Cum- mings 1931-39; Rev. Gilbert 1939- 41; Rev. Hazelwood 1942-51; Rev. W. Meurrig Thomas 1951-61; Rev. Arthur Higginbottham 1961-67; Rev. Derwyn Docken 1967-75; Rev. Edward Baker 1975-80; Rev. Charles Swan 1980-85; and Rev. Bonnie Cole-Arnal 1985 -. A complete history of Duffs United Church has been compiled by member Marilyn McDonald for publication and the 50 page book will be available for sale in Decem- ber.
