Tindeliville was the. Official
name for Ethel long before the
Scotchman William Spence, re-
named .the settlement. It was
a thriving little place back in
1867, when Mr. Spence arrived
in Grey Township to set up his
pottery.
•
•In 1873 the Wellington, Grey
,and Bruce, (now C.N.R.) railroad
was built from Palmerston to
Winghafi, it was then that Ethel
was selected for the logical site
for the municipal otfiee and the
Township hall.
In 1,8$1 a small office was
built by the pioneer Scotchman
Wm. Spence adjoining his home
and it became the Telegraph-Of-
fiee. and Clerk's office., The first
mill was built in 1882 by Mr.
Carter and sold to Mr. It Mc-
Allister, In 1901, Mr. Moses Hen-

it as a.flour mill until•it was de-
stroyed by fire in 1912. In 1913,
Mr. Irvin Raynard rebuilt. a
chopping nliil and it fell prey to
flames in May, 1931. The present
mill was built by Clifford R.
Dunbar, the summer of 1931, he
carried on the chopping and
feed business until he sold to the
present owner J. Lamont.
The first school' was built in
1869 on the site where Mr. and
Mrs. Wm..•Campbell live. The
new school became the centre
for Religious worship for both
churches in the village, the
Presbyterians used it in the af-
ternoon and the Methodists in
the evening, until the Presby-
terian church was built in 1874
and the Methodist. church in
1877, on the Dobson farm, and
it was moved in 1917 to the pre-
ent location, bricked, enlarged
and renovated. Also` a commun-
ity shed was built. Rev. J. W.
Johnston was minister' at that
time.
The store now operated' by
Mr. A. Lounsbury, formerly
known as the Love Block, was
built in 1906 by Mr. S. S. Cole,
and bou t by Mr. and Mrs, W.
H. Loy in January, 1907. Mr.
Love o ated a furniture and
undertaking businessuntil retir-
ing in April, 1946. lr. John Mc-
Donald was the first general
merchant in the Love Block.

or 1873, Mr. McAllister was the
first merchant there, that was
when butter was sold in crocks
and buckets; priced from 8c to
18c but have been told if jud-
ged . by the strength, it should
have been 50c a pound,' also un-
graded eggs, sometimes one
would belucky to get two for
one (chick in egg). This building
was destroyed by fire in 1909.
It was rebklilt in 1910 by Mr.

that lived here on July 2,' 1910,
when he and his family moved
to the village of Ethel, they are
Misses Mamie and Ella Hansuld
and Charles Hansuld, and Dr.
.and Mrs. Wardlaw.
ETHEL
(written by Miss Emma Fen)
Proudly by the banks of the
Maitland
Looking,ealmly over the stream,
Stands the small and quiet vill-
age
illage
Ethel, long her name ha4 been.
Many changes have come o'er
her
But her courage still is high,
Though She sees the rolling riv-
er
Often high in flood, flow by,, ,
I recall the- logs in springtime,
Floating downward to the Mill,
As by experts they were driven;
In my mind I view them still.
I can see the busy saw mill,
With the logs piled close and
high,
Waiting to be sawed into lumber
But, that mill has gone for aye.
All the helpers that were 'sett-
led -
Near the Mill, are scattered too,
Some have gone to far off re-
gions, -
More will ne'r return to you.
Of the 'many known in child-.
hood,
When I trod the way to school,
Few are left to teII the story -
Or recall the old time rule.
Forges. stores and noisy grist-
mill,', '
All have undergone s change,
And the, little school outdated
Is replaced by new and strange:
Tailor shops and shops where
'dresses
Hats madeand, mantles towere
. o, _.,__._
Memory also recalls them
And their good and useful
trades.
Idle. stands the old Post Office.
'nTat another mare was found,.
Where the mail its stamped and
sorted, ,
Fre the Postman goes his
rounds. •
Churches too have been remod-
elled
And combined, the old and new.
They repeat the glad, sweet mes-
sage
Of God's love so fond and true.
Years have gone since last the
Potter '
Moulded into pots the clay,
And the weaver and the Cooxler
Bade farewell to life's short day,
Many good old friends you've
sheltered
In the hast. from you have gone.
And I miss, their -word of wel-
come .
And the hand clasp true and
warm.
•
Streets are laid and lawns arc
nlanf.ed -
With the rose • and fragrant
'flowers.
Houses glow with paint and
brightly
Shine the lights in darkest
hours.
So live on my littl.m.village
May you stretch out far and
wide,
That your homesmy 'shield in
comfort
Aged folk and youth beside.
Cranbrook derived its name
from a small. town on an Put -
lying ridge of the Hastings
sand formation in the South
of Kent, England. The oldest
village in Grey Township,
thisbeing due to the fact that
it was the first to have a post-
master. Mr. Govenlock, held
this position in 1854, Cran-
brook was originally known'
as "The Plot" or "Grey" be-
ing fairly close to the centre
of the township. The first set --
tier in "The' Plot" was James
Tuck who built a hotel known.
as the "Montreal House" and
was the first tavern in the
township and- was erected in
1854. In the year 1855 Mr.
William Tanner opened a
store and he became the post.

established a saw -mill' and
Mr, Thomas Johnson set un
a si'nall manufacturing plant
for tin and copperware and
took over as postmaster in

the Maitland River in the.
year 1857 and this encourag-
ed more settlers into the vil-
lage and by the 1880's, there
was a population of two hun-
dred. A§ fate would haye it
