Between the -years 1855 to 1660 the farms in Grey Town- ship and Morris were being rapidly . settled. The settlers near the boundary between Grey, Morris and Turnberry Townships decided it was time a centre should be established where the. necessities of life could be purchased. The choice was a mile and a quarter south of the boundary corner (known as Morrisbank) along the bank of the maitland river. Here the. hamlet of Jamestown was laid out. It derived its name from a young man called James Alt; chison, who at that time was a news correspondent for the Hur- onoExpositor in Seaforth. There were several men who lived in the neighborhood called James that also contributed to the n,aine James' Ton James'Lynn, James Strachan, James Simpson, James Forrest and James Moses. The store was situated on the south side of the river. It has been operated through the years by Edward Snell, J, J. Vincent, Robert Allen••Johnston,, Walter Innis, Duncan MacD'on= 'ald, - and the present owner Al- len McKercher & Son. Walter Innis and family purchased the store about 1900 and remained there about five years. Duncan MacDonald bought it from .him in 1905 and was assisted by his brothers William and Fraser: Fraser taught school at No. 10 Morris and worked in the store evenings and weekends.

So years made all the boots and in 1906 Victoria Hall was built to accommodate. a large Sunday school' attendance averaging over 100 per Sunday. -The Sun- day school superintendents were as follows; James Straoban, Thomas Strachan, Mrs. Andrew SirIson, I1ttn,can . IMedaonatd, AtldreW -Pelle* and Robert 15,tvacbal, Tht, Original hall was a, ,frdnRe structure and burned in 1911 but was rebuilt and re- placedi by bhe present brick building which is in a sad state of neglect now. Victoria Hall added much to the life of the,. community. 'Eaeh Sunday eve- ning a church service was cen- ductedt by ministers of the dif-. ferent 4enom mations from, the near villages. A youiig--people's society with a lively -debating tear) Held meetings during the week and was used for concerts and . public meetings. Oyster suppers were the. order ofthe day and tea meetings. During the first war :(1914- to 1918) the ,women's Red Cross Society met weekly to ,sew and many bales of clothing, quilts and socks were sent to the soldiers. After the war, a farmers' club was formed and the men held meet- ings in the hall and about the same time the Women's Insti- tute was started with Mrs. J. D. Miner the first Women's In- stitute president and Rae Moses the first secretary -treasurer. ,The old wooden bridge was replaced with an iron one about 1907. Now a new modern con- crete bridge carries the swift moving traffic over the river on a newly paved road. It is surely vastly changed days 'since ,the early settlers came in the bush and had to carry a bag of wheat On their back to Seaforth for flour and walk both ways. Around 1875 there was a saw mill on the bend pf the river -about forty rod% east around the surrounding coun- shoes' for the community.
