local effort. Men of the coxigre-
lation quarried the stone, made
the lime and with a stone bee
in the summer of 1863, moved
the stone to the site of the
church.
The land on which the chtirch
was built on let '18, concession
11; Hibbert Township, was do.
nated by Donald .McKellar; the
farm is new owned by Charles,
Douglas.
The stone was taken from' a
quarry on lot. 19, concession 11,
Hibbert, property now owned
by Eldon Allen. Lime was ex-
tracted from Stone _on lot 18,
concession 11, now owned ijy
Mervin Dow. Mr. Dow is an

Contractor for the stone work
on the church, John Watson,
remarked, "I'll guarantee that
wall for 1,000 years." Total cost
of the building was $1,500."
The interior of the church
was finished in 1868. Rough
pine was bought in Monkton
and finished at Mitchell. -
