the general store.
The store was built in 1897 by
Mrs. Lucas, a widow with two small
girls. The upstairs provided a hall
for dances. A new store was built in
the 1920s after a fire. It closed for
the final time in 1975.
Bethel Methodist Church opened
in 1893. The Presbyterians
purchased the church in 1902 and it
became known as Bethel
Presbyterian. The name was changed
to Knox in 1910 and the current
building constructed in 1912.
With church union it became a
United Church in 1925, but was
closed in 1976.
The school was built for a third
time in 1925 on Lot 31. It closed in
1965 and students were transported
to Grey Central Public School near
Ethel.
At that time the community
purchased the schoolhouse and
began using it as a community hall.
The old 1926 frame hall was torn
down.
The community had a blacksmith,
chopping mill. Now a residential
community, an old mill building still
stands as does the general store and
church. The community hall is still
in use.
Carmunnock
Situated on Lot 35, Conc. 18
(Blyth Rd.) Carmunnock was settled
in 1866 and boasted a store and post
office, hotel, boarding houses, and
sawmill.
The post office, first called Stowe,
was at Lot 32, but was moved in
1874. The store and post office
buildings were dismantled in 1899.
The hotel was destroyed by fire.

Diehl, McLellan hope
reunion inspires pride
Continued from page 13
12 -team co-ed tournament and a
parade that ran from the public
school to the ball park.
When this weekend is in the
books, Diehl and McLellan hope
that residents and former residents
come away with a sense of history
and pride in their community.
With people passing away and
moving on to different communities,
McLellan said that some of the
community's newer residents are
slightly removed from the sense of
Grey's history. He hopes this event
can instill some of that in residents
who haven't lived in Grey their
whole lives.
Congratulations Grey Township!
