Also, •-• the •V,an Egmond
Foundation are hopeful other,
people with-eg 'donate, things
relating to the •area's• history that
will result in a collectjon of
documents broader in scope than
%hist' material about the 'Van
Egmond family,. ,, •
In the future, the material will
be available in an organiied way
so people can take advantage of
the. research which has 'already'
been dope.
Obituaries
Some of specific files are on the
Napoleonic papers of Colonel Van
Egrn9nd,.the, obituaries and mar-
riages of , the Van Egmonds:
letters and statements front the
post rebellion years and theyan
Egmond Family tree. p,
Also, there are more general.
collections of newspaper articles
on the history of Tuckermsmith
Township, .Egmondville and
Setiforth.
Volunteer Guides
In tl e' next weeks, Marlene is
also oing tole looking for local
• res dents with an interest in
histo v and a . few spare hours
week which they would be '
willing to spend showing visitors
through the Van Egmond House.
Anyone interested in becoming
a guide, is asked to drop in to see
Marlene at the.house Or else, give
her 'a call. •
Meanwhile, Marlene Turnbull
is cafching a fascinating glimpse
into the men and politics that led
to the settlement of the Huron
Tract and Colonel Anthony Van
Egmond's decision to take up
arms once .again in the 1837
rebellion.
. [by Alice Gibh)
Have you ever .v,',ondered-Whit,
local, •settlers, . including Colonel
— - A nth otty• - Van— EgitiOndr. really
thought of Thomas Mercer Jones,
the dastardly land agent , the,
Canada Company? • ,
'Or have you ever Wondered-if
John Dietrich Constant Louiyan
• EgmOnd really divided his earthly
possessions- fairly between the
family he left behind? •
These - are only two of a
multitude of questions that can be
answered by the hiStorical data
now being catalogued at, Van
Egmond 'House.,
Marlene Turnbull, a University
of Guelph student, has 'been.
working at the house for a
number, of .weeks, cataloguing
•and cross-indexing • everything
from old letters and, photos to
archival materials relating both. to
the Van Egmond family,. the,
opcniftg of. the Huron Tract and
the history of the Eginondville-
Seaforth area.
Marlene, who was, originally
hired , for 'six weeks under the.
Rural Development .Outreach
program of the University of
Guelph, has, now had her time. at•
Van Egtuotid House extended for , t anot fleT SI weeks,
Shows Visitors
In addition to her cataloguing
duties, Marlene is also helping
look after the. grounds and-
^ showing any visitors through the
who. drop by during her
wOrking hours.
Although visitors have hardly
comc'in droves. averaging about
one group a day. they have
proved to be an interesting
mixture. •'' •
Sonic are local people who have
always intended to tour the house
and others are tourists passing
through Egmondville who stop to
sec the house and sometimes
picuic on the grounds. •
Marlene said most of' the
out-of-town visitors arc interested,
in the, heritage associated with •
'the house, but few are actually
familar with the story of Colonel
Anthony Van Egmond and the
1837 rebellion.
The restored bedroom down=
stairs and 'the utensils on display
in 'the kitchen are of particular
interest to the visitors..
In the last few weeks, ttlet•e
have-'been a number of- new
additions to the 'displays in the
home.
Donations
George Flevvitt, a:Tuckersmith
farmer_ has donated tin cari--
nisters, once'-used in grocery
stores for the storage of spices, as
'well as a hand forged iron plough
blade to the Van Egmond
Foundation.
• The blade, made about 1850,
was found by Mr. Flewitt under a •
tree on his farm. The Flewitt farm
was originally cleared in 1830 by
one • of 'three brothers in the '
;Broadfoot. family.
A second recent donation is a
collection of historipal artifacts
from the Duncan Ai kenhead
estate.
Among • the collection are a
number of Indian articles from a
stone skinning knife to' arrow-
heads •and fliritS as.well as a.
number, of old photographs and
letters.
A third addition 'to the. Van
Egmond House is., the asp*
titled New Life for Old Buildings, •
prepared by' the Huron County
Branch of the Architectural Con-
servancy of 'Oti-ts.±Lio.. -

Kalyin Jervis of tgaEa text

hilL4atures historic buildings in
Huron Comity which have been
tiven new uses, saying the
buildings from .• possible
demolition. •
Some of the buildings featUred
Mehl& the old Seaforth Public
School, now a warehouse; the,
Benmiller woolen mill, now
hotel and the Brussels train
station: now a „lawn bowling
clubhouse.
Local History •
A second .special display on
local history, prepared by Paul
Carol]. is featured in the upstairs
bedroom of the house.
-Among the material Miss Turn-
hull has been. inclexibg the past
few weeks arc facsimiles of letters
and othertnateria I, on the Canada
Company ,from both the Ontario
and Canada Archives, the
baptism , records and wills of
members of the Van Egmond
family and data on the last seven
,years of restoration work on the
home.
By • cataloguing and cross-
indexing the material, Marlene
said the files will he available in
the future for anyone' doing
research on the area. She hopes
that even school children would
be able to use. the new cross-
