If you get word from friends out

next winter.
Mrs. Willis, who lived to a great
old age, was fond of' ’ telling of
many thrilling incidents that took
place in those early days. On one
Government Exten- ^occasion, when her husband was
4a meeting of the; away from home, she was ro'asting a
piece of venison over the fire on
the hearth. The door of the shan
ty was open and while she was in
the act of turning the roast over
__ a gray wolf sprang through the
of the council and for the -discus- door, s£(zed the piece of meat and
ainn nf MnniHnai onH Snhnni was gone. This was only a sample
of what She could tell of the raids
on their pens when one or more
of their sorely-needed pigs were car
ried off. There was also the con
stant dread of what hungry packs
of wolves might do to their calves
and even cows.
As their farming efforts, the
couple cut down and cleared their
first five acres by hand. They had
no oxen to draw the logs together.
In the winter of 1833, the late
William McConnell built a shanty
near where the Presbyterian Church
stands now and in the fall -of the
year
in a large area around Exeter

district.
Previously to his coming to Exe
ter he had lived in London Town
ship and had contracted to chop and
clear a large portion of the London
Road. He was partly paid for this
by a large grant of land that he
disposed of later. For many years
he occupied an important position
in his section of the' country. A
child born in his home was the first
white child born in the area.
In spite of the fact of there
being a sawmill and gristmill, (pie
growth of Exeter was .slow. The land
was low and wet, a large portion of
the site being -covered with water
for most of the summer. This re
tarded settlement, but in 1847 the
late Isaac Carling, Sr., arrived and,
aftei* looking the situation over,
he believed there was a bright fu
ture for Exeter, and time has
proved that- he was right.
He opened a tannery and store,
but closed the store before long.
The tannery proved -to he a profit
able venture and Mr. Carling did
much to aid in the growth of Exe
ter and in the development of a
civic pride among the citizens. For
two sessions he ‘represented South
Huron in the Ontario Parliament.
The tannery, saw and grist mills
have run their carders, but the
memory of their founders is
high respect.
