|t is probably known to many, if
- rn^t-mos-tT-of toe ■ readers~of--vne~73fen-*
tinel that the village had its origin
in a , grout of two hundred acres of
land ottered to, anyone who would
erect a mill. by that storied stream,
the JNine-Mile River, near where it
crosses the boundary between the
Counties of Huron and Bruce. An
enterprising.^.German, J. Eli Stauffer
by name, accepted the . challenge
early in the ’50s and built a dam
.and erected a sawmill by it. The
first to join Mr, Stauffer was a man
narked Ralph Miller, who purchased
.some land from Mr. Stauffer and
built on, it. a tavern, , which perhaps
at that time, was more necessaiy for
;the district than a church. In 1858
James Somerville (a name to live
long in Lucknow’s .annals) purchased
JSJi-^Wufifeh’s^hliprSepiiTing^ar^iep®"
of land, he had it surveyed into vil
lage lots-A-(this was in 1861), and he.
T believe, ,bu'il-t also a grist-mill,:
but which .of the two, Walter Tre
leaven ’s or the other. I do-not know.
If I am not mistaken, it was Mr.
SomOrville who gave to the village
its. name. This was about the time
of the Indian Mutiny, and the name
..given icbmmemprates the stirring
scenes vhic.h centred about the Luck

; The first public religious services
held in the vicinity of Lucknow were
ronckuicfced by a Presbyterian elder
by C the narne of Campbell. As .any
one. who has ever, lived in Lucknow
will know,, the early settlers in South

Jtfie Auld Ki^k and the Free Church — -
congregations, Later, I understand,
when' tniidn between these.two sec-'-'
tions of Presbyterianism toqk place,
the st,one chiirch was sold to the,
Baptists and later pame" into the’’pos
session of the Roman Cathplics.,
There' was little thought of Churcha "
Unjon_in thosedays~‘Ithe .Jews had-- .a
little dealing with the Samaritans.”
; My own memories naturally cen
tre around the Methodist churches
of the village. When my father first-,
came to the village, in the summer
-of 1874, the Lucknow New Connex
ion Church was headquarters of the
Circuit. The minister in charge of.
the Wesleyan Churchj was the Rev. . .
John Fisher, of blessed memory, be
tween whom and my father a warm
~fr^ends-hip”^was •'™established7"/Bi=^hBtr™^i^"‘
vear the union of the Wesleyan and
New Connexion bodies took place/
and the two local- congregations
ynited in worship in the Wesleyan S .
Church. ’
In 1876 a turn in the wheel ol
the Methodist itinerancy, carried -our
family to Dungannon,, where I. tin- '
ished my schooling and then, return
ed to Lucknow to occupy the-exalted
office of “devil” in the Sentinel Office,
this being the traditional official tit|e
given the newest apprentice in prin-'
ting offices.. The office was then in
charge of Geo. A. Graham,- who now,
rbale^pdrheartyimhis/earl^iieightiea,-!mm
is proprietor and editor of the Neep- ■ <

preceded me by nearly three y.ears.
