Mr. Lucas was a veteran of

this site stood Lucan's first
negro school.
It will not be entirely for-
gotten for the Lucan WI plan
to have a plaque made, to
mark the spot of the vill-
age's first seat of learning.
In 1830 a Quaker group
"The Society of Friends"
from Oberlin, Ohio, pur-
chased 600 acres of land
at $1.50 an acre for escaped
slaves and free negroes and
so began the Wilberfore Col-
ony, which extended on, what
is now No.4 Highway, from
the Catholic Church to the
Sauble Hill.
For a few years the colony
flourished and a log school
was built but in 1843 the
Quakers discontinued their
financial support and the set-
tlers gradually moved else-
where. Today only a few
descendants remain.
Later the school was taken
over by the white population
and the late Wm. Porte be-
came its first teacher in
1856.
Mr. Porte, his son, Fred,
and his daughter Miss Ida,
had charge of the Lucan post
office for many years. Miss
Porte at 94, is now living in
Toronto.
