Mr. Lucas was a veteran of World War II coming to Lu- can, after the war, where he was an employee at the D. A. Ashworth Store for s ix years. Shortly after coming to Lucan he was married and lived on Alice St. in Mrs. Murdy' s Apt. until they bought the home of the late Myron Culbert. This house they sold and at the time of leaving Lucan, had bought and renovated the house now occupied by Mr. Alex Young on Main St. North. Mr. Lu- cas then bought a hardware store at Arkona which he was running, as well as a plumb- ing business, at the time of his sudden death. A number of Lucan friends attended the funeral service and the funeral home, prior to the service. Some months ago the Su- pertest purchased the brick cottage, which stood between the Lucan Service Station and the post office, from Mr. Robert Downey so they could enlarge their parking accommodation. Thurs- day, Oct 14, work of demo- lition began and by the end of the week nought but a memory remained of this historic landmark, for on Open house honors bride Mrs. Donald Graham of RR 3 Komoka, held open house, Oct. 18 in honor of her daughter, Lynn whose mar- riage to Allan Ryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Ryan of Lucan, took place Saturday, Oct. 23.

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.
