eTurnberry township has
funny :shape,
It was left over when they
cut the cake-e• of . Heron
We 'know why 'our township
was* called, TtirnherrY, but, have,
beep puzzled as to who named it.
Now this has come to light,
In 1928 a celebration along the
road from Stratford to Goderich
tools place tocommemorateememorate the
opening of the road, of the Huron
Tract as It was called. The de-
signer of the new town on Lake
Heron, Goderiph, was Dr. Wm.
Dunlop, His tomb rises above
the tow.n . and looks across the
blue expanse of the lake, He was
a famous and unforgettable fig-
ure, In one of the speeches made
at this memorable "celebration I
found this parakraph:
"The Doctor 'christened one
towns* up the river Turnberry.
In 1307 Robert Bruce lantleci on
the. Cerrick coast of Scotland,
and centered his own castle of
Turnberry from the English. The.
Dunkeps sprang from the Bruce
line. Dr, Dunlop came from
'Greenock in, Scotland. He Was a
most able, picteresque and hum-
orous man, made no boast
of religion he simply lived it,
The half obliterated lettering on
his tomb is not his epitaph. He
is best remembered by what he
did and when ever that has faded
a whole countryside of happy and
prosperous homes shall remain• to
keep his memory green.
"There is but one other of the
stature of Dunlop, a' composite
'figure "the Pioneer",,' No tongue
has ever told or ever can tell the
story of his heartbreaks, heart-
breaks for the •homeland, and the
hornefolks he was never - to see
again, Heartbreaks for the soli-
tude that lay about him, for the
mountains -and for the arduous
toil to make a clearing and a
horne. Sturdy and resolute he
fought to the end. When we reap
let- us not forget the man who
plowed and sowed,. and went- off
