The Lucknow Sentinel, 1989-10-11, Page 18Where is Purply Grov
In this season of being thankful I cannot
help but be thankful for our ancestors who
braved the harshness of settling our com-
munity. Some of you have asked where
Purple Grove is? In days past. there was
a post office in the residence now owned
by Marion Emmerson, and a lovely little
Methodist Church. Of course the post office
is a thing of the past and the church has
been torn down. Now Purple Grove is
situated in the hearts of those living in
that area east of the 15th and taking in
Concessions 10, :and 12 and the boundary
between Huron and Kincardine townships,
bordered on the east by the Huron -Kinloss
boundary road.
And because Purple Grovers have
always had large hearts and don't like to
leave anyone out, there are a lot of folks
outside of that little area that claim the
name. Because each one contributes their
part all are welcomed and appreciated.
One of the positives in the community is
the former Purple Grove School, now con-
verted into a Community Centre. It's a
great place to gather and celebrate our
rural roots.
Congratulations to the folks at Teeswater
forputting on another - good fair. Some
from our community attended and enjoyed
themselves.
