Currie One year in the 1850's the settlers in Northern Wawanosh decided to build a church. It was built under the auspices of a Methodist denomination (which one, I would like to know. Wesleyan, Free or Meth- odist?) It had to be and was built of logs hewn by hand with axes. A site was donated by Mr. Reid on a corner of the east half of Lot 35, Concession 13. The church was built by organi- zing a bee. The adjacent settlers gather- ed, hewed and erected the logs the most important part of which was the fitting of the co r• vers, which were dove -tailed. The one who did this was call- ed a corner -man. At this rais- ing the corner -men were one corner, Robert Currie (Presby- terian); two corner, William Higgins(Methodist); three cor- ner Thomas Burc (Angli- can); Burchill An can); four corner, John Gibson, (Roman Catholic). There was no resident pastot Services were held when an itinerant minister came along (mostly on horse -back). At one service held in 1857 seven boy babies were baptised, among others, and all given the name of John, They were John Reid, John Shiell, John Currie, John Linklater, John Higgins, John Lean, Ellen Gorrie; drawing, Jane Ann Nethery, Rosemary Forsyth, Elaine Archer, Adora MacLean; hiker, Adora Mac- Lean, Nancy Seli. Voyager Rank, Jane Ann Nethery, Karen Ritter, Elaine Archer, Janice McTavish, San- dra Currie, Cathy Guest; dis- coverer rank, Rosemary For- syth, Jane Ann Nethery, Ellen Gorrie; settler rank, Patricia Cantelon, Nancy Guest. Thomas Currie, and we are not sure of the surname of the seventh. Anyone who has additional information is asked to please send it to the committee. Former Minister, Fred W. Schaffter Dies in Brantford Rev. Frederick W. Schaffter, 80, who was active in the Ang- lican ministry for almost 50 years, died early Friday in the chronic patients'wing at the Brant Sanatorium where he had been since December. Born in England of mission- ary parents, Canon Schaffter spent much of his early life in India, but was educated in n schools in England. He came to Canada in 1909 with his young bride. He held his first parish in Montreal. In 1926 he came to Huron diocese and the parish of St. Paul's, Wingham. He went to Brantford and St. Jude's Anglican Church in 1932 and served the parish until his retirement from active mini- stry in 1957. At one time or another, Ca- non Schaffter was padre of just about every veteran's organiza- tion in Brantford, He was a for- mer member of the senate of the University of Western Ont- ario, London. He leaves his wife, three daughters, three sons and 11 grandchildren. Many a guy has the habit of saying, " Well, I'm going to tell you the truth. , ." Makes me wonder what he has been telling me.
