Daniel and 'Agnes Alton made plans to
come to Canada from Ireland in .1847. Before
they left, Daniel died, however, Agnes and
her family continued with .their plans and
sailed to Canada. , •
They spent the .first winter in Goderich
and in the spring of 1848 they travelled north
and settled at Belfast. It was at Belfast that.
Agnes bought 400 acres froin the crown for
four of her sons.. The same year the other son
bought another 100 acres. It was only
appropriate that the first Alton Reunion be
held where 'our descendants first settled.
Daniel and Agnes had five boys and two
girls who survived the crossing and settled
at Belfast - Jeremiah - Mary Caesar;
Valentine Mary Ann Stroud; Samuel -
Rachel Webster; Ann - Thomas Fowler;
Joseph - Margaret Irwin; Daniel Caroline
Cranston; Frances - Joseph Smeltzer. All

smaller towns.
There was also a family from Cyprus and a
cousin from Australia. They had come to be
a part of the first Alton Reunion and to meet
cousins they had -not seen for years and in
many cases had never met before. The
visitors stayed with relatives wherever it was
possible and only a few stayed in mote1S.
• The weekend started on the dull side with
rain showers until noon but this didn't
dampen the spirits of the guests. Registra-
• tion started at 10 a.m. with several guests
already waiting. Each visitor received a

donation to the memorial stone which was
dedicated on Sunday. • • ,
Proceeding down the hall way they found
the genealogy ofeach of the "seven branches
written on bristol bard and mounted on the,
wall. •, • • '
In the first classroom there were crafts
displayed by Marion Eaton, Ruth Alton and
