A great day in Greenway, large crowd at anniversary By MANUEL CURTS GREENWAY "It was a great day. This was the comment of the many former members who came from near and far to join in the 100 year celebration of the birthday of Greenway United Church on Sunday, June 8. Responding to the 260 in- vitations sent by the Centennial Committee they came from Detroit, Sarnia, Toronto and London - you name the place, there was someone from there. When they filled the auditorium, still they came and were ushered to the Sunday School rooms, where, fortunately a public ad- dress system had been set up, thanks to "Chuck" Box of Parkhill. Greenway United Church had its beginning in 1860 when Mrs. James McPherson gathered the children in the community into her home on Sunday and held Sunday School for some time. The first gathering held in the nature ,,r a church community event v, as a meeting held in Henry Shank's woods in 1868. Then in 1875 a Methodist Episcopal Church was built on the site where the United Church now stands. That church was replaced in 1897. Several smaller churches in the area which joind with this church in the pioneer days, included, Bethel Methodist situated on the farm now owned by Mrs. Irwin Luther; Salem Methodist, Couple at wedding Riverview Estates OF EXETER LIMITED MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY t“11‘11111111 ( - 71-3 VMMMI :: de .00 • In • III.1111 ‘ ;;;„°- INE IIIIIII 1 MO� 1111111 #11//*/ moo tiiiiiiss t► MOW The Ultimate IN MOBILE HOME LIVING Dealers For: Northlander - Marlette - Glendale - Bendix DISPLAY HOMES GEORGE ST.

Lockland of that time; Corbett Methodist, a quarter mile south of Corbett ; the German Evangelical Church, on the farm now owned by Mrs. Grace Stewardson and the German Lutheran Church, on the farm now owned by Morley Eagleson. In 1926 the Corbett Presbyterian Church and the Greenway Methodist Church joined to form the Greenway United Church. Since 1884 no less than twenty- six ministers have served the church which is of the Grand Bend Pastoral Charge. Surviving today are Rev. J. M. Coiling, London; Rev. S. J. Mathers, Toronto; Rev. J. B. Moore, Kitchener; Rev. K. M. Wood, Victoria, B.C.; Rev. W. C. Smith, Oshawa; Rev. A. E. Holley, Kitchener; Rev. C. A. Brittain, Minesing and Rev. G. E. Morrow, London. The present minister, Rev. H. G. Dobson will be succeeded by Rev. H. J. Moore of Cedar Springs on July 1. Rev. A. E. Holley was the guest minister at the morning service on June 8 and another former minister, Rev. C. A. Brittain will be the speaker at the continuing celebrations on October 19. Rev. K. M. Wood who had planned to attend the services in October has now regretfully declined the invitation. Of special interest to many of those attending the June 8 celebration was the display of pictures and other items arrayed in the Sunday School room, under the supervision of Mrs. Harold Brophey, daughter of the late Wilbert Young, to whom much credit is due to the preservation of much of the early history of the church. Another highlight of was the attendance Surprise visit with parents By MRS.
