As will it was a celebration for the Van Sligten- horsts to commemorate the 150th year that the farm has been in the family. Joan is the fifth generation to live on the farm and Darcy, Ra- chel, Sarah and Carolyn are the sixth generation. Margaret Lamont Elliott, the fourth generation, lives on the comer of the farm and is the family member of all the genera- tions who has lived the longest time on the property. The completion of the history of the family by Joan was distributed to the descendants. Six children were born to Jein and William La- mont and six more to Jein and James Esler after William died. All 12 were born on the farm and lived part or all of their youth in the present day house built in 1867. Contact had been lost with five of the seven who had children until the late 1980s. The descendants of Mary Lamont Pattison in Michi- gan, Skip and Louise Pattison of Black Creek, Michigan spent part of the weekend visiting and meet- ing in person their Canadian rela- tions. Acquaintance was renewed by mail with the daughters of Dr. John Esler - Margaret Vanstone aged 91 of Alberta and Dorothy Haydock aged 88 of Renfrew. Both these la- dies contributed immensely to the history and produced information on Allan Ester's family. Fortunate- ly they were able to attend the cele- bration and were one of the high- lights of the day. Until July no contact had been made with Robert Lamont's de- scendants for over 80 years. After a letter to the editor was sent to a western paper the children of Rob- ert's son Jim saw the letter and were ectatic to find the rest of their The Denfield Report The market at Denfield Livestock traded fully steady to higher pric- es on a very active demand.

In fact they were so ea- ger to meet the eastern relatives that Ronald Lamont of B.C., Keith and Lois Lamont Murray and Jean Lamont Peter flew down to attend the reunion. Now only one family remains of whom there are no known descen- dants. Special thanks goes to Margaret Elliott, Margorie Pfaff of St. Marys and William and Allen Braun and Barbara Braun Postian, (Forest and London), Barbara Talbot of Lon- don, John McConnell of Toronto, Jim Argo of Ottawa and Bill and Shirley Elliott of Manitoulin Island for their help in completing the his- tory of the family. Relatives attended from the west and many places in Ontario. Also Ruth and Peter Campbell (descen- dants of Jein Campbell's brother) came over from Michigan. It was an unforgettable but very short day. Huron County 4-H events CLINTON - An exciting evening of competition involving 10 teams was held August 21 at Clinton.

The winners at that com- petition will compete at the Provin- cial Go For The Gold at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto on November 2,1 996. Battery blitz Huron County's third annual 4-1I Battery Blitz was very successful. Approximately 1,300 batteries were sent to for recycling. It ap- pears the condition of the batteries is improving! This is helping to give Huron County a safer environ- ment and the 4-H program benefits as well. The committee would like to thank all who brought in batter- ies, all the dealers who allowed batteries to collect at their sites, and thank you to the volunteers who helped move and load the bat- teries. Look for our Battery Blitz again in 1997.
