So on we went over the sand -

meadow and along the open
ditch where. the frogs were all
happily singing their spring
chorus, the swedtest sound of
the year. The old bullfrog sat
on the bank and croaked, then
as we approached he sprang and
dived into the water with a

cession of East Wan ,anosh. Here
we gleet with another class of
!integrated folk: Irish, Scotch
and English -- the (ibbons,
Dow•s, McGees, Eeecrofts and
i Irwins. Next we come to the
crossroads called Calvin where
'stands two stately old churches,
Presbyterian and United. The
old Methodist brick church,
built in 1866. was the first plhce
of worship in East Wawanosh
and served as a community
church for sorer years until the.
Presbyterian adherents formed
a group and- built a chtrreh on
the opposite corner which be-
came known as Calvin Presby-
terian Church. The two churches
used to hold services every Sun-
dae, one in the morning and the
other in the afternoon. This
custom was carried on for more
than seventy "ears. Ecven at
the time of ehtlrch union in
1925 they failed to come to:'
nether. but in 1957 they finally
did unite and tnok the name
of Calvin Brick United Church.
Although there was a slight dif-
ference in the form of worship
of these two congregations there
neV r'wat any known strife be-
tween the two: they seemed to
work in harmony, one with an-
other, for the common good.
Many stories have been writ-
ten about faraway places. but
we Huronites can he iustly 'A

proud of our native land. Moms,
while .giving his last charge to
the Israelites before the* enter-
ed the Promised Land, said "The
land which ye shall go in to
possess is a land of hills and
valleys where _ ,ye shall drink
water", -=-Deuteronomy 11:11.
Huron County certainly is a
land of hills and valleys with
little- streams and rivulets flow-
ing through.
As I have previously stated,
a lot of the formal history of
Huron County is lost, but of
late I -have been gathering many
stories of the sturdy pioneer
settlers. Itere is one that should
be of interest: Mr. Andrew Me-
Orath eaYne to Howiek Township
