Personal collectionof recorded facts,
The book un »rovers the changes that have
been a part of the local rural community.
Life. in the lurid -1800's was charracteried by
battles with the untamed forests, building
Shelters, growing enough food to eat, getting
implements to farm and saving enough
money to pay for their land. This pioneer ex-
istence can be summed upwith the words
work, work and more work.
Research indicated the cooperative
nature of the people was quite visible in the
form of bees for barn and house raisings and
in clearing land. This tradition continued
through the decades to modern day. Silo fill-
ings, threshing gangs, beef rings and
ploughing bees all indicate the spirit of
working together. These gatherings helped
break the monotony of daily chores and the
feeling of isolation. Today the writers say
the bees support neighbours in need.
The land in Goderich Township was part
of a large parcel, the Huron Tract, that the
Canada Company sold. Their adver-
tisements proclaimed the advantages for
those who wished to become farmers of
their own land. This attracted many Irish,
Scottish and English immigrants who felt
life in Upper Canada would be much better
than the conditions they faced in their
homeland. Letters from newly settled
pioneers were found by one writer to exag-
gerate the conditions in the new land a way
of encouraging relatives and former
neighbours to join them in adjacent lots.
When the land records were studied it was
obvious that people who carne on the boats
together or had known one another did settle
in the same areas. Many residents today
who had come from the Netherlands have
their modern accounts of settling in a new
land depicted in the book.
The book is certainly dedicated to the
pioneers who helped shape the character of
the township as it is known today. People
who wish to order a copy, which costs 25
dollars, may do so on December 20 or by
phoning Bev Orr, 524-7032. Those unable to
pick up their books on that day should con-
tact Mrs. Orr or go to the Township Com-
munity Centre on Sunday, December 22
from 2:00 to 4:00.
