The story is told in the Clinton Women's Institute History of Clinton and Surrounding Community 1950; .'When the Canada Company first com- menced to cut out the l,irndon road, they put up a shanty for their workmen on lot 26. Irl this shanty the first sermon was preached in 'l'uc•ker:smith by a Methodist Minister, a missionary, niirlied Whitehead. His con- gregation consisted of three persons, Neil Ross, Angus and James Campbell. Mr. Whitehead was an old roan and very tall and the shanty roof, being pretty low, obliged him to stoop considerable to deliver his discourse, after which he remained all night with his audience. This was long before the day of churches." The Zone Cl Honors and Awards Night was held at the Clinton Legion on June 15.
