brothers who built the mills
which first started attracting
people from miles around.
Bluevale also was the site
of several stores and hotels,
a tannery, cheese and
cabinet factories, a school
and several churches.
Belmore, Glenannan, Glen
Farrow, Morrisbank and
Zetland also were centres of
commerce in early years,
but all, - save Belmore, are
really little more than a
memory today.
MODERN TIMES
Modern-day Turnberry
has little in common with
that township of long ago.
This year a total of $167,161
in takes are to collected for
township purposes. Turn -
berry's 1984 population, to
date, is 1,470 and is derived
from 532 households.
Turnberry still may be the
smallest township in the
county, but its operations are
totally up-to-date, offering
residents a wide variety of
services.
In recent years, several
very prosperous business
have chosen to locate in
Turnberry and among them
are Royal Homes Ltd.,
Brookhaven Nursing Home,
the Co -Op and most recently,
Bavarian Deli Packers But
the main industry of the
township remains agricul-
ture.
Its council is headed by
Reeve Brian McBurney.
Doug Fortune is the deputy
reeve, while the councillors
are- Joan --Wright (the -first
woman elected to /rurnberry
council), Donald Morrison
and Randy Scott.
Township employees are
Dorothy Kelly, clerk -
treasurer, Ross Nicholson,
road and drainage
superintendent and roadmen
George Gallaway and Len
Baird.
Council has embarked
upon a five-year plan of
road, bridge and drainage
improvements which
members hope will contine
the high standards witnessed
in the 1879 atlas:
"The great railway
facilities, superior high-
ways, and exceptionally fine
water -privileges which
Turnberry possesses are
among the many adjuncts of
its present material
resources which have
heretofore contributed so
surely to its healthy
development and still con-
tinue it in possession of
advantages second to none in
the county."
