Paper given on
Early History
of Wroxeter
WROXETER — The Huron
Historical Society met in the
Wroxeter Town Hall on Monday,
May 30 with president David Mc -
Lure of Crediton in the chair. At
the short business meeting, the
new president, Harry Worsell of
Goderich was installed for 77-78.
This was followed by a very in-
teresting program.
The Music of Art and Eleanor
Gibson, the Don Messer tunes,
was a highlight and enjoyed by
everyone.
A very interesting and in-
formative paper on the Early
History of Wroxeter was pre-
pared and very capably given by
Mrs. George Gibson.
The village was founded by two
Gibson brothers who built the
sawmill and flour mill in 1856.
The land was purchased from
Hon. James Pattan, law partner
of Sir John A. Macdonald.
In 1874 the village was incor-
porated by a special .Act of
Parliament and in 1928 Wroxeter
formally voted away its identity
as an' incorporated village. The
purpose was to secure for the
residents hydro power at a rural
rate•
This was 4ollowed by a few
humorous anecdotes about grow-
ing up in Wroxeter by Mac Allan
who is the oldest native born resi-
dent.
A skit, given by Mrs. Mildred
Coupland, Mrs. Agnes Wright,
and Mrs. Lillian Gallaher gave
aninsight into the life of a senior
citizen.
A delicious lunch was served by
the Wroxeter Women's Institute
who were the hosts for the eve-
ning. Sixty-six people attended.
