Lyon -Leer Families Among Oldest Settlers in this District • The Lyon -Lear Annual' Picnic was held at the home of Mr. Stanley Lyon on Saturday, June 24th when a very fine afternoon was enjoyed by; a11' those present. The Lyon Family and (the Lears are pioneer residents of this section of the County, and have established a large connection. The following history of the two families will be of interest to our readers: HISTORY OF THE LYON FAMILY. One hundred, and eleven years ago on the tenth day of January, Joseph Lyon was born in Linconshire, Eng- land. His early Hag was spent on a farm. At the age twenty-four he decided to come to Canada. Before coming he was married on March 17th, 1852, to Miss Mary Hewson, of Worlaby, in the . Anglican Church, Scotten, Lincolnshire. On the morn- ing of their wedding day they walked eleven miles from their homes to the church in which they were to be married. About three weeks after-' ward they sailed from Hull for Oan- ada. hundred acres now owned by Duncan McCallum. Here they built their first log house. The trees were so close to it ,that when one was to be felled Grandfather would warn his wife and she would put all her prec- ious ironstone dishes in the safest place possible. • At that time there were no roads but a blaze through the bush and their nearest and only store was at Clinton and at that time only one store and a few buildings were there. Grandma would walk a distance of ten miles with a basket of butter on one arm and a basket of eggs on the other which she would trade for only the necessary groceries etc., and walk back. Thumbing a ride had not been thought of in those days. On this farm seven more children were born. One boy, Charles, died in early boy- hood. The rest reaching manhood or womanhood. In 1870 they made a return trip to the old land. They left Clinton Aug- ust 31st, 7.30 a.m., arrived at Mont- real September 1st, 9.,p.m.. Left Montreal 10.30 p.m., reached Quebec September 2nd, 8 p.m. Started at 9.45 for Liverpool. The voyage over ' the ocean was made in a sailing vessel, which took over six weeks. They landed in Quer' bee on May twenty-fourth, coming on up to Hamilton by river boats, taking train from there to Guelph, where they settled and remained for three' years, engaging in farming. Mr. Lyon then came to Huron County and took up part of lot 26, concession 13, of the Township of Mullett. Here he hewed out a home from the virgin forest enduring many hardships common to pioneer life. For several summers he returned to the vicinity of Guelph for haying and harvest in order to earn money to keep them, making the trip both ways a distance of eighty miles on foot, until he had succeeded in clear- ing enough land to grow some crop. During the summer wide he was away be Left his young wife alone in the bush with small children, the nearest neighbours being about a quarter of a mile away through the bush. Mrs. Lyon frequently walked to Clinton, a distance of eight miles carrying her butter and eggs and returning with groceries. On ons occasion she made the trip both ways carrying an eight months child in her arms besides her basket of groceries. By sheer pluck and industry they succeeded in making for themselves and their children a comfortable home. Their family consisted of six sons and four daughters besides three children who died in infancy. The surviving members of the family are: William of Londeaboro, and (Mary) Mrs. Thomas Sampson, of Palmerston. All the family settled in Mullett Township except Ben., who went near Brandon, Manitoba, and (Sarah) Mrs. John Spindler of! Luclaaow. The eldest son, George, married Elizabeth Richardson; Jos- eph, married Elizabeth Lear; Harry, married Martha Lear; Thomas, mar- ried Susan Medd; Ben., married Eli- sabeth Jones; Will married Jennie G.

Tuckersmith ratepayers had their representation at the Legislative As- sembly in 1841 at no cost, nor were they taxed for the building of the gaol and court house, according to the record. However, they did have to pay a total of nearly £3 as their share of the erection of a hinatid asylum in Upper Canada The roll was certified by John B,. Askin, Clerk of the Peace. By 1842 the settlers had cleared are additional 620 acres and the number of families had increased to 95. There were 32 horses, 107 oxen, 186 milch. cows and 145 horned cattle.'
