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.

WINS SCHOLARSHIP
Dr, Carl Aberhart, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Aberhart, Seaforth, and.
a fellow in surgery and clinical surg-
ery, has been awarded the Lister
prize in surgery jointly with par.
Jessie C. Gray, according to an an-
nouncement made this week by Presi-
dent H. J. Cody, of the University of
Toronto. The prize is awarded an-
nually to the candidate for the degree
of Master of Surgery who has ob•
tained the highest standing in the.
examinations for that degree. Dr
Aberhart is resident surgeon at the
Toronto General Hospital and is as-
sistant to Dr. W. E, Gallie, surgeon
in chief.
and lastly, how many distilleries.
In all Tuckersmith in 1841 there.
were but 1,041 acres of cleared land.
Oxen outnumbered horses 87 to 17.
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.' Business
was apparently on the increase, for
Van Egmond Bros. built a grist mill
and a sawmill, while the. Canada Co.
