sisters of the Pollock family, whose

in her 89th year, the one surviving
daughter in the original family, was
present. -• Mrs. Erma Nichols, San
Francisco, .Calif., who is on a visit to
Ontario, was the only representative
of the Fairbairn family.

ization . was formed with George M.
Richardson, St. Thomas, President;

TUCKERSMITH OF
MANY YEARS AG
This .may be of some interest to
many'Tuokersmith readers, at least
some of the older people, However,
it gives old and young an idea of the
laying of the foundation. i have
many pictures': of Tuekersmith
homes, Seaforth and many other
places which I would be glad -to show
to you. That is as of 1870. Tucker-:
smith Township is the smallest town
ship of the sixteen ' townships in Hui-
on
uion CC'ounty. Containing 40,800 acres,
it is likewise the most thickly
settled. Here we might mention
•Tuekersmith was originally spelled
Tucker -Smith, named after a Mr.
Tucker -Smith. . The township pre-
sents a beautiful productive soil,
having over 81,000 acres under cul-
tivation; the assessed value of real
estate $1,948,085; personal prop-
erty $118,500. The population as set
down in 1871, 8699; the number of
animals: 3946 cattle, 3532 sheep,
1160 pigs and 1491 horses, all of
course below the' real figures. Finan-
cially, Tuckersmith is undoubtedly
in the best shape, in the county. The
present condition makes •a wonder-
ful contrast -1836-1870. The first
school was ibuilt by Robt. Bell of the
London Road Survey in 1840, which
they found very 'hard to build. The
township, however, had some of the
attributes of civilization before they
ever had a school, ars we find a mill
was erected in Egmondville by the
Canada Company in 1833. The Eg-
mondville mill gave name to the road
running from Brucefield to Egmond-
ville which was known as the Mill
Road, and still is known by that
name. ,Sometimes the water gave out
and it was a quite common thing for
settlers to go to London to the mill
and carrying a sack of wheat on an
ox's back, returning '-the same daY
with the Hour—try it some time! The
Exit sermon was preached in Tuck-
ersmith in a shanty on the London
Road, by a minister by the name of
Whitehead. He had three in his con-
gregation; Neil Ross, James Camp-
bell, Angus 'Campbell—we wonder
who took up the collection, Rev.
Whitehead was very tall, over 6 ft.,
and preached his sermon bent over,
as the shanty was too low.
The first white child born in the
township was Donald, eldest son of
Neil Ross. With • the exception of
Jane's' Lamb of Usborne, this was
the :first birth in the entire distance
from London Road. to -Goderich
Road—would not cost much for chil-
drens' allowances. Mention was
made of some of the early settlers
being obliged to go to London with
heir grist; sometimes, however,
hose who came in 1831 went all the
way to Port Stanley on Lake Erie
with their sack of wheat packed on
he back of an ox. Later a William
Jewitt of Goderich Township
brought in a hand mill which reliev-
d the ox journey somewhat.;A Mr.
Biscoby, settled on the Huron Road;
brought ,in the first horses to the
township and would go around to
the farmers and collect their grist
and deliver it'to the mill, mostly
going to Stratford where a' mill was
built. Sometimes much trouble arose
from wild animals. In one instance a
Mr. Ross walked to Goderieh carry-
ing 100 lbs. of pork. He was all
night trudging through the forest.
Arriving home at daylbreak he found
a wolf attacking his only ,.cow and
calf. The wolf, intent on securing its
prey, did not notice the intruder
until an axe was sunk in its skull.
We have seen that as late as 1835
there were very few settlers but
decided to form a council. The offi-
cers for the year: John ‘Colquhoun,
clerk; Pete Vanderburg, Dick Lowe,
assessors; Wm. Chalk, M.D,, collec-
tor; Henry' Ransford, Jonathan
'Wade, overseers of highways; Wm.
Fowler,,poundkeeper; Sam Carnoc'h-
an and John Hanna, wardens. Then
followed the By-laws.
And now, although we have not
done half the justice to the history
of - this splendid township we have 1
already extended the space through
the kindness of The Seaforth News
and are constrained thus to leave it.
