First Van Egmond Was
Builder of Famous
Huron Road.
In Egg:mand ille, south and adjoin-
ing the larger town of Seaforth, is
situated' a lovely house among the
trees, over 90 years old, says Nerissa
Archer. McInnes, in the Free Presse
recently. In this house lives • Earl
Van Egmond and his mother. Though
andicapped by a lameness through
injury, Mr. Van Egmond engages in
the art of remodelling and refinishing
antique furniture, x
Mr. Van Egmond is' the fourth gen-
eration descended froom the famous
Col. Anthony Van Egmond, builder of
the Huron Road and the first settler
intheHuron on T ra
ct.
Ool. Anthony Van Egmond was line -
:ally descended from the Count Eg-
mond, who figui+ed do•1-spicuously in
the "History of the Fall of the Dutch
Republic." Van Egm'oncl was born in
Holland at the close of the 1Sth cen-
tury.
At the battle of Waterloo Van Eg-
mond was severely wounded and af-
ter his recovery he migrated- to Am-
erica and resided in Pennsylvania fol• •
eight years. He then came to Can-
ada and found his way to the Huron
Tract where he engaged in bulding
th-e famlous Huron Road.
At first the, road was a mere sleigh
track, twelve feet wide, through solid
bush and the work was done by mule
teams and a gang of men who mov-
ed their camps• along as the road pro-
gressed. At the same time the road
was "being built three inns were er-
ected and Dutch i mi
m grants, H'elmar,-
Fryfogle and Seebach, were made
hosts and the Canada Company gave
them a bonus .of 40. 50 and g0. pounds,
respectively; •to keep these inns open
for travellers. '
Cal. Van Eg n•on'd made his own
-home farther west on the Huron Road
near wihat is new Alma Corners, half
way between Seaforth and Clinton,
Thi
r
This home was always. open .to trate
.' llers. Van Egmond' was -•a friend of
the settler. .
After -the Toad was built Van Eg-
mond operated a horse drawn trans-
port • system between . Toronto and
.Goder'ich. So thrifty wa.$ he that
foreseeing :a rush of immigrants he
laid in a stock of 500 'barrels of flour.
Van Egmond - was a tall, soldierly
loiokin.g man. He always wore a
close fitting cap and the°, legend is
that his ears were cut off.
At the same lime- that Col. Van
Egmond built' the inn on the Huron
Road he also built a few, miles south
and east where the Van Egmond
home is today, in order to get the
;•ower from the Bayfield river to
drive his mills.. His first frame house
stood + 'in fron of
t wh 'where e the present
brick home -stands. -
• Col. Van Egmond joined with Mac-
kenzie and latter was taken prisoner,
While ,awaiting trial ,he died, He was
buried across the,, road from the
farm now occupied by Herbert Fowler.
on the "Huron Road, hall -way between
Clinton and Seaforth, but his body
was' afterwards removed to the Eg-
mondville cemetery, Madame Van
Emend lived long enough to* -occupy
:t'be present 90-yeartold house. •
Col. Van Egmuond had five &ons and
three daughters. ' The sons were
Constant. Edward, Leopold, August
and William; the daughters, Mrs.
Helmer, in Waterloo county; Mrs.
Thwaites. of, Clinton, and Mrs. Thos.
Goeenlock, of McKillop, Their fam-
ilies have • nearly all passed on. so•
• that ft is none the fourth .generation
that .is living: Thsnly surviving
ones of the third,generation are Miss
Susie-. Govenlock, 'of Seaforth, and'
GeorgVan Egmond," of Cleveland,
Ohio. ,
