Palmer and friend called on 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-.
