The Huron Expositor, 1983-02-16, Page 511i END OF AN ERA—A Washington hand press that has served the Expositor since the earliest days in the 1860s has been moved to the Huron County museum in Goderich. The press, which has been in storage in the Expositor building for nearly 30 years, was dismantled and taken to Goderich by museum curator Ray Scotchmer and his staff. The press was manufactured by Alva B. Taylor in New York during the period 1842 to 1865 and was used in the production of the Expositor when publication first began. It has been located on the second floor of the Expositor building for more than 100 years, having been moved from an earlier Expositor location on John Street. Looking at the press as museum .staff began the move are former longtime Expositor employees Tom Haley (left), Leo Hagan and A.Y. McLean.

The Tavern was owned and oper- ated by Mr. and Mrs. Leo Barrett. In looking back in time in some historical re- ports, 1 found that Tom Crawford built the brick Huron Hotel, as it was called then, on the McKillop corner at the intersection in Dublin. This was the only hotel in use, which was not so in the early 1900s, as Dublin had 7 hotels and all did a flourish- ing business dispensing liquor at 50 cents a gallon. After Mr. Crawford, the owners were Jeremiah Fla- herty and Francis O'Brien, Hendley Cook, Joe Weber, John Hacknel and Louis Wolfe. For a time Pat Lunney and his sisters had it for a private home. Then again it was used as a hotel by Colonel Crawford, no relat- ion to Tom Crawford. Paul .Mulligan came next; then Donald R. Murray and-War- ren nd-War- ren K. Brown had it togeth- er, but later Mr, Brown owned it alone. Earl J. Ruby was next, Mrs. Dorothy Healy, Mancer Brown, Ken Kersey, Les Syler and Leo Barrett who was the present owner. It is quite hard to visualize that a century ago Dublin housed seven hotels and today there are none. Time and circumstances alters a great many things. Our population has gotten small- er and the number and variety of businesses fewer. Would you believe that back in late 1878 Dublin had a Catholic Church and an Anglican Church, a doctor and a dentist, a Separate School, Public School and a High School, Railroad Stat- ion, a Bank, Butcher Shop, 4 Grocery Stores, Telephone Company, Hardware, Furni- ' ture Store, a Creamery, Harness Shop, Blacksmith Shop, Feed Mill, Grist Mill, Dance Hall, Lumber Mill, Construction Company, Salt Works, a Milliner and Tailor, Veterinary, Shoe Shop, and Shoe Repair, Bake Shop, Post Office, Saw MW, Barber Shops, seven Hotels and Livery Stables, a Tile Yard, two cattle drovers and be- lieve it or not a newspaper called, "The Dublin Stan- dard". Before the fire in 1879 which distroyed half of the village, there was a pop- ulation of approximately 750. After the disaster the village lost many residents as people relocated elsewhere because their homes and businesses were lost in the fire. The Dublin Senior Citizens Card Party was held in the St. Patrick's School Gym on Thursday, 'I ebruary 11. There were nine tables of cards played and the winners were: -Mrs. Calista Nichol- son, Mr. Lorne Flanagan, Mrs. Mike McLaughlin, and Mr. Elmer Feeney. Their next card party will be in early March. The Dublin 4-H club began Feb. 3 and meetings are 'held at the home of Mary Lou Maloney. Officers are: pre- sident - Nancy Louwagie, vice president • Betty Ann Deloyer, secretary • Barbara Kramers, treasurer - Lori Kay Rowland, The girls began with the introduction to looking great, feeling great as their new project. The second meeting held Feb. 10 was a t ontinuation of this theme. The girls exer- cised and discussed a bal- anced diet, nutrition and a balanced energy intake and output.

The county's 1982 financial statement was presented at council's Feb. 10 session.
