Historical Sketch of Seagrave (written by J. H. Brown for the Seagrave column) (Continued from last week) * Daring. the building of the railroad, the ground that the grain storchouse} and. station stands on was not any better thai a boghole, There is a spring about one hundred rods north of the station that took thousands of feet of logs and timber and several carloads of stone to make it solid enough for the roadbed. Some of the carly mail caFriers 'from the station were: lra Johnston, better known as Stub Johnston;Jas. © Bond, Wm. McCoy, Thos. Flannery, "Richard Reynolds, Sam. Moon. "this tory would not be complete without bringing Mr. Robert Thomp- son into the scene, Mr. Thompson's first venture at storeKeeping was in a small frame building where the pre- sent store stands. He fitted up a room on the ground floor about 10 x 12, and used the upper floor for living "apartment. From that small begin- "ning he built up through thrift and honesty and good salesmanship, one "of the best General Stores in that -part of the country. en Lr Later he built 'the present stot. He and his wife are now enjoying a © rest, living in Whitby. | Tintbering } In the days of the early pioneers all of the last south of the first con- cession of Mariposa and west of King's Bay was part of Cartwkightl; Township and was heavily covered "with white pine. On the road into Fish. Point, that is concession A, Mr. Aaron Tanner had a farm lot which - he and his sons took off the pine. Then all th& pine 'east and south of Tan- ner's was taken off by, Paxton Bros. and' put into the lake or river and rafted down to Port Perry to be manufactured into square timber and lumber. Mr. W,<L. King was camp boss for Paxton Bros. ., and a good boss he made. Mr. King later got the farm now owned by Thomas Druean, where he lived for many years _ __ The Moon farm, the Ottis, thro and the Sleep farm including. the Joseph Orchard farm down to 'the "fhouth of the Nonquon river were all Heavily timbered with pine. Those were the days of pine knot and - tallow candles for light, with whiskey retailing at 25c. a gallon. The - days of wild pigeons which gathered in the fall in flocks of thousands. C1 think in those days the average . man was stronger than the men of to-day, because they spent their life time in the lumber woods. Great axe- men, great sawyers and hewers of. 'square timber}: (if you let them tell it.) It is told, that one man <hopped,' . split and piled five cords of cordwood in one day. Two others are said to have sawed twenty cords of stove wood in one day. Those feats were always told in the harvest 'time and in the winter the theme was'cradling grain and binding sheaves. It is told by Mr. Elijah Tanner that he eradled a ten acre field of fall wheat in. one "day. Jim Carr said he coilld not do it. So they put up the magnificant sum of five dollars, and Elijah' went out and repeated it in another field the sane size. Those were the days of the jumper, . the ox-team, the logging bees and the wolves, along with pine knots, tallow candles and open fireplace, Then came the kerosete lamp, but no Sjimuey; just a couple of candle wicks and covered carriages. 'heavy loads for fifty years. Phone 5 Port Perry. Children's Hair Cutting, a Specialty, * Mulligan's Beauty Shoppe Y ©" running up through the neck of the lamp bowl. There was quite a bit of smoke. but. still it was an improve- ment on the candle. Then came the "| coal "oil lamp with the flat wick and chimney. And this lamp still remains in most of the farm homes after fifty years. Some of the farm home now have electricity. Heating "and Baking . The carly<heating was by the open fireplace 3% one side' of the room. The kettles were swung from a. swinging crane over the fire for cooking pur- poses. The bread; very often, was baked .in a flat iron.pot with a cover, and placed down in the hot ashes and covered with live coals. The ladies often took this bake kettle (as they 'called it) out to log heaps just burned and plate the kettle in the hot coals and ashes, and. the bread baked beautifully, = = - : ~ One plan to keep a fire. in the fire place was to have a large hardwood log placed at' the back which would hold the fire for considerable time, If the fire went out they very often had to go to a neighbour tg get some live coals. The log was very often got into place by hauling it to the door and fastening a chain around iv, and put a chain through a hole in the back of fire place and hitch the ox- team on and draw it into place. course this was not done in all cases. The Beast of Burden In those early days the beast of} burden was the ox, and a good servant he was. He could stand the rough life better than the horse. A farmer was considered fairly well .to do, when he was able to do his farm work with horses. The horses*were much more speedy than the ox. The two-wheeled cart came first, then the wagon. The long pleasure sleigh was used in the winter, and very often was well loaded when the community had a dance. There" were no buggies or cutters in the early-days. First came the two-wheeled gig cart. Some of thém hung on heavy straps instead of springs. These were used mostly by doctors and ministers. It was won- derful how the driver kept to his seat as the vehicle had a swinging motion| © and well ag jumping up and down over the corduroy roads. Then came the two seated demoerat, heavy and strong, built for long life. Just a little softer than a wagon. "Then came the buggy as the roads improved, and later the covered buggy These were the -heightiof luxury. Along with the buggy came the light cutter. And 'ow we havé the automobile, Some of those heavy democrats stood up against the bad roads and That beats the auto. Before we draw this pioneer history to a close, we must say a word of commendation in the interest of 'the ladies of the middle of the last cen- tury. Every one of those mentioned here were the real founders of the present church,, along with their de- voted husbands--Murs. William Brown and Mrs. Christopher Graham would not miss_their church service even if they had to walk eight or ten miles. Mrs. Samuel Sleep and Mrs. Fred Ottis, devoted members of the Metho- dist church, were also real pillars of that institution. Othdrs were Mrs. Thompson, Sr, "and Mrs. Arthur Miller, who took the responsibility of leaders in the singing and were won- derful supporters in the Sunday School. Mr. Robt. Thompson held the responsible position of superintendent of the Sunday School for many years, Mr. Editor, I trust that I have made this pioneer history of Seagrave and community, "interesting 'reading for those interested in pioneer life of The Peoples' Meat Market We sell everything you want in choice, clean, ~~ palatable, nutritious and satisfying meats.
