at a a Once every five years! Dusome clan flocks to park for reunion It was one of those rare summer days last Saturday at Midland Little Lake Park when the people actually Outnumbered the sea gulls. The Occasion was the Dusome family reunion, an event that takes place every five years in town. Following afternoon mass al St. Margaret's Roman Catholic Church the Dusome clan con- verged at the park for a picnic and sports day. These reunions are the brainchild of William and Camilla (nee Jewit!) Murphy of Yonge Street West, Midland.

Guisseaume Family Signory of St. Ours 1697 The family name DusOme appears to have originated from the name Guisseaume (Guis(s)e(Aume). It is believed (by some) that they came from the town of Guise, in the department of Aisne, (Picardy, near St. Quentin) in France, which had a population of approximately 6,000. Claudia De Guise was believed to be the son-in- law of King Francis of France. Marie de Guise of the court of James V of Scotland was the mother of Mary Stuart. (Mary Queen of Scots) The first Dusome to come to this area was Francois who along with a brother, volunteered to take their father's place when he was called up for the army. They left Kingston in February, 1814 with a force led by Lt. Col. Rober! McDouall of the Glengary Light Infantry. The force consisted of 28 seamen, 11 artillary men, four field guns and two companies of the Royal Newfoundland _regi- ment. They journeyed up Lake Ontario to York, north on Yonge Street to Lake Simcoe and Holland Landing. They then crossed Lake Simcoe 1o Barrie, portaged to Willow Creek and stopped at Nottawasaga. While at Not- lawasaga, they con- structed 30 bateaux. In April, 1814 bateaux laden, they broke ice and reached Georgian Bay. It took them 19 days to cross the ice by Jeanne Webb The Scout and Brownie paper drives will be the first Saturday of each month except September and January. Pick-ups will be in the forenoon.
