Horses were as scarce at social` functions in Simcoe then as they are now, but the loneliness of _man s most noble friend was then due,-not to the lordly automobile. but to the lowly ox. The first marriage in the settlement was solemnized by Squire Ramsay,` the fortunate owner of the coffee mill, the contracting parties be- ing Henry Morris and Margaret Kidd. This union formed the foundation of a numer- ous family, and at one time the first Mor- ris owned a thousand acres which were af- terwards divided among his descendants. n... ..c .1... 1-4.. 1: nn Hm Qt}: which terwards GIVIGGG among 1118 uesccuuuuue.

Lotseven is that on which Henry Morris established a home of his own in 1828. the first shelter being a cabin such as furnished homes for other pioneers. The house dealt with in the opening paragraph of this story was built at a much later date. of brick made on the farm, and was probably the rst brick house in the Tp. of Essa. The old cabin on lot 14, con. .8, was the home of Thomas Morris, a son of Henry. and it. too. was long since succeeded by the brick residence in which A. W. Morris, of the` third generation. now lives, Purchased by a Great Price All about there are today well-tilled elds from which luxurious crops of hay are be- ing harvested or whereon wide elds of wheat are ripening for the gleaners. Ev- erywhere is evidence of peace -and abund- ance-a fruitful and undulating valley to which the nishing touch of beauty is given by the far-ung range of the Blue Moun- tains 'rising in; silent splendor seventeen miles to the westward. It "is, indeed, a goodly heritage, but it was purchased at a great price-how great; those of the present generation, even with the old log. cabin still in existence as an object lesson, cannot realize. When the first of the Morris fam- ily entered Essa. almost one hundred years . ago. practically all of Simcoe County was an unbroken forest.
