(Continued from last week) A town plot, Kempenfeldt, was .laid out in 1914 at the east end of the present Barrie, and a road run from there to Penetang. Lots were .laid out for future settlers. Siri George Head was placed in charge] of the Kempenfeldt end of the portage and lived in a log house! just above the present C.N.R. sta-` tion. Soldiers were sent through and as smallpox .broke out a clear-I mackinac in Lake Huron, in 1814,` and as smallpox bbroke out a clear- ing was made at Sandy Cove on the Innisl shore for the si.:k men. The remains of the huts were there in 1815, where the oicers had theii quarters. Goldie Fleming. of To| ronto, has his summer cottage on the exact. spot. David Soules, of Big Bay Point, the rst settler in that neighborhood, helped to widen the portage for the soldiers, using his ox team. His log; house stood on the east half of lot 26, conces- sion 14, Vespra, where a frame cot- tage now stands facing the road.| At the corner of the c1'o. on, the next lot the saw-pit niay still be] found. \\'h0l`C the eziriier logs were [)I C[):1l`O(1. .... .7. 1 u .1 Money to loan at lowest rates of in- terent.

Barrie became the distributing point for the "back settlements, and when the 1832 in- flux came the Government built a great log house near the present station for their goods. Log cabins were also built along what is now the south side of Dunlop St. The Penetang Road was soon settled on on both sides.
