missing dishes of headford by jxhilse blatknian boyd headford isnt marked on any ontario maps any more its boardandbauen school house is no longer used the only re maining survivor of past glories is headford united church a proud sentinel atop a hill the eightythree year old build ing looking very much as it did fourcoie years ago when it then boasted a tall steeple this octagonal steeple was struck by lightning in 1914 and finished up its days as a mangled heap on the church property many of the old times recall the incident of the steeple and how the mem bers decided to leave future steeples oif the church tower this was done and no one has given the matter second thoughts since but to this day the story of the missing dishes will arouse much more enthusi astic comments it was autumn of 18s8 and the parishioners of headford episcopal methodist church near richmond hill ontario agreed to have a supper and concert to raise money the church fi nances were like those of most struggling congregations not in the best of shape and this supper and concert in the fall was a known way to draw folk from near and far such doings were rated very high on the list of social events when canada was a young country markliam township where headford was located was being settled in by new famiilies all the time and all families wore large and growing the original i old church at headford had to be replaced by a larger edifice in 1882 the same church that stands today there was a fence erected around the church and cemetery and there was a bell for the church purchased from toronto the moneys for these projects were raised by popular subscription in 18s5 three years after the erection of the new church building the minutes book of the church shows an entry in dicating the ladies aid society had purchased a set of dishes and had borrowed ten dollars toward this payment a case for the dishes was also pur chased at that time for fifty- cents the balance owing on trie china was then just 363 at that same 1885 meeting the board of trustees decided that a good source of income would be the rental of church pews and so the system of renting a pew for s200 annually was in stituted and continued for two decades the parsonage was sold so that more proceeds would be available to help pay the patient builder of the church who was still awaiting settlement and so we know that the fall supper of 1888 sponsored by the young wom ens group the dairy maids was in fact the first fund- raising scheme embarked upon by the members of the new church by that time the out standing s363 for the dishes was wiped oft the books and this was the public debut for this china huge quantities of beef were prepared in the parishioners kitchens and brought along to the church basement where the supper was held the mountains of mashed potatoes and garden vegetables attested to the good state of farming in markham township and of course the variety of homemade fruit pies and applesauce boasted of the culinary mastery of the local wives homemade relish was placed in saucers scattered here and there on thelong harvest tables it must have been a most luring aroma that met the nostrils of those who parked their carts in the driving shed to the north of the church there were man vehicles that night and many horses tied to the ringed posts in the yard the local residents had so much of their own cooking to bring along with their large serving platters and utensils the guests came from villages as far as uxbridge a very 1ong twentysix miles away over un- paved roads the supper was quite a suc cess everyone involved was de lighted their do had been a drawing card to visitors from such distances dinner over everyone migrated up to the main church for the concert there was the usual number of singers there were recitations there was the display of musici anship by one or two locals end a solo on the lovely church or gan and the nice part was that the hostesses themselves were able to enjoy all this because it had been arranged they would return to the church basement next morning to wash up the load of dirty dishes and to claim again what was theirs the travellers departed and the local residents went each un to his own way home next morning most of the ladies and many of their men folk gathered in the church basement to learn the electrify ing news with the exception of one cup and two saucers with relish still on them every plate cup and saucer had been stolen from the church some time dur ing the night who how the pattern on these dishes was bright and distinctive they are of ironstone quality no doubt from england the col ours on those two remaining saucers have stayed bright the moeca brown the chartreuse the hunter green and the purp- plyblue vet for all this distinc- j tion of design and colour and further considering how very many persons must have looked at that pattern it is surprising that not one word was ever heard again of the whereabouts of this set of dishes not even a broken piece has turned up in seventysix years today there are only a very few oldsters who were tiny tads attending that fundraising sup per and concert back in s8 posthumoursly all ancestors and old friends are forgiven can anyone help locate any other survivors of the headford church jongmissing set of dishes soil deficiency shows in growing
