D. Bruce. A joint stock company was formed in 1905 with authorized capital of $40,- 000.00 and 1600 shares were sold at a par value of $25. The company proved a line investment for local citizens and continued to pay 6% interest for many years. It continued to prosper until in the 1950‘s, faced with tremendous capital expend- itures of the new dial system and rebuilding and extending of lines, the Bethesda S; Stout? ville Telephone Co. decided to sell the company to the Bell Telephone Co. The first switchboard installed in Stouffville'could only accommodate ten lines. Gradually a system was built up. The Great Northwestern Telegraph Co. decided to abandon its pole-line between Stoufl'ville and Markham and B. S. picked it up for a mere $100. Many of these poles served until the beginning of the second World War. . Public telephone service in Stoulfville and nearby rural areas has a history going back sixty-three years. In May 1904 the Bethesda Stouffville Telephone Co. began work on stringing lines and on August lst, the first phone was install- ed in David Heise’s house at Bethesda. The second was in A. B. Steckley‘s house and from that phone the first call was made. At this time of commencement the system had nineteen subscribers. Pictured abme IS the new Bell Telephone Co. building on West Lawn Cres.

The crown grant of 200 acres was given in March of 1804 to a Mary McIntyre who sold it the following year to Joseph Reesor. a Mennonite settler who came to this district from Pennsylvania. By 1817 a number of buildings had been built on this lot and Joseph R‘ccsor gave it the name of Reesorville. a name that remained {or some years.
