Prop Richmond Hill MAPLE ONT MAPLE We now come to lot 47, comprising the centre of our village, on the east. and the Sisley fermmnce owned by Col.S.Wil-not, whose possession dates back to the begin- ning of the century. Lilm many others who settled in Richmond Hill and vicin- lty, he had done duty in the war of 1776, and as a U. E. Loyalist came to Canada among its first settlers. As Col. \Vllmot,‘s name tines not appear in "Doomsday Book” we may suppose that he acquired the farm by purchase. He marriei Mary, the daughter of Mr. John Stogman, the Surveyor. grand father of Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. O’Brien| of our village. After Stegman lost his life in the ill-fated steamer, "Speedy." Wilmot obtained his position as vaincial Surveyor. lo the Gazette and Oracle, the first paper pub- lished in York, in sine 15 in. by 9% in.. was the following:â€" York, April 25th, 1805, That it may be known who are author- ized to anrvey lands on the pan, of the Crown, within the Province, the fulluw- mg lint is Cummnuicated to the public. Signed, B. Wyatt, Surv‘eygr Gengrg} In this list. is the name of Samuel S. Wihnot. Wilm. t surveyed a large part of Whitchurch, after Surveyor Ste-gunnn had completed the laying out in 1802.and pants of Vaughan and Markham. In his day them was in York (Toronto) what was called the “Put-k,” near Castle Frank on the Don. A pnl'tiott of this was sur- veyed by Wilmot into 80 lots, by order of His Excellency. Gov. Gore, and called the "Reserve for Government Buildings." valued by him at a rental of from one dollar to twenty, now worth much more than that a. foot. This survey was made in 1811. His company of assistants con- ststed of forty or fifty Indians pruvtdud by the Government who acted as guides, porters and chatn bearers. With these Wilmut would be away from home many weeks in succession. On their return the [Indians Would camp around the village, and spend the interval and their money In drinking and carousing. We can fancy the inter: at the “small boy" of our village wuuld take in their nmvements if that number of Indians were now to loiter around our village for a few days, with their painted faces and feather-decorated heads, Varying the monotony by an oc~ casional whoop or a piercing yell. Our boys in those days were quite familiar with the sight of Indians, for every year they came in droves from their villages on the shores of the northern lakes along the now straightened Indian trail to the Indian Department at Toronto for their supply of presents, blankets,ammunition, &c., from the Government,and the ‘Hlll’ was a stopping place for many families en route. Richmond Hill and Vicinity To the Edimr of Tm: LIBERAL Cul. Wilmot’s house was of the usual log architecture. and stood just behind Mr Jordan’s village lut, in the middle of what was then a swamp. Along the from. the lots were rapidly taken up and cuver’ ed with frame houses. Most of these weie swept away by fire. and have been succeeded by substantial brick buildings, to which have been added the Masonic Hall in 1870, and the Methodist Church in 1880, making it one of the most. valu- able fronts in the village. In "$30 the land now owned by Messrs. Sivers and Mason was laid out in anurse ry by a couple of enterprising Americans, named Hubbard and Adams, superin- tended by another of our early Settlers, Nicholas J ohnson,who came here in 1824. From this nursery were transplanted many of those ancient looking apple trees here and therein the village. On the Mason lot, deeded to the trustees by Mr. Robert Campbell, was built the first Methodist Church, the foundation being laid in 1842, and the superstructure fin- ished in 1847. The architect and builder was the late Mr. Thomas Harris. It was dedicated by the Rev. Anson Green,then in the hught of his popularity. In its , pulpit have stood the most prominent ministers in the Methodist Conference, among whom are the Ryersons, Punshon, Gervuse, Smith. Jefl'ers. Wilkinson, Spenser, Potts, Enoch Wood BHd thfl Tuylors. The church was burned on Sunday, Dec. 2lst, 1879. The last serm- on preached in it was by the Rev. W. McCallum, who remarked in the course of his address on the accidents of life, that none knew how soon fire may over take them. As the fire broke out as soon as the congregation was dismissed, it must have been burning within a dozen 1 feet behind him when he made the re- . mark. The old church was sacred in the hearts of many because of tender memories and old associations. Within its walls many of our villagers have been baptized and many utliera united in wedlock. From its old fashioned pulpit many had receiV- ed their first religious impressions nnd to the majnrily of the members it had been their spiritual birthplace. Before its amu- had rested the remains of many a I‘ol. \Vllmol. The Wilmnts purchased a Shaw lot, the present vacant one south of the ‘Central.’ nDened out the first store, and were the victims of the first the in Richmond Hill. The house was rebuilt, and again consum- ed. Here uriginated the British Flag Stafl', afterwards transplanted to the front of Mr. Mmulie‘n, where. for a. quarter of a century. it has stood the battle and the breeze. Col. Wilmut surveyed the town- ship of Clark‘secured for himself a thnus. and acrea of land near what is now New Castle and went there to reside.

Isolation of the gospel had been convqod to many a stricken family. Along with the church went a. noble old willow.

Richman Hill’s Civic Holiday on Friâ€" day last Was well spent. A small num- ber of the villagers went. to visit their friends in difl‘erent places, shine stayed at. home and Ulljuyed a quiet day. but the great. Inajuritv joined the Fire Brigade in their pic nic at. Bunu’s Lake. At. about 11 a. m. people began to arrive at the lire-hall with well-tilled baskets when it, was plulllly (n be seen that. provisionsv- quite indispensable at such a timeâ€"' Would be in abundance. Teams, which had been vulnutarily supplied, began to arrive smm Mfté’l’ the baskets, but it was abuut lllmll before the procession, headed by the Brigade Band,began to move lake- wand. Sume 8 ul' 9 vans and busses were well Inadin and all enjoyed a pleasant. driVe. The trip being nmde the next move was for dinner which the waiter committee gut ready in good style, and which was much enjoyed after the _drive. Then came games of difi'erent kinds, foot-lacing &c. All of Mr. Bell‘s boats were engaged, and during the entire afternoon they were occupied by eager little groups. Thanks to the boat cum- mitiee the privilege of a tide around the lake was extended to all. The pic-nic would huvelacked completeness had it not been for the band, which kept the crowd in good humor by their choice music. The pic-nickersleit the lake a.- bont dusk for their homeward trip feel- ing much better afier the day’s enjoy- Iuent.

Harvest has come and gone: some who were them alive, now sleep in the silent tomb; some who were sick then, are sick yet. and come who were well then are sick now. One less, who was then enjoying single- blessedneas, is now at the end of her troubles, but which end it is, I know not, but she will find. There are several residences being built.

Falls last Wednesday (Civic Hand-43); it was I success. Dr. Jug’s caravan struck our village a short. time ago. The troupe snug songs, d:c., and the manager told a few stalo yarns, which were not much appreciated, but he found sume with mouth, ears, and eyes wide open to catch them. It is a strange village that has not some too! to elliny {silly yarn. On Monday our schools were opened. Some supposed there would be a. change in one room, as the teacher took to hen self a. husband; but it is generally under- stood that she intends to remain a while longer, while her husband. dearly belov- ed, will go back to Uncle Sam’s domains and abide the time when his dear one can come unto him.

From our own Correspondent; The Aurora High School opened on Monday with an attendance of our thirty, and more expected in a. short time. The promoters of this school are jubilant over their success in establishing in here, and we hope they may have no cause to regret having worked so faltlv fully to accomplish their ends. The pub- lic schools also opened on the same day. Considerable nicknesn has prevailed in our town for the last “70 months, but no disease of an infectious natureâ€"summer complaints mosuy.
