Jacob Rea- man moved and took up residence in Thornhill where he lived his re. maining years. Warren â€" my father, took over the farm and has worked it ever since. Along with this 100 acres he rented an addit- ional 500 acres owned by Milnis for three years. Since that time he rents the 200 acres owned by Loretta Abbey, originally owned by Milfiis. Machinery has advan- ced by leap and bounds, until it is irreplacab e. This family consists of two girls â€" one helping on the farm and the other attending good old Richmond Hill District High School. The future of our farm is something we dare not think of. The city is coming so close that our landmarks will soon lose their meaning and become just another area of houses and lots.

Many of us can trace ancestors in this very district. fully worked the farm on the southâ€" west corner of Bathurst and Lang- stafl Sideroad too. However. in 1905. my grandfather, Jacob Rea- man and his wife. May Savage, the daughter of an Elgin Mills farmer, took over our present farm and the brother got the one on the south-west corner. The Jacob Rea- man famin consisted of three girls and a boy â€"â€" Warren. He rented the back eighty acres on the pres- ent Loretta Abbey farm. The barn on the Reaman farm was burned in 1930 and rebuilt the following year. Isabel Reaman â€" 10A In approximately 1800 a family by the name of Lyon bought Lot 36, Con. 1 and erected a saw mill, a dam, and a small settlement (Slabtown) for the workers at the saw mill. The remains of that original dam still exist on the banks of the Don River. There was also a time when a gravel pit was in use. It was from this pit that the gravel was obtained to build the original street car tracks on Yonge Street. Markham township alsohauled gravel from this pit for some time. There is little gravel left now, but the landmark still remains. The Don River was larger than at the present time and was used to float logs down to the saw mill. Some lumber was. of course, cut from the home land. The farm was purchased by’Rea- mans in 1887; in years preceding that date the saw mill had been destroyed by fire. Isaac Reamzm, my great-grandfather was the pur- chaser. He stumped the land and built a new set of buildings. He also served on council for several years. The implements used in those days were all horse drawn; even the threshing machine was run by horse power. He success- Beginning with this issue. the “Liberal” with an intro- duction by Mr. J. H. Jensen, will be featuring a series of out- standing history essays by Grade 10 students of the Rich- mond Hill District High School. In these essays the pupils have chosen for their topics the story of many local families, events, and landmarks associated with the growth and de- velopment of this area. . “A study of local history formed part of the Grade 10 course in Canadian history in the Rich- mond Hill District High School last year. The aim was to help the student realize that the history of our communiy is an intergra] part of the history of our country. The results were very gratifying. The students showed imagination and initiative in gath- ering information for their projects.” â€" J. H. Jensen, history teacher grade 10 SECONDARY SCHOOL NOTES FROM RICHMOND HILL DIST.

She also spent a day at Greenfield Village, which is a museum covering 250 acres, a memorial to the late Hen- ry Ford, with the Corunna Branch of the Women’s Institute. Only a year ago this very wagon returned to ~Bennsylvania where they celebrated the centennial in that state. It was taken by truck, but two horses drew it all the way home. On the Rainbow Bridge the mayors of Niagara N.Y., and Nia- gara Falls, Ont., met and conductâ€" ed a ceremony with the Conestoga the centre of attraction. It was the first time that anything had ever stopped‘the traffic on the Rainbow Bridge. l At Waterloo another celebration was held and again it was in honour of the Con- estoga. Parts of this excursion were televised and covered the front pages of local newspapers. The quaint 01d wagon again rests in the barn at the Baker farm- where it holds a ton of memories and many, many tales of oldyand new. A family by the name of Baker on Lot 11, Gen. 2, still possess an orig'nal Conestoga wagon. This wag n brought Mr. Baker's own ancestors from Pennsylvania to Maple where they still reside, It was in the very early eighteen hun- dreds when they battled with in- conveniences and obstacles to suc- cessfully explore the promising future which Canada held in store. The Conestoga wagon is of an in- teresting construction. It is ap- proximately ten feet long. The wheels are fastened to the frame with a linch pin instead of the present style. The box portion of the wagon was constructed so that they would serve to float across rivers every bit as successfully as they travelled the rugged roads. The springs were only two long boards, one on each side of the inside of the box, fastened at the front and back. The seats were fastened to this flexible board to resist the bumps. It must have been a picture to see 'the humble lives that hese people in their quaint bonn ts and flat back hats, hoop skirts and a few possessions they could manage to bring to con- quer the north, made.
