The April meeting of the se-} nlor women's institute met at the lovely home of Mrs. Douge las Parsons, Unionville on Tuesday evening of last week, the theme being, “Historical Research". convened by Mrs. Harry Barber. Roll call was 1answered by, "A National Food from Another Country." Mrs. Harry Barber gave the? historical story of David and‘ Mary Thomson. In 1796 David Thomson and his wife Mary Giendenning Came from Wester- kirk, Dumfries. Scotland, to Scarboro Township. With their (our little children they wen- ded their way by ox-cart and Indian trail to found the Thomson settlement. which was later named Bendale, and is now the Scarboro Hospital area. Township. She became known as, “The Mother of Scarboro”. During the first seven months. she did not see another woman other than the Indian women, who befriended her, seem- ‘ ing to understand her 10- ‘ neliness. David Thomson took up Cr- own land and built a log house with a large fireplace for his family. He was a stone mason by trade and would be away all week working in “Muddy York" - Toronto. Seven more children were added to the family. Ten of them grew up, married, and settled locally. Helen, the you- ngest died young, unmarried. The original log house was replaced by a frame i house in 1815. The first ‘ church known as the church of Scotland, was built in 1831, on land do- nated by David Thomson. In 1849 it was replaced by a brick church, and ad- joining cemetery and was known as St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. and still stands. The Thomson Road to the millpond and water-driven sawmill was built in 1813. A school, a manse, and a library were added to the settlement. The Indian trail became a cor- duroy road and continued on inorth to Markham. David Thomson. born in 1760, died in Scarboro in 1834 and was buried in St. Andrew’s Cemetery, as was his wife Mary who passed away in 1847. It is most interesting to read her will written in 1844, where she distributed her wor. ldly goods among her large family, such articles as feather beds and pillows - the sugar kettle, the family Bible, the corner cupboard, chairs in two's, sheep in two's, the kit~ chen bed, with curtains to go with it - all articles which were scarce and the backâ€"bone of housekeeping in those days. Today there are hun- dreda of living descen- dants of David and Mar! Thomson. The family Mr. and Mrs. Harry Barber and their children represent the sixth and seventh generations from the cou- ple who redeemed Scar- boro Township from the wilderness. May the memory of their immortal courage inspire us in the difficult paths of life. Following this the election of officers took place. The list will be published later. The president, Mrs. H. Hill took charge of the business. Re- freshments were served at the close of the meeting.’ Mary (Glendenninz) Th- omson was the first white woman to live In Scarboro Township. She became known as, “The Mother of Scarboro”. During the first How MUCH YOU MAY SAVE ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE WITH] STATE FARM! Tin)“- VICTORIA SQUARE NEWS 130 Yonge St. S.
