Not only was the original concept of such a village Elsa Neil‘s but she also collected many of the ar- tifacts and donated many from her own collection. A framed tribute notes “her dedication as a member of the Historical Sites Advisory Board“ and her “genuine love of Black Creek Pioneer Village”. At the Arbor Day ceremony Friday, at the headquarters of the _Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority south of the village, a tree was planted in Mrs. Neil‘s honor. ' In 1955, Mrs. Neil was asked by the Humber Valley Conservation Authority to plan the restoration of the Johannas Schmid log barn, built in 1809. She was also to arrange it as a farm museum‘ Her experience with early Canadian artifacts and architecture had been gained over many years, beginning in the 19305 when she and her husband built a log cabin summer-home on Georgian Bay. ,r vy‘uo ,,,,, v Later a resident of Thornhill for 14‘2 years, she also supervised the con- struction of the log house on a peninsula of land in the valley along John Street.

She dreamt of a complete village which would inspire visitors to be as “industrious and persevering“ as the ea'rly settlers. She hoped to spread her “heart-felt admiration for the Canadian settlers‘fi “I would like people to say ‘If these people did this much for Canada, what can I do,” Mrs. Neil said in an in terview last week. Now 78 years old, Mrs. Neil said she hopes to have the energy to carry out more ideas for improving the quality of displays at the village. 1,L4 A charming. articulate and sensitive person, she said her “mind is pounding like a‘ jack-hammer" with ideas for the village. Already at the village is a 43-inch wide board that would have been cut from a tree approximately 11 feet around and perhaps 200 feet high, she said. ,A u.‘ To convey to visitors at the village the enormity of such a tree, Mrs. Neil proposes a display with a huge drawn- to-scale illustration depic- ting the size of a man. a house and such a tree.
