Dear Friend George: I have been readmng and enjay- ing the incidents and pen pic- tures by farmer Enxiiskiiien re- sidents, and having missed corne numbers, arn wandcring if any- one has spaken af the minietere and their familles, as far bmclc as I cmxi remember, wha accupied the little parsanage, later awned by the late Henry Rogers, and fal- iowing that, the ones who resided in the large parsonage, now the home af Mrs. Thos. McGill. My first recollection was of the Finn famiiy, which cansisted of 10 or 12 children and their par- ents, living ini the small parsan- age. A young minister, wonder- ingly asked, where tlxey put thera ail at night, and Luida, an older dmughter, said, "wc get them asieep, then hang them Up on pegs." 1, believe corne af the fam- ily are li Manitoba and Alberta taday. Then stili a very young child, I remember Rev. Geo. Stephenson anid family, anid Rev. Samuel Saltan. Later I think came the Tayiors anid three naines stand out, Frank, Abbie axid Hattie. Possibly before same of these were the Larges and Howards. Later when Hampton anid En- niskillen becamne a double circuit we had Rev. Rabert Saxiderson (1889-91) at Enniskiilen, and Rev. Robert McCullough at Hampton, co-pgstors. After they were div- ided, with Enniskillen, Enfield and Mt. Vernon comprising oneJ circuit, we hmd Rev. D. Scott1 Houck and Rev. Samuel Rorke-1 the latter giving a lavely young daughter, Luella, (now home on furiough) as a missianary to Japan.1 Later came Rev. Siman Cruick-1 shank around 1900-1903-, whose 1 eldest daughter, Eva, a teacher,' marrîed Byron McLaughlin,an died, ieaving three childrEn I believe Rev. Rabson followed and he, I believe, was succceded by either Rev. Thos. Snowden, or Rev. J. A. Jewell-two of whose family, Mrs. Daisy Cruickshank, and Dr. Rocs Jewell, reside in Toronto, and Mrs. Chas. Tanner at Lmkefield. Then came Rev. Ernest Haney, a young mani, with thelr baby boy -Melville. Their ather son will be ordained next yemr, and le giv- ing full tlxne this year with the Oxford Group. Then came Rev. Harry Wilkin- son, aIea a very carnest young pastor, with their firt ' baby, Vernablle-naw a teacher. Af ter a very consecrated ministry, death called hlm in March of this year, while stationed at Bridgeworth. The writer, several weeks mgo, had the great joy of being visited by Mrs. Wilkinson, so brave in her bereavement, mnd Rev. and Mrs. E. Honey. In 1919 while Rev. H. Wilkinson was stili pastor, my husband, Frederick W. Lee, died. I sold our store business and home and left the village, fter living there from 1901. From that date I ar n ot so certain of the names of the pas- tors, nor the date when the lovely new parsonage, a gift of Mr. Geo. W. McLaughlin, Oshawa, was built.
