Whenever a person starts to write a history of an institution such as a church in a community, one runs up against a great many difficulties. A great many of the people who had a hand in starting the church and of carrying on the work during the early years, have long since passed to their reward. Then again, records were not kept for historical purposes, and it 1s only by consulting some of the * old membership books and interview- ing some of the older members still with us. that we have any idea ot what went on during the past. } - One of the earliest records as far as membership is concerned is found in an old membership book, or as it was called in those days a class meet- ing book, the property of Little Britain circuit, It is dated 1890, Such names as Fred Shaver, Herb. Shaver, William Colwell, John Beecroft, Eph- raim Bolton, John Baker, Thomas King, Marshall Colwell, Frank King, Alfred King, Augustus Shaver, Leslie Shaver, Abraham Hoover, E. Foy and others are to be found in that record. "1 wish to give a little account ot the early settlement of Pleasgnt Point. 'Two prominent names among the earliest settlers are Smith and King, settling in 1834. Great hardships were endured during the years of the clear- ing of the land, The people at that time not only met the difficulties of clearing the land, but food was often very scarce. For a time guns and am- munition for hunting were scarce, but fortunately, Lake Scugog always yielded a plentiful supply of fish. There is a story existent that at one time food was so scarce that the peo- ple had to dig up the potatoes they -had planted to keep them from starv- ing, Many of us to-day-talk of hard- ships but we scarcely can conceive what it means when we think of peo- ple meeting such- hardships in this very community in one century of time. g Crd The cemetery which lies East and South of the Church is tauch older than the church, and is believed to have been "donated by 'the 'Hedge family. The story is told of Mr. Hedge how he surveyed for a canal which he intended to dig from-the lake to the driveway of the barn. The grain was to be shipped direct from his barn to outside points. "Of course, it never materialized. The cemetery was much bigger than it is at present, but owing to a dispute the western part was returned to the farm. , The width of two lots was given to the cemetery by the late Andrew Miller. Port Hoover had a Methodist. Epls- ~ copal Church, the minister coming from Taylor's Corners; also a ceme- "tery. When much of the business done ' | | | iy 8 » f BN | \[ 1% | » i' iY f a.

The bodies were exhumed and brought to Pleasant Point cemetery. Some of the bodies of the early pioneers buried on their farms were also brought to the cemetery.. There was a Bible Christian Church at Fingerboard on the north-east cor- ner. It was of wooden construction and it was set up on cedar posts. We do not know when it was-built or how long it was there; but we think that it was around 1884 it was dismantled as a church, and moved by. Mr. Bolton to the site now occupied by Mr. An- drew Nichols. Some of the families who attended that church were John ann, Thomas Moase, Henry Moase, . Foster, Robert Frise, Trick and Wilcox. Some of the ministers who ministered to the congregations were Revs, Butt, Glover and Whitlock. The people who attended this church at Fingerboard afterwards went to the new Pleasant Point Church, We should recall that the place got its name from a board cut in the shape of a hand and finger pointing towards the lake, It was about four feet long and painted red. It was fastened to n |; RESERVE MONDAY, AUG. : Watch your tabel; it tells whea your subscription expires, $1.50 per year in advance, { CH : i, tree on the south-west corner of the intersection. 3 The school of that time was a wood structure. It was 'nearer the corner very close to where the pump is at the present. This old school is recalled by two of the students of that time, and are present to-day, Mr. Duke King and Mrs. Will Rogers, The old school was moved across the road to the northwest and used in conjunction with the blacksmith shop as a wood- working shop and later it was moved to Port Perry. At one time there were two forges in the shop, and two blacksmiths were kept very busy, as business .was brisk, Besides the church, blacksmith shop, school ana shoemaking shop, there were some houses but we do not know the number, Of .course long before either Port Hoover or Fingerboard Churches were built, the people were ministered to by travelling preachers. ' There is the story told of very fine services being held in the barn of Reuben King by an old saddlebag preacher. Even before the present building at Pleasant «Point, the Methodist Episcopal wor- shipped in a maple bush on the north- west corner-of the Gilson farm during the summer and in the winter time at the home of Mr. Fleury, where Mr. Thomas Pennel now lives. In 1877 the M. Es under the leadership of Rev. Mr, Egan, of Seagrave, began the con- struction of the church. Mr. Reuben King and George Hoover canvassed the neighbourhood and received the promises 'and contributions' of the people to the building of the chyrch. The carpenter who was in charge of the work was Mr. Hiram Brown, father of Hiram Brown, Oakwood. The bricks were drawn from Fox's brickyard, Lindsay, on sleighs. The men of the community gave their time and work for the building of the Church. Mr, George Pearce, Manilla; helped in the brick work. The Church was built and finished by September 1877. As far as we know, there have been no renovations of an extensive nature during the sixty years, and al- though the church has need of repairs, yet when, we consider the length of years it has stood, the builders must have builded well: It was dedicated in September 1877 for a place of wor- ship of the Methodist Episcopal Church by Bishop Carman. The church 'was clear of debt on the day of dedication, some people giving as high as three hundred dolalrs. Short- ly after the church was built, a shed | was added. It was built directly south of the church and faced the east. The length of the shed was the distance of the church to the south fence which really meant the cemetery was dividea. The shed was very cold in the winter as the winds from the east blew directly into it. To remedy this a high board fence was built in front of the shed and separated the drive to the shed from the cemetery. Some of the gates and fence were moved when the shed itself was moved to its pre- sent position, and are included in the fence at the back. There was some trouble about the old shed because in driving to the shed one entered at the gate 30 yards west of the present gate of the church, along the east side of the church to the shed. It was often nicknamed the race track. It was some years before the shed was moved to its present position. The ministers that were in charge of Pleasant Point were Rev. Mr, Egan, the minister at the time the church was built; Rev. Mr, Billings and Rev. Mr. Pomery, In 1884 it was trans- (ferred to the Little Britain circuit, and ministers: of Little Britain and the students associated with them took their turns in preaching at Pleasant Point. For the sake of brevity the names of the ministers only will be given: Revs. Geo. Allin, W. Bridgen, W. R. Young, B. Greatrix, J. C. Bell, F. B, Statton, J. E. Robe- son, W."G. Clark. During the pastor- ate of Rev. W. G. Clark, Pleasant "J time the following ministers Point, 'along iwth Zion, was trans- ferred to Seagrave, and since that have been in charge: Rev, J, U. Robins, R. A. Delve, G. W. Marvin, F. G. Johlin, T. A, Carmichael, R, G. Carruthers, J. Davidson, B. F, Green, and 'the Present pastor O, R. Flindall. In 1902 during the pastorate of W. G. Clark, the Ladies' Aid was organ- ized at Pleasant Point, 85 years ago in" April, The first president was 'Mrs, Helen Moase, and Mis, Richard -Moase, Secretary. Some of the or- iginal members are: Mrs, Duke King, Mrs, Thos. Moase, Mrs, Marion Moase, Wm. Foster, and Mrs, C, Sweetman. The names of the people of this Church transferred in 1906 were: Mr. and Mrs. P. Ripley, Mr. and Mrs, F. Shaver, Herb. Shaver, Mr, and Mrs, L. Shaver, Newton Shaver, Mr, and Mrs, T.-H, Moase, Ada King, Thos, Moase, Jr.; Mrs. Marion Moase, Vida Moase, Mr. and Mrs. Frank King, Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Smith, Eva Smith, Mrs. Helen Moase, Chas.

( 2nd---PORT PERRY'S J bouquet of flowers before they leave The Women's Guild held its monthly | 'his heart, so is he." The following address was read: Seagrave, June 24th, 1937 To Rev. O, R. Flindall: Dear Mr. Flindall,--The years come and go, and with them we note the changes of life. You and your es- teemed helpmeet have been with us for three years--three years of help- ful service to our church. Now you feel that it is time for us to part. We are sorry to see you go. * During the years of your ministry you have given us a wholesome, wide- visioned view of life; and we shall not forget the good advice and inspiring thoughts that have characterized your sermons, You have been a welcome visitor in our homes in times of sor- row and of joy. Your sympathy was ready and natural, for you know rural life, and realize both its possibilities and its limitations, You .love the church, and have done much to sustain the beauty of the House of the Lord. Mrs. Flindall has endeared herself to our people by her constant helpful- ness. We shall miss you both. Our good wishes go with you on your new field at Cherry Valley. On behalf of the Seagrave Congre- gation, we ask you to accept this purse as a token of our esteém. Signed on behalf of the congregation, J. N. Mark and Mys. R. Reynolds Many from the community turned out on Sunday evening to listen to Mr. Flindall in his farewell message which will surely remain with us for many years, Mr, Flindall chose these words for his message. ""As he thinketh in The closing thought was, "Think good thoughts, keep good companionship and read good literature." We are surely sorry to see Rev. and Mrs. Flindall leave our midst and for the many acts of kind- ness done by them during their ministry here we have kind thoughts of them always. _ Baseball is still very much in the spot-light and of course Seagrave 1s pretty 'well to the top of the tri-town- ship league, They played a good game on the home diamond on Tues- day evening with Little Britain, but came out on the losing side, Score 9-7 at the end of the seventh inning. Finley, the star pitcher thi year was absent but Wallace and N. McMillan made good substitutes. Little Britain boys are gaod on the batting and then | aim séemed to be the hay on the out- skirts of the diamond which allowed some home runs. Then too, Neil Me- Millan made a wonderful hit and al- lowed four runs but the umpire called it a foul and Seagrave had to take their tough luck. However, they gain, ed two of those back in the next in- ning. In the last of the fifth Harvey Heatlie took a few turns in the dirt when Bill McMillan slid into third. At Salem on Thursday tvening I think the boys had barrels- of fun, except maybe Glen Wannamaker who got a sock on the side of the head from the ball when he was too far off the bag, Tell the pitcher to aim for the bag next time, Glen, it would- not hurt it nearly so much as it did your head. (Glen is still going around with a lump the size of an egg on the side of his head. - Salem boys weren't very loyal to their team and three of the Seagrave boys played on the Salem team. They didn't give the game to the Seagrave team either, as far as their playing was concerned. One even played in his sox feet having loaned his shoes to one of the home players. Charge the team up with a new pair! They would be getting off easy at that con- sidering the other spots that gave way. However, the game as I said before, was amusing. No free-for-all like we saw Little Britain vs. Valentia on Sat- urday evening. Just two teams on the best of terms enjoying a game ot hardball and the losing side taking their loss with chin up. Art Hicks of Valentia was the umpire for this game and the score was 27-10 in favour of Seagrave, Don't forget the Garden Party on tht Church lawn on July 8th. The aim is funds to finance the re-decorating of the church and purchase of pulpit chairs. Everybody come and enjoy the evening's entertainment. > ere.
