the couple left on a trip narth they reside at rr 1 acton county assembled at hornby for the glorious twelfth of july celebra tions the village was gay with fairy lights japanese lanterns evergreens and bunting wjth an archway of decorations right across the seventh line from the red lion hotel to mcclennanvstortf on the opposite corner it was a gala day for hornby and the village folk went all out to make it a success the first orange hall wasa log building with a clapboard roofw this was built in 1823 on a corner of the farm owned by abraham stark fifth line trafalgar in 1858 a much larger hall was built at horn by west facing the base line the orange hall of today is that same hall and in the same location the hall has always been in great demand riot only by the orange men themselves but as a meeting place for political jnallles farm groups tea parties and womens institute affairs if the old walls could speak they would have great stories to tell of the days that have parsed methodists first hbrhby residents have always been particularly fortunate in their opportunities for religious worship the first denomination to establish a church was methodist in 1823 the methodists built a small log church on the west corner of the 8th con- ion- flobert black who was- to be buried in bloomqeid cemetery but from where the blade family lived on the bae line there was no road no way ot getting uv bloomqeid except the earth as a foundation and then threeinch planks were laid across the sills or sleepers no nails were used the planks being held down by their own weight v dinner to celebrate the road was off icially opened in burying ground and a coffin- to i december 1850 a public dinner was in 1825 another methodist church was built on the sixth line trafal gar this was known as bloomfield church there was also an adjoining burying ground all that now re mains of the building are the em bedded cornerstones by the old graveyard wherein lie quite a num ber of the earliest pioneers tomb stones that mark their resting place bear such names as black camp bell cunningham rut ledge and some others burials a problem living conditions in the early 1800s were as we know very hard indeed so that even a burial some times created quite a problem this was the case following the death of what did 607000 people find behiad this door in 1954 th da was no light weight very different from the caskets of the present time it 14- therefore easy to imagine that the trip through the bush was no easy task for the pall bearers of robert black perhaps the difficulties of inter ment was one reason why burials were not always made in a cemetery or graveyard on quite a number of farms in hornby and elsewhere piece of land would be set aside as a family burial ground one such place is on the farm of edward brigden where there are a consider able number of graves there are also graves on the brownridge farm and again on what used to be known as the brown homestead oh the ninth line on clifford wrigglesworths farm there is a mound said to be that of an indian grave but to return to the churches still another methodist church was built on lot 2 concession 7 this building was later used as a grange hall a sort of cooperative estab lishment then it was taken over by the hornby literary and debat ing society which flourished for a number of years as the population of hornby in creased frame churches were built to accommodate the various con- o lui finally joined forces in 1837 st stephens anglican church was built it is a fine example of early architecture standing on a hilltop on ground donated by john cowan one pf the earliest settlers in the district adjoining the church is a large wellkept cemetery the last resting place of many of the pio neers whose names have appeared from time to time in these pages of the past in 1838 the presbyterians built a frame church on the corner of the 8th concessiow but the congrega tion outgrewhe church and another church was built and officially opened on april 4 1878 we hope to deal more fully with churches in hornby and elsewhere at a later date plank road stretching right across hornby west and east runs the seventh line esquesing and the seventh line trafalgar this section of road was for years known as part of the plank road perhaps this is the time to give a more detailed des cription of this type of road which we have mentioned so often in pre vious columns plank roads were in use in some parts of ontario from 1836 their purpose was to facilitate the move ment of lumber wheat and other held at stewarttown to mark th historic occasion once the rbau was h operation plans had to be niade immediately for its future re pair and maintenance for this pur pose toll gates were set up every few miles the fees collected were supposed to pay for the upkeep of the road r the road warin constant use and it was largely due tdjts popularity that so- many taverns located in this section of the county some say there was a tavern for every five farm however the plank road although so popular was not as successful as had been hoped it was soon evident that planks would have to be replaced every five years for this reason it was felt the cost of maintaining the road would be prohibitive actually before five years had passed the directors of the com pany announced that funds had al ready been exhausted and that no money was available for repairing the road since the road cpuld no longer be maintained the collection of tolls was discontinued and the county council was asked to relin quish its claim on the 3000 loan plankipg was removed bit by bit not always legitimately and in a short while travellers along the seventh line were once more mired in mud andqiisery pioneer farms there are still a few farms in tho hornby district owned by descend- ants of pioneers jho settled on crown property cunningham and brooks for instance there are also other farms worthy of npte among them that of john coul- son hornby west mr coulson has for several years carried out a one- man reforestation and conservation programme and now has seven acres in hardwoods and evergreens providing sanctuary for many spec ies of game birds and the fourfoot ed creatures of the woods an at tractive gateway and an avenue of evergreens leads to a wellkept house and barn at
