SEASON COMBINED SUMMER SERVICES IN TRINITY UNITED CHURCH Rex Gordon Turner SUNDAY AUGUST 1971 We have already seen that under the new survey of IBID the upper parts of Trafalgar and Nelson townships and the whole of and townships were opened for settlement and thereafter there was a great influx of settlers both from the British Isles and also from the Niagara District In the latter case they were for the most part sons and daughters of E Loyalists who each received a free grant of 200 acres In tho case of those direct from Britain the Scots predominated as far as is concerned and a whole section stretching from the base line to near No Side Road and from the line to the 2nd Line was known as the Scotch Block A Presbyterian congre gation was soon formed and in order to have a regular minister a request was sent to the United Presbyterians of the United States They sent a man When he he found a minister in possession of the church and a difficulty at once arose A large and Influential element resolved to leave and start another church David Scott the first settler In Nassagaweya was chosen to secure a site was a Clergy Reserve Jot for sale which he bought Both of these congregations have had a successful and continuous existence The original frame church known as Boston Presbyterian church was replaced by a stone building in 18w frame church known as the Anil Burgher church was replaced by a splendid brick structure A commodious brick manse on either side of the road smile at each other A traveller is surprised to find at an ordinary country cross road two large churches and manses seeming to debate the old questions of theology across the road The Boston Church still thrives but the United Presbyterian church congregation dwindled and the church finally closed its doors and was eventually torn down A monunvnt today marks its location Any person who cares to take an hour on a summer Sunday afternoon and visit Boston churchyard will find it a rewarding experience The inscriptions read a native of Dumfries a native of Inverness a native of Skye all the counties and most of the Islands of Scotland have their representaUvea sleeping there The same story applies pretty much to all the other old cemeteries in the township and we find the old stones indicating the birth places of the pioneers as England Scotland Ireland the Niagara District and various New England States The earliest record of a town meeting indicates that one was held at the home of Joseph St on dish on New Year Day 1821 It is stated In the minutes that the population of the township that tune was At that meeting lames Froser was chosen Town Clerk Joseph and Thomas Barbour Assessors Fyfe Collector and Charles Kennedy and John Stewart Town Wardens As soon as a tavern was opened sub sequent meetings were held at establish on the I known for miles around as Tom Tavern Die Atlas reads The business consisted chiefly of defining the proportions of a lawful fence determining what animals should be allowed to run at larje deciding on what road work was to be done and the registration of cattle each settler a distinctive mark For these purposes fence viewers

distinct parties as antagonistic to each other as could well be Imagined reader however must not infer that the old pioneers were of disorderly class They were probably far superior to those in other parts of the Province but it is only lately that people have in general discovered that to break a man head is not one of the best ways to convert him from an erroneous opinion In Fact there are home parts of the Province where the people arc still in ignorance of this truth In later years two other Dig days in the year more or less superseded the above two as cause for celebration namely and

libations of any kind Under the Municipal Act of the county form of government was set up and and Counties were separated in 1853 The first council set up under the Act was composed of John Reeve Ninlan Lindsay Deputy James Young J Hall and William Thompson Councillors Richard Tracy was appointed Clerk and after his death in John Murray was appointed Municipal affairs continued along in the
