levelled ii memories of the 12lb fergusl have been thinking about old i2lh of july celebrations in fergus the scots were not followers of william of orange the first orangeman in fergus if i recall correctly was dad hayden i think he introduced the first orange lodge in fergus but i recall some of the walks they would be held in various places and in the days when people travelled by train the orangemen would gather at the cnr station as they waited for the train the orangemen would congregate in the freight shed at the station and play their fifes and drums there were quite a few lodges through the rural parts of the county and they would go from fergus by train as a boy i enjoyed the parades and the music of the orangemen the orangemen put a lot of enthusiasm into the day and they would be quite tired out when evening came down in toronto you had to be an orangeman to get anywhere in politics in fergus the lodge did no have much strength the orangemen were mostly irish the scots did not have much use for them i think the old enthusiasm has died out pretty much i remember when earl day a catholic loaned his while horse to the orangemen to lead their parade there used to be a good deal of fighting on the 12th of july and all that is just a memory now i think there was one murder a group of orangemen were going home from a celebration in fergus yelling insults at the catholics as they went through alma when somebody took a shot at them one of the favorite slogans of the orangemen used to be up the long udder and down the short rope hurray for king billy to hell
