So full of history and its importance - books, preserved items, historical historical places and things, traditional culture and a rich heritage. It has been an exciting past year for me - researching our family tree. My great great grandparents on my mother's side, the Allan's were from Morayshire, Scotland, and with six babies came to Upper Canada and settled at Baltimore Baltimore in 1835. My great grandparents grandparents on my father's side, the Clemence's, came from Cornwall, England and settled just east of Port Hope on Lake Ontario. It was a thrill for me to visit the house there, and to know the faith, hard work and love our ancestors had. This being Bicentennial Year, I would like to pass on to you an article, in part, orated in the Legislature in 1982 by the Hon. Margaret Birch. "Almost 200 years ago as the fires of revolution were dying in the United States, the governor of Quebec, Sir Frederick Haldimand, decided decided to open up the area we know today as Ontario to large-scale immigration and settlement. Our province, at that time part of Quebec, was largely wilderness. It was inhabited by the Native peoples and by a few French and British at scattered places along the trading routes. The first permanent European European settlement here took place in 1639 at Ste. Marie among the Hurons, near present present day Midland. A number of other communities can also trace their roots to the 17th century, including Kingston which was founded by the French at Fort Frontenac in 1673, and Moose Factory, established established in the same year by the British. In the late 1740's French farm settlers appeared appeared along the shore opposite Fort Detroit in what is now Essex County. Gov. Haldimand recognized the need to find homes for some 50,000 Loyalists who left the States as a result of the war. In the two centuries since, they have been followed by people from all over the world. Together, we have built Ontario into the province it is today. The first several thousand Loyalist settlers arrived in the spring of 1784. Their land grants were located at the east end of Lake Ontario, and along the St. Lawrence, Niagara, Grand and Detroit Rivers. They were a diverse group in both religion and race. Most were American-born of English, Scottish and Irish origins, but their numbers included included Iroquois of the Six Nations, Germans and Dutch." So this year 1984 will be the 200th Anniversary of our Loyalist settlements. This group was large enough to attract other settlers, and the year 1784 was the beginning of an organized society. I hope we may all have a rewarding time planning many celebrations and activities activities in this our Bicentennial Year. Sincerely, Mabel L. Goode, Orono, Ontario. Red Eagles Host Big Brothers Night Congratulations to Mayor Rickard for his suggestion to turn our old Town Hall into an Arts Centre. What a shame if one of the "landmarks" of Bowmanville were to be torn down, especially especially when it could be used for the purpose for which it was built. We have such a lot of talent in this community - what a pity to let it go to waste for the lack of facilities. Let's back the Mayor in his proposition to restore the Town Hall and convert it into an Arts Centre. Ross Metcalf and Helen Nelles Elmvale R. R. 2, Ont., LOL1P0 Jan. 11,1984 Dear Johnny: Our community has been greatly shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of our pastor Rev. Samuel Henderson. Henderson. On the Friday before Christmas he collapsed in the doctor's waiting room and never recovered. Sam was born on a farm near Palmerston, Ont. After completing high school in Palmerston and Listowel he entered the University of Toronto and graduated from Emmanuel College in the spring of 1943. After serving the United Church briefly in the Northern Ontario communities communities of White River and Muskoka he volunteered for and was accepted into the Canadian Army as a Chaplain in World War II. Following demobilization he became pastor of Trinity United Church, Bowmanville. It was here he met the beautiful beautiful and talented girl, Betty Sisson, who would become his wife. They were married in Hart House Chapel, Toronto on June 24,1952. The young couple set out for a new pastorate at Lincoln Road United Church in Windsor. Windsor. It was a pastorate that would last for twenty-six years. Three children were born to them: Heather who now lives in Toronto; John of Smithers, B.C. and Katharine of Yellowknife, N.W.T. Sam and Betty came to St. John's, Elmvale, in Oct. 1978. Health problems had forced his resignation from Lincoln Road a year and a half previously previously but now he had re- > cuperated and his doctor agreed a smaller pastorate would be just fine. What a blessing it was for us all! His charm, his friendliness, his kindliness, his wisdom, his sincerity, his power in the pulpit all endeared him to his congregation. We understood perfectly when from time to time we found carloads of people from Windsor's Lincoln Road worshipping with us. He was a man admired and loved by all whom he served. We miss him.
