Lindsay citizens are proud to have still in their midst a. number of residents} who have dwelt in this town for many 'years, and who have helped to 'build up this flourishing town. which was then but a small scattered vilâ€" lage in the midst of forests and swamps. Among these well 'known‘ pion?ers is Mr. Samuel Tucker. Why now resides in his comfortable dwel- limr an Durham-st. where any old acquaintances can nna . um um Gar- joy a pleasant hour talking of "the good old times.” BORN IN ENGLAND. , M13. Tucker, who is now seventy- nine years of age, is enjOying a re- tired life after many years of toil- ‘some and active life. He was born iin Devonshire, Englfind, in 1831. Like many others who have left? England and gone to various parts of the great British empire, he loved the motherland, his birthplace and home, and would fain visitvit again. A SOLDIER AND SAILOR. If space permitted many exciting and interesting stories of war Could be told by Mr. Tucker, who was a British soldier and sailor. He was in the navy at the time of the Cri- mean war, when Russia undertook to force its right of protection on the Turks, and England interfered. He was captain of a pivot gun on board the “Conqueror" for four years, most of which time the .vesâ€" sels were stationed in the Mediter- tranean Sea and the Black Sea. .111 1857 the British fleet was sta- tioned at Leghorn to protect the in- terests of the British subjects. and Mr. Tucker well remembers the time. Austria. assisted by France, was at war with Italy. and for some time they remained on guard at the Ital- ian ports. As Mr. Tucker stated : where we were for twenty-four hours. when the British mail ship hove in sight, and gave the signal that three shots had been put through their funnel by the Moors or Spanish. Virhile going through the Straits of u-°-- ., v._,, shots had been put through their funnel by the Moors or Spanish” ’while going through the Straits of} Gibraltar. and the order was at once given us to up- anchor and proceed to the rock of Gibraltar. where we lay in waiting for three months with the guns double-shotted, to engage with Spain; At the end of that time the Spanish general sent word to the British admiral that the we: was over. and that they could do nothing to the Moors. and orders were immediately received to pro- Lcoed to England, where on our er- ’riva1 I bought my discharge from in Portsmouth.” that time. ’ SETTLE!) IN BOBCAYGmN. Mr. Tucker first settled in Bobcay' goon, and “up a. short .aojourn there started timing in the township. 01 Anon. when he MM 1°” scon- pie 01m.

Lindsay now has a. pop- ulation of eight thousand. but at that time the population was not ‘much over the 1000 mark. The town was then a small village ‘the river from Flavelles' grist mill, and from thére across the river near the‘Baner Lumber Company's 1 and proceeded along the west scattered throughout a wooded swampy country. THE BIG FIRE. The big fire which swept out most of the town occurred about one year before Mr. Tucker moved here. but he stated that the town was mostly a mass of charred remains. especially in the east ward. where he remem: bered only a few houses remained, among which was an old beer-house. He believed that nothing did the {town so much good as the fire, as 'it burned out all the old houses. and strong residences were constructed in place of them. He recollects clearly that the town hall Was standing then. as also was the north ward school. ”What now is known as Vic- toria Park Was at that time a dank, woody. swamp, and if the people lwho sit and listen to a band concert I ‘on a summer's evening, would think of it as such how strange it would seem. and how marvellous a change the pasaing years and advancing civ- Iilization had made! Kent-st. also the passing years and advancmg 01v- ilization had made! Kent-st. also was at that time composed of a few scattered stores and public houses. The G.T.R. branch line to Lindsay was at this time only eight years built, and did not come west of the river, but ran along the east bank to the station. which was then across past Parkins‘ mill (now belonging to Mr. Carew). and on northward the the station burned. same as the present line. The G.T. R. station was moved to its present site shortly after he came here. when BUIL'I‘ IROK BRIDGE. Mr. Tucker was the contractor of ‘ the iron bridge, and he helped also ‘ to build the present line. which he ‘ said runs through what was then a ‘ boggy swamh and stumpy land. which one might have thought well nigh impossible to transform to its Iii-went condition and appearance. BOBCAYGEON AND FENELON FALLS IN 1870. .- In 1870 Bobcaygeon and Tendon Falls. which are to-day two thriving towns. were composed of a couple~ Loi log houses and an inn or two. and ‘were closed in by great depths of FIRE AT BRI'I'TON’S. Mr. Tucker well remwnbers a fire which took place at Britton's store. The wholestore as well as the ad- hinting condition .,v vvvvv m B.

"he Commodore." “The 0mm" and “The Woodman. " and were manned by Capt Georg-e amdeu. By some strange work 0‘ likes was suspended. For‘ a, year or more Mr. Tucker, who was known for his skill in 9.1911- ning and constfllcting, built traffic number of buildings in Chicago‘xend at one time he remembers when "on 0, ‘big contract all the other emplo #: 1.- struck for higher wages. um ne alone continued working. and short- ly before he left. the man for whom AL-‘ .
