He was a most worthy citizen and of him it can be well said: "An honest man in the noblest work of God." : Where now stands the residence of Isaac Beare, was the com- bined shoe shop and home built some sixty<ive years ago, by Ned Dusty, who along with his son Sam and Johnny Whiteford, made the footwear of the whole countryside. For many years after the coming of the factory products, the father drove the "Black Maria" (Royal Mail) to Blackwater and the son carried on a big repair business, perhaps putting in longer hours than that veteran pegger, John Doubt, of Port Perry, (and that was going some.) Ralph Somerville and Tom Gulley were the two smithers, with such efficient helpers as George Ledingham, Hugh Me- Millan, ood and T. L. Salter, practiced their iron work, and were ably in woodcraft by Joe Sanders and Billy White- ford, in turning out a splendid supply of buggies, cutters, wagons, rp ) _~ John Linton's harnessshop, with such hustlers as Harry Hor- top, Raymond Byers, Jack Foy, Billy Cragg and Jim Ashton, decorated the horses for around; and wasn't it a splendid ace to get the latest village gossip or, to find a sure solution of One must not forget the tailorshop of Dave Perkins and "Abe by alert apprentices like the Bundy PoE The general stores of Bob Harrington and Dave Perkins were well patronized as mail order business was then unknown. The "barter" system was at its height as the housewives were expert buttermakers and the old speckled hens worked over time. Cash in quantity was ohly available with the fall sale of grain or the spring departures of fat cattle. Most farmers killed their hogs before marketing. : : . eos at busy places were Billy Beare's grist mill, a mile south; and Tim Cragg's saw mill, a half mile south-west. What wonder- ful stories ave told of the adjacent ponds where we learned to 'swim, skate, and did much fishing (good catches, too), or admired the great, flocks from miles around getting their spring wash in 1 for the yearly shearing., 4 ~All these industries have long since disappeared (some by re), except Mrs. Neil McArthur's residence, which was the first store of the village. : 5 4 _ . Other immortals were Jim Miller, the builder of. many barns; Bob Watson, the thresher; Alex. Horne, the weaver, Isaac O'Neill, thé brickmaker; Billy Michie, the plasterer; Henry Love and Jimmy Innes, masons; Richard Branton, Jessie Harman and Jimmy Cross, the star labourers; Ned Phoenix, the Postmaster; Philip Taylor, the popular teacher; Dr. John Parks, of Saintfield; and not forgetting Bob Walker, the old sailor; and Johnny Mac., the gentleman of leisure, second to none in his knowledge of cur- rent events. - While in those days the village proper had forty houses, it now has good reason to be proud of its fifty improved or new residences which have come with the good roads. An increasing number of farms talk of retiring in Greenbank. The village tavern (one time twenty-three in the township) under the care of J ' Thompson, accommodated many travellers, but thanks to the work of the Sons of Temperance, had no licence after 1885. It stood on the United-Church site. «The spiritual needs were well cared for by Canon Davidson Qlizeh, Rev. George Bishop or Rev. W. C. Washington in the Vesleyan Methodist, and Rev. Richard Hassard in the Primitive fethodist. The Primitives had their own Sunday School with g y Beare as Superintendent, while the other churches had & union Sunday School under the direction of James Miller. For three years much excitement and some ill-feeling was by both Sunday Schools having their anniversaries on Two choirs and two bands from outside, along with vigitors, made the day highly intere , is the change of ownership of the farms of the the Centre road were James Har: , J.

On the East of the Centre Road were: R.

Of these forty names only eight are on the same farms today; that is of the 78 farmers of the Green- bank area only 18 of the names are the same as 50 years ago. (* marks names still on these farms.) More than three- quarters have changed ownership by western migration and the call of the city, etc. ' Of the scholars in the Greenbank public school in 1883, not a-dozen are now in the community. It is difficult for to-day's Joung people to realize that fifty years ago no farmers had self- inders, steam Jo gasdline engines, telephones, rural mail, electric power, automobiles, paved roads, and the most marvellous of all, radios. Yet it was a pretty happy world then--some of the old timers, even say happier than that of to-day. People spent more time in their own community and were better acquainted with their neighbours, ; . Away back in the long-ago, Greenbank was at the junction of the old Brock 'road ahd the 12th Concession, near the Presby- terian cemetery. Besides blacksmith shop, the church and store- postoffice, there were very few houses. (Wm. Leningham's was the last.) The tlosing of the old road determined the new loca- tion on the 11th concession, of a village on a hill "beautiful for situation and the joy" of all who have ever lived there. The name was in remembrance of the home of the Cragg family in England. The first house was built by Eddie Bassingthwaite and is now oc- cupied by his grandson, Bill Phoenix. Mrs. Albert Phoenix's driving shed was the public school prior to 1874 and was first located near the cemetery a mile to the west. Sixty years ago Dusty's shop, the white brick church and the Sons of Temperance hall (over a shed) were the only buildings east of the 11th concession, while there were only twenty houses in the village apart from the farm residences of John Phoenix, Joe Bagshaw, Joe Lee and John Ianson. Surely the world does move--In the good old days the village '| was seven miles from four railway stations (G.T.R.) and 10 miles from the C.P.R. Now Toronto (50 miles away) is often reached by auto in the same time as it took to get aboard a train. Bob Watson was the first to use steam in place of the five- team horse power, in threshing. Ned Phoenix bought the first self-binder (wire cord.) Dr. John Park owned the first telephone line and also the first pneumatic tired bicycle. Just fifty years ago on February 28th, the marriage of Annie Perkins and James Leask, now so happily retired in Port Perry, caused great excitement. Only one story of other days--a fish story at that--yet absolutely true. On an old log projecting out in the Beare pond stood two enthusiastic followers of Isaac Walton. Little John Somerville was the useful shoreman to remove the fish, put on bait, spit on the hooks, ete. The farthest out boy, Jim Miller, landed a sunfish but on bringing his tackle back he made his biggest catch ever by hooking into the jaw of Bob Somerville aul landed the ex-Ontario County Warden head first into the drink. Fortunately the hook did little damage and the days outing was somewhat lengthened as the outfit dried and shrunk on a hickory limb, and Bob has about forgotten what his mother said and did when he got home, | Reduction in the : i > 3 Teachers' Salaries At the meeting of the Port Perry Board of Edu- : held on Tuesday evening, a reduction was - made in the salaries of all the teachers and the care- taker, totalling $1195.00.
