a i < Zi Wn Nd + Ka 5 - celebration Page Eight Cartwright Centenary (continued from front page) settler in Cavan took sick at harvest time, it was the Blazers--of all peo- ple!~--who came secretly and prevent- ed loss by harvesting his crop for him. So--today, standing ~ before this beautiful monument and recalling the lives of the hardy pioneers in whose memory it has been erected and is now unveiled, it is of such men that we think. For a few moments I have lifted the veil that hides the past from us. We have only had time to see a very little of that past but it is suf- ficient to make us proud of these men -- the pioneers, our forefathers; and it fills me with pleasure to be present to- day when so fitting a tribute is being paid to the lives they led with such fortitude and in such a noble, self- sacrificing spirit of a generosity and co-operation one with the other in the building up not alone of Cartwright, now celebrating its centenary but of this Great Dominion as a part of the Empire. Let me now read to you the names of the men who were residents of the Township of Cartwright from 1837--1845. It is a Roll of Honour and I would like to suggest that all those present stand while I read their names to you: Adams, Anderson, Archer, Argue, Armstrong, Arnott, Ashton, Ax- worthy, Beacock, Bartley, Beattie, Bolton, Bradburn, Brandon, Brown, Bruce, Bryans, Butson, Byers, Braden, Bickell, Burr, Caesar, Campbell, Chit- tick, Coulter, Cowan, Crawford, Crozier, Crawly, Calwell, D'Arcy, Demara, Devitt, Dever, Dinsmore, Deacon, Earle, Edgerton, Evans, Fer- guson, Fluke, Fallis, Fowler, Free- borne, Farewell, Farvoll, Gardner, Gibson, Goggin, Given, Hall, Hambly, Hay, Henry, Hilliar, Holmes, Hooey, Hooper, Hubbard, Hunter, Hyland, Howe, Hunt, Jackson, Johnstone, Jobb, Kissack, Knapp, Lang, Larmer, Lattimore, Lawson, Luke, Logan, Loucks, Leddy, Mahood, Mahaffey, Malcolm, Marlow, Martin, Medd, Moore, Morono, Montgomery, Mug- ridge, Muirhead, McClenahan, Mec- Cracken, McCrea, McCoy, McDougall, MecGarrell, McKee, McKinnon, Me- Laughlin, McNally, McQuaide, Mills, Nesbitt, Parker, Patterson, Phair, Philp, Petes, Potts, Proutt, Pue, Rey- nolds, Richardson, Seymour, Scott, Saxon, Spinks, Shirks, Smith, Sander- son, Taylor, Talbot, Taylor, Torbey, Trigg, Todd, Vance, Watson, White, Whitfield, Widdess, Willan, William- son. i When we think of such men as these and of. a host of others too numerous to mention we are conscious that while words will suffice as an expression of our, admiration for them, and while, too, such a monument as this is a tangible manifestation of the high esteem in which we hold their mem- ory; vet it remains for us by our deeds further to enrich the heritage they have left us, I am confident that the torch they have handed on will not be permitted to grow .dim in the hands of this and succeeding gen- erations. I congratulate the Cor- poration of the Township of Cart- wright on their Centennial -- the of the 100th year since their foundation. I take pride in my family's association with the story of Cartwright and the County of Durham--a story of which we are all justly.proud. 1 welcome the op- portunity that has been mine to tell you something--but a very fittle--of this splendid story of the past and I wish vou all, and through you all, those. communities who fulfill the pur- pose of their lives within the borders of your township such prosperity and happiness and success as will be a worthy consummation of the heroic efforts of all those noble men and brave women to whose honout and in whose name we are today gathered to- gether, MARSH HILL Mr. and Mrs. Frank Welsh spent Sunday with friends at Derryville.
