Mr. And Mrs. Albert Orchard Long Time Residents Of Seagrave In local records of the last century for Seagrave district, the names Orchard, Moon, Rey- nolds and Rogers appear fre- quently as religious leaders and public-gpirited citizens. Many of the present day families are descended from one or more of these lines. In 1897 a union "of these fa- milies took place when Mabel Reynolds, daughter of Richard Reynolds and his wife Hannah Rogers, became the wife of Al- bert Orchard, son of Albert Or- chard and his wife Elizabeth Ann Moon. This marriage last- ed nearly 67 years but during the last few months both of the partners have gone to their re- ward. The couple first twenty-one years were spent on the old Orchard homestead acquired by the grandfather Jacob Orchard in "1863, and situated at the mouth of the Nonquon river overlooking Lake Scugog. During this period a daughter Dorothy (Mrs. Clayton Boker, LB IRN IA! ia Lb Rae UAV) SN FT Ty a Orillia) and a son Grant were born to them. When the homestead was sold Mr. and Mrs. Orchard with their family moved to Port Perry but they still wished to farm so after a year returned to live on what was known as the Jack Leask farm on the 14th concession of Reach, After 20 years there, the Orchards retired, going first to Stouff- 'ville and later to Orillia to be with their daughter. Throughout their lives home and church were their chief in- terests. Both were loyal mem- bers of the Methodist and later the United Church. As a mem- ber of the official board Mr. Orchard helped in planning and financing the Methodist Church (now Seagrave United) built in 19086. . Mrs. Orchard, a woman of great dedication, served faith- fully in the Ladies Aid and made a worthwhile contribution to church life as teacher of the adult bible class. Times have changed greatly since Mr. and Mrs. Orchard started farming. Without trac- tors or power mowers they till- ed their fields and kept their lawns and gardens in 'beautiful condition, Mr. Orchard was a graduate of Guelph College in dairy farming and excelled as a butter-maker. In his day he shipped hundreds of 50 1b. boxes of butter to Eatons via the old "Nip-and-Tuck". At local fairs he won so many prizes on but- ter that he was banned from competition and had to exhibit at "Toronto Fair" where he also won prizes. After retirement 24 years ago the Orchards enjoyed a well-earned rest, using thelr time in reading, gardening and in taking trips with their child- ren and grandchildren. They were not long parted in death. © Mr. Orchard passed away on July 165, 1964 in hia 92nd year and Mrs. Orchard on Jan, 20th, 1965 in her 80th year. ' Both funerals were held in Port Perry with their grandson and nephews as pall-bearers. Interment was in Pine Grove cemetery, Prince Albert. J.
