PAGE NO REMINISCENCES 0F GLENELG TOWNSHIP AND PRICEVILLE In passing through this world we, meet with all manner of obstacles t0» retard our prog wass in life‘s journey; StJIIIUt-lnlt's we come in contact. as it, were with mountains of difficulty to climb. and by Severe strt ggle we get, to the top, and in doing so, we take 2). \‘ie\\' of the many Objects We met while on life‘s journey thus far. And in taking a View to the forward move we. wonder what sort, ”1' pathway we have to travel the L rest. 01‘ our way before we reach the g«)al el‘ eur exxstence. The aged pioneer takes a retro-i Spective View of his life since he was a boy entering the woods or Ulenclg. or any other place in (m- tario he remembers, when a young: lad, how he drove the oxen with his father guiding them from getting fast in the stumps. or snaps hauling in the first crop of hay on a wooden sleigh to the old log barn, which consisted of one end with a window at the top to put in the hay: prohahly there was never more than one boy and they enjoyed the fun of stowingrr away the. hay. put in by the father. to the far end of the mow.

'l'lle l'll‘sl mill built at Priceâ€"1 \‘illn was by the late John ‘.\chon-‘ ahl. in the year 1857. and he treated all the Villagers with :1 licking: of flour which was quite a treat to the partakm's. From Pricox'ille to the Toronto line. sixty or seventy years ago. was settled by colored people; and now there are none of that race to be found as residents of the place. In the year 1861 the gravel road was built from all the main roads in the county of Grev. for some ten or fifteen years iprevious to the building of the gravel road travellers had to content themselves by travelling over hills and causeways, or as it was called then “crossways,” going over logs and sometimes the old waggon By An Early Settler THE DURHAM CHRONICLE First Separator POtato Digging wou]d get, faspwhen going over one 102 1n comlng m contact with -an- ‘1.“ c vvvvvv _ -_ O log in coming in contact with an- other. The old oxen had to endure hardship while passing along, for 1 the driver used the blue beech goad to persuade them to get along as qiuckly as possible. -‘ Many Hardships The. early pioneer had to endure hardships which the younger generâ€" ation has no conception of. Their t‘oret’atl'lers had to carry their pro- . visions on their shoulders from . Durham. or any other town where supplies were to be found. It. was . nothing fol- a brave man then to ' carry one lunulrml pounds of flour from Durham mills to the vicinity of l’riceville with other necessaries such as a pound of tea: no sugar. no butter. but a bannoek made on the old fashioned frying pan held to the fireplace and ten. without. eream or sugar. 1! was generally summsed that. a bag of flour and a pound of tea would do for one man a. month. tllmpping and logging was hard. healthy work. and as housekeepers were not, Very plentiful the laborer himself had to do the domestic work: smuetimes after his day‘s work outside, in the dark of night. by the fliekering light, from the? fireplaee of the contents of the best. of maple. whieh was plentiful and \\'ort|tless at that time. Whiskey Was Cheap l 1 ln olden times when a few would ‘be gathered together at. logging bees 5 or log raising. they would have to get. whiskey. for it, was only twenty- fix'e to fifty eeuts a. gallon and said to be better quality than they get. today for four to five dollars a gallon: but, as time passed the old manner was abandtmed by having whiskey at. any kind of work. In olden times the person that. hadn‘t whiskey at. his wife‘s funeral was counted as mean and stingy. and at.
