M0“ on) COINS THE " ”UHAM CHRONICLE The first church was a Methodist church built of brick lopposite the cottage on the second concession. A few graves in the old church yard are still marked off by a fence from the rest of the field. I do not know the date of this building but it must have been about 1858. The old log church, Presbyterian, was built out at Reid’s, where the cemetery is, about 1868. Mr. Park from Durham had much to do with the establishing of this church. Rev. Hugh Crozier was their first settled pastor also min- istering to the neighboring charges of given by Mr. William Reid for the church and cemetery and as “Reids” it continues to be known although the official name assigned was Holstein Presbyterian. The present church was erected in the village in 1884â€"the same years later a stone school was built on the present school property. Mr. John Cushnle was the first teacher in the stone school. first school was held in a small house village by an early German settler, “hols”â€"a wood, “stein” a stone; mean- ing a. stony wood. PerhAps a very suitable name at the time although year as Amos. About ten years before this the new Methodist church was built down in the village where it now is. At the time the congregation at “Reids” moved into their new church some or the eastern members were dis- satisfied with the longer distance to go and a Methodist church was built in Yeovil in 1886. The railway went throughin 1880 and 1881. No passengers were carried at Presbyterian church at Reid’s and be- cause of these two facts I think a few notes from their pioneer days will work in well with our own. The name Holstein was given to that first. Travellers had to go to Mount Forest to get the train. Once on a big day, perhaps it was the twelfth of July a flat car loaded with folks from Durham going to the celebration in a town south became detached at the top of the grade opposite Stevenson’s and rolled back into Varney “all by its lonesome”. I’m thinking that some funny sensations were registered in the first few moments of freedom. The train backed up to recover its freight. Mr. Neil McKenzie was the pioneer merchant in Holstein.

Her natural aptitude for this type of instrumental work, together with her wide musical knowledge, brought rapid success and popular favor, coincident with organ engage- ments at the larger Toronto churches and theatres. Since, Radio listeners over an extensive area, have become happily familiar with the name of Kathleen Stokes and the witchery of her magic touch on the organ. For the past eighteen months Miss Stokes has been a featured attraction at the Imperial Theatre on Yonge Street, where her present broadcasts originate. During a recent visit to New York it was her privilege to compare notes with Jesse Crawford and to try her skill upon the giant organ in the Paramount Theatre, under his direc- From her radio audience both far and near, Kathleen Stokes receives many letters of appreciation each Educated at St. Joseph’s Academy, she first won recognition in local musical circle as a brilliant and accomplished pianist. Always her real inclination had been to master the intricacies of organ technique, but whenever she expressed this long-cherished desire she was ad- vised to be content with her pianoforte laurels. she can begin to fulfil in the short time at her disposal. In an endeavor to play as many of them as possible, she often incorporates severai request num- bers into medleys of her own arrange- ment.
