Mr. Taylor bought all kinds of farm produce. They sent the oats to Stayner, Orillia or Collingwood. The wheat and barley went to Guelph, the nearest railway. There was no post- omce at this time. The teams would. leave on Monday morning for Guelph and arrive home on Saturday bringing the mail with them from Orchardvilie. They applied to the government for a post office. It was granted and re- quested them to send in a name which “We all "did well”. This was the first sale. In a few years they took up land on the west of the Jaflray farm where new buildings were put up close to the small load. In fact some have said he could have carried lt on his back. These men each bought an axe and paid for them and Mr. Taylor said years. When his father came out they took up land on the second concession one lot north of the corner at the eighteenth. In 1860 they moved back into the township and started a store on the Jaflray farm which is the east flity acres of the present farm. The first store was back from the conces- sion about thirty rods. Mostly it was called “Taylor’s store” but sometimes it was referred to as the “Egremont store”. The night he arrived Mr. Snell and James Isaac wallcd up to see his wares.

WALLPAPER Mr. William Hunter came out from Scotland in 1854. A few years later he took up land now owned by his son, W. H. Hunter. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were members of the church of Eng- land. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Coleridge attended the services held in S. 8. No. 12 every Sunday. Mrs. Coleridge was a. splendid singer and led the singing. The Rev. Mr. McGuirewho came from Dal-hem was the minister. After same you: these two females attended the were Mr. and Mrs. John Patterson. Mr. Patterson was precentor in Or- chardvllle church for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Brown came in about the same time, 1853. Money was very scarce and Mrs. Brown, being a splen- dld needle woman worked fine crochet taking it to Durham to sell. Once after walking to Durham and back on a. very cold winter’s day it was found that her feet were badly frozen. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Henry were pioneers, too. They settled on the farm now owned by Arthur Lee. They were the first to come to Amos look- ing for services. From No. 13 let us turn our atten- tion to No. 12, often spoken of as Hunter's or Henry’s school. Years ago it may have been called Wilder’s school. first place in our township for the number of students it has turned out who have done better than ordinm andnotalittleof theoreditisd'ueto the teachers who gave them primary education. Mrs. Laughton was the first teacher at a huge salary of one hund- red and fifty dollars with about seventy pupilsâ€"earned wouldn’t it be? Some of the later teachers were Mr. Mgmon, a half brother of Mr. Ramage; Mr. Bob- ert Bell, who then lived on the Lothian farm. The late Mr. James Sharpe of Holstein and Mr. John Kerr of Varney both have taught in No. 13, Mr. Cowan, Mr. McNiven and Mr. Ewers, also Joseph Snell and George Cushnle, and for many years James Coleridge. . A few of those who have.made their mark in educational and professional lines are Dr. Joseph Snell, LLD. prin- cipal of Normal School in Saskatche- wan, four teachers and a lawyer from the Coleridge family, and an editor and choir leader from the Ramage home, a minister from the Leggat family, a Doctor from Leith’s, a minister in'Aus- trails. and our township treasurer from Hastie’s and Miss Minnie Halpenny a deaconess in the west. Now put on your thinking cap and take account of all those other teachers and business peOple who wherever they are reflect credit on Number Thirteen. At one period the village had a photograph gallery. The first was a travelling caravan on wheels who stayed until they had taken a likeness of everyone in the community then moved on to the next village. The second one was stationary but did not flourish long. The first resident doctor was Dr. Mc- Kenzie. Dr. John Leith practised here for a short time also. Dr. Bird was the next medical man and he was fol- lowed by Dr. Sneath who built up' a large and successful practice in his thirty-four years of service.
