He was the first man to begin a business there and in going back to the old times he appears to kave had a hand in helpâ€" ing many another to get a start also. Mr Taylor came from _ Aberdeen, Bectlard about 1855. He had a store in Toronto for a few . years. _ When his father came out they took up land an the second concession, one lot north of the corner at the 18th. In 1860 they moved back into the townâ€" ship and started a store on the Jafâ€" fray farm which is the east fifty acâ€" res of the present farm. . The first about thirty rods. Mostly it was calâ€" led ‘Taylor‘s Store" but sometimes it was referred to as the ‘Egremont Store." The night he arrived Mr Snell and James Isaac walked up to see his wares. The store goods were only a small loau: in fact some have said he could have carried it on his back. These men each bought an axe, paid for them and Mr Taylor said ‘Weall did well.‘ This was the first sale. In a few years they took up land on the west side of the Jaffray farm, where new buildings were put up close to the concession line. _ The store being the front part of the dwelling, was auded to three differâ€" ent times as business increased. Mr Tayler bought all kinds of farm proâ€" ducts. They sent the oats to Orilla, Stayner er Collingwood and the wheat and barley went to Guelph, the nearâ€" est railway. There was no post office at this time. The teams would leave on Monday morning for Guelph and arrive home on Saturday, bringing them from Orchardville. They apâ€" plied to the Government for a postâ€" office.. It was grantec and requested them to send in a name which they did. But there was an office by that mame so they had to choose again. Dromore was the suggestion of a cusâ€" tamer and Dromore it still is. East of Dromore the people were highland Scotch, many of them havâ€" ing the Gaelic. One woman had only a few words of English. She brought in her trade and said to Mr Taylor: "Hore‘s the butter and the eggs and Donal‘s coming wi‘ the (h)English." Many not accustomed to Canadian money would lay a handful of coins on the counter and say ‘take what Excelient History cf Oromore Sectionand its Residents, prepared and read at Dromore Women‘s institute by aDescerdant cf one of its earliest residents, Miss Bessic Drimmie ing establishmcnt and James Renâ€" wick was‘ the first blacksmith. _ The first sawmill was on lot 14 con 17, now owned by Thos. Brown. It was bullt by Robert Kemp who ran it for a few years, then sold it to Davis brothers. Finally it was burned. _A company was formed and a new mill was built on the present property. It was cperated by Robert and Thos. Renwick and the late John Adams,.â€" Mr Adams and Tom Renwick later taking up land. The mill has been running about 55 years, Robt. Renâ€" wick being the only owner until purâ€" chased by Tom Johnston a few years ago. John Renton came to Dromore 50 years ago last month from Boothâ€" ville. He plied his trade for many their own farm.

Mr Taylor put up shops and got these tradesmen to work.

The first wasa travelling caravan on wheels which stayed until they had taken a likeâ€" ness of everyone .n the community, then moved on to the next village. The second one was more stationary but did not flourish long. The first resident doctor was Dr. McKenzie. Dr John Leith practices here for a short time also. Dr Bird was the next medical man and he was followed by Dr Sneath, who built up a large and successful practice in his thirty four years of service. The Dromore school across or the other concession was first a log schâ€" ool near the back of the lot where the present stone school now stands. Dromore school holds first place in our township for the number of stuâ€" dents it has turned out who have done better than ordinary and not a little credit is due to the teachers who gave them primary education. Mrs Laughton was the first teacher at the huge salary of $150.00 ! She had about 70 pupils. _ Earned, would it not be? â€" Some of the later teachâ€" ers were Sandy Ferguson, a half brother of Charles and Wm. Ramage; Rovert Bell, who then lived on the Lothian farm; the late James Sharpe of Holstein, Mr John Kerr, Varney ; Mr H.

Jas Calvert, Alex Tayâ€" lor and Robert Renwick directed and financed the building at a time when morsy was very scarce. Jas ‘Hfstie, .John Allan, Jas Leask, John Drimmie and James Calvert were the memâ€" bers of the Session at this time. The service of praise was led by a preâ€" centor, Mr Hastie, James Renton and W. W. Ramage, doing their share to previde good music. _ One incident which showed the opposition to the installing of the first organ.

The following .poem was writtenâ€"by J. J. Hastie and read at the opening Soiree of our church, Dec. 22, 1884 : ' Mr Chairman Sir:â€"It pleasant is ery Sunday.

Their happiness, their joy came from the accomplishment of a great task, the making of a home in a new land. How well they succeeded. Our work is the keeping of these homes in the faith and honor in which they were founded.

These few history notes about our church would be incompiete if specâ€" ial mention were not made of Mr Jno. Findlay, Mr Robert Renwick and the late Geo. Lothian. All were memâ€" bers of the Session. All three took a very active interest in the . Sunday School. For some twenty odd years Mr Findlay looked after the business and financial interests of the church. Mr Lothian was a faithful member of the choir under the leadership of Mr Ramage and Mr Renwick has long ‘been a faithful teacher," elder and a leader in ail church work at In a letter from a pioneer resident he speaks of the great changes which have taken place in the last seventy years. â€" Log buildings have become comfortable homes: virgin forest has become fine farm lands and these farm homes are equipped with teleâ€" phone, radio and electric light,. Inâ€" stead of walking we travel by motâ€" or car. Aeroplanes are not a novelty any more. Self binders and mowers do the work of the cradle and scythe anué our cream separators have done away with the milk pans cocled at the spring. These things our pioneers scarcely imagined. Some of the early names in â€" conâ€" nection with this community that T have not already mentioned were the Leslie‘s, Garson‘s, Myers, (Nelson‘s, Ferguson‘s, Henderson‘s, Camp‘s Mcâ€" Donald‘s, Shearer, Smail‘s, Clark‘s. Auotner interesting character who lived in this district was Alexander Glendenting. He lived on the farm opâ€" posite Stanley Williams. The late Alex Miine lived on this farm after Mr GlenGenning‘s death. Mr Glenâ€" denring was a carpenter by trade but a poet by inclination. Some of his verses are still to be found in pionâ€" cer homes.
