As well, families were large by today‘s standards; 8, 10, 12 children were commonplace; 14, 16 and even 18! But families managed. They were content with what they had.

Beginning at the north of the township, Con. 14, the accounts received proceed southward along The Great North Road (now Hwy. 124) to the most southerly homes, Lot 29, Con. A and Lot 29, Con. B.

Our thanks to those who researched and wrote down and gave these interesting facts, with pictures of those involved, are hereby expressed. The Curator
