.. (s) _ . that this took place fairly early in the history of the lot. Some of? these people I have mentioned doubtless had it rented, some may have bought it and failed to keep it. Martin Mearow owned an acre on the north east corner, and lived there from before ‘1920 on. After his death the family were still living there in 19g0. In the late 1920's Tom Fowke farmed the lot for several years. The Fowkes owned another farm. not far away in Deck. Tom and his brothers owned a threshing mill and used to thresh for neighbours. One year Tom and Frank Atkinson went out with Torats mill and Frank's tractor. Tom moved to Elk Lake in 1951. The farm was vacant for a 11Uli1- ber of years. In the late 1930's Bert Hosick got the place. Before, there was a house and barn down in the valley. Bert built a house up by the road. There was a barn built up near the road, but I do not know whether Tom Fowke or Bert built it. I am not, sure what became of the old buildings.

It was one of those url- fortunate lots that was stripped early of its timber, and then mortgaged to start farming.

He also owned an adjoining, lot in Deck. There was a small house right on the south west corner of this lot. I do not know whether Tom built it, or whethee he ever lived on either of his lots. I do not know where Hicky's house was, or what became of? it. It is presumed that the house burned in the 1982 fire. There was I someone by the t1atrie of Desjardin lived on the Hicky lot duirg the time Tom Tough owned it, The lot stood vacant for years. In the late 1930's Harvey Rivest got the place. He farmed it until 1957. While there he built a large barn. The writer was \ at the barn raising. In 1957 Charlie Ellerton bought the place from Harvey. He / A . I I
