SEABROOK FARM S.W.1/4 OF LOT 15 Nelson King purchased this farm from Dr. McCourt before the turn of the century. Having married Bessie Hill, he settled here and they raised a family of eleven. The family called their farm "Elmbrook" from the tall, graceful elms which grow along the spring creek. This creek is a definite asset as it never goes dry. In the early twenties Mr. and Mrs. Nelson King retired and moved to Thessalon. The farm was purchased by their two sons, Stewart and Alex. Stewart soon after married Minnie Martineau and a while later Alex married Annie Berridge. Their partnership was dissolved. In 1931 the farm changed hands again. This time it was bought by Frank Seabrook, who moved here with his wife and family of six. Four children were born here. Mr. Seabrook continued to farm until his death in 1950. The business was carried on by two sons,- Reginald and Ronald,- dairy products being the chief source of income. An old shed was torn down in 1950 and replaced with a building to accomodate a car and tractor. Beef, pork and cream were the main source of income and geese were raised for Christmas delivery. In l954 Reginald married Shirley Owens and in 1956 Ronald married Rachel Weir, who lived for a time at the farm home. The barn, built in 1898, has seen many changes and renovations. A milker and spray cooler were installed in 1955, the milk being shipped to the Thessalon Dairy and later to Model Dairy. Reginald, now owner, sold his milk quota one year later to Roger Fremlin of Desbarats. He also works at the Forestry. A new frame house replaced the old in 1970.(the family consisting of four boys and two girls in 1972). Mrs. Frank Seabrook still lives in the older house. There is a herd of fifty-five Hereford cattle. Buildings, Aerial View Typing- Jean Maclean
