page 2 2015 President’s Message

Dear Exhibit On behalf of the Markham and East York Agricultural Society, I would like to welcome you to our 171st Markham Fair.

It’s hard to believe that our fair, being the largest four day fair in Canada, began as a group of farmers who met regularly to discuss topics such as crop improvement and herd health. What was once a small competition among farmers showcasing their crops from harvest has since grown into the wide range of entries and educational displays we see today.

Markham Fair is a proud country tradition that continues to teach our younger genera- tions about the importance agriculture plays in our every day lives. As our community grows, we look to add new attractions and ideas each year into our fair to encourage those new members to join in our annual tradition. Whether it’s the home craft displays, the livestock shows, or the excitement of the Monster Trucks roaring over top of cars, there truly is something for everyone young and old.

All of this, of course, would not be possible without the many committee members and volunteers who give countless hours towards the organizing of the fair. Our displays and livestock shows would not be possible without the participants who dedicate their time into bringing animals, produce, crafts, or cherished antiques to the fair. I would like to extend a sincere thank-you to all for bringing life to our buildings, and reminding us of our heritage.

As part of our mission statement, “to honour our traditions for decades to come”, I invite you to join in the fun at this year’s fair, and create a new family tradition if it isn’t one already!

As Markham-Stouffville Hospital had not yet been built, Bryant was born at Scarborough Centenary Hospital, on June 16th, 1979,the ﬁ rst of four children. His parents Thea (Brus) and Paul (John Paul) Hulshof brought to their marriage a love of the land and farming. Thea hails from an idyllic small town in Quebec - Ayer’s Cliff, where the Brus family are heavily involved in their local Fair as well as 4-H. Both of their families emigrated from Holland in the early 1950’s and took up dairy farming in Canada. The Hulshof’s settled in Altona , but were expropriated by the Provincial Government in 1970 and the family moved to their current location on Bloomington Sideroad and Kennedy Rd. in Stouffville. Bryant’s sister Michelle, and brother, Brad are Directors of the Fair, contributing on many fronts. Despite the fact that she resides in Ottawa, sister, Natalie, takes time off from her job to participate as a very active member during Fair time and helps out wherever she can. Youngest brother Brad and his wife Lieke, who is also a volunteer, have provided Bryant with a niece Johanna, born in 2012. Both Thea and Paul volunteer many hours, while still looking after their dairy herd during Fair time and are on a number of committees, providing extensive support to the organization. As a 4-H leader for over thirty years Paul can claim responsibility for encouraging many young, Fair participants.

Bryant grew up on the family dairy farm, attending St. Mark’s Elementary School and Stouffville High School, in Stouffville. He then studied agriculture at the U. Of Guelph, graduating in 2000 and continued farming until 2010. At that time Bryant joined Grifﬁ th Property Services and utilized his skills in the construction division as well as operating his own farms in Leaskdale, and Woodville .

Lori (Howard) grew up on a beef farm in Newmarket and in 1995 took part in a 4-H exchange to B.C., where she and Bryant met. They became close friends, sharing their involvement in the Fair and married on Aug. 14th, 2004. Lori was very active in 4-H where she showed rabbits and ran homemaking and outdoor clubs, ultimately pursuing a career as a Veterinarian Techni- cian. As a member of the Hulshof clan, Lori is also a notable presence during Fair time and is, of course, very supportive of Bryant in this year of his Presidency. Lori’s Mother, Debbie Howard, volunteers, in the Information Booth at the Fair, while Dad, Don holds down the farm. Brother Michael, along with Lori’s niece and nephew are long time Fair attendees. Lori was Fair Queen on the 25th Anniversary of that event, in 1997, giving the Hulshof family the distinction of providing both a Fair President and a Fair Queen!

Bryant and Lori have three children. Emily, age four, Tyler age seven and Aiden age 9. The children are very much a part of the Fair, participating energetically in the “week-end before” set-up and the clean-up, after the Fair. Although all three children are more than familiar with agriculture and rural living, Bryant sees son Aiden as the future Hulshof farmer as he is tireless in helping with haying chores on the family farms.

The Seeley family are credited with inspiring Bryant’s passion for the Fair. His ﬁ rst committee being Parking, then becoming a Director for the past sixteen years and co-chairing Special Attractions for seven years. As ﬁ rst vice-president in 2014, Bryant was instrumental in President Winnitoy’s re-design of hard surfaces, on the Fair property .

As a member of the Executive, Bryant’s extensive experience has humbled him making him more aware of the burden of responsibility on a Past President. He values the insight provided by those who have provided leadership in the past and is committed to addressing the challenge of managing the Fair’s growth and viability, going forward.

page 65 WALTER BROWN MILNE PRESIDENT 1915

By Myra Chepack

Born in 1875 to Euphemia (Brown) and Robert Milne, Walter was the second of six children. William W., born eight years after Walter, in 1883, married Lillian B. Holtby and produced Reta, who married Earl Shirk, of Locust Hill. Arthur Lawson Milne and Christina L. never married and stayed on at the farm, as did Walter. Brothers Robert and David did marry, with further details available later in this text. The home farm was located on the north side of Hwy. #7, east of Green River. Broth- er Robert Alexander married Mary Anne Malcolm and farmed the land adjacent to the Milne farm to the east. Next to that location was the highly respected home farm of the Malcolm family. Robert and Mary Anne had one daughter, Mary Christina (1917 – 1987) who married Sydney Beare, a very recognizable name even to-day in our area. It is hoped their daughters Margaret Christina and Heather Anne and/or their offspring, might attend the Fair of 2015 to celebrate the past and present of the Milne line.

At the time of Walter’s passing, he had served on the Fair board for over 50 years and was a judge of horses at Markham Fair as well as other Fall Fairs. He was a member of the South Ontario Ploughmen’s Association and did consider- able judging at many ploughing matches. St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Markham counted Walter among their congrega- tion, where he served on the Board of Directors. He also served on the cemetery board of St. John’s in Brougham. Walter was on the Committee of Fenceviewers. This group of local farmers were responsible for enforcing the integrity of fencing utilized in keeping cattle conﬁ ned. They ensured the required distance between ‘rails’ as well as the distance between ‘posts’ was adhered to.

The Malcolm family, into which Walter’s brother, Robert Alexander, married, appears to have shared many of the same endeavours as Walter Milne. James Thomas Bain Malcolm, uncle to Robert’s wife, was President of the Fair in 1908. Her brother, John Howard Malcolm, served on several of the same boards as Walter.

The Brown name, well known and respected in Brougham, also united the Milne and Malcolm families, as Walter’s Mother was a Brown and John Howard Malcolm’s wife was Minnie Brown.

Walter’s oldest brother David (George) married Elizabeth Pearse and farmed the Brown farm on lot 28 Conc. 2 until 1937. Their son, Donald Brown Milne married Laura Petty and carried on in his father’s footsteps, farming the same property in Cherrywood. David and Elizabeth named one of their sons for Walter and also produced David, Lorne and Margaret.

Walter Brown Milne died in his eighty-eighth year, at Briarbush Hospital in Stouffville, which no longer exists but was the birth place of many of to-day’s local residents. He is interred at Erskine Cemetery, located at Finch Ave. and Fairport Rd. in Pickering along with his parents, sister, Christina L. and brothers Arthur Lawson and Robert Alexander and Mary Anne (Mal- colm) Milne.

In researching this Fair President a glimpse of a gentler time emerged. Green River was a tiny community but had an integrated relationship with the sparse collection of far fl ung farms and shreds of commerce. Although dedicated to their land, families and neighbours, civic duties were also addressed. Today’s Fair Family refl ects this same supportive and dedicated at- titude. May the Fair continue to fl ourish while retaining these òld fashioned’ values.

He was dedicated to Franklin Hotel, located on the west side of Main Street in community service and rests with his fi rst wife Elizabeth E. Markham just north of the Town Hall (which is used as an Jerman in the town he served so well. offi ce building, to-day). James ultimately purchased the Wel- lington Hotel, owned by Capt. Wm. Armstrong. This was a fi fteen acre property known as Lot 10, Conc. 8 and was located south and west of Hwy. #48 (Markham Main Street) and Hwy. #7. At that time it would have been Main Street and Old Wel- lington. James demolished the Wellington Hotel and built a “handsome brick home”. It wa from this location that James Torrance bred and raised prize winning Clydesdale horses. He made numerous trips across the ocean to Scotland to person- ally purchase them. He was a keen exhibitor of Clydesdales at the C.N.E. and a consistent exhibitor at the Fair, which, of course at that time was conveniently located just to the east of his property. His prize winning stock were offered for stud, making two stops per day, as advertised in the Economist and Sun. Local Hotels seemed to be the locations most frequented and occasionally an individual farm was visited. The itinerary of these steeds reads like the concert tour of an international performer!

James married Elizabeth E. Jerman (May 12, 1873 – Aug. 7, 1905), in 1897 in Markham. She was the daughter of Anne Armstrong (1849 – 1877) and John Jerman (1838- 1926), a blacksmith who also built wagons and furniture. John Jerman served as a councillor in 1873, when the village of Markham became incorporated. A position he held until 1882. Anne (Armstrong) and John Jerman also had a second daughter, Jennie, who died before her second birthday. The Jermans are buried at Grace Church Cemetery, Markham.
