Beth-Anne Mendez 3 The Water Mill By Sarah Doudly Clarke Listen to the water mill, All the livelong day – How the clicking of the wheel Wears the hours away. Languidly the autumn wind Stirs the greenwood leaves: From the field the reapers sing, Binding up the sheaves; And a memory o’er my mind As a spell is cast – The mill will never grind With the water that is past. Take the lesson to yourself, Loving heart and true; Golden years are fleeting by: Youth is passing, too. Strive to make the most of life, Lose no happy day: Time will never bring you back Chances swept away. Leave no tender word unsaid, Love while love shall last – The mill will never grind With the water that is past. Work while yet the daylight shines, Man of thought and will; Never does the steamlet glide Useless by the mill; Wait not till to-morrow’s sun Beams upon your way, All this you can call your own Lies in this – to-day. Power, intellect and health May not always last – The mill cannot grind With the water that is past. Oh, the wasted hours of life That have drifted by; Oh, the good we might have done, Lost without a sigh: Love we once might have saved 4 By a single word. Tho’ghts conceived but ne’r penned, Perishing unheard. Take the proverb to thine heart, Take! Oh, hold it fast! The mill will never grist With the water that is passed.

Many visitors leave with the perception that life was simpler back then, which is a problematic assumption. The uncomplicated lifestyle that living history sites portray has been critiqued by many academics including Thomas Schlereth head of American Studies at Notre Dame.1 Lang Pioneer Village located just outside of Peterborough, Ontario still offers this type of narrative. Expanding the stories told at Lang to encompass more complex narratives that include social history rather than just milling process mechanics would offer the site many benefits, not only a more accurate version of history but also potentially attracting more visitors and offering them a richer experience. Those sites that have incorporated diverse stories and complex historical narratives have benefitted from increased visitation and have better met visitor expectations. Living history sites offer a place to bring together cutting edge academic work with a wider public. Origins Skansen located in Stockholm, Sweden is generally credited with being the first open-air museum. Founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius, Skansen united “artefacts with their functional context” which “linked the artefact to people, events, 1 Jay Anderson, Time Machines: The World of Living History (Nashville: The American Association for State and Local History, 1984), 73. 9 and places in a novel way.”2 Living history museums crossed the ocean to take form in North America as house museums.

THE LAST DAYS CHAPTER I THE EARLY DAYS Richard Harding Davis was born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1864, but, so far as memory serves me, his life and mine began together several years later in the three-story brick house on South Twenty-first Street, to which we had just moved. For more than forty years this was our home in all that the word implies, and I do not believe that there was ever a moment when it was not the predominating influence in page 2 / 485 Richard's life and in his work. As I learned in later years, the house had come into the possession of my father and mother after a period on their part of hard endeavor and unusual sacrifice. It was their ambition to add to this home not only the comforts and the beautiful inanimate things of life, but to create an atmosphere which would prove a constant help to those who lived under its roof--an inspiration to their children that should endure so long as they lived.

  • Holt Renfrew's 175Th Birthday
    NEWSLETTER The Town of York Historical Society ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ September 2012 Vol. XXVIII No. 3 This year Canadians celebrate a number of CANADIAN RETAILER anniversaries. 50 years ago medicare was introduced CELEBRATES 175 YEARS in Saskatchewan; 100 years ago the Grey Cup and the Calgary Stampede were inaugurated; 200 years ago the Americans declared war on Britain and invaded her territories in Upper and Lower Canada. At the time, many “Canadians” and First Nations joined in their defence. 25 years later, rebellions took place in both Canadas against the same British rule that had been fought for previously. Also in 1837, a new monarch ascended to the throne – the young Victoria – who would rule Britannia and Canada for more than 60 years. In the year of our current Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, we recognize the 175th anniversary of a Canadian retailer who, during Queen Victoria’s reign, became furrier to generations of British royalty. In 1947, Holt Renfrew & Co. was chosen by the Canadian government to design a wedding present for Princess Elizabeth. It was a coat of wild Labrador mink. Many North American women owned furs at the time, but the harsh realities of post-war Britain are evident in the photograph at left in which one man, fists clenched, has not doffed his hat. Princess Elizabeth in her Holt’s mink, a wedding gift from Canada, 1947 Continued on page 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ James Scott Howard’s Family Bible Finds Its Way Home On a hot day last August a young couple delivered a very special gift to Toronto’s First Post Office: a bible they had bought at an estate sale.

  • Rebellion Document Uncovered: John “Daddy” Hall's Involvement
    Rebellion Document Uncovered: John “Daddy” Hall’s Involvement Confirmed Peter Meyler1 Researcher Guylaine Petrin has discovered one of the most interesting documents relating to John “Daddy” Hall. Hall is one of the most well-known members of Grey County’s early African Canadian community, and had a very storied life. He was said to have been between 102 and 117 years old at the time of his death, had five or six wives, and up to 21 children. “Daddy” Hall was of First Nations and African heritage. He scouted for Tecumseh during the War of 1812, was captured and taken into slavery by Virginian soldiers and eventually escaped by swimming the Ohio River, after thirteen years in slavery. Hall subsequently migrated to the Toronto area and this is where Guylaine Petrin’s discovery comes into play. During Hall’s time in the Toronto area, he was taken as a hostage by the rebels during the 1837 Rebellion. Two newspaper articles published while Hall was alive mention this event. The first, from the Toronto Evening Star article entitled “John Hall, Aged 112” and subtitled “An Owen Sound Negro, Who Fought in 1812 and 1837 – A Slave in the South, was published on October 8, 1895. It includes the following information: He also says that he served in the rebellion of 1837-38, under Captain Fuller of London, previous to which he had removed to Newmarket, where his home was raided by the rebels. Prominent Owen Sound lawyer, H. G. Tucker, noted the following in an article published in the Boston Globe of October 5, 1897: After the close of the war (of 1812) he made his way to Toronto, squatting on the Humber River, where he farmed, fished, and made Indian bark wood for a living.
