In the township where we live much remains the same today
as it was 100 years ago. It is not unusual to see a horse
and buggy passing by, hearing its wheels grinding on gravel
and the familiar clip-clop of the horse’s hooves. In the fresh
morning air the mist rises from the ground cloaking distant
trees in mystery. I am told that one of the original settlers
Fred Mc Neil passed this way on his way to the market every
couple of weeks, to sell his hand crafted boots and leather
goods at the local market and then picking up the necessities
of life for the return trip home. Life was hard work in those
days, but uncomplicated by the frustrations that we face today.
Fred’s dog Sampson always looked forward to the journey
as it was a chance to find some wildlife to chase and the
reward of some food when they arrived at the market.
Sampson outlived Fred and his wife Mary, but still kept up
the tradition of walking the road looking for squirrels or
anything else that would play the game with him.
