1880 map showing where lot 13 con 13 [red border] is but most people didn't
own the entire 200 acres. At this time A.D. McDonald owned much of the lot and
John Dodson owned the lot to the east (Sam Blackmore's father-in-law). You can
see where Highway 11 cuts off the bottom right corner and the grey area next to
it is where the general store [below left] was that had the post office and gas
pumps, plus the school and church. Then there was a railway easement across
lot 13 to chop up the lot more. Fred Warnica's farm was where the D. is in
A.D. McDonald. The picture of Sheard's Lumberyard [below right] would be just
above the K in Painswick. |
Coxmill Road, the road that led to John Blackmore's farm. About 100 feet behind the
horse and buggy and bridge would be where John's farm would start and it fronted
onto this road. This road passed through the Cox's property who had a mill on the left where the Tollendal creek ran and why the train bridge was needed. The bridge was originally called "Longbridge" but was changed to Coxmill later. All the dirt building the ramp approch to the bridge was hauled by blacks with wheelbarrow, brought up from the U.S.A. as cheap labour in the 1850s. |
