In September 1897, Father started to teach in Greenwood
School.... Times were hard but not desperate. A look
at the minutes of the school trustee meetings indicates
that the very small salary paid to Father was often long
overdue (firewood being supplied on occasion as part of
the salary). Sometimes credit for the purchase of groceries
would be provided at the local store by resolution of the
school board. There were, however, many things to sustain
us in the more difficult period of our life. In our home
in Greenwood, and in all our subsequent homes, Bible reading
and family prayer were daily and rewarding experiences.
No meal was ever begun until grace had been said. On
Sundays we went to church and Sunday School at Uxbridge.
Although I was only four, I was allowed to go to school
in Greenwood; before starting I knew how to read, having
learned in order to understand the thermometer on page one
of the Globe, which gave the 'Weather forecast each day.
Our home in Greenwood had a tremendous growth.of lilacs in
the yard and was most attractive every spring. There was
a hill by our house. It must have been a quarter of a mile
long with a very sharp gradient. In winter, older boys went
down it on double -decked sleds. I thought I could do.this
too. Down I went. All at once there loomed in front of
me a team of horses pulling a milk car. I passed between
their front and hind legs, scraping the top of my head on
the cart tongue. Had I raised my head, I could have been
decapitated: Another recollection is that we children
were very frightened of a most distinguished man, the
greatest criminal lawyer of his time, T.C. Robinette. He
came out on Sundays to visit his wife to be, Miss Green.
We were very frightened of him because we had heard that
he defended men who had killed others. We thought he must
be very wicked to do this. When, many years later, I was
honoured by being called to the.bar of Upper Canada, his
son, the distinguished counsel J.J. Robinette, Q.C., was
Treasurer of the Upper Canada Law Society.
I have always thought of Greenwood as one of the most
beautiful areas in Ontario, and so strongly did I feel that
I could not but take strong objection to the Government of
Canada taking over the fine agricultural land and magnificent
old homes in the Greenwood area for a new airport. The face
of this countryside deserves to remain unspoiled.

Originally situated at the base of the village hill some of the shops' early
Smithys were, Michael Ryan, Mr. Virtue, Geo. Law, and in 1884 Wm.
Beaton. Walter Wilson, grandson of pioneer Richard Wilson, served
most of his life, from 1906, as the village Blacksmith. His forging skills,
expertise at horseshoeing and craftsmanship were known far and wide.
He retired in 1959 at age 86. In 1967 the shop was relocated in
Brougham but returned to the Pickering Museum in Greenwood in
1979. Here a Blacksmith can once more be seen demonstrating his
ancient arts for enthralled spectators visiting the museum.
