A large property set aside for the mainly English pioneers in this area. William Fitzpatrick at 87 seems to have been the oldest here 1819-1906, and just short of Queen Victoria's reign and timeline. James B. Lethbridge at age one is the youngest 1870-1871. Charlie Shain was 2 1869-1872 along with Margaret McMillen 1862-1865. As usual some of the names here are found, in various versions, on road names in the area. I am unsure if the sign was a mistake or if that's how Harrietsville was spelt back in the day. A few badly worn headstones, not present. I found a few images from 1910. It looks like the railway paralleled the north , south road[Elgin Rd. #73] beside the grain business. In fact his driveway was part of it , it looks like.
