MURDER VICTIM MRS. E. PILLSWORTH WIDELY<br />

MOURNED — Mrs. Elbert C.<br />

Pillsworth, 30,<br />

fatally assaulted<br />

in her home at<br />

Brampton on<br />

Saturday evening.<br />

Jan. <strong>12</strong>, is widely<br />

mourned by a host<br />

of friends not only<br />

in Brampton but<br />

also in <strong>Woodbridge</strong>,<br />

Orangeville and<br />

other Peel County<br />

communities.<br />

Collapsing near the<br />

<strong>ca</strong>ll for help, she<br />

He had rushed home from<br />

his Brampton radio store<br />

after advised by the telephone<br />

operator that something<br />

was wrong. She died<br />

in a Toronto hospital the following<br />

for information leading to<br />

apprehension and conviction<br />

of there murderer.<br />

Until two and a half years ago,<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Pillsworth had<br />

and later opened his radio store in<br />

Brampton. Their two children,<br />

Linda, four years, and Donald,<br />

Toronto and still unaware of their<br />

tragic loss.<br />

Mrs. Pillsworth was the former Mary<br />

Palgrave, Shiloh, King, and Black Horse Methodist Church circuit. Mr.<br />

Rutledge, retiring from his monument business in Orangeville recently on<br />

account of ill health, was in Florida with Mrs. Rutledge on a holiday hoping to<br />

regain some of his former vigor. They returned by plane for the funeral which<br />

was held on Wednesday.<br />

COMPULSORY MOTOR INSURANCE — Compulsory insurance for<br />

Saskatchewan motorists is regarded as virtually certain, reports The Financial<br />

Post. Main Point remaining undecided is whether drivers shall be allowed to<br />

choose any insurance company they prefer, or whether they will be required<br />

to deal with the Government Insurance Office.<br />

CERSWELL COW HAS MONTH'S RECORD OF 1,037 LBS. BUTTERFAT —<br />

Princess Abbekerk Texal Fayne, a member of the Holstein herd of C. J.<br />

Cerswell, of Beeton, has just completed a yearly Record of<br />

Performance test of 1,037 lbs. fat from 25,701 lbs milk, average<br />

test 4,.03% butterfat. Made on three-times-a-day milking as a<br />

five-year-old, this is the largest record reported from any part<br />

of the Dominion during the past month. Last year she stood<br />

third for fat in the honor list with her twice-a-day milking fouryear-old<br />

record of 754 lbs. milk.<br />

Her production was expected to be larger but unfortunately<br />

she suffered an injury that crippled her for a month of two<br />

and cut down her productions. She received no special <strong>ca</strong>re,<br />

running regularly with the rest of the herd.<br />

A granddaughter of the noted Lonelm Texal Fayne, she was<br />

bred by W. Witherspoon, <strong>Woodbridge</strong>, and was Grand<br />

Champion at the 1944 Simcoe County Black and White<br />

Show held at Beeton.<br />

HAVE CROKINOLE PARTY, Macville — The first of a<br />

series of community crokinole parties is begin held this<br />

evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Strong.<br />

BANQUET FOR SERVICEMEN, Maple — Mr. and Mrs.<br />

Howard Knight of Maple Villa were host and hostess to<br />

a complimentary banquet given in honor of the boys of<br />

Maple who served in the armed forces, their ladies and<br />

Maple Knit-Wit club, on Friday evening. December 28.<br />

The toast to the guests was proposed by Mr. Knight<br />

and responded to by Miss Marion Wason, president of<br />

the Knit-Wit club, and Lorne Wells on behalf of the<br />

boys. Mr. Evans of Toronto led an enjoyable sing song<br />

and Jack Holland, magician, mystified the audience<br />

with his performance. As the Knit-Wit club has<br />

ceased activities, they presented the boys with initialed<br />

wallets as a small tribute to them for the<br />

services they have enjoyed during the remainder of<br />

the evening.<br />

HOW FAR CAN A DOG TRAVEL ON HIS OWN?<br />

Several years ago T. A. Fec, a Vancouver architect,<br />

shipped his dog, a Canadian Airdale, by express<br />

from his British Columbia home to his brother-inlaw,<br />

This. Paton, at Ardrossan, a station on the<br />

Canadian National Railways, 16 miles east of<br />

Edmonton, Alta. The charges were prepaid and<br />

money given for food and <strong>ca</strong>re for Buster all<br />

the way to his destination.<br />

Time passed, however, and Buster failed to<br />

show up. The railroad company produced a<br />

receipt showing that Airedale had been delivered<br />

to Edmonton. But after that the trail ran<br />

out. Buster was given up fro lost.<br />

Imagine Mr. Fee's surprise and joy six weeks later<br />

when his Airedale <strong>ca</strong>me walking into the yard! Buster was thin and tired<br />

and foot-sore, as if he had been traveling without any rest.<br />

When his master <strong>ca</strong>me to check distances, he found the dog had covered 770<br />

miles. From Edmonton to Vancouver there was no travelled road except the<br />

railroad track, and this passes through and over three chains of mountains.<br />

Add to that the fact that two-thirds of the way hadn't any homes along the<br />

way except the railroad section houses, and it be<strong>ca</strong>me clear what a feat Buster<br />

had achieved.<br />

How this Airdale had been able to pick the right one of <strong>12</strong> railroads converging<br />

on Edmonton; how he had managed to find food through all those long<br />

weeks and how, strangest of all, he had known those steel tracks would surely<br />

lead him home will always remain one of the great mysteries of superhuman<br />

animal intelligence!<br />

SUFFERS SKATE CUT, Malton — Margaret Coulson 8-year-old daughter of Mr.<br />

and Mrs. Norman Coulson, is in the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, as a<br />

result of compli<strong>ca</strong>tions arising from a skate cut received while playing near<br />

her house a week ago. She is now getting along very nicely.

WOODSTOCK NOSTALGIA<br />

SHOW AND SALE<br />

The Reader, The Writer, and<br />

The Lion<br />

A lion comes across two men, one reading and the<br />

other writing. The beast pounces on and devours the<br />

reader but ignores the writer.<br />

Why? Be<strong>ca</strong>use, as everyone knows, a writer cramps<br />

while a reader digests.<br />

The Anxious Poodle<br />

Poodle: “My life is a mess. My owner is mean, my girlfriend<br />

is leaving me for a German shepherd, and I’m<br />

nervous as a <strong>ca</strong>t.”<br />

Collie: “Why don’t you go see a psychiatrist?”<br />

Poodle: “I <strong>ca</strong>n’t. I’m not allowed on the couch.”<br />

The Impatient Flea<br />

Tired of waiting in the back of the line to get on Noah’s<br />

Ark, a flea jumps from one animal to another as she<br />

moves closer to the front.<br />

She leaps and leaps until she lands on the back of an<br />

elephant. The pachyderm turns to its mate and says<br />

testily,<br />

“I knew it! Here they go with the pushing and shoving!”<br />

A Penguin Walks Into…<br />

A penguin walks into a bar, goes to the counter, and<br />

asks the bartender,<br />

“Have you seen my brother?”<br />

The bartender says, “I don’t know. What does he look<br />

like?”<br />

A Panda Walks Into…<br />

A panda walks into a bar and gobbles some beer nuts.<br />

Then he pulls out a gun, fires it in the air, and heads<br />

for the door.<br />

“Hey!” shouts the bartender, but the panda yells back,<br />

“I’m a panda. Google me!” Sure enough, panda:<br />

“A tree-climbing mammal with distinct black-andwhitecoloring.<br />

Eats shoots and leaves.”<br />

A Grasshopper Hops Into…<br />

A grasshopper hops into a bar. The bartender says,<br />

“You’re quite a celebrity around here. We’ve even got a<br />

drink named after you.”<br />

The grasshopper says, “You’ve got a drink named<br />

Steve?”<br />

Chicken Prep<br />

A man walks into a restaurant and says,<br />

“How do you prepare your chickens?”<br />

The cook replies, “Nothing special. We just tell ‘em<br />

they’re gonna die.”<br />

A Duck Walks Into a<br />

Drugstore<br />

A duck walks into a drugstore and asks for a tube of<br />

ChapStick. The <strong>ca</strong>shier says to the duck, “That’ll be<br />

$1.49.” The duck replies, “Put it on my bill.”<br />

Lunch Break<br />

When a squirrel slipped into my house, I did the logi<strong>ca</strong>l<br />

thing: I panicked and <strong>ca</strong>lled my father.<br />

"How do you get a squirrel out of a basement?" I<br />

shrieked.<br />

Dad advised me to leave a trail of peanut butter and<br />

crackers from the basement to the outside. It worked—<br />

the squirrel ate his way out of the house.<br />

Unfortunately, he passed another squirrel eating his<br />

way in.<br />

Flying Problems<br />

A businessman flying first class is sitting next to a parrot.<br />

The plane takes off, and the parrot orders a<br />

Glenlivet, neat. The businessman asks for a Coke.<br />

After a few minutes, the bird yells,<br />

"Where’s my scotch? Give me my scotch!" The flight<br />

attendant rushes over with their drinks.<br />

Later, they order another round. Again, the bird gives<br />

the crew grief for being slow, and the businessman<br />

joins in:<br />

"Yeah, the service stinks!"<br />

Heritage Antique Market<br />

at Centerpoint Mall<br />

heritageantiqueshows.com<br />

Just then, the flight attendant grabs the pair, opens the<br />

hatch, and throws them out of the plane. As they hurtle<br />

toward the ground, the parrot says to the terrified man,<br />

"Wow, that took a lot of guts for a guy with no wings."<br />

Two babies are sitting in<br />

their cribs…<br />

Two babies are sitting in their cribs, when one baby<br />

asks the other, “Are you a little girl or a little boy?”<br />

The other baby shrugs. “I don’t know how to tell the difference.”<br />

“I do,” says the first baby. He <strong>ca</strong>refully climbs out of his<br />

crib and into the other crib, then disappears beneath<br />

the blankets. After a few seconds, he resurfaces.<br />

“You’re a little girl, and I’m a little boy,” he says.<br />

“How <strong>ca</strong>n you tell?”<br />

“Easy. You’ve got pink booties, and I’ve got blue ones.”<br />

Fast Friends<br />

My husband was driving home from work when he was<br />

pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. Two days later—<br />

same ticket, same cop.<br />

“So,” the officer said, “have you learned anything?”<br />

“Yes, I have,” said my husband. “I’ve learned I need to<br />

take a different way home from work.”<br />

The One About The Stand-in<br />

Gorilla<br />

When a zoo’s gorilla dies, the zookeeper hires an actor<br />

to don a costume and act like an ape until the zoo <strong>ca</strong>n<br />

get another one.<br />

In the <strong>ca</strong>ge, the actor makes faces, swings around, and<br />

draws a huge crowd. He then crawls across a partition<br />

and atop the lion’s <strong>ca</strong>ge, infuriating the animal.<br />

But the actor stays in character—until he loses his grip<br />

and falls into the lion’s <strong>ca</strong>ge.<br />

Terrified, the actor shouts, “Help! Help me!” Too late.<br />

The lion pounces, opens its massive jaws, and whispers,<br />

“Shut up! Do you want to get us both fired?!”

CURRENT JANUARY 20<strong>22</strong> THE WOODBRIDGE ADVERTISER PAGE SEVENTEEN<br />

Muskoka‘s Ghost Towns<br />

Most ghost town hunters seem to know the popular Muskoka ghost towns<br />

like: Germania, Uffington, Falkenburg, Cooper's Falls and to a lesser<br />

extent: Monsell and Lewisham. But there are others. Thanks to the book by<br />

Hind and DaSilva, "Ghost Towns of Muskoka", these hamlets have been<br />

brought back to memory. Here are some short bios on each..<br />

ROSSEAU FALLS — Founded on the north shore of Lake Rosseau by Peter<br />

Mutchenbacker, a pioneer from Germany, in 1877. At the mouth of the<br />

Rousseau River he built a saw and shingle mill by harnessing the power of<br />

the falls. Later he had a steam-operated outfit, which meant for a longer<br />

cutting season. There were <strong>ca</strong>bins built for the families and the mill workers.<br />

Peter's home was first made of logs, but his second home was the centrepiece<br />

of the hamlet where he opened a post office and store in 1880.<br />

There were no roads and communi<strong>ca</strong>tion was done by a mail ship. The trees<br />

were depleted by 1928 and the community went into decline. There are remnants<br />

in the bay to this day of the mill. Take Hwy 141 to Rosseau Rd 3 and<br />

drive south to the falls.<br />

DEE BANK — Another short-lived pioneer crossroads milltown. John<br />

Shannon bought land here in 1868 where the Dee River rushes into Three<br />

Mile Lake. Here he built a grist mill. Due to its strategic lo<strong>ca</strong>tion the community<br />

grew to inlcude 2 hotels alongside the bush farms. It was the largest<br />

village in Watt Township. The store and post office was run by John Barber;<br />

there was a tannery, blacksmith, church, school and pop. of 75. It was hit<br />

by two major blows- be<strong>ca</strong>use it was inland the new steamships to<br />

Windermere past it by and the railway bypassed it. Only the school<br />

remains. Take Hwy 141 to Deebank Rd. and head south to the Dee River.<br />

According to friend and fellow Ontario history buff, Gary Long, "Dee Bank<br />

was just a small mill village with a few residences, a school, a store, and of<br />

course the mills. I found a bit of the gristmill foundation on the south side<br />

of the river at the bottom of the falls, and on the north side, the barely discernible<br />

route of the road that formerly crossed a bridge at the top of the<br />

falls and angled up the hillside. The authors of the book might have found<br />

additional foundations, etc. I'm sure if you looked around hard enough in<br />

the woods near the falls, you'd find other remains, though not necessarily<br />

dating back as far as the original village.<br />

Lo<strong>ca</strong>tions of towns weren't always logi<strong>ca</strong>l in terms of terrain. Look at<br />

Bracebridge and Huntsville, the original sections piled on hills when there<br />

was plenty of flat land nearby. Usually the early growth took place closest to<br />

the feature that resulted in the settlement being there. In the <strong>ca</strong>se of<br />

Bracebridge and Dee Bank, that was the falls with its mills, and it's usually<br />

rocky and hilly close to falls."<br />

MILLAR HILL — Considered the high north country when nobody lived<br />

this far north in Muskoka. Here David Millar decided to give bush farming<br />

a whirl in the 1870s. As the trees were removed others joined the settlement<br />

on the hardest terrain imaginable. Joseph Langmeade founded a school,<br />

church and the post office (19<strong>12</strong>-1930). Fred Quinn built a sawmill on the<br />

Boyne R. which brought a boost to the growing community, but later the<br />

sawmill moved to Dwight and Millar Hill went into dire straits. Take Hwy.<br />

60 to Millar Hill Rd. and drive to the end. Foundations <strong>ca</strong>n be found on the<br />

observatory road before u get up to the summit where the radio towers are.<br />

SELDOM SEEN — Founded in the 1870s in an isolated corner of Ma<strong>ca</strong>ulay<br />

Township, south of Fawn Lake, it didn't live long. It got its name as a joke,<br />

meaning they were so far from civilization and the outside world. William<br />

Dennis was the councillor and Alfred Lee was a farmer, teacher and assessor.<br />

There was a store, small sawmill and school. In 1886 the township<br />

moved the school miles away and the villagers were very upset. They rebuilt<br />

another in its place to the dismay of the township. The school closed in<br />

19<strong>12</strong> as the villagers could no longer handle the conditions of their land.<br />

BEATTY'S SIDING — 3 km. west of Swords on the famed Booth railway<br />

was its lo<strong>ca</strong>tion. Here, 20 plus trains per day passed by. The railway<br />

housed rail workers here and a village formed with both farmers and loggers<br />

in 1894. The Ludgate Lumber Co. was the main outfit. The children<br />

went to school in Swords. Ludgate Co. moved out in 1910 and train traffic<br />

dwindled, as did the town.<br />

JERUSALEM — A true ghost town as it is hard to find even in the history<br />

books. The short-lived hamlet was founded in 1866 by Thomas Peacock<br />

deep in a forested valley on a north branch of the Muskoka River. As the<br />

land was painstakingly cleared for crops, 8 buildings were erected; but it is<br />

not known if they were part of a village or of a homestead or two. It was situated<br />

between High Falls Rd., Hwy. 11 and Falkenburg Rd.<br />

BEAR LAKE — Norwegians <strong>ca</strong>me to Canada by the 1000's. Some <strong>ca</strong>me to<br />

Muskoka and settled at Bear Lake in the 1880's. They were offered free land<br />

if they cleared it and worked at the lumber mills. They <strong>ca</strong>lled their settlement<br />

Jarlsberg, and it had a mill, school, store, post office, church and<br />

blacksmith. By 1893 the name was changed to Bear Lake. Only their St.<br />

Olaf's Church, pillars and 2 old buildings remain to this day. Take Hwy.<br />

518 to Bear Lake, east of the Nipissing Colonization Rd.<br />

HOODSTOWN —On the north shore of Lake Vernon a village formed that<br />

was meant to be a major hub for Muskoka. Railways were being built<br />

throughout the rugged terrain. Charles and Janet Hood had a vision and<br />

bought a lot of land as a speculation that 2 major railway lines would one<br />

day meet up at this spot where a small river joined Lake Vernon and Fox<br />

Lake. They <strong>ca</strong>me from Toronto as they had heard of the boom in Muskoka.<br />

Things looked promising in 1877, and by 1889 the Hoods had made a townplan<br />

with 276 lots on 9 streets. There were 3 stores, 3 churches, a post<br />

office, a sawmill, a hotel, a blacksmith and homes. But their speculation<br />

never paid off as the railways bypassed the area. The post office shut down<br />

in 1892 and the townsfolk moved to Hunstville.<br />

EMBERSON — Was the most obscure ghost town of Muskoka during its<br />

brief life. Even written accounts seem to be rumoured memories. But it did<br />

exist. In 1876 on one of Brunel Township's windy, swampy, rocky, treeinfested<br />

roads a community was formed. Henry Jarvis opened the post<br />

office the same year. The children had to travel a distance to school in the<br />

next township over. By 1900 there were 60 brave souls within its confines.<br />

The bush farms and logging <strong>ca</strong>mps lasted until 1910 and its post office<br />

until 1924. Stone foundations exist, though the area has long since been<br />

swallowed up by the forest According to Hinds and Brown it lies 2 km.<br />

north of Muskoka Rd. 11 and 2 km. east of Muskoka Rd. 7. But these directions<br />

make no sense logi<strong>ca</strong>lly. I found an old map that shows Emberson<br />

and it was lo<strong>ca</strong>ted north of Britannia Rd (Cty Rd 10) and west of South<br />

Portage Rd. (Cty Rd 9), which is now a huge forest. Got its post office in<br />

1874. Emberson wasn't really even a village, just a rural post office serving<br />

the farm families in that section. Never had a school or any businesses<br />

other than farms. The section of road that went through Emberson hasn't<br />

been open for many years, though you <strong>ca</strong>n still walk it or mountain bike it.<br />

SOUTH PORTAGE — Is a semi-ghost town mentioned in one of Ron<br />

Brown's books. Lo<strong>ca</strong>ted on the north shore of Lake of Bays it once was<br />

home to the shortest commercial railway line in the world, <strong>ca</strong>lled the<br />

Portage Railway. Its train, <strong>ca</strong>lled "The Portage Flyer", ran less than 2 kms,<br />

and ferried passengers between North Portage on Peninsula Lake and<br />

South Portage in the early 1900's. It lasted until 1958.<br />

NEWS From a Broad<br />

By Tina Johanssen Dedels<br />

Merry Christmas from the Beeton PetroCan Boys!<br />

The list of things I love about my hometown is a long one, so I won’t even attempt to rattle<br />

them all off. Instead, I’ll just name a couple of my faves. That my 92 year old mother, Hazel,<br />

<strong>ca</strong>rries a note in her pocket that says ‘If I drop dead, please <strong>ca</strong>ll Tina’, and people know who<br />

to <strong>ca</strong>ll. And that the ‘place to be’ in our town is the lo<strong>ca</strong>l PetroCan.<br />

There is a jovial group of misfits that congregate there every morning, year round, in all<br />

weather. Some good ole boys, some grumpy old men and some real characters. (My husband<br />

Matt is one.) The numbers fluctuate — the comeraderie and conversation draw people<br />

in. And the lads that work there are right in the mix. There’s a picnic table out front in summer,<br />

for crokinole or just shooting the #&% for half an hour, or half the day. The addition<br />

of a drive thru <strong>ca</strong>r wash brought a buzz of interest and a new form of entertainment.<br />

Even on a biting cold February morning you’ll find them out there in a huddle, cradling their<br />

coffees, telling stories or bitching about the Leafs. Every. Single. Morning.<br />

I think these guys have become really tight buds. The coffee <strong>ca</strong>n’t be THAT great!<br />

Tina

The Miller Times<br />

Rare and one-of-a-kind firearms<br />

made by Canadian gunsmiths pre-Confederation<br />

From straight-shooting collector, the late Don Bluth<br />

A rifle by James Monroe “Gunsmith” Jones, Canada’s only known Black gunmaker of the period.<br />

Shivers ran down the spine of auctioneer Justin Miller the first time he <strong>ca</strong>ressed the<br />

satin smoothness of a rifle beautifully crafted by James Monroe “Gunsmith” Jones,<br />

reputed to be the only Black gunsmith practicing in pre-Confederation Canada.<br />

Superb craftsmanship, solid history and untold tales of the rifle combined to overwhelm<br />

Justin, co-owner of Miller & Miller Auctions Ltd. in New Hamburg, Ontario.<br />

He and his brother and partner, Ethan, have handled the sale of thousands of pieces<br />

over the years and felt similar thrills periodi<strong>ca</strong>lly. And yet, “Gunsmith Jones’ rifle is<br />

something everyone should see,” Justin says.<br />

“Perhaps a museum will purchase it. If the rifle goes to a private collector,<br />

hopefully it will be shown to the public oc<strong>ca</strong>sionally.”<br />

The rifle was one of more than 75 pieces featured in the Firearms, Sporting &<br />

Canadiana sale hosted by Miller & Miller Auctions on Sat., Oct. 9, <strong>2021</strong>. Most of the<br />

items were from the Don and Joyce Blyth Collection, along with other owners’ sporting<br />

collectibles and choice additions.<br />

The discerning Blyths took breaks from their Guelph-area farming operation to scour<br />

estate sales, attics and barns for primitive items vital to early settlers. Don obtained<br />

his first antique rifle as a schoolboy and be<strong>ca</strong>me hooked for life. Respected as a shrewd<br />

negotiator and Canadian-made firearms expert, he had a story for every piece in his<br />

gun collection.<br />

Three days before the 90-year-old collector died on April 6, <strong>2021</strong>, Justin sat in Don’s<br />

gun room for the last of many wonderful conversations. Spellbound by Don’s recollections,<br />

the auctioneer filed away information to share later with bidders.<br />

“Don mostly collected flintlock percussion rifles, marked CW for Canada West, prior<br />

to 1866,” Justin notes. The auction items included a Hovsmovh rifle believed made by<br />

an Indigenous gunsmith; a buggy gun by Dudley Booth of<br />

Ottawa; a pistol marked Rorke Berlin; a four-barreled<br />

shotgun by Michael Mater of Chippewa; and a rifle by<br />

James Monroe “Gunsmith” Jones, Canada’s only known<br />

Black gunmaker of the period.<br />

James was one of a large family born to an enslaved man,<br />

who paid a dishonest slaveowner twice for his family’s<br />

freedom. The Joneses moved from the Carolinas to Ohio,<br />

where four sons attended Oberlin College, the first such<br />

institution to accept Black students. James graduated<br />

with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1849, the fourth<br />

Afri<strong>ca</strong>n Ameri<strong>ca</strong>n to attain this achievement.<br />

He relo<strong>ca</strong>ted across the border to southwestern Ontario, marrying Howard Township<br />

woman Emily Francis. In 1852, the couple joined free Afri<strong>ca</strong>n Ameri<strong>ca</strong>ns and es<strong>ca</strong>ped<br />

slaves creating new lives in Chatham, an important terminal on the Underground<br />

Railroad. In nearby Dresden, abolitionist, preacher and runaway slave Josiah Henson<br />

was already living on his Dawn Settlement and gaining fame as the inspiration for<br />

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 anti-slavery novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin.<br />

Establishing a gunsmithing business, James be<strong>ca</strong>me known as Gunsmith Jones, proving<br />

his skill in making rifles and pocket-sized derringers. In those times, settlers<br />

depended on their guns for hunting food and protection against attackers, both animal<br />

and human.<br />

Desiring the liberty of all enslaved people in the U.S., Gunsmith Jones listened intently<br />

to John Brown when the abolitionist <strong>ca</strong>me to Chatham in 1858 to drum up support<br />

for his radi<strong>ca</strong>l plan: assemble an army of Blacks and anti-slavery sympathizers and take<br />

over the U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry in Virginia. Gunsmith Jones joined others in<br />

taking an oath of secrecy and adopting and signing a constitution with the aim of freeing<br />

4 million slaves.<br />

Before John Brown left Chatham, he entrusted his firearm to Gunsmith Jones in<br />

exchange for a $75 loan. The gunsmith wasn’t with John Brown and his small band in<br />

1859 when they successfully held the armory for less than two days against the U.S.<br />

Marines and militias. Captured, tried for treason and hanged, John Brown couldn’t<br />

collect his pawned gun. The firearm is a treasured artefact displayed by the Chatham-<br />

Kent Black Histori<strong>ca</strong>l Society and Black Mec<strong>ca</strong> Museum.<br />

Grateful to Canada’s first Parliament, credited with passing the first antislavery law in<br />

the British Empire in 1793, Gunsmith Jones produced an outstanding gift to bestow<br />

upon the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII, on his brief train stop in<br />

Chatham in September 1860. While the prince waited in his royal coach for the scheduled<br />

presentation of Gunsmith Jones’ dupli<strong>ca</strong>te pair of fine derringer pistols, lo<strong>ca</strong>l officials<br />

squabbled over the appropriateness of a gift made by a Black person. They decided<br />

it was not fitting and the prince departed without his present.<br />

The Chatham Tri-Weekly Planet newspaper reported soon afterward that a derringer<br />

pair by Gunsmith Jones won a medal at the Montreal Manufacturing and Trade Fair.<br />

The Chatham man was “one of six Canadian gunsmiths who had the skill.…to be compared<br />

with the best in the world,” according to James Gooding, publisher of the<br />

Canadian Journal of Arms Collecting launched in the 1960s.<br />

“The publisher also complimented Don Blyth as the dean of Canadian gun collectors,”<br />

Justin says. “We are selling Don’s copy of the Canadian Gunsmith 1608-1900,<br />

authored by James Gooding and inscribed: For Don Blyth, a student, collector and<br />

darned good friend.”<br />
