Dear father of Joanne Yager, Douglas Yager and Jennifer and Darren McConachie. Loving grandfather of Lauren (Kevin), Nolan (Madison) Nathan (Shantelle), Jenessa (Matt) and great grandfather of Brandon, Eamon, Helen, Evelyn, Lyndon and Gemma. Predeceased by precious grandson Brandon Yager, brothers Bruce and Clifford and brother-in-law Donald Ramsay. Lovingly remembered by sisters-in-law Grace Ramsay, Mary-Kaye Helka and Joyce Helka. Orvill was a strong family man and a wonderful mentor to his children and grandchildren. He was a member of Selkirk Christian Chapel and over time sang in various choirs and quartets. Although he had many hobbies, he especially enjoyed spending many hours tending to his honey bees and enjoying the wonder of nature all around him. Orvill retired in 1999 from Canadian Gypsum Company with 46 years of dedicated service. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel toward the wonderful staff of Grandview Lodge for their loving care and compassion shown to Orvill and our family in the last two years. There will be a private interment and committal service at Rainham Mennonite Cemetery.  Helka, Orville Leroy (I1113713)

5365 Peter Culver
(as written by Mrs. Hilliard Culver) 1978

Peter Culver was born in 1785 in Massachusetts where he obtained a fair English education. In 1805 he enlisted in the American Army in which he served until 1815 when he was discharged. He fought with the Americans in the War of 1812-14. At the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812 he was taken prisoner of war by the British, and was conveyed to Kingston and Montreal. From there he was taken to Boston and released on parole. Upon being discharged from the American Army he was offered a pension with several years' accumulations, amounting to several hundred dollars. However, coupled with the offer was a condition that he should take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States government. He flatly declined to accept the money on those terms. Sixty-four years later the restriction was removed and at the age of ninety-four he received his entire pension. The American Government refused to give him land on his discharge, as he was led to believe they would when he enlisted. This so incensed him that he immediately forsook his allegiance to the American Government. He came to Canada and became a steadfast and loyal subject of the Crown of Great Britain.

He first settled on a small lot in Walpole, but after a short residence there, he bought land in Rainham Township on Concession 1, Lot 14, where he spent the remainder of his long life. In 1817 he married Sarah Miller, whose father was the ancestor of the Millers of Rainham. Ten children were born to them. His son Guye remained with him on the home farm.

When Mr. Culver settled in Rainham in 1816, the nearest Post Office was Niagara. The only other settlers in the township were the Hoovers, with property in Concession 1, Benjamin Stewart, Mr. Shank, a Mennonite minister, Jacob Fite, below Miller's Point, and Richard Sprangle. There were no settlers between these and Port Maitland. The whole country, before it was improved, was wet and swampy, which discouraged early settlers from locating in the interior as they couldn't get out for necessary supplies until roads were hewn out. A small water-powered grist and sawmill had been built on Stoney Creek (Selkirk Creek) in 1802, by Chris Hoover. Also in Selkirk in 1834, David Evans opened the first store between Port Dover and Dunnville.

He was active in many civic affairs being the Commissioner of the Court of Requests, an office dissolved after the County Judges were appointed. He was for many years a member of the Rainham Township Council.

Peter Culver lived to the ripe old age of 95. He led a busy and useful life, possessing good health and a cheerful and amicable disposition up to the end. A marble stone in the Baptist Cemetery at Rainham Centre marks the spot where he was buried.

5366 Port Dover Maple Leaf, June 15, 2005
Gone for now but will be reassembled some day
200-year old Port Dover house removed board by board.
Stan Morris

From its vantage point on Highway 6 at the western outskirts of town a white frame house has been witness to the evolution of Port Dover since its earliest beginnings. It stood there watching the passing of horse-drawn traffic along a dirt trail to a paved highway from the early 1800s to June 2005.

The house is gone now…for the time being. It was purchased by Mel Shakespeare of Port Hope and dismantled one board at time, each piece of wood meticulously marked and numbered. The owner intends to rebuild it to be a “modern” house with an historic skeleton, look and feel.

When I visited the site two workers were on the job. There were timbers stacked neatly beside the laneway, darkened by age but still very sound. Bricks which had been carefully taken down and cleaned of mortar were neatly placed on skids, all of which was in preparation to be transported to another building lot somewhere to be reassembled as the same house. All that old building material will certainly experience déjà vu.

A few metres away, still undisturbed, was the wooden foundation of the house. Those thick hand hewed beams, probably 10 inches thick, were quite badly decayed. However, they supported the hand hewed logs which formed the floor beams and these seem to be as solid as the day they would have been laboriously placed there about 200 years ago. With their preservation in mind, those log beams had been placed quite a distance above ground level so were high and dry.

The style of construction is called post and beam.

One of the workmen told me they found a coin which was dated 1802 under the threshold during the dismantling.

Jack McBride grew up in that house. He is now retired and lives in Burlington. He told me on Friday during a phone call that it was his grandfather’s house, John Aaron McBride, then his father’s, Albert McBride. Jack was an only child and lived there until about 1934 when the family purchased the property directly across the highway. As a youngster he walked to school from the old two-storey house, which was heated with a wood-burning stove in the kitchen. He recalled it had one bedroom downstairs off the kitchen and two bedrooms upstairs. In the backyard was a well and pump and, of course, an outhouse.

Old records indicate that James McCoy was first deeded the property in 1821. It was described as Woodhouse Township Concession 1, Lot 9, west half, 100 acres. He had come to the new world from County Down in Ireland. He was born in 1815 and died 92 years later in 1907. He is buried nearby in St. John’s Anglican Cemetery.

Maple Leaf newspaper files of 1922 report of McCoy Woods on the outskirts of town which church groups used for camping. Later land was sold off for the Lake Erie & Northern Railway line which crossed the property.

In 1933 Miss Maria McCoy sold the property to John Aaron McBride. She had resided in the house for many years. Miss McCoy died in March 1934.

Evelyn Waters told me this week that her father, Arthur Leitch (a widower), married Aleta McBride, widow of Albert McBride, and they resided in the McBride house for a short time.

Mel Shakespeare informed me that the banister and fireplace mantel had been removed from the house by someone. He was able to trace where the mantel is and it will be returned. The old house restorer is not too concerned about the banister as a portion of an upper section was left so he can reproduce exactly what it was like, saying, “that is something we do all the time.”

Mel Shakespeare’s address is RR 3 Port Hope. He owns a company called Traditional Homes – Historic Homes and Cottages To Go. He specializes in dismantling old houses and rebuilding them on lots elsewhere. The company has an inventory of old houses which are for sale and can be, as he says, “transport them to wherever you want them and reassemble them, preserving the charm of the past while adding all the modern conveniences.”

Three pictures with the following information:

These 200-year-old bricks, logs, and timbers shown above will experience déjà vu when reassembled to be a duplicate home of the original.

A rendering of what the home will look like when it is reassembled and restored at some time in the future.

The solid logs which form the house’s floor beams still remain solid with 200-year-old bark still intact.
