Bond Head's Parade Claimed to be Best Yet

"Bond Head's Pioneer Parade last saturday, July 1, was another example and proof of the fact that enthusiasm and willing workers can produce what money expenditure cannot. The Bond Head workers for the parade, and other events, did not have big financial resources but they did have a wealth of initiative, enthusiasm willingness to work, and a determination to do credit to Bond Head, and they most certainly accomplished the latter. That parade, and other events of the day, made July 1, 1967, red letter day for Bond Head." ...

John Culbert Sr. Family

Back Row, left to right: Henrietta (Hattie, Mrs. Wm. McKay), Robert, Sarah (Mrs. Wm. Creyke, later Mrs. Wm. Brimson), William, Andrew W. Carter, Ellen (Nellie, Mrs. Thomas Arnold). Seated: Mr. John Culbert, Herbert, Mrs. John Culbert, Elizabeth Margaret (Mrs. Andrew Carter), and Isabella Jane Edythe Carter (Mrs. Russell Rowe). In 1872, the Gazetteer and Directory of Simcoe Country states that Mr. Thomas Phillips owned the North 1/2 Lot 21, Concession 5, Tecumseth Township, comprising approximately 112 acres. Mr. Phillips was later Reeeve of Tecumseth Township and during this time the house and original barn were built, both in one year. The lumber for the buildings was obtained from the Coffey oak bush on the adjoining 200 acres. A sawmill was operated while some 60 acres of oak lumber was taken out. On November 29, 1890, the farm was sold by Mr. Phillips' widow, Sarah Phillips (she was a Miss Van Every, sister of Mrs. Wm. Hill, next farm, Lot 20) to Mr. John Culbert. John Culbert, with his brother Robert and sister Mary Jane (later Mrs. Carruthers, grandmother of the late Mrs. Cardie McLean) had cvome to Canada about 1850 from Dungannon, Tyrone County, Northern Ireland. John returned to Ireland to marry Miss Isabella Johnson and bring her as a bride to Canada in 1861. His brother Alex and sisters Mary Ann and Ellen (later Mrs. Robt. Watt, step-grandmother of Wm. Watt, Bond Head) came to Simcoe County with John and Isabella. Before purchasing the Tecumseth Township farm, John and Isabella Culbert were tenants of the former Simcoe Manor farm, Beeton, and the David Ross farm near Cookstown. They raised a family of three sons, Robert, William, and Herbert, and four daughters, Henrietta (Hattie), Sarah, Ellen (Nellie) and Elizabeth.

Residents oppose street name changes

"It seemed like a reasonable idea, a good idea: in this, the 50th anniversary of D-Day, to recognize some of the municipality's most highly decorated veterans, by renaming duplicate street names in their honour.
The list of names, compiled by the Royal Canadian Legion with the assistance of Bradford West Gwillimbury Police Service researchers, included Gunner JohN Douglas Breeze, recipient of the Military Medal for bravery, and Squadron Commander Brad walker, recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross.
The idea was to honor the war veterans, while they were still alive; to eliminate the risk of confusion of street names in an emergency, by changing similar names; and perhaps, to untie the Municipality in a gesture towards its veterans.
Instead, it re-opened old wounds, and contributed towards new grievances. ..."
