Sketch of the Rev. Featherstone Lake Osler (1805-1895), who was the first resident clergyman in West Gwillimbury. Rev. Osler was born in Falmouth, England, and left for Bond Head with his wife, Ellen, in 1837. He was an Anglican minister who looked after parishioners spread out over 240 square miles (of Simcoe County). He set up the Anglican Church in Bond Head, which still has a pew from his era in the church.
