Notes:

This locality appears to have always had a weakness for theatricals, for an organization under the modest title of the " Galt Thespian Amateurs" was effected during the summer of 1843, and broke out into open performance towards the fall months. The chief Thespians were Messrs John Dodds, James Allen, John Scott, Dominick Ramore, Henry Smith, James Smith, Archibald Buchanan, Wm. Snow, Wm. Hearle, Jesse Thornton, Henry Aldous, and Washington Wood. These gentlemen took the different characters in the plays, Mr. John McAuslan acted as prompter, and the orchestra, and a capital one it was, was composed of Messrs. Glennie, Pembroke, and Wilsden, who will be remembered by those with good memories, as most excellent musicians.

Honoured:
McAuslan Street, the name McAuslan connected with Galt at any time during the past 50 years recalls Canada's national winter game, curling. This street was named after John McAuslan, custodian of the Toll Gate on the Dundas Road at the east end of the town;
