      THE CHURCH AT BRANCHTON
      By Mrs. William Fowler - (Maude Scott)

      Prepared for the afternoon service at the above church on July 27th, 1952, in conjunction with the North Dumfries Centennial.
      On this occasion it is fitting that we look back over the years to the circumstances which led to the founding of this church and what it has meant to the community, for I do not believe we can appreciate the significance of the present, if we do not know something of the past.
      Back in the early 1800's, William Rosebrugh owned several acres of land and mapped out the village of Branchton, selling lots to incoming settlers as early as 1855.

      Just to the south was Turnbull's Comers where there was a school, a store, a post-office, a blacksmith-shop, a small station and several houses and farms settled as early as 1819. This was the older settlement and a number of the people went to church at St. George, about three miles to the south, where services were held as early as 1832 by Rev. William Proudfoot and Rev. James Roy, sent by the West Flamboro Conference under Rev. Thomas Christie.

      To the north, a number of the settlers attended churches in Galt, and as the population of this new village at this time was 105, the need of a church was ever uppermost. So in 1859 this building was erected, many local people giving of their time to draw stone, among whom were Hugh Arthur, John Harvie and Mr. Bautinheimer.....
