Notes:

Another of the old settlers was one Mr. Jacob Thoman, a tailor from Switzerland. He built two taverns and for a time did considerable business. The place where his first tavern stood was purchased by George Roos who took it down and erected the present three storey stone tavern. The moral character of Mr. Jacob Thoman, however, had many blemishes. He was despised by almost every body and died a miserable death, after all his property had been squandered.

Notes:

I REMEMBER

By O. A. KUMMER Long Time Resident of Preston

EDITOR'S NOTE -This is the third in a series of articles being written for The Preston Reporter by long-time resident O. A. Kummer. Dealing with Preston's past, as Mr. Kummer remembers it, the article swill [sick] appear in these columns from time to time.

BICYCLE MEETS used to be a popular pastime in the area; the Town of Preston had many of them.

Riverside Park was usually the scene, and hundreds of cyclists attended.

I remember one particular day when there seemed to be only one winner. It was none other than Herbert Clare.

Two other noted cyclists from the area, who were famous for their long distance ability, were Ernie Evans and Albert Near.

I REMEMBER when Preston was famous for its horse racing meets in Speed Park. as it was called then. Trotting and pacing races were held periodically, and usually attracted fine crowds.

The track was noted as a fast one, and I can recall being in conversation with some of the horsemen. who said it "had a kind of bounce to it."

This, no doubt, was because the base upon which the raceway rests is more liquid than solid.

Preston horsemen included Perc Sauerson, Ed Perine, Blarrs Wilkes, J. Wetherall and H. Osgood.

I CAN RECALL when Preston had very little in the way of fire protection for the village-mostly water from the Speed River and the Klotz Dam.

A tank was constructed across from the Commercial Hotel to supply water and the pumping equipment consisted of a contraption resembling a railroad jigger upon with four men, two on each side, operated it in unison.

I REMEMBER when W. A Husband lived in the cottage which stands on the opposite corner of our municipal complex, and when he was clerk of the village.

He was also greatly interested in growing things and in horticulture in general.

He had a beautiful vine growing upon the verandah posts. the most beautiful vine I have ever seen, and he also took delight in presenting the earliest flower in the spring to the local editor of The Preston Progress, Mr. Blackstock.

Notes:

....The First World War and prohibition law combined to close the Rock Brewery (and many other Ontario breweries) in 1916.

Peter Bernhardt revived the plant in the 1920s with the help of U.S. investors, but it closed for good in 1933.

A few years later, he leased the old stable for $1 to the 1st Preston Scout Troop after being approached by scout leader Wilf Blum, a young pharmacist then working at the Spencer Dalton Drug Store on Queen's Square in Galt.

Blum soon had the scouts renovating the stable. And in 1938, despite knowing little about music, he started the Preston Scout House Band, initially limited to Preston scouts.

Over the next 30 years the band would soar in stature and perform before thousands at major events across North America.....
