| Anecdote* | 15 April 1938 | FRIDAY, APRIL 15th, 1938 North York-Now and Then A HISTORY OF THIS DISTRICT AND BIOGRAPHY OF ITS PEOPLE This department is directed by J. M. Walton ALL PUBLICATION RIGHTS RESERVED BY THE AURORA BANNER Luke Gibbons A York Pioneer 93 Year Old Resident Of King Township In 1830 Patrick Gibbons landed in Canada, a typical young Irish immigrant, with no capital but his health and strength. He found work first in the saw mill of William Lloyd, at Glenville. This saw mill had owners who were well known in their day; Mark Hughes, Ellis Hughes, Van Allan, father of James Van Allan and lastly Richard Kirton, a man who by hard work and thrift accumulated a fortune that enabled him to leave a legacy to the Baptist Denomination for building of Kirton Memorial Hall, a part of the McMaster University buildings in Toronto. Patrick first settled on Lot 33, Con. 3, King Township (200 acres) of Clergy Reserve Land. Then he heard of a fine Irish community in Adagala Township, in the County of Simcoe. This home did not have the appeal of his first choice however, and after a few years spent there he came back to King Township, and bought from Canada Company , the East ½ of Lot 31, Con. 3. It was hilly, but here he built himself a comfortable house and outbuildings, in the shelter of a big sugar loaf hill, locally taking the name of "Gibbons' Peak" for it was a prominent land mark for miles around. He stayed the rest of his blessed days, contented and happy with his growing family around him. In the first years, sale of timber cordwood, the burning of lime and charcoal added to the family funds. In 1846 this industrious settler made and sold fifty-five thousand hand made shingles to George Shanks for his new farm buildings at $2.50 a thousand, and in the same year he sold to Hewitt and Strachan, contractors all the stones they could find on his farm for $40. These went into the macadamizing of Yonge Street when that improvement to this highway was done. For two winters he made shingles selling his total output to neighbours. This added well to his income in those days, and gave him a good start on his land payments. Lime from the Gibbons kilns was used in the building of the King Christian Church and also the Kettleby Temperance Hall. On the "millstone creek" on his farm, the mill stones for the Glenville flour mill built by the Cawthras were fabricated. These stones are now preserved at the Glennville Public School grounds as relics. With all this activity and with his growing children around him the Gibbons farm was a happy home. Patrick married Catherine Banks in 1834. Five children were born to them. The oldest son Michael, when 16, was killed by being thrown from a horse. The fractured arm mortified, as competent surgical care was not available. This was a sad loss to the home. Then the oldest daughter was poisoned by eating blood root in mistake for pepper or krinkle root, a spicy edible root to be dug up under wet leaves in the forest, and eaten as a relish in the spring season. From this mistake she died, and another tragedy clouded the home life, calling forth the sympathy of neighbours. These two children were buried in what is now known as the Anglican Cemetery on the hill top as you approach Newmarket from the west, on Eagle Street. This ground was donated by Dr. Beswick in the early days, for a public burying ground. Beswick's grave stone says he died aged 119 years. The stone stands in the south east corner of the grounds, and can easily be found. At that date, 1836, there were families in the Newmarket district, and St. John's Church had not been started. The next sons, John and James left home, to go into business for themselves. Luke, the next son was a mainstay. He taught school awhile, but came back to the farm, as the aging parents desired. He soon got into local temperance societies, literary and other social circles. The Farmers' Institute work found him an active and useful helper. He was of a sociable disposition, and from his uniform good nature made his company agreeable to young and old. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace and Commissioner in the High Court of Justice and held this for many years. In politicas he has always been a liberal. His life long friend, Sir William Mulock, whose farm almost adjoined the Gibbons home often exchanged friendly visits with his friend "Luke". Sir William years ago encouraged orchard planting in North York and yearly gave generous prizes to his constituents for the best plantings. Luke was a prize winner for his orchard, and was well rewarded in after years by the fine product of his trees which gave him both pleasure and profit. A lot of Indian relics were found on this farm, and Luke had a fine collection. A black stone book is among the rare pieces he has. This object must have been lost by white missionaries or explorers. Archeologists are at a loss to explain it. He collected a fine library, and was a great reader, and one of the best posted men in the community. Then Luke took as his bride, Annie Menton of Toronto, in June, 1885. They were married in St. Patrick's Church, Toronto and toured to Niagara Falls, the scene of so many happy honeymoons. Their children are Frank, John, and Mrs. Geo. Paxton, with whom he is now living. He is perhaps one of the oldest residents of King Township, being 93 on 23rd of April 1938, retaining fair health, and his memory unimpaired. His whole life has been spent within sight of his birthplace, and he is rooted in the soil of his nativity as firmly as a sturdy oak tree and loyal to the end to what he had identified himself in his young manhood. His long life can best be appreciated when it is remembered that he was living when: First Parliament of Canada met at Bytown. The first oil well drilled in Pennsylvania in Ont. The first telegraph was invented. The first telephone was invented. The first Atlantic cable laid. When slavery was the law in the U.S.A. When pounds, shillings and pence were currency in Canada. Before France was a republic. When Ottawa was Bytown, Kettleby was Tyrwhitt's Mills, Aurora was Machell's Corners. When candles were the only illumination. |
| Death* | 11 December 1941 | Kettlelby, York County, Ontario, Canada, A front page article appeared in the Aurora Banner newspaper on Friday, December 12th, 1941. LUKE GIBBONS, 96, KING TOWNSHIP PIONEER DIES One of King Township's oldest resident, Luke Gibbons, passed away at his daughter's home near Kettleby, on Thursday morning in his 96th year after an illness of some weeks. As a young man he was for some years a school teacher, later, he tried his hand at writing and had a novel published. For many years he was a collector of Indian relics and mementoes of the early history of the district. He was justice of the peace in King Township for many years. Son of Patrick Gibbons, a young Irish immigrant who came to Canada in 1830, Luke has spent most of his 96 years on the farm which belonged to his father. The farm adjoins that of Sir William Mulock, and the two nonagenarians exchanged friendly visits on several occasions. Mr. Gibbons was an ardent temperance worker, joining the Sons of Temperance at Kettleby at the age of 20. He was a devout Roman Catholic and a Liberal in politics. Surviving him are his daughter, Mrs. George Paxton, two sons, Frank of Richmond Hill, John of Montana and nine grandchildren. The funeral will take place on Saturday morning at 10:30 D.S.T. at St. John's Church, Newmarket. Interment in St. John's cemetery. This is the content of the newspaper obituary from the Dec. 19th obituary: "The death of Mr. Luke Gibbons of Kettelby removes the township's oldest citizen. In his 96th year, Mr. Gibbons had lived all but two years on the farm where he was born. He was an interesting person and in his earlier days a man of literary talent, interested in public affairs of the district and well known for his genial personality. His father and mother were pioneers of Kettelby. Carrying on the same pioneer farm is his daughter, Mrs. George Paxton. There are two sons, one at Richmond Hill and one at Montana, USA; nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Deceased was a devout Roman Catholic. The funeral service was held at St. John's Church, Newmarket, on Saturday, Dec. 13th, with interment in St. John's Cemetery." |
