OLD LANDMARKS

Among the old landmarks in Crapaud at the present time is a house formerly owned by Thomas Lee. It was built on a plot of land near the property at present owned by Leith Francis. After Mr. Lee's death, the building was bought by William Rogerson and moved to his farm on the road leading to Westmoreland, where it was used for a granary.

This land is now owned by Harry Craig and the old granary is still standing (1972). We do not know the date of the building of this house, but in Lake's Atlas of 1863, we find Mr. Lee's name listed. Mr. Lee is known to have lived there in the 1870's. So

at the time of writing, the building is more than one hundred years” old.

Another landmark in Crapaud is the house owned by Mrs. F.W. Luque. This house was built for Mrs. (Dr.) Potts, (nee Jean Roger- son) after the death of her husband, who died in 1883. It stood on a plot of land on the Rogerson farm near the houses recently built by Llewellyn Gamble and Harold Oakes.

Some years after the death of Mrs. Potts, the house was bought by Mrs. John Matters, and moved to its present site on a plot of land which she bought from Herbert Lowther. She and her family lived there for a number of years, and eventually the house was bought by Mrs. Luque and is in perfect condition at the present

time.

TRON POT

Mrs. Mark MacVittie has a very old Iron Pot, which formerly belonged to Mrs. (Dr.) Robert Potts. This pot has three legs about the size of one's little finger, and will hold about one quart. It was used to fry doughnuts, boil eggs, or potatoes.

It is eighty or ninety years old.

She also has a cupboard containing two drawers besides the cupboard space. This was bought at Dr. Pott's sale. —
