time this is our grego from seeing your perspective tonight we're going to be talking about some more of the disappearing villages in peter's township and this time it's going to be the village of mcmurry i'll give you a little bit of history of it some time ago mcmurry was a village a mile south of thompson vale around eighteen thirty there was a warm meal a blacksmith's shop and four dualities later a grist mill was built on this location also a at that time to make merry telephone company consisted of five telephones wow but in one thousand fifteen joe make where he took over the company and in one nine hundred thirty two he sold the company to bell telephone then we have a big increase up to five hundred fifty telephones the location for twenty five years was on the corner next to joe mcmurray is residence at a very early time there was a pottery located near the house of harvey mcnairy which was run by a man named bracken the clay used for the pottery came from the property of john mcclenney which was a short distance east of the pottery the flour mill was located at the corner of mcmurr and valley brook read this these mails were powered by water power the water came from an old dam which was near the old boy scout cabin my guess we'll have more information on this for twelve years where did you walk to thomas fred in the mcnairy road to the old high school which was five years you go there for first grade are scraped through twelfth they didn't have the one room school up there on thomas round not when i so you talking about no it's no longer there it's where the new homes are built on thomas road on the left oh i graduated from that high school and my uncle that was john r bayard who was president of the board the school board directors and he reached me my diploma  not a heck of a lot i guess i was a newcomer i think we moved out here and she was thirty seven or thirty eight so rather than going to school scuse me i do remember we now see barker and i ran a trap line down on the crick and make my until we met up with a skunk one day happy day through  swimming on up there a big opening in the creek where it was fairly deep about four or five feet deep i you know we used to go swimming down there and i don't used to go swimming down there when we winning i didn't go there too long then we moved to coreopsis and then we came back about six or seven months later danny said he didn't want to work for anybody he wanted to work for himself and that's when we moved over to just about  i can remember in the summertime we used to walk down this time of the afternoon when parents had to have their afternoon nap and i think anything to do how on earth and i used to walk around the place which was ok at that time but the bobbin travel class we'd never think of doing that now but at that time if this country i think the young people now would be interested in knowing that at one time we could slide right from for thirty years right dorothy working bob and my brother was in school together one day by my mother my brother had a right to go on it's full right she looked operator she stayed there for during the week and then would find a way home on weekends well that's where the telephone office rents run that there were the tennis courts when i was the first one the first the first one y you were too little too don't you think that's where my father and mother but my father worked in psychiatry got the market and he came up there was run away so he came out looking in different areas and he noticed that i was on there in that building and he's knocked on the door and they have i got the upper where did they and he said for them not to open their doors to anyone because it was a run away up morgue a work when we walk down a red light and that's what i'd really like to have some fun book from when i worked there because basically you knew everybody that lived in mcnairy at that time and you if you did not a somebody  k now we've covered that area now rob let's get back to the dairy brah i mean it's had a lot of changes so i think tom you could get in on some of that but remember when it was just very much very upset upset about the pictures we had going on the way to them six months to put it on now we know your house number that's the new elementary over there to think that at one time one building served all of us in the township and now look what  we didn't talk too much about his gas station so what kind of gas  garage on the back of his property next to the school driveway but it was all residential then they didn't permit it so he cried a stab in the searing and went to florida mr and you had worked it did you have absolutely used to skate together things are so nice and safe back then and i think about how many times we went out by ourselves to go visit to a girlfriend south which would be half a mile away and never thought about the difference of life now mary and helen made us and i'd like to thank you all very much for being here and giving us all these pleasant memories for us to be aware of and to think about and people read my mates and think about all these wonderful things that we have done where we have come to so this is our mcgregor from senior perspective so this will just about we have one more series on the villagers peters
