Titled: Some Early Toronto History
(Told by Tom Larue to the editor). Tom is an old-timer. He came here in 1860. His father settled on what is now known as the old Nate Baker farm, across the river. His father bought out the man who had entered the land originally, bought his relinquishment for $300 gold.

Tom worked quite awhile at the old saw mill on the river. Eight young fellows there were working and having their own boarding house. And the boys had their own boarding house and had posted three rules of the house, no cards, no whiskey, no talking of politics; for as Tom said, amoung eight men from the ends of the earth any of the three will sooner or later cause trouble. And they hired their own cook. First it was Mr. Casto, and then it was Uncle Johnny Camp, and then it was Milton Harris.
