Stone now marks historic cemetery
Many buried at old House of Industry

By Ian McCallum
Times-Journal Staff

    Gone, but certainly not forgotten.
In a ceremony cut short by a rapidly advancing thunderstorm, members of Elgin County council and invited guests gathered early Tuesday afternoon behind Elgin Manor to dedicate a monument to the individuals buried on the grounds of the Elgin County House of Industry and Refuge.

    Opened in 1876 and decommissioned in 1964, the House of Industry occupied a 50-acre site that would become the home of the original Elgin Manor seniors facility.

    A plot plan, now in the collection of the Elgin County Archives, reveals between its opening and 1894, 128 men, women and children were buried on the grounds, prompting county council to commission an attractive black monument listing all of their names in order to honour them.

    “We’re here today to dedicate this monument to the people who were in the House of Industry,” noted Warden Paul Baldwin, “and to remember always there was a House of Industry here and that Elgin was a leader in looking after the indigents and senior citizens of our community.”

    Erection of the monument was a joint venture between the Elgin County Archives and the Elgin County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society.

    “County council had the foresight and the benevolence to support the creation of this monument on these grounds in order to restore a measure of dignity to the individuals involved,” explained Brian Masschaele, manager of archives.
“For over 100 years their resting place remained unmarked,” added Brenda Edmonds, on behalf of the Ontario Genealogical Society, “and perhaps even the knowledge so many people were interred here has faded into history. Now with this monument they are truly gone but not forgotten.”

    A BIT OF HISTORY:   Lot 39 North Talbot Road, approximately two miles west of St. Thomas, was purchased in 1833 from the Crown by Bryant Wade. The west half Bryant Wade sold to Richard Mandeville.  It was later passed on to John and James Mandeville then to Richard Nichols. John Lyle, son of Alexander Lyle, bought it and lived there for many years.  Later the west half was sold to his son-in-law, Charles Butler who with his son Kenneth Butler, farmed the land. Bryant Wade sold the east half to John and William Lodge, next to William Chaplow and finally to John Cole   The east fifty acres were sold June 22, 1875 by John Cole to the county for $3,000 for the establishment of the House of Industry and Refuge.  A large brick building was erected and the House of Industry and Refuge was officially opened February 11, 1876 by Mr. George Suffel of Vienna, Warden of Elgin County.  At that time there only two or three such institutions in the province.  This photo of the House of Industry is courtesy of the Elgin County Archives.

The House of Industry and Refuge was a home to many types of people.  These individuals were considered ‘Inmates’ and participated in the upkeep of the building and working of the land. Reasons for admission were listed as: weak minds, idiots, insane, destitution, sickness, old age, intemperance, crippled, blind, pregnant, etc.  The home held approximately 35-40 female and male inmates.

The house was operated by the County through a committee of three people who were appointed annually.  The first manager of the home was Michael Hunsberger, who served a twelve-year term, and resigned due to ill health and retired to St. Thomas.  William Aldritt was appointed January 27, 1888 and also served a twelve-year term and retired to Springwater.  On January 27 1900, Mr. Aldritt was followed by David Gooding who held this office for almost 27 years.  During Mr. Gooding’s time there were extensive repairs to buildings, installation of a furnace room, boring of a well, rebuilding of the cottages, installation of an ice refrigerator, two large cook stoves, the building of fire escapes, a chimney, a cement front porch and a root cellar. An orchard   of apple and other fruit trees was also planted.

The farm was also increased by the purchase of 50 acres from Mr. Luton for $4,250. About that time hydro and hot water heaters were installed.  During Mr. Gooding’s term, people classed as insane were sent to the Ontario Hospital and all children over two years of age were sent to the Children’s Home or Shelter, sometimes children were received and placed out to private homes and farms in the county.  There was also a notice issued that burials were to be handled through funeral homes.  The county and township provided ‘strangers grounds’ at Fingal Cemetery for some of the subsequent burials.  On November 26, 1926, Fred Ingram became manager and served for 16 years.  The steel barn was built in 1935 to replace the one destroyed by fire.  There was a deep well bored and the old ice refrigerator was replaced by an electric one and hardwood floors were installed.  In the spring of 1943, Mr. Ingram was succeeded by George Turnbull, who was Warden of Elgin County in 1941, along with Fred Herman as assistant.  George “Bob” Willson was administrator from 1952 to 1958 and then the position passed on to Mr. Ivan Patterson from 1958 to 1968.

The physicians appointed to provide medical care where Dr. Luton 1875, Dr. Guest 1911 and Dr. Ewin 1919 who made weekly visits for 30 years until 1945.   Mr. Fox preached at the home for 19 years as well as Dr. Robert McIntyre, Presbyterian Minister of Tempo and  Rev. Poulter of the Fingal and Middlemarch circuit.
The name was changed to “Elgin County Home” before it was torn down in 1964, and the modern Elgin Manor for the Aged was opened.  This new facility contained 90 beds.  In 1969 an additional 60 beds were added to the Manor.  In September, 2003 the newly erected Elgin Manor was opened.

     The above information was extracted from notes by Mrs. George Turnbull and from “Sims’ History  

of Elgin County Volume II.” 
From “For Such a Time as This, L. Earl Ludlow and the History of Homes for the Aged in Ontario, Toronto, Ontario Association of Homes for the Aged c. 1987 – House of Refuge and Industrial Farms”

“Farm Cemeteries”:
       “Most of the early houses of refuge had a cemetery right on the farm.  How well it was kept depended on those in charge.  In some cases careful records were kept, and the grave sites meticulously cared for.  In other less respect was shown.

      Records show that one of the duties of the surgeons at Oxford County Homes was to see “that sufficient ground in some suitable part of the farm shall be set apart for a burial ground, to be fenced in neatly and planted with trees and otherwise beautified, properly laid out in tiers, or rows and the graves plainly numbered.”  It also indicated that a plan of the ground should be made and kept together with a proper register of the burials in the office of the inspector. …       When a death occurred in a house of Industry prior to 1907 the body would either be removed to the cemetery or a local church with whom the individual was connected or be buried in the cemetery of the house of industry.  However in 1907 the passing of the Anatomy Act required that the bodies of persons who died in a house of industry and refuge, which were still unclaimed by relatives or friends after thirty-four hours should be sent to a medical college to be used by students in scientific research. “
 
It appears that this was the case in Elgin County although it seems that some of the bodies went to the School of Anatomy before 1907.

It also states that:

     “Some insights into life within the home, and more specifically the illnesses and medical problems which occurred can be gleaned from careful records kept by Dr. L. Luton, Surgeon to Elgin County House of Industry.   His notes cover a time span from 1890 to 1910 and provide an accurate glimpse of what occurred medically in that facility during those twenty years. 
      He recorded attending to the injuries of residents who had been fighting as well as problems he had with mentally disturbed residents. …  

      Dr. Luton’s records tell about bouts of flu and outbreaks of typhoid fever of which there were three during his time.   The most serious was in 1891 when he had five cases at one time.  Because of his methods of sanitation and isolation he was able to keep the typhoid fever from spreading throughout the house.   Only one inmate died.”

DEATHS AND CEMETERY RECORDS: 

The House of Industry registers can be found on microfilm at the Elgin County Archives.   Other information that can be found in the Registers are:  the township which people came from, who put them in the home (usually the doctor’s name), the reason they are in the home, how long they have been in the home, cause of death, a visitor’s list,  etc.  Please consult these microfilms at the Archives for more details.

Mrs. Turnball makes reference to a cemetery on the property but nothing else and the location of the cemetery on the House of Industry property is not known.

The names in this article are the people who died only between 1876 and 1901 while at the House of Industry and Refuge.  It is noted below whether or not they were buried at the House of Industry by the Tier-Grave number.  These numbered entries are from Register No. 1 and Register No. 2 of the House of Industry Records.  Where there is no Tier-Grave mentioned in the original records there are usually notations to indicate the body was taken by relatives or friends to be buried elsewhere.

Entries without a number in the Register (Reg. #) column are from the Surgeon’s reports to County Council and these records are also available at the Elgin County Archives. On the Cemetery Plot Plan in the back of Register #1,  Tier 1 graves start at the South fence, and graves proceed to the north – again where the cemetery is located is unknown.
