There are many Oro Medonte Families tied to The Little Brick Church and its surrounding cemetery. Allen Gilchrist, Treasurer of the Little Brick, presenter(and Myself,the applicant, and sister to Allen, Ruth Jane Gilchrist Abs) are descendants of some of the original families (Gilchrist/Graham/Day/ Bell) in Oro Medonte, and who would have been long-standing members of The Little Brick Church. Walter Iles (Past Chairman of the Board for the church), when he held his position, and even recently, has been delegating, assisting, and helping to organize various burials and other onsite services for the last 8 years. Many community members over the last 140 years have been a part of its congregation and played a vital part in keeping the church and cemetery operational. We would like to honour the history of The Little Brick Church, and its heritage by allowing it to continue to be a significant piece of the Oro Medonte history and its future.

The brick church was built in 1882 on land donated by Charles Ross. The builders of the present-day church were Henry Crawford and his son George. It was on Henry Crawford's farm, northeast of the church that the bricks were made. George was the lead carpenter. The cemetery was established in 1882 with the first burial being Anne Wasnidge. For many years local storekeeper Burt Graham hand-dug the graves in the cemetery as well as maintaining the church and its grounds. The east side of the brick church where the drive sheds were once located. The church was Methodist and became United in 1925. According to the Township the burial register for the church is known as The Crawford Church up until 1915. The last regular service was held in March 1968. Today the cemetery still receives burial requests for those who have family plots and there has been an annual memorial service every year on the second weekend in July. (This stopped when Covid began in 2020 and it has not been reinstated as of yet) There have still been weddings. Renewal of Vows and funerals have continued to happen at the Church.

(Continued from page 1) Below are some suggested ways that you might also attract members with diverse demographics — specifically Indigenous and Underrepresented communities, to help recognize, protect and promote all aspects of a community's heritage. Indigenous Communities There are many ways municipal heritage committees can reflect the principles of reconciliation with Indigenous communities. Reconciliation begins with openly listening to Indigenous communities as they continue to share their stories about their history, treatment and ongoing impacts of colonialism. Most MHCs have a budget for members to receive training. Indigenous organizations and communities themselves are best positioned to offer training to assist non-indigenous people and organizations to navigate the complex history of Indigenous peoples in Canada. As your committee sets out its activities and priorities, one possible goal is to look for opportunities to recognize the Indigenous heritage in the community through municipal designation, plaque programs and other programs that promote a better awareness of the ongoing contribution of Indigenous peoples. MHCs should begin meetings with an acknowledgement of the relationship with Indigenous communities, their heritage and the connections they have within the community. Municipal council may have an acknowledgement to work with to personalize for opening your committee meetings. If the committee has its own webpage, consider working with Indigenous partners to develop an overview of the Indigenous history of the area, and the relationship of the municipality to the contemporary Indigenous communities within or adjacent to its boundaries. Many committees do not have a member who represents an Indigenous perspective. The recruitment is often undertaken by application. Targeted recruitment is good practice to attract members with specific expertise. Archaeological Management Plans and Cultural Plans are proactive tools that can help to start conversations with Indigenous communities and may create a longer-term dialogue about cultural heritage resources important to those communities. A municipal heritage committee can promote development of these tools. Underrepresented Communities MHC membership may not reflect the diversity of the municipality its serves. Many of the same strategies outlined above also apply to the broader diversification of committee membership. This could include targeted recruitment of members, training for members, and setting goals for diversifying heritage designations. While training may focus on the groups or communities, there are also some that help participants to understand what an inclusive and diverse environment could look like. Beyond this, inviting the members of different communities to speak about their culture at meetings is another way to learn about local cultures. An MHC meeting should be a comfortable and welcoming place where diverse views and experiences _ are shared. Some cultural groups have specific days that hold particular significance and are celebrated or commemorated.

The proposed plan garnered significant input from residents that resulted in some modifications to the final plan. Construction was initiated in the spring of 2022 and will be finalized in 2023. Some key components of the plan, which were incorporated to provide consistency with the existing district, include; i) exposed aggregate sidewalks that provide a walking surface that is similar to the original stone dust pathways, ii) lighting fixtures that resemble the original lighting fixtures present in the downtown, iii) gravel-surfaced parking areas that are consistent with the previous streetscape, iv) removal of overhead hydro lines so that the existing and newly planted tree canopy will thrive, and v) protection for New exposed aggregate sidewalk curves to preserve a series of hitching posts in the grassed area in front of The Little Inn that several heritage trees by limiting parking over the root was built in 1847.The material is a nod to the original stone zones. dust pathways in Bayfield.

Consistent with the time period, the boards used vary in width (some are over 14" wide; others — 4" wide) very few nails were used and there was no modern insulation until two sides of the original wrap-around porch were enclosed, first in the 1930's (to provide an indoor kitchen area) and then in the 1960's (to add a bit of extra living space). A photo showing the multiple wood layers of an original exterior wall is attached. Most of the interior walls are plaster and lathe; except the kitchen, the floors are 1.5 to 2" solid pine; there are original 2 X 8's supporting the main floor ceiling; a couple of doors have been enlarged but several of the original (and very small, you have to duck to enter!)) doorways still remain. Originally, the exterior was covered with thin cedar shakes (photo included of an original section that is now one interior wall of the kitchen), but the house was covered with white vinyl siding in 2004 or 2005 by the previous owners prior to putting the property up for sale. When time and resources permit, I am anxious to remove the siding and, if possible, restore the original exterior. The buildings were assessed for soundness in 2009 prior to restoration and renovations and both the house and barn were found to be in excellent shape. (The other outbuildings still stand and are in use.) I have since installed a new (steel) roof and new windows on the house, upgraded the plumbing and wiring (we even found some knob & tube!), renovated the tiny kitchen, and installed a geothermal system (to replace the old oil furnace), which augments heating with wood. The main chimney has been lined, but otherwise is original and the observable wee tilt to it (which probably happened in its early years as the house settled) is of no structural or safety concern; I installed a modern airtight woodstove in 2007. There have been no structural additions or changes made to the home since the last porch was enclosed in the 1960's, however I have been able to reclaim some of the north-east porch 6" square supporting beams that had been covered with drywall when that porch was enclosed (photo's of those beams and an underside view of porch roof portions attached). I restored the barn loft in 2017 and turned it into a three-season room by taking out the old (in places unsafe!) flooring and replacing it with 2 1/2" hand-milled cedar; lining the walls with the useable old barn boards from the floor; installing several windows for light and ventilation; and having it completely re-wired. Its existing, original structure has not been changed by me, although I did need Page 63 of 86 6.a) Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re: Register of Heritage ... to replace a couple of the original large sliding doors. I also installed an eco-toilet (which does not use water; the barn is not plumbed) rather than having a regular outhouse. The barn's original exterior remains & shows the weather- and woodpecker- deteriorated shakes (photo included); I have done necessary repairs and restoration from the inside using original materials wherever possible. All of this work was done to provide extra entertainment and accommodations space rather than altering or adding on to the lovely original house. Anecdotally, I have been told that this house and barn and outbuildings were built in 1858-> 1860 as a retirement home for the original property owners. It sits on just under 2 acres of property carved out of the approximate middle of the large land tract they owned and farmed with their family. I was told that they originally owned from the 20/21st to The Old Barrie Road, from Hwy 93 to Line 2 N., but I cannot verify this. Their original large farmhouse was on Highway 93, but it was abandoned and fell into disuse and was formally demolished not long after I moved here in 2007. Unfortunately, although I did see it before demolition, I did not think to research that home or the full original property before it was gone. (And clearly, the long farm track giving access to this property officially became a part of Line 1 N. at some point.) According to what I was told not long after I moved in by a very elderly neighbour (whose family still owns and farms a significant chunk of the severed original property), the official ownership of this property would not have been registered separately with the Township until it was sold out of the family in 1888 or 1890. In addition to the marvelous original buildings, the property boasts some very old trees, including several original Wolf River apple trees (photo of one is included) as well as other very old apple and pear cultivars, a row of 100+year old (— 140 ft high) evergreens (identified variously as Norway Pines or Norway Spruce by arborists), several towering oaks and maples, and a lovely old grape arbour plus various berry canes, gooseberry bushes, etc. In maintaining the property, I have elected to trim old & dying trees as needed but retain their trunks and large branches as I safely can, and they provide wonderful nesting places for an assortment of birds and small animals. It is a sad fact that many new property owners choose to tear down old homes, even if they are sound and with absolutely no regard for their history, and replace them with huge modern mansions. As a result, an enormous amount of our rural history is neither being retained nor enjoyed. My hope is that my time, effort, and attention to detail(s) will ensure that this particular old house escapes that fate, and continues to provide a safe & secure home in its historical and original form for future owners.

Background Edmund Moon was an early pioneer in the Coldwater River Valley, having arrived in Lower Canada in 1831 via the St Lawrence River from the Liskeard, Cornwall, England. In 1832. Edmund Moon settled on Lot 15, Concession IX of Medonte when it was wilderness and became the Medonte postmaster circa 1838, later named Moonstone in his honour. In 1847, Edmund Moon became a Justice of the Peace and resided in Parry Sound. Henry John Moon and George Moon also arrived in Upper Canada rom Cornwall, England in the early 1830's. Edmund Moon and his wife, Jane Boyd Moon are buried in the Moon Family Cemetery at 7 Ellen Drive in the village of Moonstone. Many of the succeeding generations are buried at St. George's Fairvalley, after it was established the Anglican Church in 1846. Through succeeding generations and marriages, many Moon family relatives remain in the northeastern part of Simcoe County. For example, the Henry John Moon family swapped Liskeard, Cornwall land holdings for Fourmile Point farmlands with Lake Simcoe waterfront, now known as Moon Bay& Moon Point. Biennial Moon Family reunions have been held to celebrate family heritage since 1932, interestingly a century after being its beginnings in Upper Canada. While the family plot is inactive, many in the current generation of Moon families believe it would be appropriate to honour its pioneering relatives beyond the current unmarked lot in Moonstone. Undertaking Page 73 of 86 6.c) Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re: Moon Private Cemetery... A small sub-committee associated with the Biennial Moon Reunion has a delegated responsibility to determine a way to honour early family history in Oro-Medonte and that of Simcoe County through recognition of the private Moon family cemetery in Moonstone. In doing so, we sought advice from Stephen Sanderson of Signature Memorials, a family business with a long history in the business of dedications. In this Topic Summary, we have highlighted three memorial stones or scenarios as rendered by Signature Memorials along with an Estimated Cost Table for your review by the Oro-Medonte Heritage Committee. The estimates are in three tiers, being on a memorial stone with names of the deceased, installation costs, and HST, where applicable. The three memorial drawings outline the engraved stone wording and concrete foundations. Stainless steel dowels are included as a longevity measure and to lessen the possibility of corrosion and tipping by vandals. We have noted the typographical error on the Andrew Carthew Moon line which should be Feb 23,1873 and which will be corrected. For Consideration Our committee will undertake to fund the cost of the selected memorial stone from one of the three options suggested by Signature Memorials, and which has yet to be juried by our committee. This part of the project represents the majority of the capital cost. Our committee would like to suggest Oro-Medonte fund Installation costs and oversee the work being carried by Signature Memorials in accordance with Township standards. We would appreciate Oro-Medonte preparation and installation of a roadside sign for placement close to 7 Ellen Drive in Moonstone, like that placed at the Leigh's Corners cemetery at 1835 Sideroad 15 & 16 East, Hawkestone ON. Our committee will undertake to raise funds for its share of the project and currently has a reserve of approximately$3,000 in its bi-annual reunion fund ear-marked for this purpose. Funds raised in excess of the selected/budgeted scenario will be directed to an increasing in the scale of memorial stone. Apportionment of HST is open for discussion as municipalities possibly enjoy exemptions on parts of its share of the project. Naturally we feel this burden should be equitably shared. In addition to the pricing and not reflected in the estimates, there could be a one-time Ontario cemetery trust fund fee of$200 to $400 depending on the size of the monument and whether such applies to inactive cemeteries. The Moon Family Cemetery is a unique situation and not considered "active", thus might be exempt from this levy. We trust this is sufficient for you to advance this matter and stand ready to answer questions and/or have representatives of our committee appear before your officials as requested. Possible Risks and/or Adverse Consequences While Signature Memorials is an established business, cost estimates might not fully reflect the risks of overruns and/or be comprehensive, and while our committee is optimistic and has a head-start it could have difficulty raising and collecting pledges for its share of the capital costs. Our committee does not contemplate, or anticipate a necessity for legal counsel on this matter. Page 74 of 86 6.c) Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re: Moon Private Cemetery...

A Plinth is a heavy base or stone. In Scenario A it would be engraved with "Moon Family Cemetery". HST Difference of$4.45 on the three Sanderson proposals is possibly due to rounding somewhere.

Is it fair to request Oro-Medonte pick-up the Installation Cost, on which they possibly recover HS along with the levy for the Ontario Cemetery Trust FundT?

MOON CEMETERY CONCESSION 9, LOT 15 MEDONTE TOWNSHIP (NOW ORO MEDONTE TOWNSHIP) The Moon Cemetery lies about 500 feet south of the village of Moonstone, (formerly known as Medonte Central), about 300 feet cast of the eighth concession, in an open field, planned for a new subdivision. Trees skirt its border in roughly the shape of a square.No tombstones remain, if indeed any existed. According to family records, the Moons buried there are: 1.
