2. From Carol Fraser: I finally got into the Gravenhurst Geneology Stuff and was looking through a book that was never published about Riley Lake in the middle of Ryde township. There was on page 27:
WILLIAM FREDERICK HOGUE
In December 1884 at the age of twenty, Fred Hogue located on Con. 3 Lot 23. He acquired a log house which stood just north of what is now the junction between Deerfly Drive and South Fork Road and by 1891 he had married and had two children.
The Hogues left for Saskatchewan in 1900 or 1901. Sometime later, the log house was bought by the McIntosh family, moved and rebuilt. It can be glimpsed, now much obscured by trees, on the left side of the Black River Road on the way to Victoria Bridge, just before the bridge over Riley Creek.
A drawing of the house was sketched by artist and Longford Township cottager Ann Bahen and appears on hasti-notes.
Of the original homestead, one building was still standing in 1936 althought the roof had caved in. Thre wa a root celler underneath.
Hogue's choice of lot may have been influenced by the road to his property. The year before his arrival, Ryde Township Council had appropriated $100.00 to build a road to be known as the Ryley(Sic)Lake Road and in 1885, another $30.00 was allotted to building a bridge over Ryle(sic) Creek. This road which became known as the Hogue Road,was used by lumber companies and latterly was the mail route to Lewisham. According to Johnny Ball whose father George Ball bought the next lot, 24 in 1936, the Hogue establishment was used as a resting and feed spot for horses on the mail run. The bridge was constructed of logs and was consumed in one of the bush fires, never being replaced. Early cottager Sage Snyder and local resident Arnold Sopher related that the abutments of the bridge could still be seen in the 1930's. The beginnings of the Hogue Road can be seen.5km north of Towbridge Road; parts of the original road were followed in constructing Deerfly Drive."
There is a picture of the hasty notes on the bottom of the page with the log house surrounded by evergreens. I will try and find the hasty notes and send you some.. Carol
