| 151 | Underhill, Stanley Gordon: Underhill's had a large shoe factory in BARRIE, Ontario, on what is now DUNLOP STREET, EAST, on the waterfront, in operation up until the mid 1950's. Would suggest that Simcoe County Archives, the Simcoe County OGS,The Barrie Examiner (newspaper) Archives, should be full of trivia on the Underhill Shoe Factory. In 1950, two Underhill Brothers operated the factory, and were at logger-heads with each other. They dealt with The Bank of Toronto | Underhill, Stanley Gordon (I1436)

| 154 | Wallis, Frederick R.: James Edward Wallis, born in Clifton Cottage on the shores of Lake Huron, between Goderich and Bayfield, Ontario, Canada, was the father of nine children. He came to this area alone in 1890, looking for land on which some of his boys could settle, because there was none available in Bayfield Township where he lived. After exploring, he chose two sections bordering the Munuscong River, south and east of the present village of Rudyard, and purchased them from the railroad. When their father returned home, John and Fred, ages 20 and 19 respectively, were sent on their great adventure to the wild country of Northern Michigan. At that time there were only trails and paths through the woods for travel, but the Old Mackinac Trail led from the Sault through both of their sections. John chose the land north of the Rudyard Trail and Fred settled on the south section. Annie, a sister, came for a time to keep house for her brothers. She met and married Sidney Welch who had also came from Canada. Fred met Elizabeth Brundson, who with her family had also migrated from Canada. They were married July 1, 1896. Fred had built a small frame house on his property where the couple immediately settled. This house is still part of the Charles Wallis home. John would soon return to Canada to marry and return with his bride. ( See John Wallis History.) "One story Grandfather Fred liked to tell about his courtship was his walks to the Brundson farm about four miles away on the other side of the river. In the spring when the river was in flood he walked to the edge but could find no log to walk across, so he took off his clothes, tied them in a bundle, threw them to the other side, and swam the river. After dressing again, he proceeded to his girl friend's home." John and Fred cleared land in the summer and planted what they could. They worked in lumber camps in the winter to make money to buy provisions and other needed equipment. The wives did chores and looked after things at home. They assisted each other and acted as midwives when their children were born. (Information is from the Rudyard Centennial Book, 1883 Rudyard Mich. 1983 First Hundred Years) | Wallis, Frederick R. (I682)
