Mary Florence Stevenson Miller
(nee Tredway)
Mary
Miller, a long time resident of this community, passed away on
January 7th, 2010 in her 96th year. Our
condolences go out to her children George and Caroline and her
grandchildren and family.
Mary
was the loving wife of the late William G. Miller (former school
trustee) after whom a school is named in our area. Mary lived a
long, productive and fulfilled life. She was a world traveller,
a leader in her community, and was a dedicated life member of
the Highland Creek Women’s Institute (which celebrated their 100th
anniversary in 2008).
Her
family (Tredway) owned a farm south of Lawrence Ave between
Centennial Road and Highland Creek. Her grandfather was a
former owner of the Watson farm on Centennial Road. At the time
her grandfather owned the farm it was known as the “Cherrydale
Farm”. The original tree lined entrance to the farm still exits
today. The farm was later sold to the Watson family.
Mary
maintained a keen mind in her later years and was able to relate
stories of local people and historical information about the
early days around Port Union. She used to visit the schools in
our area to talk about the history of our community.
As a
tribute to Mary, we will be featuring the information she used
for her school visits in this and the March edition of the CCRA
News. We have slightly edited Mary’s notes to fit, but her
colourful stories of our early history still ring true. We
hope you enjoy them.

Beer trivia
A few fun tidbits
to share over a brew. Did you know…?
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the
rim or handle of their ceramic cup. When they needed a refill, they
used the whistle to get service, resulting in today's phrase, "Wet your
Whistle"
Attend the CCRA Beer Tasting
event Saturday March 27, 2010 at the West Rouge Community Centre and learn
more about beer!
