HISTORICAL/ASSOCIATIVE:
Abraham Odlum received the Crown Patent for all 200
acres of land on Lot 17, Concession 9 ND, in 1834.
Oldum, who settled in Tullamore circa 1829, was granted
over 1000 acres of land in Toronto Gore. Under the
terms of Odlum’s last will and testament in 1854, Lot 17,
Concession 8 ND was under the ownership of his estate.
Although land records show Thomas Clarke acquired the
east half of Lot 17 from Edward D. H. Oldum in 1858,
Tremaine’s map (1859) records John Odlum as the
owner of the east half of Lot 17, without a building.
Land records note John C. “Kerr” bought the east half of
Lot 17, Concession 8 ND in 1871. The township
assessment roll (1874) reports Thomas Wilkinson as a
tenant on Lot 17, Concession 8 ND, which was owned
by John C. Kerr. John Kerr was a non-resident owner.
Lynch’s Directory (1873-74) lists Robert and Thomas
Wilkinson on Lot 17, Concession 8 ND. A tenant was not
noted on the property in the 1870s and 1880s. The
Illustrated Historical Atlas (1877) shows John “Carr’ as
the owner of the east half of Lot 17 with a farmhouse and
orchard immediately west of the watercourse in the
location of the present residence.
Isaac Wilson bought the east half of Lot 17, Concession
8 ND from Kerr in 1884. Assessment rolls indicate
Wilson was a non-resident living in Toronto. He leased
the property to William Thomas Wilson of Tullamore from
the 1880s to the mid 1890s. William T. Wilson was noted
as a non-resident farmer of the property in the 1891
assessment roll. John Harrison leased the 100-acre
property on the east half of Lot 17, Concession 8 ND in
1897 and Fred Clark of Tullamore in 1898 and 1899.
The Census Return (1901) records Thomas and Sarah
Ellis and family on the 100 acres of the east half of Lot
17, Concession 8 ND living in a 6-room frame house. A
note with agricultural census states, “The party has just
moved on this property”. William T. Wilson and others
sold the east half of the lot to Reginald R. Shaw in 1910.
Ten years later the Census Return (1911) reports that
Reginald and Martha [?] Shaw lived on Lot 17,
Concession 8 ND. Shaw sold the property to Richard H.
Turner in 1920. Elsie Turner as the executor of Richard
