  • Notes 
    • George is the son of Frederick Felker & Jane Monkman.

      . The old wooden rink was on Tower Street, where the steel Agricultural Hall is now. It had 16 laps to the mile, later 14 laps after the building was enlarged. We remember it well, with its sharp corners & low roof.

      . Mr. Vallery's first race was against Gib McArthur of Grand Valley, the second against 'Pedie' Felker of Fergus who was later shot in a hunting accident.

      . With the Grand River reduced to a mere trickle of water in winter, there is no expanse of ice for skating, close at hand. But at the turn of the century it was common practice or the young people to skate to Fergus & back on the river.
