      The policy of the Willowdale neighbors was to refrain from war-like & treasonable measures. When the time for action came, they must have felt some doubts about their course & Lockman Cummer remembers starting with his father to the Methodist prayer-meeting where the neighbors were to ask Divine guidance in their deliberations. At this time they decided to stand aloof from more radical measures.
