. 1881 Oct 20, Lot 2, Con 2: Thomas McCutcheon & wife brought the land from Hugh A Stewart, 1866 Jan 9 he sold it to son Hugh Robert McCutcheon & wife who settled on the farm when they married & lived there all there married life.
At that time they lived in a log house across the lane from the present one. There was a small barn they built the new one in 1894, the stone pig pen in 1896, the double brick house in 1900. Brick for the house was all hauled from Milton Brick Yards by team & sleigh. There was no sleighing that winter until after New Years. All the lumber, including scantlings & shingles were cut in the swamp, with the exception of the kitchen floor which was maple. For some reason the brick layer had every brick dripped in water. Son Tom thought he could do that job but a pile of brick fell on him, knocking him unconscious & caused a number of cuts & bruises.
The youngest daughter Bertha, was the first baby to be born in the new house.
The implement shed was built 1907 between the house & barn. At one time there were about 8 apple trees, 2 plum & 2 cherry trees. The last Dutchess apple tree at the front of the house near the road, was cut down in 1963 by Fred Archibald who was living there then.
About 1912 a well was dug at the edge of the swamp & the windmill pumped water to the thought in the shed. The McCutcheons kept Shorthorn cattle, Yorkshire pigs & Lincoln sheep.
When Thomas, better known as T.D. , was married his day. Lois & son Robert were born there. In later years when Bertha married Thomas Aitken, they lived in half of the house & their dau. & son Marion & Mervin were also born there.
