The Cloyne and District Historical Society (CDHS) owns and operates the Pioneer Museum and Archive on Highway #41 in the hamlet of Cloyne, Ontario, Canada. Since 1972, we've been recording and preserving the history of North Lennox & Addington and North Frontenac Counties. In 2022, Griffith and Matawatchan's areas were added to our catchment area. Our 3,300 sq.ft. museum now boasts archives, displays, books, photos, and literature. We also have a gift corner with detailed books about the area. The CDHS is an incorporated organization with charitable status. We operate primarily with volunteers and donations.

Flinton Home - Owned by Forbes and Yorks - 1964

    This photo is potentially Mrs. Casey's Store in Flinton. I've received some new information to the contrary which I will follow up on and confirm here in future!
    (Mrs. Casey's daughter's first name was Jeanine. Mrs. Casey also had a son named Cyril. The far room contained a pool table and a shuffleboard table. I remember my brother Barry and I buying penny candies at Mrs. Casey's store from Jeanine with money given to us by our grandfather, Wilfrid Lessard in the mid to late 1960's.)
  • Robber Esq said:
    This was the home of Fred A. York (1876-1922) and his wife Mabel Jane Wagar (1879-1962). I believe she lived here until about the time of her death. My mother, Meryl York, was born in this house in 1932. Fred York was a blacksmith whose shop was across the road in the building that became Davison's Garage (since torn down). This house had been a store and Mom said you could still see the bell for ringing for help. Fred A. York's parents Frederick Haner York (1840-1888) and Margaret Cummings (1840-1927) were storekeepers in Flinton from the 1880s and Margaret continued on after his death.

    This says Date unknown, but she doesn't look much older than in this 1936 photo:
  • Cloyne and District Historical Society said:
    Fritz Rambo, Pablo Fonzirelli, Friedrich Kahlo World's Greatest Dogs Good catch. There is no date with the photo; however, c1936 would be a good estimate. Thanks for the input!
