From "An Historic Album of Paisley" submitted by Mrs. Nelson Howe and W.Cameron
Not long after Simon Orchard settled here James Walker and his bride Janet Fisher Walker made their way into the newly opened territory. They came by train to Galt, drove in a wagon as far as Durham, walked to Walkerton, and got a chance ride to Dunkeld. Here they were met by a cousin Mr. J.C. McIntyre of Elderslie Twp., who walked with them back to Paisley, to pilot the way through the bush on a blazed trail.
When they arrived at Paisley, they built a log house, the first one on the north-east side of the Saugeen River, in the village. This street is now known as Goldie Street. To get across the river they had to use a raft and a pole.
In 1858, a daughter was born, Catherine Walker who was the first white child christened in Paisley (according to Mr. W. Cameron's records).
Little development had taken place here, and the struggle for livelihood in the settlement on the banks of the Saugeen and Teeswater Rivers was hard and never ending; but the pride of possession of their own land, and the love of their young family, now two children, compensated for the hardships and privations. James and Janet dreamed of a bright and happy future in the new land for their children. Then tragedy struck the home as James Walker died after three short years, leaving his widow with a young family.
Her world may have fallen apart but Janet Walker had no time for grieving. With small mouths to feed, she looked about her for a means of liveli-hood. This land of hope had little opportunity for a young widow and mother.
Most of what development there had been in the village was to the west of the Saugeen. There was a bridge over the Teeswater River but the Saugeen had not been spanned. But with new homes being established on Knox Hill (Goldie Street) and Elderslie Twp. being opened up there was a limited traffic from the east. Janet Walker saw that need and set up a ferry service by rowboat across the river. There was a bell on the bank of the river and when people wanted to get across, they would ring the bell and Janet Walker would come down the bank to take them across. One can picture her, proud and defiant, bowed by physical burden (using only raft and pole as her equipment), but with spirit unbroken, polling her craft across the Saugeen River. How long she operated the ferry is unknown but her intrepid spirit enabled her to keep her home and family together. Some years later she married William Houston, and went to live on his farm in Greenock Twp.
