MISSIONS AND CHURCHES
As there were a number of Presbyterians in the lower end of the
township, the Rev. Dr. Ferrier, of Caledonia, held services in the
people's houses; he was the second minister in the township.
Before the Indians all removed from this township, the Rev. W. H.
Landon, a minister of the regular Baptist Church, came to the Grand
River for the purpose of establishing a mission among the Indians, and
also to secure a home for himself. He settled on Lot 52 river range, and
built a house in which he resided for several years, at the same time
labouring for the spiritual welfare of the Indians on both sides of the
river. He appears to have been very successful, for we find such men as
Revs. B. H. Carrier, Jas. N. Cusick, Joseph Longfish, and Seth Claus,
all native Indians, as the fruits of his labour. Elder Landon commenced
his mission labours about 1843 or 1844, and therefore lays claim to
being the first to form a Baptist Church in this township. The farm on
which he settled was resurrendered to the Indians, and is now owned and
occupied by Isaac Davis, an Indian.
