6th Line Church

Photo of the Sixth Line Presbyterian Church that served a variety of areas in Innisfil. This building was torn down and moved across the lake to Sutton and rebuilt as a Presbyterian Church there. Before it was torn down Mrs. May Reive's grandfather James Reid was Superintendent of the Sunday School for some time. The image shows the front entrance of the wooden church, with two rounded-arch windows flanking either side of the door. A woman in a black coat and hat stands in the doorway, and a layer of snow covers the ground. According to the Innisfil Historical Review published 1951 (page 123) a log church was first built at the Sixth Line in 1844. In 1862 a new frame structure was built. The frame church was sold in 1927 before being moved.

The ornate cemetery walls were built by Alfred Davis, a stonemason of Belle Ewart, who learned his trade from his father-in-law, Joe Gregg.

Stone Cairn

The cairn also bears the dates 1832-1932, represting the arrival of the pioneers and the date of the cairn's construction, and small nameplates for each surname of the original settlers on each side of the cairn. The inscription reads: "To commemorate this honored group of Scotch Dalhousie settlers - Allan, Cross, Climie, Duncan, Laurie, Jack, Todd, Wallace - who came to Innisfil, A.D. 1832 after ten years stay in Dalhousie Township, Lanark County, Ontario. This emblem erected by their descendants A.D. 1932 and placed on the threshold of the pioneer log kirk and a later edifice."
