Cousins George Ryan and Charles Turpel 1909
  • Relationship: Granduncle of Lauren Fearncombe.
  • Note*: Charles Duncan Turpel ARTICLE FROM: DO YOU REMEMBER? in the Halton-Peel Newsletter June 1999. Page 99-29 by Harry G. Duff: "Around 1910 Charlie Turpel of Erindale married Mildred Rutledge of Cooksville (my note, she was from Port Credit). They moved into a small orchard farm just east of Kirwin Avenue on the north side of Dundas Street. I don't know when it was (as far back as I can remember, there was always a Turpel's Market) but sometime later they opened a fruit market right beside their home to sell apples, plums, cherries, strawberries, and other of their farm produce. Their products were good, and the market was successful. It soon outstripped the farm and became their main occupation - or at least, Mildred's. Both she and Charlie were active in the market, but Mildred was the main driving force. Although their sign did not proclaim it, everyone knew it as "Ma Turpel's Market".
    In the 1940's the market had it's heyday. It had gained a reputation in west Toronto for the quality of the produce, and weekends became bedlam. Turpel's products extended first to both sides of the sidewalk, and later to both sides of the highway. Pedestrians had to be careful as they walked past, not to step into a basket of tomatoes, and highway customers were forced to park along the sides of the highway well up and down the street. MIldred was frequently in trouble with her neighbours because of this, and on a fine weekend day, it was downright dangerous to drive past at any but the slowest speeds.
    It was probably lack of parking that beat Ma Turpel in the end. In the market's good days, in the 1940's, Dundas Highway was only two lanes wide. Sometime in the 1950's more land was expropriated and the street was widened to four lanes. Mildred and Charlie were getting older and business could no longer be as successful or enjoyable as it had been in the past. They closed down their market for good. The building was rented out for other purposes a few times but never regained the reputation and activity that Ma Turpel's had had."

    "The Civil War divided our nation, Americans fighting Americans, brother against brother. The war lasted four long years before the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, VA. Many historians say that a key battle fought westward was the turning point in the war: the Battle of Vicksburg. President Abraham Lincoln had declared "Vicksburg is the key...the war can never be brought to a close until that key is in our pocket."

    On bluffs 250 feet high, the city of Vicksburg, MS, overlooks the Mississippi River on the Louisiana-Mississippi state boundary. The river was a key supply route for the Confederate forces in the West. These forces at Vicksburg, commanded by Lieutenant General John Clifford Pemperton, obtained soldiers and supplies from Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and the Mississippi Yazoo Delta district. Vicksburg was one of the war’s great fortified strongholds. On the high bluffs, Confederate forces positioned artillery batteries ready to challenge the passage of Union ships. Gaining control of Vicksburg and the Mississippi River would open a major supply artery for the Union forces."

The cornerstone was laid on May 30, 1843. St John's Anglican church still stands on Yonge St in North York, Toronto.
  • (Witness) History: John Campbell Turpel would have witnessed the same as this "Viator" This letter describes Cooksville & Springfield in 1847 and also mentions that the gristmill in Springfield had burned to the ground. That was the timeframe during which JC Turpel moved his family from Hogg's Hollow to Springfield (later called Erindale). It was later written by J.C Turpel's daughter-in-law, Frances, that JC Turpel had gone to Springfield in order to build a gristmill for "Vanostrand." <--this would be Cornelius

    A Tour of the West
    LETTERS BY VIATOR FOR THE BRITISH WHIG - 1847

    LETTER NO. III

    Cooksville:

    The neat and improving Village of Cooksville is situated on Dundas Street, sixteen miles from Toronto; it numbers about 400 inhabitants. It contains three excellent houses of accommodation, one large, well furnished Store, an extensive Furniture Warehouse, a Post Office, Blacksmith's and Sadler's Shop, and a "Fashionable Tailor's Establishment"; together with numerous "concerns" of less note. In the centre of the fine tract lying between Port Credit and this village, a capital Steam Saw Mill has been lately erected by the Messrs. Romain, which apprises you of its whereabouts long ere you can see it, by the reverberations of its machinery through the profusidity of the pine forest, - to use an expression of an egotistical writer in a late number of the Church. The country from Toronto to this place, is well cleared and in a high state of cultivation. The loghouses and shanties, the primitive indispensable of the settlers, have long since disappeared to make room for the more commodious and respectable frame buildings with its green blinds, or brick cottage, glorying in its florid front. It is really astonishing to find what a few years of patient industry and sobriety will accomplish in converting the untrodden forests into smiling abodes of independence and happiness. Toronto can well boast of having in its immediate vicinity some of the finest farms in this or any other country.

    From Cooksville, I travelled in one of the numerous stages which ply between the city and villages on Dundas Street, to Springfield. Here I found a friend of mine comfortably located with the worthy hostess of the Royal Arms Hotel, of which I shall say a little by and by.

    Springfield:
    This sweet, picturesque and enchanting village, is situated on the right bank of the River Credit, from which a charming view is had of several "bends" of this beautiful stream. Some idea may be formed of the exquisite scenery which environs this pretty spot, from a first glance calling to my recollection some of those inimitable views on Killarney's Lakes. The River at this place, takes a wide and circuitous sweep between high banks crowned with venerable Oaks and towering Pines. The "flats" on both sides the steam are now cleared, then covered with bushy shrubs; here waving with yellow corn, there reposing in solitary beauty, while the limped stream, like a silver cord, winds its tortuous course along-- at one place broken into myriad of bubbles by the rocky bed, another leaping gaily over a sudden declivity -- a perfect miniature cataract -- rendered more pleasing from its sweet associations, while again it glides gracefully by -- scarcely kissing the pebbles on its enameled border. The village numbers 500 inhabitants; and contains one Store, one Furniture Manufactory, a Saw Mill, two well ordered Taverns, and one capital Hotel, kept by my hostess, Madam Cavanahthan, than whom can be found none more ready to pay attention to her guests; her beds are perfect luxuries, clean, well aired and soft. I strongly recommend a visit to this section of the country, to pay their devoirs to the landlady of the "Royal Arms."
    An extensive Grist Mill has lately been burnt down - it is strange that there seems no likelihood of another being erected in its place; it is a matter of reproach to those capitalists in the village. I was astonished to find that such valuable water privileges had not been taken advantage of. There is a neat and commodious English Church here (Lauren's note: St Peter's Anglican), but miserably attended. The Protestant population is about 200, yet not more than 20 people attend. This shows that, either the people are very careless and indolent, or that the Curate is very lax in his spiritual admonitions * . Some few years back this place was the resort of numerous fishermen, who in the season found ample sport for their trouble; but "Othello's occupation's gone." Then it was deemed only fair sport to spear 80 or 100 Salmon a day -- now you can with difficulty procure a dozen. The River, however, abounds with some large silver eel (Lauren's note: Duncan Turpel used to fish for eel in this same place behind his house - probably his father did so before him), which amply repay the trouble of catching them. Trout are rarely hooked so far down the stream, but hearing that farther up there was abundance, I expressed a desire to go; my friend immediately formed a party of five, to start early in the morning, for a pond some fifty miles north-west. Then hey! for the "boundless continuity of" -- woods. A perfectly enchanting drive to two hours, over a smooth road, and through beautiful scenery, brought us to the village, town more properly, of Streetsville. But enough for this letter.
