Notes: Church of Bond Head by C.A. Mitchell, 1934 (transcribed from back of photo)
"This photograph was taken from the rear of the church. A point of interest is the seats or benches. These, I believe, were constructed at Holland Landing, Ont., considered in those days a distant town. Due to the primitive methods of transportation, it was a task, no doubt, to remove the benches from the place of manufacture to the church. You will note that the ...seat has no back, save for one slender piece of wood which serves the double purpose of holding the bench rigid and prevents the worshipper from falling backwards. I was told by the present Clergyman that the latter purpose is not always served in the case of children, and it is not uncommon to have the service disturbed by a child tumbling backwards. Perhaps the future Sir William interrupted one of his father's sermons by one of these somersaults." (transcribed from letter by Dr. Charles A. Mitchell)
