After one meeting of the legion members their wives went and destroyed the inside of their hall. The Church was then sold for residential use and the funds put into the perpetual care for the St. Fridolin Cemetery Association across the road from the Church.In 1880 the muddy road was extended to join up to the 109th Ave No.which had sections made with logs & gravel called corduroy bridges or roads.
