GREETINGS FROM THE WARDEN OF HURON COUNTY
Dear Friends in the
Huron County Historical
Society,
On Tuesday, December 7th, 2004 the Reeve of North Huron,
Doug Layton was acclaimed Warden. Outgoing Warden Bill
Dowson of Bluewater placed the Chain of Office on the new Warden's neck, presented the Ceremonial Key of Office, the
Warden's Pin and
a gavel to him.
Warden Doug
Layton is the
137th person to
serve as Warden
of Huron County.
Born and
raised in Tuckersmith
Township
on a farm
between Clinton
and Brucefield,
his roots run deep
in Huron County.
Doug Layton
went to Wingham
where he
operated a furniture
business and
works in partnership
in the funeral
home business. As
a well-known and
respected
business person
and active
community
member, he has
been a familiar face on Main Street Wingham for over 35 years.
Married for forty years, he and his wife Marilyn have two
married children and four grandchildren. Son Jeff and his family
live in Wingham, while daughter Jennifer and her family reside
in Bryanston. He served as Councillor for the former Ward of
Wingham, was the first Reeve of North Huron and served on
County Council for six years. Warden Layton, often accompanied
by his wife Marilyn, attended many events during his term as
Warden.
"It is a great honour and pleasure to have served as Warden
and I enjoyed every moment of it. Getting around the County,
meeting the great people of Huron County and working with the
County staff was very rewarding. I will always remember the
special celebrations that marked the 60th Anniversary of Victory
in Europe Celebration and fondly recall the ceremony to mark the
Liberation of Holland by the Dutch people to show their gratitude
again to Canadians.
As a person who has always had an interest in the history of North Huron and throughout the County, I offer best wishes and thanks to the Huron County Historical Society for your continued work in telling our story."
