Fonds F3726 - Robert Alexander Lundy fonds

Reverend Robert Alexander Lundy was born in Peel County in 1874. He was educated in the local school, in Brampton High and Model Schools. He taught school for three years in Bruce County before entering the University of Toronto. Shortly afterwards he moved west to undertake mission work. He served in Northern Manitoba at Harperville, St. Lorent, Rosebank, Lake Francis and Bonny Doon in the winter, and in the summer attended Manitoba College. He graduated in 1900 with a scholarship which gave him a short post-graduate term at Glasgow University, Scotland. Afterwards, his first charge was Port Credit and Dixie where he spent four years. He went to Williamsburg and Winchester Springs in 1904 and in 1909 was called to Walton. While at Walton Lundy brought together the union of the American and Presbyterian Churches and built a new church. He also organized a congregation at Moncrieff, nine miles from Walton, and gave them a Sunday service. Lundy spent 11 years at Walton and Moncrieff, then went to Kippen for seven years, followed by Nile Charge near Goderich for the last three years of his ministry. Lundy died in 1933.
