J. Edgar Hoover, ex Director of the F.B.I. visited Osgoode Township in the 1920's.

George Hoover, a lawyer in Washington D.C., who was a first cousin of J. Edgar,  married 
Bridget Ellen (Nellie) Christopher, Lot 4, Concession 4 (Stage Coach Road). J. Edgar 
visited Osgoode Township with George Hoover.

A large black car carrying George and J. Edgar caused quite a stir as it negotiated the 
then "cart-track" towards the Christopher farm on the Stage Coach Road.
An article in the Toronto Star Weekly in the 1950's stated that J. Edgar used to like to
slip away to Canada "to let his hair down".
