    Notes:

    Mr. R. Kenning, one of Elmira's first settlers died suddenly at his home in Berlin on Friday. He arose early in the morning and ate a hearty breakfast, after which he cut a little wood, did a few other chores and went into the house. He was about to light his pipe when he fell over dead. The northeastern part of Elmira was surveyed by him. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and we believe the lot on which the Elmira Presbyterian Church is erected was presented to that body by him. He leaves a widow, four sons and four daughters, and was 80 years old.

    Rev. Alexander Gale was a Presbyterian professor at the University of Toronto and some of his students had ministered to Elmira's Free Church followers in the 1850s. The first Presbyterian church, costing $450 in 1868, honoured Gale. It was built at 2 Cross St., on land donated by Robert Kenning from County Down, Ireland. Kenning and wife Margaret Walker helped Elmira grow in another way - raising 17 children. Gale Presbyterian was a landmark until April 2012, when the new Barnswallow Drive church opened. In 2018, Gale will host its own 150th celebrations. Technique Dance Studio now occupies 2 Cross Str.
