BRYDEN, JAMES

In the death on Wednesday, July 10, 1929, at his home on lot 1 on the Gore Line of Puslinch, that township loses its oldest resident. He was in his 90^th year. Day in and day out, for nearly four score years, James Bryden, Puslinch pioneer, had been a tiller of the soil. He had grown venerable on the land, the furrows of which he had turned first on the homestead, near New Dundee and then, on his farm in the south end of the township, near the Waterloo Line, for over seventy years. Although his eyes were dimmed with the years and his face seamed with the lines of time, his bearing, up to the last, was that of a man proud in the knowledge that he was one of those who had done his part in opening up of a new country. Born in Selkirkshire, Scotland, he came to Canada when three years of age. His father, James Bryden was a pioneer of the New Dundee area. Mr. Bryden moved to Puslinch, where he had resided for over fifty years. Until ten days, ago he had enjoyed good health and was up and around. Then, he suffered a broken leg and since had been confined to his bed. He is survived by three daughters and two sons, Mrs. A. Lake of Hespeler; Miss Mary Bryden of Mt. Clair, NJ; Miss Margaret at home; Thomas in Carman, MB; and John at home. Mr. Bryden was a member of Central Presbyterian Church in Galt. Funeral from his residence to Mount View Cemetery on Friday at 2, conducted by Rev. M. B. Davidson. Pallbearers were six nephews: J. B. Bryden, J. A. Bryden, R. W. Bryden, James Welsh, Walter Robson and John Wolfe.

Notes:

Mrs. James Brydon - This old and respected resident of Waterloo died on Monday morning last, after a long and painful illness. The deceased lady was born in Scotland and married there, coming to Canada in 1842, settling in Waterloo, 40 years ago, on the farm where she died. Her family consisted of ten children, seven sons and three daughters, the first bread by death in the family occurring when Mr. John Brydon met with the lamentable accident by the run-away team in Galt about three years ago. The other members of the family are Mr. James Brydon, of Puslinch, Mr. Francis Brydon, of Hanover, Mr. William Brydon, Blair Road, Mr. Robert Brydon, of Guelph township, and the two younger sons, who with three daughters are residing on the homestead.

The respect in which the family is held bears the strongest testimony to the worth of the lady of whom we write. Occupying a position of prominence they hold the esteem of the community, and are deservedly regarded with feelings of confidence. The sympathy of the community for them and the aged father who has lost his partner in life, is heartily accorded.

The funeral on Wednesday was very numerously attended. Mrs. Brydon was interred in Doon cemetery.

Notes:

Death of Mr. James Welsh, Sr., of Waterloo

The death of this very old resident of Waterloo Township appeared in our last issue. Mr. Welsh came from near Jedburg, Selkirkshire, to Canada in 1833 or 1834, and on arriving in this section took a job at chopping for Mr. Puddicombe, of near Haysville. Next taking a contract on the Macadamized road, near Galt, which was then being improved. His companions on the voyage out, Messrs. Thomas and James Dalgleish and himself, subsequently took up the farm which afterwards was the homestead of the late Thomas Marshall, Township Clerk, on which they remained for a short time. After being two years here he returned to the Old County, where he was married in 1836 to Miss Catherine Linton, a sister of the late Walter Linton and Mrs. Henderson, of Galt. He returned to Galt shortly after his marriage and was employed by the late Absalom Shade for some time. He then took up the farm near Orr's Lake subsequently, and now owned by Mr. George Barrie, on which he remained for a year or two, then leaving there and removing on to the farm in Waterloo, where he died, and on which he had lived for forty-six years. For some years Mr. Welsh has retired from any active attempt to farm, but he still resided on the place.

It seems almost incredible, but it is nevertheless the fact that his death was the first break in his family. Married over 53 years ago, his family consisted of two sons and three daughters, who with his widow are all living. Of his sons, James has been for some years farming in Manitoba, while John has lived on and cultivated the homestead in Waterloo. His eldest daughter Margaret, was married to the late John Robson, of North Dumfries, and is living now near Deloraine, Manitoba, the second daughter, Jane, is Mrs. James Brydon, of Puslinch, and the third daughter, Mary Ann, married Mr. Wolf, and now resides near Guelph.

Mr. Welsh was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a regular attendant of Knox church, Ayr, under the ministrations of Rev. John Thomson, between whom and his aged parishioner warm feelings of friendship existed. Mr. Welsh was buried in Ayr new cemetery. And thus one by one, we chronicle the removal from amongst us of the strong armed men who hewed out this country from a wilderness, and built smiling homes, where peace and plenty, honesty and piety, with a generous hospitality, are characteristic.
