    JAMES FORD, proprietor of the only saw mill in Glenmorris, is a native of Canada, having been born 16th February, 1837, and is a son of James and Margaret Ford, the former a native of Scotland and the latter of England. They emigrated to Canada, where the father (who had followed the trade of a baker in the mother country, but became a farmer in Canada) died in 1846, and the mother in 1860. The farm which Mr. Ford Senr., possessed at the time of his death is now owned by his son, and is located on Lot 19, 7th concession. James, the subject of this sketch, was married 19th January, 1868, to Agnes Sudden, daughter of John and Margaret Sudden, and who was born 29th January, 1848. They have a family of four children-James, Margaret H., Alice H. and Antoinette. the saw mill which Mr. Ford first owned was built in 1872, and was destroyed by fire in 1877. Mr. Ford rebuilt the same the saw mill he at present owns, and it is one adapted in all respects for logging, cutting shingles, etc., and has proved , in a business point of view, an eminent success. He is also owner of the property that lies between his house and the river, as well as a blacksmith shop and two separate properties, one 140 acres and the other 290 acres- in all 430 acres-besides his town property and 100 acres in the Township of Melanchton. He has also associated the business of lime burning, and has made himself, by enterprise, one of the most prosperous men in the county.
