Notes:

Isaac Woolner, "father to Rev. Jacob and Isaac Woolner, was born near Beckles, St. Andrews Township, Suffolk County, England, August 1st, 1792, and died April 8th, 1860. He was married to Sarah Hembling who was born July 11th, 1797, and died of cholera, at Bridgeport, Ontario, July 8th, 1832. In 1832 they, with their family of six children, together with William Howlett and family and James Howlett and family, emigrated to America, arriving at Hamilton, Ontario, during the third week in June. While at Hamilton they, for several days, resided in a house in which the former residents had died of cholera. Here they contracted this dreadful disease which proved fatal to so many of the small number immediately after their arrival at Mr. Peter Erb's, a little north of Bridgeport, in the evening of the 28th day of June, 1832. They came from Hamilton with Mr. Peter Erb who was there on business. No sooner were they in possession of their new home when one of their children took sick and before morning proved a victim to cholera. In less than ten days eight of the party died of the same disease. Some are buried on Dilman Moyer's farm near Bridgeport while the Howlett's are buried at Snyder's, Bloomingdale. Noah Hembling and his wife, relatives of those who came in 1831, also died of the same disease. They are buried on Mr. Moyer's farm. After the decease of the mother of the named family, the father, Isaac Woolner, was married again. His second wife was Bridget Connor, widow of Mr. Connor. There were six children of the second wife, namely: Ann, married to Samuel Rowney, Abraham, William, married to a Miss Moore, George, James, and Mary Jane, married to Joseph Carr.

• Eby ID Number: 000136-8353.1
• Epidemic: 1832, Bridgeport (Kitchener), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; Cholera

Notes:

North of the village of Bridgeport, on the corner of two adjoining farms, lie, the bodies of cholera victims. Mr. Wilfred Roedding of Bridgeport in 1966, can remember seeing at least 2 large crosses and 4 or 5 small crosses. The people buried here are: Mrs. Isaac Woolner (Sara Hembling) born Jul 11 1797 died July 8, 1832. One Woolner child June 29, 1832, Noah Hembling (brother of Sarah), Noah Hembling's wife Hannah, their daughter Mary Hembling 1825-1832.

These people are buried in the corner lots ot two farms, the Dilman Moyer farm and the farm of John Brubacher, later Roedding and 1965 Angus Snyder farmer, now sold for development and the property of the present Brubaker farm. The house of the Dilman Moyer was across the road, and the barn where the Oswald Mink Farm is. Mr. Wilfred Roedding remembers (1966) seeing wooden crosses in 1905, and the date on the crosses was nearly faded, but could make out he the date of 1832. Dilman Moyer sold the farm to Pomeroy, J. B. In 1906 and moved Disbury, Alberta. He remembers 2 larges crosses and possibly 4 or 5 small crosses. The mounds of the graves could still be seen in -1940 and possibly there are still a few mounds today (1966)

Notes:

Looking for Ephraim WILLSON born 1793, his wife, a daughter Amy WILLSON born 1818, and a son Ephraim Jr. born 1819. The children where all born in Yorkshire. They arrived in Canada around 1829 and settled in Waterloo Twsp. Ont. The family farm came to be called Hemlock Grove Farms. It was located in the German Tract settlement.

Ephraim Sr. married 3 times. His first wife, unknown name, died about 1833 shortly after the family arrived in Canada; his second wife Elizabeth GOFTON he married 5 October 1835; he married his third wife Margaret McCLOY after his second wife's death in 1853.
Amy WILLSON married a John BRIGHTON. Many of the BRIGHTON's in Waterloo County are their descendants.

Ephraim Willson Jr. married Catherine O'BRIEN on 22 October 1844. Later in about 1867 Ephraim Jr. and his family left Waterloo Twsp. and moved to Plympton twsp. Lambton Co. Ont. where alot of my branch of the family has been ever since. Many in Ephraim Jr.'s branch of the family had one of the "L"s dropped hence the last name became WILSON. Does anyone recognize this family?

Funeral Card

________________


In 1847, an Irish family, Alexander McCloy, Sr., his wife and children emigrated to Canada. It was the time of the potato famine in Ireland and it was with great difficulty that money for the passage could be raised. Steerage passengers endured great hardships. All that was provided was hard tack, all other food was brought on board the passengers themselves. One of the younger McCloy children died at sea, another died at Five Locks near Bytown (now Ottawa). The destination of the McCloy family was Seaforth, Ont., where other relatives had come some time before, but on arriving at Preston, Ont., the father was so ill they could go no further. He died there and the kindly Joseph Erb family and others of Preston gave him a decent burial. Mrs. McCloy was stricken with brain fever and her life was despaired of, but again, kindly neighbors nursed her back to life and helped the widow to find homes for the older children, David, William and Mary. Joseph Erb gave Mrs. McCloy a house, rent free, for eight years. This story has a hanpy ending. Ephraim Wilson an English gentleman of means, married the widow, Mrs. McCloy, and her daughter Mary married Isaac, the son of Ephraim Wilson and they all lived happily ever after.
