A man of quiet habits, he took no part in municipal life. He was a good neighbour and respected by all who knew him.

    Notes:

    Niles Peter Holm, "was born March 16th, 1811. In his younger years he was converted and joined the church of his choice, the River Brethren, which body he served faithfully until his death. When about thirty-five years of age he was ordained as a minister of the River Brethren denomination. He was an active worker in the Lord's vineyard and was well received by all classes of people who used to assemble at his appointed place of worship. He not only had the unlimited confidence of the members of his own congregation but his friends and admirers were many amongst those of other denominations and such that had no connections with any of the religious bodies of our country. It would not be saying too much to make the assertion that this servant of God died without a single enemy. He resided a little east of Hespeler where he died December 13th, 1880. He was married to Susannah Cober who was born June 4th, 1813, and died a few years ago. She proved to be a noble helpmate unto her husband in assisting him in performing the many duties connected with his pastoral callings. She was a noble woman, a kind and sympathetic neighbor, and a true follower of her Master. Her end was peace. The winged arrow of death bore her soul away to the spiritual mansions beyond the skies. They had a family of eleven children, of whom only four were left to mourn the loss of their dear parents. Their names are as follows:"

    HOLM, SUSANNA (Nee Cober)

    Death of a Very Old Resident

    One by one, those who first settled in Puslinch are going. Mrs. Neil Holm settled with her late husband, who died some years ago, on the farm where she died on Thursday, November 19, 1891. She had just entered her 79th year. In 1835, she came from the township of Vaughan, county of York, where she was born and being a sister of the late Jacob Cober and Nicholas Cober, settled at the same time almost opposite the farm of Jacob Cober, on which his sons at present reside. Mrs. Holm was one of those, whose living made the world the brighter seem. Her daily life shone with the brightness of Christianity. All who knew her fully respected the high moral tone of her character. A noble woman was Mrs. Holm, true to herself and all the world. She died as she lived. She leaves a son, Daniel Holm of Puslinch and a daughter. Interment took place on Sunday to the brick church burying ground.

    -The brick church burying ground refers to the Brethren in Christ Cemetery at the church on the Lake Rd.

    -Information from the transcription of the Brethren in Christ Cemetery: Neil P. Holm died on Dec. 10, 1880, aged 69 years, 8 months and 24 days. A daughter, Annie (Feb. 28, 1842-July 2, 1867) is buried with them.
