    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.
