Notes:

The Late Henry W. Peterson of Hawkesville

There passed away on Thursday, August 20th, 1913, a familiar figure and one of the few remaining pioneer settlers of the County of Waterloo, in the person of Henry William Peterson, of Hawkesville, in his 92nd year. The deceased was born in Somerset County, Pa., March 6th, 1822, the son of Charles Lewis Peterson and Theresa Boyer, of Baltimore, Md. He, with his parents, came to Upper Canada in 1826 and settled in Markham Township, County of York. IN 1839 they removed to a farm about one mile from St. Jacobs and about five years afterwards settled on the homestead property on the Conestogo River, Tp. of Woolwich, now known as the DeKay Farm. In 1894 the deceased retired from active farming operations and made his residence in Hawkesville up to the time of his death.

The late Mr. Peterson was a man of strong character, cheerful disposition and artistic taste. He was a great believer in making the home life of a farm as attractive as that of the city to which the delightful surroundings of his own late farm today testify. He also took a great interest in the breeding of horses and other stock being among the first to import thoroughbred stock into the County. He took a keen interest in all public matters and always wished to hear all sides of a question before forming his opinion. His political proclivities were Liberal and in religion he was a member of the Church of the United Brethren. He often recounted the stirring events of the Rebellion of 1837 in the vicinity of Toronto and retained his mentality to the last.

The deceased was married to Fanny Bristow who predeceased him in 1893 leaving his surviving children, Alexander, Ex-Warden of Waterloo County; James, of Dundalk, Ont.; Hannah, at home; John, of Grenfell, Sask.; Henry, of St. Jacobs; Charlotte, now Mrs. Clemens D. Bowman, of West Montrose; and Charles, of Hamilton, Ont. The interment took place at Hawkesville on Saturday, the 23rd instant, in presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. The religious services were conducted by Rev. John Lynn, Berlin, and Rev. L. Thoms, of Hawkesville. The pall-bearers were, Howard Bowman, Leslie, William, Gordon, Clayton, and Birrell Peterson, all grandsons of the deceased.

Death of Mrs. Wm. Peterson.

On Friday morning, Oct. 20th, Mrs. Wm. Peterson of Hawksville passed peacefully to her long home.

Mrs. Peterson was a native of Sussex, England, and came to this country when but 4 years old, settling first in Elmira. For many years past she resided on the "Old Home" about a mile east of Hawksville. During the past seven years she had been a great sufferer, and for some two months past has been gradually getting worse but not until a few days back were hopes of her recovery given up. Death comes as a relief. Mrs. Peterson's life was a living example of what a Christian may be. To the motherless she was a mother, to the stranger a friend, to the troubled a comforter. Her heart was ever open to the cry of the needy. Blessings followed wherever she went. She leaves a sorrowing family and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at Hawksville on Sabbath when friends from far and near came to pay their last tribute to the departed. Rev. Showers of the U. B. Church of which Mrs. Peterson was a member, preached an able sermon paying glowing tribute to the moral worth of such a character.

The stricken husband and family have the sincerest sympathy of their many friends.

Notes:

Old Elmira Resident Dead - Mr. Stephen Winn, familiarly known as Dad, an old and respected resident of our village, passed to the great beyond at St. Joseph's Hospital, Guelph, on Tuesday afternoon. The deceased was born on Yong St., County of York, in 1832. He came to the "Queen's Bush" about the year 1847, one of a large family of boys and girls, and settled on a farm near Hawkesville. He was married to Elizabeth Hawke, who now mourns her separation from him, and together they lived a free, happy life, their latch string being always out to the young people of their neighborhood, especially during the sugar making season, the honey season, or when the green corn was fit for use and the pumpkin ready for pie. They moved to Elmira in 1901, and Mr. Winn enjoyed a cheerful, jovial spirit all his days, and fairly good health until a couple of months ago, when his last illness set in. To relieve him of severe pain an operation was advised and he went to a Guelph hospital for treatment. The operation was in a measure successful, but he was too feeble to recuperate and death came as a welcome release. Besides his sorrowing widow there survive him six children, namely - Mrs. Henry Peterson, St. Jacobs; Cosford, at home; Lawson and Joshun, New York; Mrs. Charles Christman, of Windsor; and Theophilus, of Preston. Of the older family only a sister, Mrs. J. B. Hughes, of Waterloo, is living.

The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and the remains will be laid to rest in Hawkesville cemetery.
