Roseville

THE GLOBE HOTEL.

This old landmark is now occupied as a residence by the venerable Jacob Clemens, who for 25 years conducted it as a tavern. Mr Clemens is now over seventy years of age and is full of interesting reminiscences of Roseville's early days. Nelson Newcombe and John Detweiler, whose remains were consigned to the clay years ago, were among the first landlords of this tavern. The bar traffic of that day was something enormous and it was not an unusual event to see twenty sturdy countrymen step up to the counter and take their toddy on the expenditure of a quarter by one of the crowd. The gesuine old sourmast then could be purchased for eighteen cents per gallon. Teamsters from Washington, Ayr, Galt, Berlin, Waterloo and other points were frequent patrons of the bar. Alas! modern development has changed all this! Here in the good old days of yore, where friend met friend and hilarity and joviality predominated, is now the quiet and peaceful private abode of the venerable owner and his family.

Notes:

Jacob Detweiler," second son of Jacob and Mary (Funk) Detweiler, was a native of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where he was born November 25th, 1778. On December 15th, 1803, he was married to Susannah Rosenberger who was born in the same county as Mr. Detweiler, January 15th, 1781. When a young man he was called to the ministry of the Mennonite body, but when the Funkite question was brought up he would not give his decision in favor of either party. However, after his coming to Canada he was an active worker in behalf of the Mennonite church until his death. In 1822 they, with others, moved to Canada and settled in North Dumfries Township, Waterloo County, a little west of Roseville, on the farm now possessed by their grand-son, Aaron B. Detweiler. Here they resided until their deaths. She died September 9th, 1847, and he died August 8th, 1858. To them was born a family of ten children"
