    LIFE'S BATTLE O'ER.

    Mrs. Brighton's Sudden Death

    Mrs. John Brighton, an aged resident of seventy-five years, was found dead in bed in her home on corner Gaukel and Charles street this morning at 8.30 o'clock, by her daughter, Mrs. Simon Erb. The old lady occupied a portion of the same house as Mr. and Mrs. Erb and Sunday evening spent an hour or two with them, apparently in good health. Bidding them good night she went to her own apartments and closed down her shutters for the last time.

    Mrs. Erb noted this morning that there were no signs of her mother being up and became alarmed. She found it necessary to break into the house and there found Mrs. Brighton calmly sleeping the sleep that knows no waking.

    Mrs. Brighton was born in Suffolk, England and with her husband came to Canada when both were quite young. Mr. Brighton was for a number of years teamster for the Simpson Company and had the misfortune to be killed by a horse he was attending some twenty-one years ago.

    Besides Mrs. Erb, Mrs. Brighton leaves two other daughters, Mrs. John Poure and Mrs. J. P. Starnsman and one son in Berlin and four sons and four daughters in various other places. She was a very estimable lady and her death will be regretted though resulting from natural causes.

    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?
