Notes:

Hawkesville - Last Saturday afternoon witnessed the wedding of one of our esteemed young ladies, Miss R. Dell Fowler, to Mr. Alexander Macpherson, of Macton. The bride looked very attractive in a travelling suit of navy blue cloth with hat to match, while her bridesmaid, Miss Eloise Noecker, of Waterloo, was prettily dressed in a gown of pale yellow silk. After a dainty luncheon the bride and groom left for Toronto enroute for Medicine Hat, where Dr. MacPherson has secured a very lucrative position. Their many friends wish them many years of success and happiness.

Notes:

THE subject of this sketch, the late James Sims, took a leading part in the education and religious life in the early years of the settlement of the County of Waterloo. He was born in 1812, in the Parish of Insch, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. His education was received at the Parish Schools and, though not extensive, the foundation was laid upon which by self study, extensive reading and an excellent memory, he became a man of general information and being a good conversationalist he readily cornmunicated such information to others. His early years of manhood were spent in farming which did not afford much time for literary work, but every spare moment was spent with books and in reading. In 1837 he married Janet Robertson, widow, and in the summer of that year sailed from Aberdeen in the ship "Hercules" with his wife, step children Alexander, John, and Jane Robertson ; accompanied by his father James Sims, his mother, his brothers Peter and Andrew, and his sister Margaret (Mrs. Wm. Fowler) and his nephews James and Peter Sims. After a voyage of eight weeks they landed at Quebec and immediately proceeded by boat up the St. Lawrence River, through canals and lake to Toronto, Ont., where they spent their first winter in Canada. In the spring of 1838 they went by boat to Hamilton and thence by wagons and on foot to the Queen's Bush and located on Lot 2, Con. 13, in the Township of Wellesley about one mile from Hawksville. At that time the country surrounding was practically an unbroken forest, there being only a few settlers in the neighborhood, with small clearings and no roads except trails through the bush.

The nearest grist mill was at Waterloo village and many of the early settlers carried their flour and other provisions on their backs to their homes.
