Notes:

John Hoffman.

This gentleman is probably as well known as any other farmer in this section, and has done as much towards opening up of the wilderness that existed in this section over half a century ago. He was born in the Province of Hessen, Germany, in 1825, and came to America in 1848, landing first in the city of Quebec. From there be reached Hamilton via steamer, and from Hamilton he started on foot for Preston, completing the journey in the course of a day and night. He remained in Preston over night, and the next day, Pentecost Sunday, he walked to Philipsburg, where he found friends. Being a shoemaker by trade be secured a situation with the late Christoph Doering, who was then conducting quite an extensive business, consisting of a general store, tannery and shoe shop. Here he worked for eight years, and where he was foreman. In October, 1856, he moved to the farm he now occupies, the extent of the estate being three hundred acres and lying two miles to the north of Wellesley village. There was then only seventy acres cleared. We can imagine that he did not have an easy time of it when he began life here. He was compelled to pay interest at the rate of seventeen per cent and found money scarce at that. Flour was then worth nine dollars per barrel and wages 75 cents a day. There were no mercantile establishments and mills nearer than Hawksville.

He was married in 1852 to Regina, daughter of the late Christian Hill. They have a family of three, all sons. The eldest, Henry, is working on the home farm and is still single. The second, George, is living on 150 acres of the estate adjoining. The third, Jacob, is working on the home place Mrs. Hoffman, now in the 68th year of her age, has been for some time suffering with asthma and is now in an almost helpless condition. Mr. Hoffman, who has been an active and industrious man all his life from the time he was old enough to do anything, retired to private life last New Years, and is now enjoying the fruits of his many years of labor. He has been a life-long Reformer and is a member of the Presbyterian church, and is also identified with the Tempkars of Jerusalem, a sect founded by Christian Hoffman in 1868-55, who died in Jerusalem in 1891. The subject of this sketch has been eminently successful as a farmer and has always taken a keen interest in that which he thought might be of most benefit to the farming community. He is exceedingly hospital and kind to those who have occasion to visit his home - his latch string always hanging on the outside. For one of his weight of years he has a remarkably retentive memory, and to converse with him is a pleasure to the person who loves to listen to interesting and thrilling reminiscences of the past. Mr Hoffman is his own biographer and is now engaged in writing his own biography. He has already filled twenty pages of foolscap paper. It is neatly and closely written in German, and relates important episodes in his life, having reference to all the cities, towns and villages of the old country where he had worked at his trade, shoemaking.

Since writing the foregoing I learn that Mrs. Hoffman died in her chair while her husband was sitting at his desk near her.
