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.

We have lost no one from Berlin, but St. Jacobs mourns for one manly heart which has ceased its pulsations. Poor Jacob C. Snyder, jr., we parted with him in Toronto on Wednesday morning, in the enjoyment of health and in the hope of a long and useful life. Thursday evening he was a corpse! Mr. Snyder had gone to Toronto to place himself under the care of Dr. Cadwell, the Oculist. He had left Toronto to see a party in Hamilton, intending to return on the morrow. Unfortunate man -- he hurried himself into eternity. He was a generous-hearted and upright man, and we feel certain left not an enemy in the world. His remains were brought to St. Jacobs on Saturday and were laid in their last restingplace on Monday, attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The evidence on the Coroner's Jury, taken thus far, we are unable to print this week, Until the verdict is rendered we withhold our opinion of the cause of the accident -- an opinion formed after the closet examination of surrounding appearances.
