    Notes:

    Pioneer of Town Gone
    Late William R. Bulmer Recalled Elmira With Three Log Huts
    Early Settler of Peel
    He Came Into Elmira Walking Blazed Trail With Father

    One of the old guard in the history of this community passed to his rest last Monday morning when Mr. William R. Bulmer died in Listowel in his ninety-second year. The late Mr. Bulmer was hale and strong until only about two months ago, his remarkable vigor at his advanced age being a constant marvel to his friends. Born in Yorkshire, England, he came to this country with his parents when a lad of seventeen, making his way to Peel Township after a short stay in New York and Toronto, or "Muddy York" as it was then known.

    Early Elmira

    The late Mr. Bulmer had his first glimpse of Elmira on his way with his father to take up the homestead in Peel Township. Walking along the blazed trail with a bag of flour on his back, brought from German Mills, the pioneer homesteader came upon three log huts which represented the coming Elmira. The Bulmer family and the Owens family were the only white families living in Peel township for some time subsequent to this, although there were a number of colored families in the township who had settled there after escaping from the slave states south of the border.

    Went To Listowel

    The late Mr. Bulmer remained on the same homestead for the remainder of his life until ten years ago when he removed to Listowel. This farm was recently sold by his son, Mr. Wesley Bulmer to Mr. Charles Matthews. After ten years residence in Listowel, the death of Mr. Bulmer took place. Twice married, his first wife was Miss Liza Seton, daughter of Mr. John Seton, one of the pioneers of Elmira. His second wife was Miss Palmer, of Listowel, who survives him. He leaves besides three sons and two daughters: Alfred of Neepawa, Manitoba, Byron, of Oakville and Wesley of Elmira, Mrs. Lambkin of Fordwich, and Mrs. Cunningham of Elmira. The funeral takes place this afternoon from the home in Listowel to the Elmira Methodist Church and thence to the Elmira Cemetery. Service are being conducted by a former pastor at the Wallenstein Church, Rev. Mr. Monsinger, of Brantford.
