    Notes:

    Thomas Wilford

    One of the oldest residents of the Crosshill neighborhood has passed away in the person of Mr. Thos. Wilford. He was a native of Lancastershire, England, and worked as a shoemaker for the late Wm. Hackett, of Linwood, before that gentleman left England for Canada in the spring of 1858, forging his way through the woods to Wellesley township where he bought a settler's right to 30 acres of bush from James Tracy, 9th con., east section where he at once commenced to chop out a home. His first grist of wheat was got from old Mr. Beggs (father of our present councilor.) The price then was ?3 for ten bushels, and he took it to Hawkesville and got it made into flour. Deceased saw many ups and downs in his life and speculated in considerable land. He was always an active man and was widely known, having driven the Crosshill mail stage for some 13 years. In politics he was a staunch conservative. A member of the church of England, he took an active part in the building of St. Mary's church at Crosshill. Of a genial, obliging and trust worthy nature, he made many friends and the school children always had a particular liking for him. During the past year he has been a great sufferer from rheumatism and dropsy and his pain was greatly intensified during the last few weeks. His wife died a few years ago. He leaves a family of four sons: J. T. Wilford, Crosshill; William, on the old Anticnap farm; Levitt, on the home farm, and Frederick, in Maryboro. One son - David - was killed by a threshing machine on Alex Frame's place, and one daughter (the late Mrs. Samuel Petsch) is dead. Rev. Mr. Wright, Thamesford, assisted by Rev. Mr. Carlyle, of London, conducted the funeral services, which took place at Hawkesville.
