ISAAC BRICKER

The traveller who wanders over much of Blenheim township has his attention considerably taken up by the numerous handsome residences he sees on every hand. Mr. Bricker's residence on the fourteenth concession is one that particularly attracts his attention for its dimensions and elegant appearance. Some time ago the writer, who having had occasion to a tarry a short time beneath its roof, was astonished at the remarkably convenient arrangement of the interior. In fact it is the best equipped in this respect of any farm residence he ever entered. It contains sixteen rooms, eight down stairs and a like number upstairs, in addition to the basement, which is partitioned off into six rooms. In the latter is a fine large furnace. From the furnace lead hot air pipes which convey hot air to every room in the house if desired and the entire interior made comfortably warm in a few minutes. There is no danger whatever from fire, as the floor consists of solid portland cement, brick walls and other fire proof material There are seven hot air registers and five for cold air. In the various departments the vegetables, canned fruits, etc, are stored. Two of these are such connected with a dumb waiter, in the kitchen above is combined with a cupboard. By this means the tired housewife is saved the trouble of daily climbing and descending the stairway with a full of eatables, etc.

The residence, it will be observed, is double structure, one not being occupied by Mr. Bricker and wife, and the other half occupied by son, Isaiah, and family. As you enter the front doorway you find spacious hallway and a splendid open stairway which is divided by a banister. The apartments occupied by the parents are duplicated in that portion occupied by the son. Beautiful stained glass in the front, lends attractiveness to the interior of the hall. The wood work is neatly carved black ash finished in oil. In the basement is a large furnace with boiler for heating water for washing clothes, butchering, etc., and adjoining which is a large brick woodshed On top of the roof of the main dwelling is a square space surrounded by a handsome iron railing. From this space a magnificent view of the country for a radius of from five to six miles can be obtained, and the blue capped environments of Woodstock, at least twenty miles to the southwest are plainly visible. This residence can be seen from quite a distance ere you reach it. On the left hand side of the lane as you enter is a new hedge of Norway spruce, Scotch pine and Canadian cedar intermingled. To the right is a row of maples and basswood. The residence is certainly one of consider able architectural beauty and is principally of Mr. Bricker's own design.

Mr. Bricker was born on lot 6, 14 h concession, in 1835, on the old homestead hewed out of the wilderness back in the thirties by his father, the late Peter Bricker. The latter was born near Chicopee in 1808. The mother, formerly Susanna Erb, was born near Bridgeport, Waterloo County, in 1816

She died at the age of seventy-six years, and she was followed by the father in 1892, aged 84 years. They were for many years prominently identified with this section and endured their share of the hardships incident to the early settlement of Blenheim township. They moved to lot 6 in 1834 at a time when the Asiatic cholera was raging in this section. The mother was taken down with the deadly terror, but she fortunately survived and was spared to her husband and family. They had lived on the 15 h concession forty years, and subsequently in Berlin for seventeen years. After that they moved to the home occupied by Henry Cassell near Haysville, where they lived about a year when they died.

Isaac the subject of this sketch, received a very limited education, his only chances for acquiring knowledge, being during the winter months in the primitive school. He being the oldest child in the family his services were therefore naturally in greater demand by the father. He faithfully remained subject to parental authority on the old homestead until he was twenty-one years of age. At about that time he formed a matrimonial alliance with Lydia, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Detweiler) Snider. The mother is now in her sixty-sixth year. The result of this union is a family of eleven children, distributed now as follows:

Oliver, the oldest child and son, is in Manitoba; David is farming near Doon; Benjamin and Peter are twins, Peter working on the farm of Joe Bower's and Ben cultivating tobacco in Essex county; Sarah is the wife of Aaron Bowman near Mannheim; Mary is the wife of Noah Bowman of Roland, Man; Isaiah, wife and child living at the home place; Isaac is employed with Mrs. Hall, near Plattsville; Lydia is the wife of Jacob Bergey in Manitoba; Melinda is the wife of Aaron Bergey of Bellerue on the Allegheny, Pa; Anson is still living at home.

Mr and Mrs Bricker did not come to this their first home as man and wife on a bed of roses. It was in sad contrast to the elegant home they can now call their own and live in peace and comfort during the remaining years of their life. An old frame house was then their abode, and the premises were sparsely provided with the necessary conveniences. But harmoniously they went to work, gradually making improvements, tilled their land and reared their large family, finally accomplishing the results I have just described. While they are now not actively engaged in farming they strive to keep their minds occupied in a minor way. A garden, several cows, a few hogs and chickens being about the extent of their farming at present is the chicken coop they take consider able pride and well they may, for one must go many miles before he finds as fine a lot of fowl. Among the lot I noticed some splendid specimens of the partridge cochin, light Brabmas, black Langshans and Plymouth Rocks. In the barnyard will be found a number of fine porkers of the Tamworth and Berkshire variety.

Mr. and Mrs. Bricker are both members of the Mennonite church with which they have been connected for a period covering nearly forty years. The former has been trustee of his school section for quite a number of years and is always favorable to anything that tends to promote the best welfare of our public schools.

During the earlier years of the married life Mr. and Mrs. Bricker seldom travelled any distance from home. But of late years they have seen considerable of the country, having visited their children in Manitoba and some years ago went on an excursion to the Niagara Falls.

They are now enjoying life to life fullest extent in a quiet christian way, being well entitled to the fruits of many years of toll and well spent life.

Isaiah, the son, has charge of the farm and is having good success. In his stables are several find roadsters. In ….. particularly taken with the way is arranged for convenience Jacob's Ladder, as the old men calls in is to its idea of his own. It is a stationary affair in the centre of the barn reaching from the floor to the roof. In 1876 this bar was struck by lightninage and totally destroyed. It was a set back and quite serious loss to the father at the time
