About two years after they came to Canada they settled in Waterloo County, erecting a home on the Bridgeport Road.

The late Mr. and Mrs. Sobisch had five children when they came to this country, four of whom survive, viz. John and Joseph of Waterloo, Martin of Buffalo and August of Branchton. Another son, Frank, of Waterloo, passed away about fifteen months ago. Another child. born in Waterloo died about 23 years ago. 22 great grandchildren and 27 grandchildren also survive.
