DEATH OF DR. MORTON.

Wellesley's Oldest Medical Practitioner Passes Away on Monday Morning.

Dr Wm Morton, one of the oldest and most successful medical practitioners in Waterloo County passed away on Monday morning at his home in Wellesley in his 58th year. He settled in Wellesley some thirty-one years ago and enjoyed a very large practice for many years. He was a man of broad and liberal views and enjoyed in a marked degree the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens. He filled the position of postmaster for the last fifteen or eighteen years, Medical Health Officer of Wellesley Township, and was an active and influential member of the High School Board. Four children survive him, three grown-up daughters and one son, fourteen years of age. One of the daughters is married to Dr. Glaister who has been associated with his father-in-law in his practice for the past three or four years. The funeral will take place (to-day) Thursday.

_________________

The site of Wellesley was first occupied by John Smith, a squatter, in 1847. He came in some time prior to the survey. When the post office was established in 1851 it was called Smithville, but the following year the name was changed to Wellesley. William Brown was the first postmaster. Smith was followed by such noted pioneers as Christian Boshart, Charles Ottmann and John Zoeger. The latter was the first merchant and hotel keeper. The building he occupied is the one now owned by Dr William Morton, who uses it for a drug store, post office and private residence.
