John Wenger Meyers, born in Woolwich Twp., Waterloo Co., Ont. May 10, 1851; married. Angeline, daughter of Benjamin D. Snyder, Esq., of St. Jacobs, Ont., Dec. 26, 1872.

His father was John Meyers, and his mother was Mary Meyers, whose maiden name of Wenger appears in that of the subject of this sketch. His early life was spent on the homestead, of which he undertook the management at the age of 20, and soon afterward rented the farm. At the expiration of five years they moved with their one child to Iowa, but returned within a year to Canada, and purchased in Maryboro township, Wellington county, a 100-acre farm, to which was added fifty acres more during the next seven years. He leased his farm in 1885, and has since then been engaged as miller in the Maitland Valley Roller Mills, of Listowel, Perth county, Ont. In 1888 the firm increased their business by purchasing the Victoria Roller Mills, of Palmerston. Mr. Meyers was left in control of the former and his partner assumed control of the latter. The water works of the town of Listowel also belongs to Mr. Meyers, and have been operated by him since 1891. As he and his son Josephus buy all kinds of grain they purchased in 1892 a large elevator in Listowel, and further increased their business by leasing in 1894 the Oatmeal Mills, of Palmerston, with the privilege of buying. On May 12, 1895, his wife died, leaving a family of seven children.

Besides carrying on his own private enterprises Mr. Meyers has always been identified with matters pertaining directly to the public. While living on his farm he was for some time a member of the Town-ship Council, and later of the Listowel Council, until he accepted the contract to furnish the town with water. He is a member of the High School Board, of the board of directors of Morris-Field-Rogers Piano Company, and president of board of the Public Library of the same town.

THE WOOLWICH COUNCIL

A Woolwich Township Council was organized on January 21st, 1850. The councillors were: John Meyer, Edward Passmore, Peter Wenger, Peter Hay, and Wm. Veitch. They met "at Conestoga, in Kurtz's tavern." The members chose John Meyer as reeve and named James Dow as clerk and treasurer; Moses Springer as assessor on the east side of the Grand River and Christian Hurst on the west wide, each at 6 pounds ($24) a year; and Wm. Reynolds as collector, with a salary of five and a half per cent. of his collections. Charles Hendry was appointed auditor.

The council ordered a seal and studied a plan for building a bridge across the Conestoga River; appointed a road surveyor and considered the advisability of appointing a local superin-tendent of schools. For a number of years schools, bridges, roads, and the regulation of taverns were the chief items of business.

Waterloo County's provisional municipal council met in Berlin on May 3rd, 1852. Woolwich was represented by Reeve John Meyer and Deputy-Reeve Peter Wenger.

Notes:

Winger (Spelled "Wenger" by some members of family), "The Wingers were among the early and respectable settlers of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They came to America from Switzerland as early as 1748 and settled in Lancaster County. They were an enterprising, industrious, and honorable people. Their descendants are now to be found in almost every state of the United States and quite a number have settled in Canada. The old progenitor that came from Switzerland was "Hans" (John) Winger. His family consisted of seven sons who were all born in Switzerland. The Wingers in Waterloo County are descendants of this old "Hans". Some are the children of old Joseph Wenger, a great-grandson of old "Hans", while others are descendants of old John Winger who was a grandson of old Hans Winger, and son of Adam Winger. We shall first give the descendants of old Joseph Wenger."

Joseph Wenger, "was born and resided in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he died. He was married to Elizabeth Zimmerman who was born November 21st, 1778, and died March 23rd, 1840. After his decease, which took place in Pennsylvania in 1824, the widow with her family moved to Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada, in 1825, and resided in the town of Waterloo, in old Abraham Erb's house for eighteen months, then she moved two and one-half miles north of the town of Waterloo, on the place known as "Freunds" (now Eli Martins), opposite the Martin Mennonite Church. Here she resided until her death. Her family consisted of nine children"

OUR FAMILY BARNS \endash by Grayden SLOWINS:

The oldest barn still in existence in our family is that of my Mennonite relatives at Martindale, Lancaster County, PA. A stone barn built by Joseph & Elizabeth ZiMMERMAN WENGER in 1797, it has been well maintained and added to, and cows are still milked there every night & morning. Also teams of horses call it home, along with a black buggy, a John DEERE tractor with steel lugs, and a spring wagon painted John DEERE green & yellow. The "new" house, also of stone, was built in 1800 to replace the old structure Joseph was born in, in 1769. They were my great-great-great-great-grandparents. His sister Elizabeth ZIMMERMAN WENGER married his wife's brother Christian ZIMMERMAN, and when Elizabeth ZIMMERMAN WENGER was widowed, she sold he farm to Christian & Elizabeth WENGER ZIMMERMAN, so the current owners are doubly cousins to us.

The second oldest barn, on the nearby farm at Groffdale, PA, of our five times great-grandfather, Christian WENGER, who emigrated from Switzerland in 1727, was replaced "new" in 1811. It is also largely built of stone. The foundations of the old barn are nearby.

The third oldest barn is a little unpainted wood barn built for widow Elizabeth ZIMMERMAN WENGER when she moved with her family from Martindale, PA, to Martin's Corners, Waterloo Township, Ontario, in 1825. The stone house and white wood church are also still standing.
