Campbell - In Blenheim Township, on Wednesday, May 7th, 1919, at 6.30 a.m., Allie Hagey, beloved wife of James Campbell, in her 54th year. The deceased lady had been indisposed for some time, but had not been considered seriously ill until about a week before her death, when erysipilas set in and it was found impossible to stay the raves of the disease. Mrs. Campbell was born at Preston, but after her marriage spent the remainder of her life in the community in which she died, and was widely known as an exemplary woman and a good neighbor. In spiritual life she connected herself with the Presbyterian faith, attending Divine worship at Drumbo and assisting as opportunity presented itself in the various activities of the Church auxiliaries. Besides her husband, a son and daughter (Roy and Beatrice) survive. A brother and sister: Norman Hagey of Dakota and Mrs. Wm. Clemens of Galt, also mourn her departure. The funeral took place from her late residence, lot 9, con. 10, Blenheim, on Friday, when interment was made in the Ayr cemetery, being the first strictly motor funeral in this section.

One who will soon be classed among the old settlers of Preston is Christopher Kress, who by his energy and pluck has accumulated considerable property and who has greatly aided in giving Preston a good name as a desirable place of resort for the cure of rheumatism and kindred diseases, through its mineral baths.

The mineral springs were struck by one Peter Erb while boring for salt in 1838, which he never obtained. He placed no value in the sulphur water he had so struck. After abandoning boring, the water of the spring was employed for driving an overshot wheel of a wagon making shop, occupied by one Daniel Hagey, until Mr. Samuel Cornell obtained from Mr. Joseph Erb sufficient land near the spring to erect an hotel. Mr. Cornell with great energy built suitable premises and a bath house with boiler to enable him to furnish hot and cold baths.. His undertaking proved successful but death terminated his career. The property was sold and Christopher Kress became its owner. He greatly enlarged, improved and ornamented it and the invalids who have sought and obtained relief at the Preston mineral baths count by the hundreds.

Notes:

"Dear Dr. Carroll

Having noticed in the Guardian your request to forward to you any remembrances of the late venerable Father Corson, I send the following: I first saw and heard Mr. Corson in the Township of Waterloo, about a mile and a half above Preston; the ' preaching place' was at a primitive log-house, the residence of the late Samuel Cornell, to which place my parents used to repair weekly for preaching and class-meeting, taking me with them this was about the year 1824 or 1825. Memory now paints Mr. Corson as a light, nimble, tough little man, of about 125 or 130 lbs. avordupoise, with light hair and sharp, sparkeyes. His manner of preaching was quick, bordering on the abrupt; his subjects were generally solemn; his appeals sharp; his applications appropriate; and his proofs always cogent and logical; and, I ought to add, his method generally orderly and systematic. About the time I speak of, I witnessed what, to my young mind, appeared to be a hard test of his muscular ability. At the preaching, a tall, muscular, large-boned Dutchman, lately converted, applied for baptism by immersion at the hands of our little hero. A procession was formed, headed by our preacher, arm in arm with the neophyte, followed by a singing band of brothers and sisters, who sang with power and pathos the old expressive stanza,

'Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry,
We're inarching through Emmanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high, &c.'

"Father Corson" or, The old style Canadian itinerant
