Death of Mr. Henry Hagey, of Preston - This worthy resident of Preston, one of its oldest and most honored citizens, died very suddenly on Wednesday afternoon last. Mr. Hagey has been afflicted with heart disease for some years, more a disease incidental to his age than acute, and with the care which he was enabled to take of himself, it was not thought his ailment would prove fatal. However, last Wednesday morning he appeared as well as usual, and went for a walk, returning in time for dinner. During the afternoon, his friend, Mr. Ambrose Winter paid him a visit and they had a pleasant conversation for some little time, Mr. Hagey seeming as well and cheerful as usual. Shortly after Mr. Maurice Hagey, hearing a noise, entered Mr. Hagey's room, when he was shocked to find his grandfather lying on the floor quite dead. Mr. Hagey was born in Preston, March 2nd, 1823, his whole life having been spent in or in the immediate vicinity of the village. He was by trade a blacksmith, and carried on business for some years in the shop now occupied by Kay Bros., at the east end of the village. He retired from that business and carried on farming until about ten years ago, when he again became a resident of his native village. Municipally he served his village as Reeve for several years. His family consisted of five children, viz.: - Mr. Isaac Hagey, of Preston; Mr. Jonas Hagey, of Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. M. Bricker, of Berlin; Mrs. Jacob Slichter, of Blenheim; and Mrs. W. Clemens, of Blair. The funeral on Saturday afternoon was very largely attended.

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
