Notes:

Thomas Hilliard was born in Northern Ireland and came to Canada in 1847. He became a teacher, a newspaperman and published the Waterloo Chronicle. He was the Waterloo School Inspector for twenty-five years.

Hilliard founded the Dominion Life and raised the $250,000.00 required to start the stock company, and sold the first 520 policies. He was President of the company from 1905 to 1929. During his long career he served the company with great distinction. His unshakable belief in the need for insurance and its benefits to families in need drove him on. He was President of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association.

Hilliard served St. James's Methodist Church in Waterloo (now First United), was recording steward for fifty years, attended the General Conference of the Methodist church and the Supreme Council of the United Church.

Historic Building:
The Hilliard House was built in 1880 for Thomas Hilliard, publisher and editor of the Waterloo Chronicle.
The two-storey yellow brick home is an attractive interpretation of the Victorian style. The hip roof, heavy ornamental brackets under the eaves, stained glass windows, projecting bays and porches are all features which distinguish the architectural style from its plain Georgian predecessors.
Thomas Hilliard is also remembered for his association with the Dominion Life Assurance Company, the Waterloo Horticultural Society, the Board of Education and many years of dedicated church service in the Methodist Church (now First United Church) which earned him great respect among his peers.
All facades are recognized for its historical and architectural significance for this designation.<sup>1a

DAVID STAUFFER,

While in Conestogo last week I was afforded an opportunity of meeting this venerable citizen. Mr. Stauffer was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1813, being now in the 85th year of his age. His general appearance and unimpared mind and body would lead one to believe that he had not yet reached the sixties. He came to Canada about forty-eight years ago, and recollects when Berlin had only one mercantile establishment, then kept by one Fred Miller, and Jake and John Hoffman were about to open another. He has lived in Conestogo twenty-three years, living a retired life with his wife, who is now in ber 78 th year. Mr. Stauffer claims no relationship with the numerous family of Stauffers in Waterloo County, though his ancestors are of the same nationality and espouse the same religious faith. I have yet to see the person who has lived eighty- five years who can show less marks of an advanced age than Mr. Stauffer. He is a record breaker, and no mistake.

In my next letter Winterbourne and its oldest citizens will be my subject. I believe this village takes the lead in the county for old people.
