Notes:

O'CONNOR, MAURICE MCNAMARA.

According to information from his great grandson, he was born in Waterford, Ireland, on August 4, 1826. He attended Dublin University, and emmigrated to Canada in, or possibly before. He acted as ship's surgeon on the ship which brought him here. A great grand daughter was not able to find a record of him at the major Irish universities, but an appiontment as ship's surgeon would at that time qualify him to practice.

In 1851 his name appeared in the Haysville census, at which time he was single, and 24 years of age. In 1864 he obtained his medical degree from Victoria University, and was registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons in that year.

His only newsworthy event was on June 15. 1870, when under the influence of alcohol he aimed a double barrelled shotgun at a Mr. Hays. As the newspaper said he "fired both barrels, one at random and the other at Hays." He had intended to frighten Hays, and although judged free of criminal intent, was sentenced to six weeks in jail for wounding.

He died at Haysville on August 31. 1874, aged 47 years, and left his widow, the youngest daughter of Daniel Tye, of Haysville, and ten children.

The Galt Reporter said of him,

The deceased. gentleman was widely known through the County, and although he had his faults like the rest of us, was very much respected. In the medical profession he bore a very high reputation.

Notes:

Tye, Daniel. - Was born at Suffolk, England, on January 26th, 1793. He was one of a family of five, two sons and three daughters, viz: William, Daniel and Mrs. Dove, Mrs. Cavell and Lucy, unmarried. His wife, Anna Belle, was a daughter of Colonel Marlton, of the 60th Rifles. In 1837, he with a daughter, Mary, and Miss Rumball, an old friend of the family and sister of Mrs. Fenner, whose son, Henry, afterwards married a daughter of our subject, sailed for America, leaving the rest of the family in London, and who followed him in about a year, stopping at Newtown, Long Island. Daniel Tye had in the meantime gone on to Canada and taken up the farm now owned by Charles D. Brown, Nith Grove, and cleared five acres before returning to Long Island, where he worked the Fenner farm for a year and where they all had their share of fever and ague. In 1839 all started for Canada, father, mother and children. Robert C, Henry D., Frank and the four daughters, afterwards Mrs. [Mary] Fenner, Mrs. [Annie] John Sydney Smith, Mrs. [Minnie] (Dr.) O'Connor and Mrs. [Lucy] Harrison. A span of horses and a covered wagon were the means of transport, (the heavier goods going by canal boat up the Hudson to Troy.) The party then journeyed to Oswego, and went by boat to Queenston, driving to Hamilton, where part of the winter was spent. In February, 1840, they set out for Haysville with a load of goods, Henry driving with Annie, Lucy and Robert as passengers, arriving at their destination and putting up at Everatt's hotel, where they remained for a few days while the log house on Nith Grove was being got ready and into which they immediately moved. Henry D. Tye returned to Hamilton in the sleighs for another load of household goods and the rest of the family, but the snow all disappearing in February, they had to return in the covered wagon and a little way the other side of Ford's Tavern on their return the wagon slipped over the hill and upset. The family escaped injury, but the wagon was damaged beyond recovery. As Henry was the oldest the hardest work fell to him and he helped to chop and log a good part of the land. He was only 16 years old when he came, but looked 21. After he became of age he was clerking for John Sydney Smith for a few years. He wanted to start a nursery and bought five acres from his father (Daniel) on the Skelly farm where the orchard is now, but the land was too heavy, so he sold it back to his father and bought five acres back of Thomas Somerville's store and then he bought the Clayton farm and moved the nursery to it and sold 80 acres to R. C. Tye. Henry D. Tye and Mary both received good boarding school education, but the rest of us had to pick up the little education we got as best we could. There were not any schools when we came to the country and we had too much work to do at home if there had been. I have copied the foregoing almost word for word from an old memorandum prepared by Mr. R. C. Tye, of Stratford and kindly loaned by Mrs. Henry Tye Walker, as it gives the best account of the life of a pioneer that I have yet seen, as it was not written for publication. To return to our subject, Mr. Daniel Tye continued his farming operations, taking up 300 acres of land. He took an interest in public matters, being a strong Conservative. He was an enterprising man and was one of the first importers of Devon cattle, Southdown sheep and Essex hogs and won many prizes at the Provincial Shows of those days. He was a steady and consistent supporter of St. James Church. He died on October 23rd, 1874 in his 82nd year. Mr. R. C. Tye, of Stratford, is the only surviving member of the family. Mr. Wm. F. Tye, the eminent Civil Engineer, is a grandson.
