    Notes:

    The Late Henry W. Peterson of Hawkesville

    There passed away on Thursday, August 20th, 1913, a familiar figure and one of the few remaining pioneer settlers of the County of Waterloo, in the person of Henry William Peterson, of Hawkesville, in his 92nd year. The deceased was born in Somerset County, Pa., March 6th, 1822, the son of Charles Lewis Peterson and Theresa Boyer, of Baltimore, Md. He, with his parents, came to Upper Canada in 1826 and settled in Markham Township, County of York. IN 1839 they removed to a farm about one mile from St. Jacobs and about five years afterwards settled on the homestead property on the Conestogo River, Tp. of Woolwich, now known as the DeKay Farm. In 1894 the deceased retired from active farming operations and made his residence in Hawkesville up to the time of his death.

    The late Mr. Peterson was a man of strong character, cheerful disposition and artistic taste. He was a great believer in making the home life of a farm as attractive as that of the city to which the delightful surroundings of his own late farm today testify. He also took a great interest in the breeding of horses and other stock being among the first to import thoroughbred stock into the County. He took a keen interest in all public matters and always wished to hear all sides of a question before forming his opinion. His political proclivities were Liberal and in religion he was a member of the Church of the United Brethren. He often recounted the stirring events of the Rebellion of 1837 in the vicinity of Toronto and retained his mentality to the last.

    The deceased was married to Fanny Bristow who predeceased him in 1893 leaving his surviving children, Alexander, Ex-Warden of Waterloo County; James, of Dundalk, Ont.; Hannah, at home; John, of Grenfell, Sask.; Henry, of St. Jacobs; Charlotte, now Mrs. Clemens D. Bowman, of West Montrose; and Charles, of Hamilton, Ont. The interment took place at Hawkesville on Saturday, the 23rd instant, in presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. The religious services were conducted by Rev. John Lynn, Berlin, and Rev. L. Thoms, of Hawkesville. The pall-bearers were, Howard Bowman, Leslie, William, Gordon, Clayton, and Birrell Peterson, all grandsons of the deceased.

    Death of Mrs. Wm. Peterson.

    On Friday morning, Oct. 20th, Mrs. Wm. Peterson of Hawksville passed peacefully to her long home.

    Mrs. Peterson was a native of Sussex, England, and came to this country when but 4 years old, settling first in Elmira. For many years past she resided on the "Old Home" about a mile east of Hawksville. During the past seven years she had been a great sufferer, and for some two months past has been gradually getting worse but not until a few days back were hopes of her recovery given up. Death comes as a relief. Mrs. Peterson's life was a living example of what a Christian may be. To the motherless she was a mother, to the stranger a friend, to the troubled a comforter. Her heart was ever open to the cry of the needy. Blessings followed wherever she went. She leaves a sorrowing family and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at Hawksville on Sabbath when friends from far and near came to pay their last tribute to the departed. Rev. Showers of the U. B. Church of which Mrs. Peterson was a member, preached an able sermon paying glowing tribute to the moral worth of such a character.

    The stricken husband and family have the sincerest sympathy of their many friends.

    Notes:

    Old Elmira Resident Dead - Mr. Stephen Winn, familiarly known as Dad, an old and respected resident of our village, passed to the great beyond at St. Joseph's Hospital, Guelph, on Tuesday afternoon. The deceased was born on Yong St., County of York, in 1832. He came to the "Queen's Bush" about the year 1847, one of a large family of boys and girls, and settled on a farm near Hawkesville. He was married to Elizabeth Hawke, who now mourns her separation from him, and together they lived a free, happy life, their latch string being always out to the young people of their neighborhood, especially during the sugar making season, the honey season, or when the green corn was fit for use and the pumpkin ready for pie. They moved to Elmira in 1901, and Mr. Winn enjoyed a cheerful, jovial spirit all his days, and fairly good health until a couple of months ago, when his last illness set in. To relieve him of severe pain an operation was advised and he went to a Guelph hospital for treatment. The operation was in a measure successful, but he was too feeble to recuperate and death came as a welcome release. Besides his sorrowing widow there survive him six children, namely - Mrs. Henry Peterson, St. Jacobs; Cosford, at home; Lawson and Joshun, New York; Mrs. Charles Christman, of Windsor; and Theophilus, of Preston. Of the older family only a sister, Mrs. J. B. Hughes, of Waterloo, is living.

    The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and the remains will be laid to rest in Hawkesville cemetery.

    Notes:

    "Peterson: On the 17th inst., at Wellesley, in the neighbouring County of Waterloo, Charles L. Peterson, in the 81st year of his age. His remains were interred at Hawkesville, on the 21st, by the Rev. Mr. Smith of Berlin, after which funeral discourses in German and English, by attending ministers, were delivered in the Church of the United Brethren. Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather, the funeral was most numerously attended, the procession of vehicles containing sympathizing friends and neighbours being nearly a mile in length. The aged and devoted partner of his long life had predeceased him only a few years, and their remains were laid side by side in one grave, united both in the life and death. Mr. Peterson had reached a truly patriarchal age, and up to a few moments of his death he was perfectly concious, possessing all his faculties. He was the honored and beloved head of a numerous race of descendants, prosperous, vigorous and in the prime of life. Three married sons and five wedded daugh-ters, twenty-nine grandsons and grand-daughters, and seven great-great grandchildren, besides numerous collateral connections, all assembled to pay their last tribute of affectionate respect for the beloved head of their House. A yeoman all his days, the many hundred broad acres of his descendants testify to the sure reward of honest toil and industry. His life was that of an honest man and full of the Christian's hope. Death had no terrors for one who was for many years fully prepared for the last great change. A. J. Peterson, Esq., of Berlin, H.W. Peterson and Joseph Peterson, Esqrs. of Wellesley, are his three surviving sons. Our Townsman, H. W. Peterson, Esq. County Crown Attorney, a Nephew of the deceased."

    "THE WOOLWICH METROPOLIS"

    A RETROSPECTIVE GLANCE, COUPLED WITH A GRAPHIC SKETCH OF THE MERCANTILE AND INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS OF OUR THRIFTY NORTH-END NEIGHBORS

    …[Edward] Bristow came to this region, then known as West Woolwich, some time in 1833, and for a number of years was engaged in clearing up and cutting himself out a home in the wilderness. He was a man of remarkable energy and perseverance, being for three years the only white man in the neighborhood. His cabin was a welcome shelter for new settlers en route north and south and many a belated pioneer adventurer found within its thatched walls a safe and comfortable refuge from the freezing blasts of a winter's night or wild beasts. While he did not profess to keep a public lodging house all who came were tendered his hospitality without money and without price. But this generous soul soon found that this constant drain upon his limited source of supplies threatened his own existence and consequently about the year 1843 he converted his home into a tavern, the first establishment of the kind for many miles around. He then made a small charge for the bill of fare he could afford. In addition to the actual necessaries of life with which his table was supplied he kept on tap a quantity of liquid refreshments for the accommodation of those of his guests who were not total abstainers. It was indeed an indispensable resort for passengers en route on the stage running then between Glenallen and Hamilton. Here the half-frozen passengers could find relief in the cheerful glow of a log fire in the primitive fire place, or, per chance, seek consolation at the bar in the way of an "eye-opener". On many an occasion the old inn was taxed to its utmost limit to accommodate all who sought shelter beneath its roof, and frequently there was "standing room only". In other words, it was a haven of rest for all manner of humanity, and occasionally had for its guests men eminent in Canadian jurisprudence.

    Bristow was undoubtedly a man well fitted to maintain the gradual advancement of civilization in an unbroken wilderness, being qualified to hold positions without which progress in a new settlement would be impeded by various obstacles. In addition to being landlord he was for many years a Justice of the Peace, the first official of the kind in the community, and for several years he owned one of the first threshing machines introduced in Woolwich Township, and after harvest time, with his odd pioneer contrivance, would go about the neighborhood threshing for the settlers. For years one Eisenhour carried the mail on horse back from Glenallen to Waterloo, and many a thrilling adventure he could relate pertaining to his experience as a servant of the Government when his route was over a mere trail along which lurked many dangers. On several occasions he was attacked by wolves and had to keep his horse at full speed to make his escape.

    Mr. Bristow was also the first postmaster. He was succeeded by Henry Christman, father of Jacob and Philip Christman, now of Elmira. Christman was followed by Peter Wenger, who held the office for 25 years. After the latter it was held by several others until Sep. 11, 1889, when the present incumbent, Mr. John Ruppel, took charge.

    Bristow died some time in 1883 at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Wm Henry Peterson, on the farm now owned by Wm. DeKay, in the vicinity he was mainly instrumental in transforming from the primeval wilderness to one more adapted to civilized life. His son Walter still lives here. Mrs. William Peterson, of Hawkesville, who died several years ago, was a daughter.
