    Notes:

    The writer has been accorded the esteemed privilege of requesting the publication of some details in the life of Mary Ann, the beloved wife of Benjamin Bock, of Carnarvon, whose death occurred on the 18th inst. She was a daughter of Henry Woods, a factory operator of Norfolk, England who came to Canada when the subject of our sketch was four years of age and settled with his wife and family at Williamsburg, Waterloo, in 1836, where though new to the work and difficulties facing him by industry and the aid of his family he attained to comfort and affluence before his death. It was there in his early youth the dear lady learned when young to do her duty and which she never neglected through a long life of 77 years. In 1849 she was truly converted to a Christian life. In 1852 she was married to Benjamin Bock and brought him a family of nine children. In 1877 they moved to the Manitoulin Island. Since then few of the old leading residents from end to end of the Island but have been benefited by or heard of her genuine hospitality to all. We are but speaking truth when we say she was modest and unpretending, unmistakably good, always preferring the happiness and welfare of others to herself. Contented and happy with her lot. The darling of her grand children female and male who would not wish a life and death life hers. We will not essay anything to comfort the bereaved husband two years older than his beloved wife. God alone can comfort and lead him till he joins his beloved bride of 57 years ago. The burial in Providence Bay cemetery as was to be expected was largely attended. The Rev. Harvey Fry, Mennonite minister assisted by Rev. John Turnbull, Baptist, and Rev. Mr. Steele, Presbyterian, officiated. All the Ministers spoke with enthusiasm of the death-bed scene of the departed. She had borne her sufferings with Christian resignation. For some days anxious watchers stood by her bedside, suddenly the call came and she exclaimed "Jesus take me". A bright smile overspread her face and she looked her last on earth.

    Notes:

    William and Elizabeth Moorfoot were married in 1822 in the Parish of Lund, in the County of Yorkshire or the Parish of Loch. They were living in Lockington when their first child, Ann was born in 1824. The place of marriage, however, has never been officially determined. William Townshend and his family emigrated to Canada in 1847. While on their way from England, their ship was wrecked and the survivors were marooned on an Island for 3 days with nothing but cornmeal and water. They lost practicaly all of their possessions. Among some of the things saved are a rocker of period design, the plum design made in 1750, now owned by Lawrence ? of Sarnia, the gold anchor from the uniform of John Townshend was owned by Donald Crich of London, and a brooch cantaining a scene, now in the possession of Mrs. William Bell of Halifax. William was born in Leaven Parish and Elizabeth in Bridlington, Quay. They settled in the County of Waterloo near Berlin, now Kitchener. William died in 1850 of cholora. They were buried in a cemetery near Kitchener which has since fallen into disuse and had been worked over, Later the remains were moved to Mount Hope Cemetery. The marker became lost.

    The following was the inscription on the tombstone of william I Townsend "Our parents here lie underground, the dearest friends we ever found, But through the Lord's unbound love, We hope to meet in realms above." This was copied by Isbella Sararas.
