Notes:

Elijah L. Bowman, "was born at the village of Blair, Waterloo County, October 7th, 1862. His early days were spent in and around Blair where he received such education as the schools of his time and vicinity afforded. In 1881 he went to Galt where he was engaged until 1889 when he went to Chesley, Bruce County, where he was engaged as manager of the Sullivan House for one year. Not finding the new position to his taste, he left after the expiration of his term of engagement and came back to Hespeler where he is now engaged by the proprietor of the Commercial House as general manager. Here he is held in high estimation by all classes of people. He is of a lively disposition, fond of associates, and enjoys himself to be engaged in the innocent sports of his comrades. It seems that nature has gifted him with the talent of making friends with almost everybody, and consequently is a good man for the position in which he has been engaged the last number of years. His time is too limited to permit him of seeking a partner for the future."
