Aged Hawkesville Lady Dead

The death is reported from Hawkesville of an old resident of that place, Harriet Ellen Ballard, widow of the late Joshua Winn. Deceased was born in Hampshire, England, and came to this country with her parents when she was but an infant. Her parents settled at Uxbridge, where they lived for about 16 years. They then moved to Wellesley into what was then called the "Queen's Bush". In 1855 she was married to Joshua Winn, who died about 1883. They settled down on a farm adjoining the village where deceased lived until her husband died, and thereafter until she moved with her son's family to the village a number of years ago. There were 7 children born to them, of whom 6 survive, namely: Laura (Mrs. Hamilton), Strasburg; Gustavus, Jacob, and Mary (Mrs. John Mitchell) in California; Edmund in Hawkesville; and Annie (Mrs. Alex. Wallace) near Preston. Three brothers and three sisters also survive her. Deceased was a good neighbor and a kind mother and enjoyed the respect of all who made her acquaintance.

Notes:

Death of Hugh Wallace, Esq.

To the long roll of departed heroes of this section we add today the name of Hugh Wallace, of Elloralie, North Dumfries, who entered on his well-earned rest on Friday evening last, aged 84 years.

When words are written at the close of a life like this they can but feebly express the scenes and vicissitudes through which it passed. The deceased was a native of Ayrshire, Scotland, and from almost childhood was thrown upon his own resources, being at a very early age apprenticed to the blacksmithing trade. Mastering the details of that business, and at the same time acquiring a very fair education by personal effort - for the making of a living left little time for any schooling - as a young man Mr. Wallace found himself a journeyman blacksmith, working at his trade until he married. The desire to improve his fortunes made him eagerly cast his eyes toward the available lands which afforded scope for the emigrant. In 1832 the die was cast, and in that year he landed on American shores, only there to be greeted with the terrible misfortune of losing his young wife by cholera, which was then raging. For two years thereafter he resided with his child, who is now Mrs. Andrew Landreth, in New York State; but the Township of North Dumfries was in the market, and with its adjacent Townships of Waterloo and Wilmot was attracting a good deal of attention. Turning westward, Mr. Wallace decided upon first visiting this section, and in these days of railways it is difficult of credence that at that time he made the whole distance by driving. On arriving here, he soon selected the land out of which he hewed the valuable homestead where for so many years of his later life he enjoyed more than the usual comforts of a green old age. While clearing and bringing under cultivation the land he had purchased, Mr. Wallace never gave up the trade he had learned at home, and soon got up a little shop wherein, when business called or when outdoor pursuit could not be followed, the busy clang of the hammer, wielded by an arm now powerless, could be heard. During this interval he married the lady who still survives him, a sister of the late Mr. Robert Gillespie, by whom he had seven children, viz.: - Mr. John Wallace, of Waterloo; Mr. James Wallace, of North Dumfries, living near the homestead; Mr. William Wallace, residing on the homestead; Mrs. Wiffler and Miss Wallace, residing with him at the time of his death; and Mrs. John Meikle and Mrs. Peter Hay, of Galt, all of whom worthily reflect in their lives the example set them in integrity, industry and Christian rectitude.

To think of "Dickie Settlement" and this old familiar face gone, is sad to many in this section. So closely identified with its history, every foot of progress bearing testimony to his industry, frugality and intelligence; the kindest of neighbors and most forgiving of opponents; strict in the higher duties and observances of the Presbyterian body to which he belonged and cordial in its support and progress, a life like this at its close conveys its own lesson of good while it leaves behind a blank.

There she was married to her late husband and in 1834, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace and Mr. Gillespie came to this Township, the lands selected being those upon which the rest of their days were spent, their married life extending over a period of fifty years. Of their family there are left Mr. John Wallace, of Waterloo; Mr. James Wallace, residing on his farm close to the Homestead; Mr. Wm. Wallace, residing on the Homestead, as do also two daughters, Mrs. Wifller and Miss Wallace; Mrs. John Meidle, residing with her husband and family on a contiguous farm; and Mrs. Peter Hay, of Galt.
