"A distinct gloom was cast over this community when word was received last Friday evening that Miss Audrey Wildfong had passed away that afternoon at Grace Hospital Toronto. To many who were not aware that her indisposition was so serious the news came as a shock. Miss Wildfong was a nurse in training at the above institution since September 1918. She contracted typhoid fever from a patient she was nursing about four weeks ago and while the attack was not considered serious at first the disease gradually overcame her until death resulted. Deceased was the eldest child of Mr. Nelson Wildfong of Centreville but had been reared in the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Wildfong to whom the blow is an exceedingly heavy one, more especially as she had passed beyond only an hour or two before Mr. Wildfong, answering a summons saying that she was not so well, hastened to her bedside."
"Miss Wildfong was only in her 21st year. She was earnestly devoted to her profession, in fact so wrapped up in her work that her progress was rapid and sure. While the people of her own town knew little of her professionally they did not know much of her as one who had grown up in their midst. She was the possessor of a singularly sweet and winning disposition, one of those bright and beautiful spirits who radiate sunshine all along life's pathway. She won her way easily to all hearts and her early demise brought sorrow to many hearts in Preston, even among those who knew her but casually. In Grace Hospital her natural sweetness of disposition had made her a great favorite, a fact very evident by the genuine display of sorrow on the part of the entire staff from the Superintendent down."
"The funeral took place on Monday afternoon. A service was held at the home of Mr. W.E. Wildfong at 11 A.M. and a public service at the Methodist church, of which deceased was a consistent member, at 2: 30 P.M. Rev. C.D. Draper conducted both services assisted by Rev. A.L. Terryberry of Toronto, but a former pastor here. Mr. Terryberry spoke very feelingly of the deceased whom he had visited frequently during her fatal illness. The esteem in which she was held was well evidenced by the many and beautiful floral offerings. The came from: the Board of Governors of Grace Hospital, the nurses in training, the medical staff, Miss Rowan, Superintendent of the hospital; Miss MacLennan, her special nurse; the Methodist church, the Men's Bible Class, Prof. Hubuer of Toronto and twenty others as tributes from college and other personal friends."
"The staff of Grace Hospital was represented by Miss Ruth Clarke of Galt and Miss Ruby Mounce both nurses in training. Deceased is survived by her father, Mr. Nelson Wildfong, one sister, Luella, and two brothers, Irvin and Teddy. Her mother pre-deceased her over two years ago."

"Alan A. Mark, son of Mr. Samuel Mark, of Huron Road, one of Wilmot's most successful farmers, called here on Monday last in the interests of the well known firm of the J.D. King Co., wholesale manufacturers of fine boots and shoes, Toronto. Mr. Mark, Jr., is a very successful traveller having worked up a large business by his persevering and gentlemanly habits. In 1885 during the North West rebellion, while No. 3 Co. 29th Battalion was practicing here under Capt. Jonathan Cook, now of Berlin, Alan then a boy of 14 offered his services, as he was bound to be a soldier, he signed the service roll, and a red coat was given him, which his parents made him bring back next day, as he was so young. A few years afterwards he again joined No. 3 Co. and attended the Military school at London, where he took first class certificates. He spent a year at London, and was complimented as a very efficient graduate, whom the officials were very sorry to part with. This short military career our young friend claims was the stepping stone between the farm and his present mercantile position, he was determined to become a commercial traveller for a first-class house, and he has secured his desire, solely accomplished by his untiring and persevering efforts."

"An unfortunate affair took place last Wednesday in Wellesley Township, not far from the Catholic church, whereby a man, Michael Huber by name, a brick-layer by trade, took the life of his old mother-inlaw as the result of an unfortunate blow. At the coroner's examination, carried out the following day by Dr. Scott, it was indicated and testified that Huber had for some time been a slave to drink and behaved like a true monster toward his family. That's the way it was on this day as well, as he drove his wife, children and mother-in-law out of the house several times. The old lady, towards evening, locked up the whiskey jug in her own chest, whereupon he grabbed the axe and broke the chest open; she then stormed into the house again to save her chest. He chased her out again, and threw a log at her with all his strength. He struck her with it with such force on the head above the ear, that her skull was split open and this led to her death eight or nine hours later."[translated from German]

"ANNA KATHLEEN CAMERON nee Shantz Jan. 20, 1919-Nov. 29, 2004 - Anna Cameron died suddenly, following a stroke, on Mon., Nov. 29, in Kitchener. Anna lived independently and fully to her last hours.
Anna was married to Ewan Cameron, who died in 1968. She leaves a daughter, Margaret, Dartmouth, N.S.; three sons, Roy (Maaike Asselbergs)and Hugh (Mary Molnar), Kitchener and Clare (Catherine), Cambridge; her daughters-in-law, Marguerite Love Cameron and Gale Brubacher Cameron, both of Kitchener, grandchildren Melanie Cameron (Mark Morton), Scot(Heather), Ewan, James, Elizabeth, Daniel and Thomas, gr-grandson Owenand brother Frank Shantz (Eleanor), Waterloo.
She was predeceased by her grandson, David; her parents Catherine 'Kate' Shirk Shantz and Allan Bowman Shantz; sisters, Erma Bingeman and Florence Becker and her brothers, Vernon, Mervin, Russell and Edward Shantz.
Anna was a remarkable woman, much loved and admired by her extended family and many friends. She embraced life, was resilient, and gave her best effort to all she did. She was devoted to building family and community. Her grandchildren delighted her and delighted in her. Anna was a dietitian at KW Hospital, an active member of Stirling Ave. Mennonite Church and enjoyed working out at the Y....Woodland Cemetery..."
KW Record obit. of Wed., Dec. 1, 2004
________________________
"At age 44, Anna Cameron was suddenly widowed, left with four dependent children in an era when there wasn't much support for single mothers.
'She was really under a lot of pressure', said her son, Roy Cameron, of Kitchener. 'She hadn't worked in 20 years...she was trained as a dietician but only worked briefly, then she got married'.
The death of her husband, Ewan, proved to be another hiccup in Anna's life, one that made her roll up her sleeves and make the best of things.
'When I look back, she must have felt so isolated', said Roy, who was proud of how his mother rose against adversity without complaint.
Born into a rural Mennonite family, Anna grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch, not learning English until grade school. In her memoirs she recounted a happy childhood full of the freedoms afforded adventurous children in rural areas.
Her family were Peter Shirk's descendants, a man described by the family as a 'prominent pioneer' in the Mennonite community. Her parents and others in the community had more progressive views on their faith than their ancestors and started Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church.
'They were a group that thought they should become more acculturated', said Roy.
Anna's mother encouraged the young to read, to let her imagination fly,and she graduated from the Macdonald Institute (Univ. of Guelph) the first in her family to do so.
When she was 12, Anna's father died, only two months after she started high school at the sprawling Kitchener Collegiate Institute, having moved from a one-room rural schoolhouse. In his eulogy, Roy talked about how difficult it was for Anna to grieve for her father and start a new school, but she did so with courage and determination.
As a young woman, Anna's life took another unexpected turn, something her pacifist Mennonite family might not have anticipated. She married a police officer. Roy once asked her why she would marry a Scottish Presbyterian who carried a gun, and she replied matter-of-factly, 'he was interesting'.
Anna was a woman of few words and not given to gushing but Roy things he rmarriage choice 'reflected her openness to life'.
Ewan was the deputy police chief in Kitchener when he died of a heart attack at age 49.
After his death, Anna was hired as a dietitian at KW Hospital, where she stayed until retirement, serving as asst. director. To Anna, creating a happy workplace for her staff was paramount, and maintaining a happy, cohesive family imperative.
'Once you were part of the family you were always part of the family',said Roy, recounting how his mother retained her closeness to her sons' former spouses.
Roy's ex-wife, Marguerite Cameron of Kitchener, agreed, explaining 'she continued to call me her daughter. That was important to her, that we maintain that relationship.'
Marguerite recalls the 1960s, when she first met Anna, a busy career mom. 'She was always very supportive and came to pitch in', she said. 'I looked up to her, as a role model'.
Anna's grandchildren were a particular delight, added Roy. 'Every year she'd have a Christmas event, grandchildren only. They'd play games, she'd get right on the floor and play with them'.
Anna, who never remarried, possessed an adventurous spirit, traveling the world after retirement. She usually went alone and was always keen to learn, to grow. She was equally interested in fitness and was a regular at the YMCA.
In the end, Anna died with the same dignity and independence that so coloured her life. She had returned home from a shopping trip when the stroke hit, but she was lucid enough to call 911 and instruct paramedics to come in the unlocked rear door. 'She was unconscious when they arrived', Roy said.
In his eulogy, Roy concluded his mother was 'heavy on deeds, light on words', that she was a woman to whom social justice and gender equality mattered. 'She gave us, her children, the remarkable gift of herself. Her most powerful guidance emerged from the example she set'. Until the end she was fully engaged in life.
Anna Cameron leaves behind her sons Roy and Hugh Cameron of Kitchener and Claire of Cambridge, daughter Margaret of Nova Scotia, seven grandchildren and one gr-grandchild. Predeceased by her husband Ewan Cameron and grandson David Cameron.")

"Another of the pioneers of West Williams' passed away at his home on the townline, in the person of Jonas Schofield on Monday, November 20th. He was born in the Township of Dumfries, County of Waterloo. When 23 yews old he moved to a fifty acre farm half a mile west of Zurich, on which he chopped and logged 4 acres and built a log house. A year afterwards he moved to the present homestead on the 20th con., 6 2 years ago. Here he cleared up his farm and made a home for himself and family. "As one of the earliest settlers he suffered and endured a the privations of pioneer life. He was in those days one of the finest looking men in the district. Owing to his great strength he was invited to all the logging bees, barn raisings and log building raisings and was considered one of the best if not the best cornermen at a log building. It was often remarked that Jonas Schofield did not know his own strength. As a man he was the essence of honor and integrity, pious and God-fearing a, member of the Methodist church, from early manhood. He was an example for all men to follow. No man ever had reason to question his honesty and fear him in business relations; his word was his bond. There were few men of his like and the world has been much better for his life in it. He had lived many years past the allotted span of life and is now gathered to his fathers." For several years he has been badly afflicted with rheumatism but always took a great interest in all the activities of life. "He was married twice, his first wife died 42 years ago. His second wife, Hannah Sawdon died last spring after a short illness. He is survived by four sons, Abiathar, West Williams, Rev. Simon of Morencie, Mich.; Rev. Henry of Mount Morris, Mich.; and Andrew on the homestead also two daughters Mrs. Thos. Sawdon, Deckerville and Miss Nancy, at home. "The funeral takes place to-day to Sylvan Cemetery where he will be buried in the family plot."

"As a young man he emigrated to Canada. As near as can be found, this was in 1842. He took up land near Lisbon, ON. In 1844 or 1845 he married Elizabeth Horst. He died August 1859, leaving a family of seven small children to mourn his early demise. The family was put under the care of a younger brother who lived in Bruce Co. The children highly respected their uncle, (Conrad), who spared no time nor money to help them along. Farmed near Lisbon, ON. "

"As we turn our steps northward we behold the old stone building on Kerr Street, known as the late Colonel Peck's Malt House, with its two high kiln cupolas, which used to send forth steam from malted barley being dried into malt for making beer; the property now being known as the Malleable Iron Works. In those days, from eighty thousand to one hundred thousand bushels of barley were converted in one season into malt, most of which was exported to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore, some going to Montreal and to the old city of Quebec. Most of the barley came from the country surrounding Galt from North and South Dumfries, Puslinch, Beverly, Wilmot and Waterloo Townships. In those days, barley constituted a big part of the farm crops which we do not find today. Why? Because the temperance wave practically killed the trade in that product and forced the farmers to raise other crops of much less value."
Thirteenth Annual Report of the Waterloo Historical Society, 1925

Death of Mr. Thomas Peck
It is with a regret that words can but feebly express that we announce today the death of our old and well-known citizen, Lieut. Col. Thomas Peck. It seems almost impossible that these words can be true - that the places which have known our friend so long shall know him no more; but the generous heart has ceased its pulsations forever, and the nature which loved everything manly for its own sake has sunk into the long, long rest of Death.
The intimate friends of Mr. Peck have known for some time past that his health has been anything but good. It was hoped, however, that rest and care would restore him to his wanted vigor; but during the past six months he failed very rapidly. He was out on Monday last, however, being apparently no worse than usual; but that evening he was compelled to take his bed from an acute attack of congestion of the lungs. It was felt by all aware of the circumstances that his condition was critical, and absent members of his family were summoned by telegraph; but the progress of the disease was remarkably rapid, and about 7 o'clock on Wednesday evening he peacefully passed away.
Mr. Peck was born at Brockford, County of Suffolk, England, on the 2nd of December, 1821, and was consequently in the 65th year of his age. He came to Galt in the year 1855, his intention being to enter into farming. If we mistake not, he did live for some time on the farm near Galt belonging to the late Thomas Rich; but a comparatively sort experience proved to him, as it has done to so many others, that he was unfitted to take up the life of a Canadian farmer, and in a short time he removed into Galt. Here he associated himself with Mr. John G. Dykes, (at present town clerk) and they built the premises on Ker Street known from that day as "Peck's Malt House." After continuing for a few years in partnership, Mr. Dykes withdrew from the firm, leaving the business in the hands of Mr. Peck alone. He continued to carry it on with varying success until a few years ago, when he found it necessary to relinquish it. On the death of Mr. Bryant, collector of customs in this town, Mr. Peck received the appointment to that office, which he occupied up to the time of his death.
During his long residence in Galt, Mr. Peck ever took the greatest interest in all manly games and sports. A devoted admirer of cricket, he was ever ready to take his place in an eleven, and even after arriving at an age when most men look for quieter amusements he could be seen in the field or with the bat, as active as many men of half his age. He also took great interest in rifle shooting, and for years occupied the position of President of the Rifle Association of this town - and the members of that association will be free to admit that a day at the butts without the presence of Col. Peck was only half enjoyable. In military matters our old fiend was an enthusiast. He was connected with the 29th Battalion for many years - first as private, then as Captain, afterwards as Major, and finally as Lieut.-Col. He had the faculty to perfection of making his men love him; and either under his command in the ranks, or employed by him in the more peaceful walks of life, all who were brought under his influence felt that they knew a manly, honest man, - one who hated shams because they were shams, and loved truth because it was truth. During several years Mr. Peck occupied a seat at Galt Council, where he brought to the performance of its duties the same sterling independence which characterized him in other matters; but although frequently requested to allow himself to be placed in nomination for the higher offices, he invariably declined.
In politics, Col. Peck was an enthusiastic Conservative, and occupied for several years the position of President of the Liberal Conservative Association of South Waterloo, and still more frequently that of the local association in Galt. He never grudged either his time or his means in advancing the interests of his party, and the conservatives of South Waterloo will long bear in remembrance the work, so well done by Col. Peck.
Mr. Peck was married before he came to this country, his wife, formerly a Miss Gissing, being left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband. Of the family of eight children, four died when quite young, leaving one son, Thomas, and three daughters, Miss Jessie, Carrie and Bessie, - all, with the exception of Miss Jessie, residing at home.
The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon, at 1 o'clock, from his late residence, Blair Road.

"Before coming to America in 1842, Johann Adam Ernst was a cobbler's apprentice in Bavaria. Learning of the American Lutherans' need and determined to offer his services, he was trained as a teacher by Pastor Wilhelm Loehe.
When Adam Ernst came to New York, he met Reverend F. Winkler who suggested Ernst go to the theological seminary in Columbus, Ohio. He did just that; became a teacher and continued his theological studies. From one of his students, he learned that there was nearby, a community of people from his homeland who were in need of ministerial services, and so began his ministery in 1843.
In Cleveland, Ohio, in 1845, at a conference of Reverend Loehe's men, Pastor Ernst was elected as one of the delegates to meet with Dr. Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther. Reverend Ernst met with Dr. Walther and his associates in St. Louis, Missouri, and as a result, Pastor Adam Ernst became a charter member of the Missouri Synod by signing their first constitution in 1847.
He then accepted a call to Eden of Erie County, New York and served there at "St. Paul's Lutheran Church" from 1849 to 1857. From here Reverend Ernst visited neighboring settlements including the town of Olean in Cattaraugus County and organized "Emanuel Lutheran Church" in 1857. Also crossing over into Ontario, Canada, he served at, organized or assisted in the organization of pastorates at Fisherville, Delhi and Elmira.
At Delhi (now Rhineland) Pastor Ernst gave his first sermon on February 28, 1854. Ernst wrote their first constitution, under which they became "St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Congregation" on April 3, 1854 and in June of that year became affiliated with the Missouri Synod. Pastor Ernst served here until 1855.
In Elmira, Reverend Ernst secured Pastor H. Wichmann to serve at "St. James". A split in this group resulted in the formation of "St. Paul's" in 1861.
Following a recovery from a throat ailment, during which time he had to fall back on his trade of shoemaking, Reverend Ernst then accepted a call to "St. John's Lutheran Church" in Euclid Township, Cayahoga County, Ohio and served there from 1860 to 1863.
Going now back into Canada, Reverend Adam Ernst took a call to minister to "St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church" in Elmira in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario and was installed as Pastor on August 2, 1863.
From Elmira, Pastor Ernst also served at "Trinity Lutheran Church" of Floradale and to this parish he added Salem and Linwood.
With the assistance of Pastor F. Dubpernell, Reverend Ernst served "St. Paul's Congregation" of Wellesley in 1864, resulting in St. Paul's joining the Missouri Synod.
As a result of the untimely death of Reverend H. Wichmann in 1863, the people of Wallace Township who had been meeting in Shipley, were left without a Pastor. "St. Paul's Lutheran Church" of what is now Kurtzville was organized by Pastor Ernst in 1864. In 1865, Pastor Ernst sent Reverend F. Dubpernell to become their first resident Pastor.
January 1, 1865, Pastor Ernst was called by a congregation at Poole. He later drew up a constitution and "St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Poole" was formed.
Approached by the "Emanuel" congregation at Petersburg in 1867, Pastor Ernst acquired for them the services of Reverend H. Koch, who now served at Wellesley.
On September 22, 1867 the people of the congregation in Kitchener (then Berlin), interviewed Reverend Ernst and he preached for them for the first time on October 13, 1867. Under the guidance of Pastor Ernst, the congregation adopted the new name of "St. Paul's".
Reverend Ernst now covered a parish consisting of not only Floradale-Salem-Linwood until 1873, but also of his flocks at St. Paul's in Elmira and St. Paul's of Kitchener, serving both of these latter congregations until 1881.
From his "home" church in Elmira, Pastor Ernst was instrumental in beginning the Ontario District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, organized in 1879, and he was its first President, serving in that office until 1882.
Upon his return to Ohio in 1882, Reverend Ernst took up residence in Euclid Township of Cayahoga County.
Reverend Adam Ernst's wife, Judith died in November of 1894 and he just two months later in January of 1895."1a

"believe that Moses B Brubacher was the child of Susannah Brubacher and an unknown father (presumably named Jacob). In 1857 Susannah was 20 years old and unmarried. Unfortunately no other record seems to exist to prove this connection (likely because of the illegitimacy of Moses' birth) although in 1851 a Jacob Simon was living close to the Brubachers and was 3 years younger than Susannah."

"Bill" or "Buck" passed away at St.Mary's Hospital, Kitchener on Sunday, February 13th in his 86th year, with congestive heart failure.
Beloved husband of the late Erla Elaine (Lederman) after 54 years of marriage: dear father of Scott and his wife Janet, Elizabeth Wing and her husband Paul, Cathy Plomske and her husband Grant, all of Waterloo, son-in-law David Schwalm and his wife Lynda of Parry Sound.; loving grandfather of Luke (Tara) and Kristina Schwalm, Emily, Kate and James Uffelman, Elysse and Todd Wing, Adam, John and Heidi Plomske and Jon-David and Amy Schwalm. Special great-grandfather to Suzy Schwalm, and many dear nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Orley and Minota, wife Erla,( 2001), and his loving daughter Susan Schwalm (1986).
Buck was a gifted athlete playing ball for the Waterloo Tigers and hockey for the Siskins at age 15. He left both to join the RCAF at 17. He was proud to be in the service during the war and told many stories of his enlisted time. He later coached the Waterloo Midget Hockey team to their first ever Ontario final. He was a founding member and trustee of Parkminster United Church, Waterloo. While he was a member of the Waterloo Park Board he helped acquire Bechtel Park, Parkview Cemetery and the Canbar Lands for Waterloo Park. He also served as a PUC commissioner for more than 12 years, leading the polls in every election he ran in. During his tenure, Waterloo North Hydro was born and new headquarters were built on Northfield Dr. He was very proud to be from Waterloo and marveled at its tremendous growth.
He will be sadly missed by his entire extended family including his four dear sisters, Elinor Martin, Phyllis Turner, Barbara Joan Schutts (Al), and Peggy Biederman (Glenn) and his brother, friend and business partner, Jim (Denise). Also brother-in-law, Dick Meunier.He will be greatly missed by special friends, Jim Huck, Frederick Uffelmann, Bette Goman and Ron Berger. Bill loved his family and friends.
In younger years, Bill curled but in later years golf became his passion. He was a life long member of Westmount Golf & Country Club \endash claiming his first hole- in- one at the age of 75. He helped form the Rainbow Ridge Golf Course near his summer home in Manitowaning, Manitoulin Island. His grandsons were special to him whether they were playing golf together or talking about life. He loved them dearly and they valued their relationship with a very wise man.
After his service duty, he joined his father and brother, Jim, at the Ontario Seed Company. Following his father's death in 1963, Jim and Bill expanded and grew the company. Buck loved the seed company and everyone who worked there. It was a true joy for him to come to work and he continued to do so until his death. His son, Scott and daughters Elizabeth and Cathy are an integral part of the company and were fortunate to be able to spend every day with their father. OSC has continued to grow and it was with great joy for Buck that it has become a true family business as many of the grandchildren have worked at OSC during their summer vacations making it a 5th generation business. His granddaughters were very special to him. They were his pride and joy and he enjoyed every moment of their visits. "We love you Poppa."
We will miss this incredible force in all our lives both family and friends. He enjoyed life and shared his love and humour and words of wisdom with everyone.
Bill's family will receive friends at Erb & Good Funeral Home, 171 King St. S, Waterloo on Thursday, February 17th from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. A private family memorial service will be held on Friday, February 18th followed by a celebration of his life at Westmount Golf and Country Club at 3 pm.

"Black Horse Inn itself was purchased in 1853 by the owner Nelson Newcombe and his wife Fanny. He and his wife and four children lived at the inn while offering room and board for travellers passing through. A man of local history, William Campbell, once told Harley about the inn. He described the building as two storeys with a large front porch and bedrooms upstairs which could be accessed by a stairway that entered into the centre of a long narrow hall. Records held from 1851 and 1861 show that the tavern was a frame building with "five spare bedrooms and stabling for eight horses". The foundations proves that the inn stood at a size of 70' x 40'.
The inn became a popular stop-over area between Galt and Plattsville and not only did it provide a room to rest but also a bar, dining room and sitting room. It was said that it was at the Black Horse Tavern where a group of notorious highway robbers directed under Lou Mudge worked out of. David Goldie, son of John Goldie founder of Greenfield Village, was advised to bring a gun with him as he traveled down the road past the tavern."

BROWN, THOMAS PICTON SIMON was listed in the Canada Gazette of November 21, 1846 as having received his licence to practice. He was in Stoney Creek at that time, and on January 8, 1852, the Hamilton Gazette reported his marriage to Henrietta, daughter of Thomas Waddle, Esq., of Barton Hall.
The Berlin Chronicle of March 16, 1858 noting that he had resumed the practice of his Profession in Berlin, presented his card:
DOCTOR BROWN PHYSICIAN, SURGEON & ACCOUCHEUR RESIDENCE, corner of Weber and Younge streets, nearly opposite the R. Catholic Church
BERLIN, C. W.
Tenders his professional services to the inhabitants of Berlin and vincintiy
On account of being known only in a different capacity, during a residence of eighteen months in this place begs to state that for the previous 10 years he was solely occupied in the general practice of his profession.
It is not recorded in what capacity he was known previously, although on July 4, 1856 Dr. Bowlby presented to the Town Council a petition from Dr. Brown and others, praying that the sidewalk on Weber Street be laid on the north side of the street. He must have been concerned with matters other than sidewalks.
Less than a year later his obituary appeared in the Berlin Telegraph of February 11, 1859, saying that "by his amiable disposition and sterling integrity, (he) gained the esteem of all who knew him, . . ."
On October 12, 1860 it was reported that his widow, now her name spelled Waddell, had died of consumption in Hamilton.

"Carl Ahrens was born in Winfield, near Elora, Ontario. He moved to Berlin, Ontario where he attended school until his father's death in 1875. He later lived in Winnipeg and travelled extensively in the American and Canadian west. Returning to Berlin, he worked as a dyer in a button factory, where he began his mastery of colour. In his early twenties he began to paint from his Toronto studio. His first exhibition was at the Ontario Society of Artists in 1889. In 1891 he was elected associate painter of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. He later studied painting and sculpture in New York. From 1900 to 1902, Ahrens lived in New York State where he helped to start the Roycroft pottery. In 1922, after a sojourn of several years in the U.S., he and his family moved back to Toronto, and soon after settled in a farmhouse near Galt, Ontario, which Carl named "Big Trees". Here he painted and taught, often entertaining Homer Watson, a lifelong friend. A childhood bout of tuberculosis in the hip left him an invalid in his later years, although he continued to paint until his death in 1936 at the age of 73"

Says the Chicago Canadian American: - "Doctor C. A. Ahrens, a rising young dentist of Nebraska city, Neb., and an old Berlin, Ont., boy, a few days ago did what thousands of other young Canadian Americans have done \endash went across the line and took unto himself a life companion in the person of Miss Emily Carroll, of Toronto.

A pole was handed to him when about sinking by Joseph Hagey, but he paid no attention to it. He was taken out of the river about an hour afterwards. An inquest was held the same evening by Coroner Bowlby, of Berlin, and a verdict of "accidental death," returned"

Having noticed in the Guardian your request to forward to you any remembrances of the late venerable Father Corson, I send the following: I first saw and heard Mr. Corson in the Township of Waterloo, about a mile and a half above Preston; the ' preaching place' was at a primitive log-house, the residence of the late Samuel Cornell, to which place my parents used to repair weekly for preaching and class-meeting, taking me with them this was about the year 1824 or 1825. Memory now paints Mr. Corson as a light, nimble, tough little man, of about 125 or 130 lbs. avordupoise, with light hair and sharp, sparkeyes. His manner of preaching was quick, bordering on the abrupt; his subjects were generally solemn; his appeals sharp; his applications appropriate; and his proofs always cogent and logical; and, I ought to add, his method generally orderly and systematic. About the time I speak of, I witnessed what, to my young mind, appeared to be a hard test of his muscular ability. At the preaching, a tall, muscular, large-boned Dutchman, lately converted, applied for baptism by immersion at the hands of our little hero. A procession was formed, headed by our preacher, arm in arm with the neophyte, followed by a singing band of brothers and sisters, who sang with power and pathos the old expressive stanza,
'Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry,
We're inarching through Emmanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high, &c.'
"Father Corson" or, The old style Canadian itinerant

"Dr. Amos F. Baumann, "the third and youngest son of Moses Baumann, was born at Bloomingdale, Waterloo County, September 29th, 1857. He spent his boyhood days on his father's farm. In 1875 and 76 he prepared himself to pass the teacher's examinations, and in 1877 he was fully qualified for the profession for the province of Ontario. Not finding teaching to be a very pleasant calling, he retired from the profession and began to prepare himself for medical calling. After several years of hard study he passed the medical examinations, and is now one of the most successful doctors of the County. He graduated at Toronto University in 1885. In the same year he entered upon the practice of his profession at Waterloo where he soon gained a liberal patronage. He holds the position as Medical Referee for the Dominion Life Assurance Company.

"Enoch Cornell, father of Jonas, a thrifty agriculturist, was born in the State of New York in 1788, and there in a well regulated home received wholesome rearing. Practical knowledge of agriculture decided him upon reaching manhood to engage in that pursuit, which he followed for the most part throughout his active career. After attaining some success in this line, and while still a young man, he married in Ontario, Mary Sipes, who was born in the State of New York, and of this union there were nine children: Sylvanus, who was a farmer of Bosanquet township, Lambton County, for many years, died in Manitoba. Joanna married Daniel Wintemute. Harriet was the wife of Aaron Cornell, both being now deceased. Joseph and Andrew, who were both residents of Bosanquet township, are deceased. John lives in Thedford. Jonas mentioned elsewhere. Stephen, who resided in Bosanquet township, and Hannah, who married Alexander Ketchie, are now deceased.
After marriage, Mr. Cornell settled upon a tract of new land in Beverley township, County of Wentworth, Ont., and began making improvements. He opened up new areas, put the land under excellent cultivation, and and was soon carrying on a flourishing industry. His well-furrowed fields yielded excellent crops of grain and vegetables, and his pasture and orchards were among the finest in his locality. In his methods he was progressive, and he equipped his farm with everything necessarty for carrying on all branches of general agriculture. Success crowned his efforts, and he in time became not only a leading agriculturist of his vicinty, but also a throughly properous one. He continued his labours in this section the rest of his active life, and there died in 1848."1a

"Forever Young" HUGHES, Henrietta Hettie was born in London, England and grew up there during the war years. She was the oldest of four children. Valerie, Hettie's oldest daughter, says "Mom would tell us (and then my three children) these wonderful stories of her years growing up in England. The mischief she got into, being sent to bed with no supper because she was late getting home. Stories about days spent at John Pound's Mission and her work during the war with the ARP. How at 18 years of age, when their home in London was destroyed by a bomb during The Blitz, she had to find the family a place to live as her father was a trucker and was away for long periods of time. Stories we would listen to over and over. I often told her, that she should write them down so we would have them to keep. Sadly, it never happened." When Hettie came to Canada from England in 1947, sponsored by an aunt in Owen Sound, a woman asked her if she was a war bride. When she replied that she wasn't, the woman advised her to go back to England. But Hettie was determined to make a new life in this new country for her daughter, Valerie (Bock) and her son Raymond.
Raymond was very ill and the doctors advised her to leave the wet climate of England. Her youngest daughter Christine was born here. She also has three grandchildren, Traci, Donna and Steven Bock. She scrubbed floors and worked in a laundry, learning the business and living above the shop. In 1959, she moved to Kitchener and got a job bookkeeping for George Beck at his Waterloo warehouse. When Beck sold his business, he referred Hettie to his friend, Sid Stone, who needed a bookkeeper for his Kitchener restaurants, Stone's Old Castle Inn and Rockway Restaurant, both located at King and Jackson Streets across from each other. Hettie quickly picked up on the restaurant trade. "Sidney Stone was my mentor and I have a good pair of eyes", she said. When Stone's health failed in 1979, he offered to sell her one of the restaurants. She opted for Rockway, not wanting the hassle of dealing with liquor, and tired of the late hours needed to run the Old Castle Inn.
It became a family run operation. Her daughter Christine was the manager/cook and her daughter Valerie was the bookkeeper. Her three grandchildren all worked part time at Rockway while in high school. Donna continued to work at the restaurant after graduating from Eastwood Collegiate. Donna's husband, Paul Jonah was also employed at Rockway as a cook and both worked there until the restaurant closed. Doug Bock, Val's husband worked there for a number of years after the company he was with was sold. Although Raymond was not involved in the operation of the restaurant, Hettie supported his passion for car racing by sponsoring him. The #24 yellow and black hobby car, with the fish on the hood and "Thanks Mom" on the side, was seen regularly at Flamboro Speedway. Ray, not a lover of fish and chips and asked frequently if he ate at Rockway, would say, "if God had wanted me to eat fish, he would have made me a seagull." A regular sponsor of the "Powder Puff Race", The Canadian Vintage Modified Club presented Hettie with an award for her "Outstanding Contribution" to the club in 1998.
Hettie enjoyed a long association with the Zonta Club and the Sales and Ad Club. She received the City of Kitchener's 2003 Award of Distinction for Business in June of 2003. She enjoyed figure skating shows, music, musical theatre and Coronation Street. Tennis was her passion and American tennis player Andre Agassi was her favourite player. On impulse, one summer she and her two daughters jumped in the car and drove to Cincinnati, Ohio, watched Agassi practice and play one game, and then drove home…..but not before she had an autograph! Just this past August, she and her daughters watched Agassi play in the Tour of Champions in Toronto at the Rogers Cup. Despite her arthritis and two knee replacements, Hettie kept active. She shared a home with daughter Val and was in control of the kitchen, doing most of the cooking, which was fine with Val. "I don't mind cleaning, doing dishes or laundry but I have no interest in food" says Val. Hettie did not like shopping unless it was a grocery store and would spend hours with Chris going from one store to another getting "the good deals." She also walked Donna's two dogs using snow shoes and ski poles when it was icy. "You can get around if you want to" she would say.
In 2005, at the age of 83, she went back to England (with her daughters) to visit her sister, Doris Pegram. They rented a car and took Doris on day trips around England including Stonehenge, Windsor and a visit to their cousin Joan Firth in Kent. Hettie also enjoyed a visit with her lifelong friend, Lily Hofmeister (a spritely woman who even Val had a hard time keeping up with). Their friendship spans 77 years! Then it was off to Paris and a day of sightseeing. A vacation to remember!
In June of 2008, nearing her 85th birthday, Hettie decided it was "time to say good-bye" to the restaurant. When the news of the closure made it to the media the response was overwhelming. The final month of business saw endless lines of customers, new and old, eager to enjoy Rockway's famous fish and chips one last time. At a farewell party held at the restaurant, former employees, friends, sales representatives, and customers spent an evening recalling the "good old days." Last year, Hettie bored, and needing something more to do with her days, decided to volunteer at the Rockway Senior Centre. She was once again in her element, working in the lunch and tuck shop, being with people. Many of the patrons at the centre were familiar with her and Rockway Restaurant. She even participated in an exercise class! She enjoyed the time she spent there.
At her Celebration of Life gathering, friends and relatives travelled from as far as England, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana and all across Ontario to reflect on how Hettie has touched their lives. She was a caring and generous person, always ready with a smile and a hello……even though she was never good with names! She will be missed by all who knew her. Remembrance Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain. To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never. Like memories of those happy times When we were all together.

Theresa Walsh heard this story from her cousin, who heard it from his mother. John was a stonemason and builder. One job he was not paid for, so he went to see the man at the hotel. They argued and left together. When the hotel closed, John's body was found in the street. According to his obituary, he helped raise the new cross in the new Catholic cemetery. He didn't realize he would be the first laid to rest there.

"GEORGE SMITH, farmer, Brantford P.O., is a son of James Smith, who was one of three brothers, born near Edinburgh, Scotland. James was born about 1763, and was the only one to come to Canada. He was married to Patience Austin, of English birth, who died in Canada. James, while in his native country, was engaged in the nursery business, but in 1836 he, with wife and five children, settled in Brantford Township, where two years later death released him from his worldly cares, but she survived until 1854. Up to his death he had only started the nursery business, when his sons George and William took charge of it and conducted the business. They had been schooled to the business from early life. From the nursery of Smith's many of the old orchards now in the county were started."

His neighbor thought he had slept in but when the store still was not opened at noon, nor did he hear the radio as usual, he notified the doctor and police chief and broke the window in the door to gain entrance.
Mr. Glick was born in Preston June 17 1851. He came to Hespeler when a child, and Is later years worked as a drygoods clerk for John Braid. This store is now Ptrong's bookstore. Later Mr. Glick opened a clothing store, now part of Guenther's jewellery store. This was called Glick's block. After that in 1906, he opened a shoe store which he has conducted ever since.
One sister Mrs. Smith of Pittsburg, Pa., survives. Mrs Anthony Oakes of Preston, widow of the late Dr. Oakes, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Henderson of Seattle are nieces.
