"Harry Warren Hilborn had a long and fruitful career in university Spanish teaching and in research in Spanish literature. For his place in Spanish studies and teaching in Canada, it is fitting to pay tribute to him as the first Canadian-trained hispanist and a greatly respected and beloved member of the profession. He was educated at Galt Collegiate Institute and the University of Toronto, with a B.A. (Honours) in Modern Languages (1923), M.A. (1925, and the first Ph.D. in Spanish Language and Literature to be conferred by that University (1935). There he received his training in the methods of literary history and research under Toronto's Professor Milton A. Buchanan and he subsequently broke new ground in research on the dramatic works of Calderon de la Barca. Harry began his teaching career at the University of Toronto in 1923, then joined the faculty of Acadia University as Associate Professor of Romance Languages. From 1927 to 1950 he had a distinguished career at Acadia, becoming Professor in 1941 and Head of the Department of Romance languages in 1949. In 1950 he was appointed to the faculty of Queen's University as Professor of Spanish and Italian and Head of the Department, in which capacity he served with distinction until his retirement in 1966. He continued to contribute to the work of the Department following his retirement by teaching for four more years and became Professor Emeritus in 1970. In 1961 he was honoured by Acadia University, which conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Letters, Honoris Causa. Dr. Hilborn was the author of two books, A Chronology of the plays of D. Pedro Caleron de la Barca (1938), and The Modern Mexican Essay (1965), an annotated translation from the Spanish, and was a contributor to a third volume, Calderon de la Barca studies 1951-69 (1971). He was the author of some dozen articles on Spain,Spanish Golden Age Drama, and the study and teaching of Spanish. Dr. Hilborn was an active member of a number of professional associations and held office in several, including Chairman of the Comediantes Group of the Modern Language Association of America, Chairman of the Spanish Sub-section of the Ontario Modern Language Teachers' Assoc. and subsequently Vice-President and President of the Association.

"I am the great-granddaughter of Solomon Roth. My great-grandfather Solomon Roth (he called himself John Solomon Roth as an adult) was born to Barbara Bast (father unknown) in New Hamburg and adopted by Jacob B. and Catherine Roth. The family story was that he was an orphan and adopted however DNA testing led me to discover that it appears his unwed mother gave him up for adoption and eventually married and moved to the United States.

"I have a bit on Hannah. She married Frederick Yandt in Dec 15,1870 at Normanby, he was 56 and she was 24 years old. They had Jacob, Elizabeth, Martha, William (my gg great grandfather ) and Johannes. Sometime between 1877 when she became pregnant with Elizabeth and the 1881 census Frederick died ( I have the cemetery transcription and if it is the same Frederick he died 1880).
After his death in July 26, 1883 at Normanby, she married a John McLeod, son of Duncan McLeod and Ann McArthur. In the "Farm Lanes of Bentinck" history book. at the back it ha s a list of the cemetery transcriptions for the area and it lists a Mrs.Hannah McLeod 1845-1939 buried with John Yandt and his wife Elizabeth. I do not know if she had any children with John McLeod or not.
I also have Frederick Simon Yandt's military file and it lists a Mrs. Hannah McLeod as his mother and living in Indian Head Saskatchewan. When he enlisted in Feb of 1916 she was living in Neustadt, Ont and by October of 1916 she had moved to Oakre River Manitoba and then to Indian Head Sask. I don't have a Frederick listed as one of Hannah's kids but I may have missed one. I have another Hannah Yandt that married a Dan McLeod as well so I am not sure which one is the Hannah that is his mother."

"In 1834, Alexander Fleming, a young boy of eight years, known familiarly as Sandy, emigrated with his widowed mother, Lillias (nee Gregor), his two younger brothers, John and James, and his Gregor grandparents, Peter and Margaret, with their family of seven. In one record, Sandy also mentions his half sister who also came. (Perhaps his father was a widower with one child, when Lillias married him.) They sailed on the ?Alfred of Alloway?, which carried eight Scottish families on board. The voyage took nine weeks and three days. They were short of water, and the food was mostly fat pork and black bread, with one bowl of oatmeal porridge in the morning."

FLEMING, ALEXANDER
At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Beattie of Blair, on Wednesday, August 25, 1926, in his 101st year. Former resident of Puslinch. He was in his usual good health and in process of all his faculties, until a few days previous to his death. Mr. Fleming was born in Edinburgh and came to this country with his mother, when he was 8 years of age. They settled in Morriston but it was not long after their arrival that his mother died and Sandy, cast on his own resources, went to work for a farmer in the neighbourhood. Here he learned in the school of hard work, that splendid characteristic which helped him all through life, namely, self reliance. In the course of time, he bought a bush farm situated on the tenth concession, about three miles from Aberfoyle. After many years of hard work, the farm was finally cleared. The old log house in which he first lived is still standing, reminiscent of the days of his early struggles and the scene of his first home joys. A beautiful home now stands on the old farm, a monument to his industry and progressiveness. Survived by three daughters, Mrs. Frank Beattie of Blair; Mrs. Hugh Reid of Galt; Mrs. George Dixon of Hamilton; and one son, Alexander on the old homestead.

"In 1913, Baden area farmer Peter L. Moyer was 52 years old. He had been married since 1888 to Mary Anna Reeve and was a member of the Steinmann Amish Mennonite church. Moyer was dissatisfied, in fact, very dissatisfied with church arrangements. Sunday services alternated between Steinmann's and St. Agatha Amish Mennonite church (a.k.a. Lichti's church). Steinmann's was on Snyder's Road, well west of Baden, almost at Nafziger Road: Lichti's was on Erb's Road just west of St. Agatha. Today, it's hardly a five-minute drive. Put yourself at the Moyer farm in winter 1912. Many second Sundays he had to horse-and-buggy his family and friends for an hour over unplowed roads to Lichti's.
Moyer's solution? Build and pay for a simple frame church building on a small property in Baden and make it a fellowship hall, open to all denominations. Under various names and overseers, it served for almost nine decades. By the 1990s, Wilmot Mennonite Fellowship Hall was primarily a rental facility for community groups although a small congregation, West Hills Mennonite Fellowship, held Sunday services. On April 14, 2000, fire destroyed the building. Arson, whether accidental or purposeful, was the initial assumption but no one was ever charged."

"In examining the "Colonial Records" of Philadelphia we find that quite a number of Schneiders came from various parts of central Europe and settled in Pennsylvania. In volume NO. 4, page 59, we find that one hundred and fifty emigrants from the Palatinate (Pfaltz) and other places of Europe came in the vessel "Harle" of London. Among this number we find the progenitor, Johannes Schneider. These together with old "Hannes" (Johannes) were qualified, i.e. because citizens of Pennsylvania and subject to the Crown, His Majesty King George II, in September, 1736. Johannes Schneider or, as tradition has it, Johannes Jacob Schneider, to distinguish him from his relative who happened to have the same name, Jacob being added to know that he was Jacob's (his father's name) "Hans" and not Michael's (his uncle's) "Hans," was born about the year 1697. To whom he was married cannot be ascertained at so late a date. Owing to his strict adherence to the Protestant faith he was subjected to the same tests and fiery persecutions as what his co-religionists were. Early in the year 1736 he left his native home and set sail, with others, for London, England, thence to America where they landed in August of the same year and were naturalized a few days later. In September he with his wife and family moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they settled on a large tract of land. When old Johannes Schneider died is not known, neither what number of children he had. We know of two sons, Jacob and Christian. There may have been others but the descendants of Jacob never knew of more than Christian."

"In the first part of February, I was moved to visit my brothers who lived near Guelph. I started accordingly, accompanied by my wife. The snow was deep, and we had an uncommonly hard journey. When within about three miles of the place we met my brother William. Being very tired we were overjoyed at the meeting, but soon, alas, our joy was turned to sorrow, for he informed us that my brother James was dead. He had died the day before of inflammation of the lungs, and we had arrived in time to attend the funeral, which was to take place at two o'clock the next day. We had expected to meet him well and happy, and enjoy a pleasant visit with him. We arrived at his house and found him cold in death, with his wife and nine children weeping around him. It was an affecting time. The next day about eighty sleighs filled with people met at the house, and followed his remains to the Manse burying ground."

"In the late 1980's, a group of concerned individuals decided to do something about the fact that rental housing was becoming increasingly hard to afford. At the time, the Federal Government of Canada used to sponsor a co-op housing program through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
The founding group approached CMHC and got the ball rolling. The group incorporated as Bread and Roses Co-operative Homes (Kitchener). Our name: Bread and Roses is symbolic of the fact that people need not just a home (Bread), but also a community to live in and belong to (the Roses). In addition, it is the title of a historically significant song from the labour movement.
THE BUTTON FACTORY
The original building began life as a button factory in 1879. Owned and operated by Emil Vogelsang. This historical site became available to Bread and Roses,
negotiations were concluded and construction began. A new high-rise building was put up and the historical factory was converted into apartments.
Finally, after a long and adventurous road, the first members moved into the project in June of 1990. Because the goal was not to make a profit, but rather to provide safe and secure housing to those who needed it, special efforts were made to accommodate those who are at a disadvantage in seeking comfortable housing. Just over half of the apartments were designated as rent-geared-to-income housing (RGI); and is funded by CMHC. We were also able to get 4 wheelchair-accessible units and reserve two RGI units for people living with HIV/AIDS. From the beginning, we have been a mixed-income community and have welcomed diversity in our membership.
Since being founded, Bread and Roses has gone through many phases of community building and learning how to run its own affairs independently. Having lately gone through a series of building improvements, we are currently focusing on community growth and a culture of involvement where members are active in the day-to-day running and decision-making of the Co-op. Every new member is an additional asset to Bread and Roses. Each bringing with them new experiences and skills to contribute to our little community."

The Button Industry
A young German named Emil Vogelsang came to Berlin in 1867 and chummed with Allan Huber, son of H. S. Huber. One day the merchant questioned the youth,
"What can you do, Emil?"
"I'm a button turner."
"Then show us how you make buttons."
"Before I could do that," said Emil, "I'd need a lathe and a batch of ivory-nuts."
Mr. Huber had a lathe made in Waterloo and imported a shipment of nuts for Mr. Vogelsang. The latter leased a room and power from the Simpson Furniture Company and soon was manufacturing first-class buttons. He called his venture, "The Pioneer Button Works." The buttons found a ready sale in Eastern Canada and the United States. His was the first button factory in Canada, if not in America..
Before long Mr. Vogelsang needed a factory of his own. He interested J. J. Woelfle in the enterprise and they awarded Jacob Y. Shantz a contract to erect a $20,000 building on the northeast corner of King and College Streets. Before it was up Mr. Woelfle withdrew. Mr. Shantz then purchased an interest in the button works for a sum equal to the price of the building and entered into a 7-year agreement with Mr. Vogelsang. When that term expired Mr. Vogelsang retired and built another button factory in South Queen Street, which he later sold to the W. G. & R. Shirt Company. (Now occupied by the Fehrenbach Mattress Co.)
Mr. Shantz had not had any practical experience in the manufacture of buttons, yet did not wish to see the employees deprived of their livelihood. He therefore continued manufacturing and after costly experimenting, during which he was assisted by his son, M. B. Shantz, the factory was placed on a sound footing. Mr. Shantz's sons Dilman and John likewise joined him. Jacob Y. Shantz & Sons became the largest employers of labor in Berlin. For a time there were four button factories in the town and it was widely known as "Buttonville." Jacob Y. Shantz entered into partnership also with a Mr. Feick and made felt goods in the button-factory basement.

Tuerk, who was already here as the minister of the New Jerusalem Church (Swedenborg). Another of her brothers worked for Emil in the Vogelsang Button Factory and it is said that he embezzeled money and thus ruined the business. Emil opened a new Button Factory in Port Elgin, ON. He died at age 59 after he moved back to Berlin, ON, and the VOGELSANG burial plot is in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Kitchener. | Vogelsang, Emil (I32115)

"In the year of our Lord 1857, the tenth month and the tenth day, a tiny baby was born,weiqhinq three pounds fully dressed. The hands were so small that the nurse slipped her finqer ring over them to the wristfor a bracelet. The nurse was aunt Nancy Kolb, the baby's mothers sister. For months the babe was feed witha spoon. Nursing bottles ware unheard of at thet time. The child was named Nancy Ellen, not in honor of anyone in particular but just to be different. There were Mary Anns and Lydianna, Lizanns, Sarah\emdash Amos and Nancy Anns, but there were no Ellens in the whole relationship.
So the little stranqer was named Ellen. The qrand parents on both sides were Mennonites by faith and the forelqn and almost heathen name of Ellen could hardly be endured. Puttinci Nancy , a good reliable family name before it toned it down. The grand dames said by always saying Nancyellen, it was not so bad, but the father recorded only Ellen in the family book.
The birthplace of Nancy Ellen was in a very small town in Ontario, Canada, known as the toll bridge. So named because of the new bridge across the river. The bridge was being paid for by the toll each one had to pay when crossing. A few houses, a small store and a few other small places of business made up the little village. A large barn like farmhouse bordering on the town was the exact spot where Nancyellen was born. Her father was teaching school in a nearby country school. This farm was not the real home of the Bowman family. A few rooms ware rented only for the school year, The permanent home was in the little berg of Breslau. The family at this time consisted of Albert and Abram. Angeline, the first daughter, died at the age of ten months and was buried in the Mennonite cemetary near the town of Berlin. The father, Jacob C.Bowrnan, second son of Elias and Polly Bowman taught school a number of years. He made brooms during vacation in company with Elias Snider, the owner of the big farmhouse and brother-in-law of Jacob C. Bowman. They sold the brooms in Preston and other small cities.

"It was at Capt. Smith's, in 1821, that the Wilbee's, a family of English settlers going to the Pilkington Estate, found shelter. Some of them were sick with typhus fever and were here nursed back to health. During the voyage out, on a vessel called the "Asia," a baby girl had been born and she was called "Mary Asia." At Capt. Smith's the young mother died of the hardships of the voyage, leaving the baby girl to be nursed and cared for, for two years, by Capt. Smith's family. One of the sons was especially kind to the mitherless bairn. The others in the family teased him by saying she would be his wife some day, never thinking that it might be true, but again was truth strangers than fiction for Mary Asia Wilbee became Mrs. Cushman Smith.

Holy Family Roman Catholic Church
Begun: 1858
Early Catholic settlers attended church in South Easthope, Perth County, and in St. Agatha. A schoolhouse in New Hamburg which was purchased on August 11, 1858, was moved to a lot on the east side of Wilmot Street. The land was donated by a non-Catholic. The building was renovated, and dedicated on November 21, 1858 by Father Eugene Funcken from St. Agatha. It soon became apparent that the church was too small for the growing congregation but it was not until the Spring of 1882 that excavation was begun on the foundation for a new building on the west side of town. Once again, a church was built on donated land - the land this time given to the church by Joseph Hartmann, Sr. Although the new white brick church building was completed on July 27, 1883 with the cross in place on the spire, it was not until May 11, 1884 that it was blessed and dedicated. An addition was built in 1967-1968. The date on the church is 1883.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY FAMILY
This parish was formed in 1858, being attended from St. Agatha by Rev. E. Funcken who purchased an old public school, erected a tower on it and changed the interior to suit an ecclesiastical building; this served as the place of worship for the ensuing 25 years. In 1881, Mr. Jos. Hartmann donated an acre of ground on Huron Street., about the centre of the town, and building operations for the present church were commenced and completed in 1883. The site was a magnificent one, the church standing elevated above every other building in the town and can easily be seen from any part of Hamburg and surrounding country. The church is 45 by l00, is beautifully frescoed, well furnished and a credit to its congregation. In 1892, one acre of ground was bought from Jacob A. Roth by John Buckel, Sr., for $200.00. The deed was registered to the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of the Diocese of Hamilton on September 9th, 1897. A cemetery was thereon laid out in plots of 15 x 15 feet. There are two main roads and avenues and the cemetery is entirely surrounded by maple trees. In 1907 an additional acre and a quarter to the cemetery was obtained. Much work has been done on it to bring it to its present fitting condition.The Sacred Heart Society has a large number of members, is in a very flourishing condition and has as officers:\emdash Mrs. Carl Messner, President; Miss Susannah Hartmann, Secretary-Treasurer.

"It wasn't luck that built the business, but quality and service."
This is the slogan of Wingham's Market. Charles Wingham, proprietor of Wingham's Market, began his career in the meat business in Stevens county with a market on the corner of Main and Astor, where the Bank of Colville now stands. That was in 1900. Three years later he conducted a similar business in Marcus and then returned to Colville, purchasing his former market. In 1905 he bought the P. H. Hessel business, and soon he was managing five markets, one in each of the following towns: Chewelah, Addy, Springdale, Meyers Falls, Colville. Finally Mr. Wingham purchased the interests of his partners and concentrated his attention on the Colville business.
Six years ago he built the brick building in which he is conducting one of the best equipped and most modern meat markets in the northwest. A modem chilling plant, using the ammonia system, is part of the up to-date equipment of the market. There is the latest type of sausage machinery, a hydraulic press for pressing out lard, and other improved accessories. The walls and woodwork of the basement and the chilling plant are enameled with packinghouse enamel. Everything is as clean and spotless as the most particular housewife could desire and thirty years of experience could make it.
One is impressed not only by the sanitary appearance of the shop, but also by the attractively arranged displays of meats, fruits and vegetables. Head lettuce, leaf lettuce, tomatoes, celery, cauliflower, radishes, grapefruit, oranges and other fruits and vegetables in and out of season look very inviting to the shopper as they are placed on exhibit by Mr. Shonewald each morning. It is evidently a belief in the Wingham Market that a meat market should look just as appetizing as a confectionery showcase or a delicatessen display. Much of the credit for his success is attributed by Mr. Wingham to the fact that he has always paid strict attention to his business.
He began thirty years ago by helping his brother-in-law peddle some meat in a trip through the small towns of Minnesota. He liked it and decided to learn the meat business, and his thirty years of experience have given him judgment in buying meats of quality. There are customers who have been patrons of the market for as long as twelve years, believing in its quality and service. As to service, Mr. Wingham gives a large share of credit for his market's success in serving the public to Frank Shonewald and T. L. Montgomery, who have been with him for some time, and to his son Roscoe who is in the business with him. "It wasn't luck that built the business,' but quality and service" is the slogan of Wingham's Market.

"James W. Davis, Tin and Sheet-iron Manufacturer"
Dumfries Reformer and Western Counties General Advertiser 13 Feb 1861
______________________
GALT IN JULY, 1844
Mr. Alex. Addison has sent us quite a curiosity in its way the first and second number of the Dumfries Courier, published in Galt in July, 1844. The paper itself is a curiosity, and its advertisements and other contents have provoked in our mind a resurrection of many old events, which might have remained in oblivion for ever had not this record come in our way. The Courier was printed by Mr. B. C. Hearle, and embraced 24 columns of matter not nearly the size of the Reformer, while the typography would be considered rather antiquated at the present day. … . Among its advertisers, we find that "New Goods" have been received by J. K. Andrews: Robert Edmond desires "Tailoring" to any extent; Æ. B. Gordon announces "Fresh Arrivals," of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods; Wagstaff & Ramore have he best Tin and Sheet Iron Ware in Galt; and Robert Gillespie has on hand a general stock of Dry Goods, Groceries and Hardware. Besides these names, we find the following advertisers: Donald McIntosh, Tavern-Keeper and Tailor, a strange combination; Alexr. Beckett, Barber and Hair-dresser; Courtenay & Service, Dry Goods dealers; James W. Davis, Tin and Sheet-iron Manufacturer; Andrew Oliver, Druggist; John Dodd, engraver; and John Miller and Adam Ainslie, Barristers. These names comprise all the advertisers, and will recall to those who have long lived in Galt, many strange reminiscences of bygone days. We thank Mr. Addison for placing these old papers on our taable. | Davis, James W. (I119607)

"James W. Markham is the head of a small settlement located about three miles distant from Traverse City, and known as Norris,Ile [Leelanau County]. Here he is engaged in the manufacture of brick on a very extensive scale, and gives employment to form thirty to fifty men.." - Excerpt from "Portrait and Biographical Record of Northern Michigan," published by Record Publishing Company of Chicago, 1895.
_______________________
For these hands and their families he has erected a number of neat and substantial houses in the vicinity of his own home. Mr. Markham is a striking example of the self-made men of America. Hardly twenty years ago he was a poor man, with but little more than a few clothes and a shovel. Nevertheless, he possessed those inherited qualities of pluck and energy which compel fortune to smile, and after prospecting for a time he discovered a good bank of clay suitable for brick. He commenced in a small way as a manufacturer, and now sells brick by the million. The father of J. W., James Markham, who is living under his roof, is a native of England, but settled in Canada at an early day and engaged in farming. His wife, Sarah, nee Pipe, lived to be fifty-two years of age, and he is now in his eightieth year. Of their union were born the following children: Mary Ann, who became the wife of John Rogers, of Wiarton, Ontario; David, who is engaged in the brick and lumber business at Osceola, this state; John, who enlisted in the Civil War, and died abo. 1865; Jacob, who died in childhood; James W.; Abraham, now working in the car-shops at Port Huron; Sarah, Mrs. Walter Miller, of Wiarton; Isaac, a teamster of Croswell, this state; Samuel, a resident of Hamilton, Ontario; Isadore, a Canadian farmer; Charles, who died in infancy; and Joseph M., now of Cincinnati. James W. Markham was born in Waterloo, Canada, April 29, 1847, and remained upon his father's homestead until eighteen years of age. His services were needed in the farm management, and as there were no schools convenient, his education was decidedly neglected. When in his nineteenth year he started out for himself and worked on a farm, after which he spent two years learning the brick-making trade. In 1868 he came to this state, and for a time worked in the lumber woods near Croswell. During this time he made some brick, and later put up a machine for the manufacture of this article at Benzonia. After operating the machine for a period, he looked about him for a favorable situation, and settled upon Traverse City as the best for his purposes. Her he made the acquaintance of Perry Hannah...For the first year his retail sales amounted to only about five thousand brick, but now he annually retails over half a million. His works have an annual output of abo. four million. May 12, 1875, Mr. Markham was united in marriage with Sarah Ann Smurthwaite at Port Huron. Her parents, Thomas and Lavinia Smurthwaite, were natives of England and Nova Scotia, respectively, and the former has reached his seventy-third, and the latter her sixty-ninth, year. Their eldest son, William, is deceased. Thomas makes his home in Manistee; Jane is Mrs. Elno E. Parrott, of Illinois; Mary is the wife of William Tucker, of Sand Beach, Mich.; Joseph and James are deceased; and Lavinia is the wife of I. D. Lane, of Sand Beach. In the management of his business, Mr. Markham has been greatly assisted by his wife, who is a companion and helpmate in every sense. She keeps the books of the concerns, makes the financial calculations, and is his private secretary. In politics Mr. Markham is identified with the Republican party, and socially he is a Mason of the Seventh Degree."

"John was Evangelical and both went to the North Woolwich Evangelical Church, where they are both buried. There was originally a driving shed beside the church for the protection of horses in inclement weather behind which they were buried. Their stones were moved over to the Sandhills side road where the old Baptist cemetery was, and the stones were placed there to give them a home. The driving shed has been torn down and they are now under a parking lot, as the bodies were considered as not removable. The church building has been renovated and the building sold several times."

"Let there always be a song…a song down in your heart…"
On Wednesday afternoon, with family at his side, Jack Pearse - the "Great Chief" and Coach 'Emeritus'; the consummate song-leader, bridge-builder, camper, counsellor, father, and friend - passed peacefully away at Grand River Hospital.
A London newspaper once held a contest centred on the question: What is the shortest way to London. The winning answer? The shortest way to London is good company. For 64 years, Jack was the best company and treasured friend and soul-mate to wife Helen Pearse (nee Hulse). With deep devotion and love he taught his four children - Patsy, Judy, John, and Mike (Tia) - to BE good company. How sadly and sorely we miss his good and cherished company, now…
Proud and loving grandpa to Meghan (John Tambling) and Amanda Pearse, and Christopher, Tyler, and Carson Pearse; beloved little brother to Shirley-Ann Darrach-Pearse and brother-in-law to Phyllis Harper (nee Hulse), Jack's good company spread to his entire family, touching and inspiring us all.
Jack once wrote - in song: "We can make a difference, you and I; we can make a difference, if we try." There is little question that Jack made an immeasurable difference in the lives of an equally immeasurable number of children, students, and leaders the world over. His revolutionary philosophies of teaching, coaching, leadership, and life have been cemented in books and articles, and in the hearts and minds of all those whom he has touched and led, just as they were foundational to the success of the Charlottetown YMCA Camp and Camp On-da-da-Waks, both of which he directed; and continue to be foundational to the success of: the Department of Recreation and Leisure studies at the University of Waterloo, which he co-founded; the University of Waterloo Golf Team, which he coached beginning in 1968 and for which he was inducted into the U of W Sports Hall of Fame; the Ontario Camps Association, the Canadian Camping Association, and the American Association of Independent Camps, of which he served as President all; the American Camps Association; the International Camping Fellowship, which he co-founded and for which he was the longest-running Chair, and, of course - his greatest passion and, perhaps, greatest legacy - Camp Tawingo, which he co-founded, owned, and directed for 42 years beginning in 1961.
A song-leading legend, Jack recorded three collections of camp songs, co-authored 10 books on camp songs, program, and leadership, and led singing to 100s of 1000s of delighted children and adults on virtually every continent.
Fittingly there are awards of excellence and endowment funds in his name in the Canadian Camping Association, the U of W Golf organization and Golf Association of Canada, and at Camp Tawingo.
We do not teach the reef knot, we teach the camper; we do not teach the principles of rec. leadership, we teach the student; we do not teach how to chip and putt, we teach the golfer… and if we make the camper, the student, the golfer our focus, the skill will surely follow: so believed Jack Pearse, and - right up to the moment of his passing - so did he inspire others to believe the same…others whom he always made feel happier, stronger, wiser, and more capable in his good company…others whom he consciously and carefully put at the centre of everything he thought, spoke, and did. What a gift to us all…and to generations to come.
Friends are invited to share their memories of Jack with his family during visitation at the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo, on Wednesday August 28, 2013 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. and Thursday from 2-4 p.m. A private family committal and burial will take place at Parkview Cemetery. A Celebration of Jack's Life will be held at Camp Tawingo in Huntsville on Sunday, September 15 from 1-3 p.m., with a reception to follow at Camp (www.tawingo.net).
Condolences for the family and donations to the Camp Tawingo Campership Fund or the Jack Pearse Warrior Golf Endowment Fund may be arranged through the funeral home at www.erbgood.com or 519.745.8445. | Pearse, John "Jack" (I227831)

Mother Bereaved Twice In Few Days
News Of Death of Last Surviving Member of Family Held Back For Fear of Too Great a Shock
The two last surviving children of Mrs. Jane Christman's family of seven children, passed away within several days of each other. Word was received this week of the death and burial of her son Philip H. Christman at Denver, Colorado, following a paralytic stroke. He was widely known in mercantile circles there. Mrs. Christman was informed of the son's death this week. Word of the death of her daughter, Agnes Christman, who was well-known in town, reached here on Tuesday but was not passed on to Mrs. Christman immediately for fear that news of the deaths of her last two children within such a short time of each other and so sudden would be too much.
The funeral service of Miss Agnes Christman was held at 10: 30 Thursday morning from the Dreisinger Funeral home. Interment was made in the family plot, in Elmira. Rev. J. Ure Stewart conducted the funeral services.
The account of the death of Philip Christman as recorded in a Denver paper was as follows:
Mr. Christman was born in Elmira, Ontario, on March 22, 1876. He came to Denver, 27 years ago and had lived here since. He was a member of Masonic Lodge, No. 84 A.F. and A.M. He is survived by his wife and a daughter of Denver, his mother, Mrs. Jane Christman, and a sister, Agnes of Elmira. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday after at the Olinger Mortuary, Speer boulevard and Sherman street. Burial will be in Fairmount Cemetery."
The death of Miss Agnes Christman took place at the Old People's Home in Kitchener. Deceased was born in Elmira on Sept. 13, 1872. Her death followed a short illness of flu which later developed into pneumonia. On Monday she expressed a wish to have her mother come to see her, but owing to Mrs. Christman's age, which is nearly 90, it was thought advisable for her not to go.

JAMES G. WATSON ANSWERS LAST CALL
Old and Respected Resident Passed Away Sunday, After Lingering Illness
Although not unexpected, the death of James Gibb Watson, which occurred on Sunday about noon time came as a distinct shock to the whole community. Deceased, who was in his 74th year, had been ailing for [near] a year with a disease which gradually sap[p]ed his strength, until death released him.
His presence will be much missed by a host of friends and acquaintances, who always found in him a good friend, with many sterling qualities and a never-failing cheerfulness of manner, coupled with a ready wit.
Deceased was born near Glasgow, Scotland, and when 10 years of age came to Canada with his parents, settling in Hamilton. Here he learned the trade of moulding with his father. After living in Hamilton for about 8 years he resided in Galt for a short time and then came on to Ayr. He here went into the late James Somerville's printing office to learn the printing, going from this place to Simcoe and then to Otterville [?], finishing his trade in the office of the late John Sanfield McDonald.
For quite a number of years he then travelled through the United States working at his trade. when the Civil War broke out he joined the Northern army, becoming a member of the 12th New York Cavalry. During the war he was in many important battles and had the good fortune to come out unscratched, with the exception of 2 sight wounds.
He arrived back in Ayr shortly before the Fenian Raid took place and during that stirring period joined the local company as Lieutenant. His company received orders to mobilize at New Hamburg which they did, but at the end of two weeks were ordered back to Ayr; the Fenians having been defeated.
He started the Ayr Herald in 1867, and published a splendid paper for two or three years when he disposed of his plant. From then until when he started a grocery store on Stanley Street, he was connected with the John Watson Mfg. co. for the greater part of his time.
He was the oldest Oddfellow in this district, having completed nearly 10 years of Oddfellowship, and was the second D.D.G.M. to be elected for this district. In politics he was a Liberal of the old school and in religion a Presbyterian.
In 1867, he married Sarah Bishop who survives him. He is also survived by three daughters and two sons who are: Mrs. Geo. Hamilton, Toronto: Mrs. R. Harmer, Ayr: Mrs. E.S. Strachan, Winnipeg, and A.G. Watson, Ayr and W.D. Watson, Camrose, Alta. One brother Wm. A. Watson of Moosejaw, and one sister, Mrs. R. Chisholm of Ayr also survive.
The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon and was attended by practically everyone in the village and a goodly number from the country. Both the Watson and Hilborn factories closed down for the afternoon, as well as most of the stores during the hours of the funeral. Members of Dolman Lodge, I.O.O.F., to the number of 35 or 40, accompanied by D.D.G.M. Aver of Paris attended the funeral in a body and marched with the cortege to the cemetery. The services were in charge of Rev. J.J. Brown, assisted by Rev. Dr. Thomson and Rev. S. Edwards. The pall bearers were: Messrs John Anderson, W.A. Ramsay, C. McGeorge, C.K. Morton, R. Gemmell and R. Cuthbertson.
