First Annual Report of the Waterloo Historical Society __________ Smith, John Sydney. - Was born at Brighton, Sussex, England, on October 15th, 1815, the eldest son of the late John Sydney Smith, who was surgeon to the Tenth Hussars and served under Wellington in the Peninsular Campaign, having acted at times as surgeon to Wellington's staff. He came to Canada in the early Thirties and settled in Toronto and died there from Cholera in August, 1834, a sacrifice to his profession during an outbreak of that dread disease. Upon the death of his father, Mr. John Sydney Smith, the subject of this sketch, moved with his mother to the County of Waterloo, and some years after opened a general business at Haysville, where he resided until 1859, when he moved to Stratford with his family and died there in 1877. He married Annie Elizabeth, daughter of the late Daniel Tye, one of the early settlers in the Township of Wilmot. He left a family of six children, five of whom survive, namely: Albert Sydney Smith, mill owner, of Port Sydney, Muskoka, Edward Sydney Smith, Barrister, of Stratford, Annie Maria Mothersill, wife of Geo.
