• Notes

  Leah Souder, "was born July 20th, 1866. She was married to Charles Chisholm, a woollen manufacturer. They resided in the state of Maine, U. S., where she died September 1st, 1891, leaving one son named William." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ___________ SAD. The sudden taking away of Mrs. C. H. Chisholm, a former well-known resident of Hespeler, was a shock to all the friends of the family. The sad event took place at Pittsfield, Missouri, U. S., last Thursday of typhoid fever, leaving a very young child. The remains were brought here for interment. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Geo. Haigh. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Chisholm in his affliction. Her parents with their friends from Dundalk, Ont., were all present at the funeral, which was largely attended by Hespeler people. Sep 10, 1891 - Guelph Mercury
