• Notes

  MARTIN, GEORGE Death of an Old Settler. At the residence of his daughter, Mrs. John Paddock in Puslinch, on Friday, November 14, 1890, aged 77 years, 9 months and 20 days. Mr. Martin came to Canada from the town of Exeter, Devonshire, England thirty-five years ago with his late wife, whose death occurred last spring. They settled first in Wellesley Township, which was then nearly all bush, where he resided for some five years, then coming to Puslinch, moving onto the Lamont farm, at present owned and occupied by John Bond. After living on this farm a few years, he removed to the one at present owned by Mr. E. Eagle on the shore of Puslinch Lake, removing from there to a farm of the late Charles Siegle. From there, he removed to Hespeler, where he resided until the death of his wife, when he took up residence with his daughter. Mr Martin was possessed of a kind and cheerful disposition, having a kind word for all, consequently he had many friends. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. He leaves four children, Mrs. John Paddock of Puslinch; George Martin, J. P. of Hespeler; Thomas Martin of Holyoke, Massachusetts; and William Martin of Dunkirk, NY. The funeral on Sunday was very large. Rev. Dr. Cornish officiated.
