• Notes

  On Tuesday morning Mr. Robert Barber, sr., was called to his rest after a short illness and will be buried at St. James' cemetery, Huron road, today (Friday) at 2 p.m. Mr. Barber was one of our old residents and much respected, having resided in this neighborhood for over fifty years. To the widow and family we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their sad hour of trial.

First settled at Little York, near Toronto, till 1842, when he moved up to Wilmot, walking the entire distance, landing in Strasburg the first night and finishing the journey the next day. He took up the farm now owned by Levi Master. The first $200 he had saved up to pay on it was stolen.
