• Notes

  MR. WALTER BRYDON, whose shop was at the head of Main Street, and whose cheerful face and kindly countenance was so long seen beaming there ! He was born in Roxboroughshire, Scot land, in March, 1830, and was brought to Canada the same year. His parents settled on a farm in the Township of King, County of York. Here Mr. Brydon lived till the fall of 1847, when he came to Galt a lad of seventeen, and carried on the business of carriage building. He united with the church under the Rev. John James and continued in membership till his death on Nov. 30th, 1897. He was a man of highly benevolent disposition, always ready to help in time of trouble. He had a kind heart, full of tenderness and sympathy. He was very unselfish. He was an honorable man, and was a staunch friend. Mild in his nature, he would rather suffer wrong than resent it. Fond of music and the psalms of David, his soul was full of song. He was specially fond of the Word of God. He sought earnestly to live by it. He had a long and sore sickness that ended his earthly pilgrimage, and he bore it with Christian patience and fortitude. He waited in quietness without a murmur till his end came.
