• Notes

  (I remember talking to my old friend Alex (Sandy) Imlay about the early history of the church and mentioning the fact that Mr. Mitchell was an elder of the Auld Kirk. Sandy at once protested, saying he belonged to the other party. I quietly said that I was speaking of a time when there was no other party'). A Few notes on the early history of Chalmer's Church, Winterbourne. Waterloo Historical Society Annual Volume ________________ Alexander was the custodian for St. Andrews Hall and Chalmer Presbyterian Church Nan Jones email 2012 ______________________ James Davidson came to Winterbourne in 1834, from Aberdeen where he had been engaged in the cotton manufacturing. He was born at Walthamstow, Essex, England, on the 31st of March 1776. His wife was Elspet Blackhall, born at Aberdeen in 1777. The family lived in a log house on the same lot as that upon which now stands the Rev. A. M. Hamilton's residence. This was known as Lower Woolwich post office while the Davidson's had it, and old Captain Smith carried the mail twice a week from Preston. The log house was pulled down about the year 1860 by our old friend Sandy Imlay, who is now living in Winterbourne. The Early History of Elora, Ontario, and Vicinity by John R. Connon _____________________ Winterbourne - Death of Aged Resident - An old and respected resident, in the person of Alexander Imlay, passed quietly away on Wednesday morning, October 4, 1911, to the great beyond, after a brief illness of six months, from heart disease. He complained but very little until the last few weeks, when he was obliged to give up his contract as caretaker of Chalmer's Church; St. Andrew's Hall and the Public School. He had attained the advanced age of 74 years and six months. Mrs. Imlay predeceased him three years and six months. He leaves four children, three daughters and one son, Mrs. Brinkert in Michigan, US, Mrs. Wilson in California, Mrs. Laing in British Columbia, and John in Oregon, US. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late residence to the Public Cemetery. Rev. A.M. Hamilton officiated. The Berlin Daily Telegraph Sat 14 Oct 1911
