• Notes

  John Detweiler," the eldest in family, was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, January 1st, 1805. He was married to Nancy Dodge. They resided at Port Elgin, Ontario, where he died some years ago. His family consisted of ten children" 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. _________________ Roseville THE GLOBE HOTEL. This old landmark is now occupied as a residence by the venerable Jacob Clemens, who for 25 years conducted it as a tavern. Mr Clemens is now over seventy years of age and is full of interesting reminiscences of Roseville's early days. Nelson Newcombe and John Detweiler, whose remains were consigned to the clay years ago, were among the first landlords of this tavern. The bar traffic of that day was something enormous and it was not an unusual event to see twenty sturdy countrymen step up to the counter and take their toddy on the expenditure of a quarter by one of the crowd. The gesuine old sourmast then could be purchased for eighteen cents per gallon. Teamsters from Washington, Ayr, Galt, Berlin, Waterloo and other points were frequent patrons of the bar. Alas! modern development has changed all this! Here in the good old days of yore, where friend met friend and hilarity and joviality predominated, is now the quiet and peaceful private abode of the venerable owner and his family.
