  • Notes 
    • Joseph Stork.

      There are none now living in this vicinity who are more popularly known than the subject of this sketch. Mr. Stork was born on a farm below Galt, in 1843. He comes from English ancestry, his father and mother being natives of Yorkshire, England. They came to this country when Joseph was twelve years of age. From the time he was old enough to work, until seventeen years of age, he worked on the farm, when he commenced to learn the shoemaking trade. About fifteen years ago he abandoned the latter trade and engaged in the mercantile business. He started out in life with a capital of twenty-five cents, but he practiced economy and persevered until success crowned his efforts; to-day he could retire with ample means to enable him to live in comfort and ease the remainder of his days. He, however, continues to carry on the general mercantile business, and when he feels like it will do odd jobs in his shoe shop adjoining his store. He is also the owner of a farm containing ninety-nine acres, a short distance north of the village, and which is now occupied by his son Walter. In 1864, at the age of twenty-one years, Mr. Stork was married to Elizabeth Goodwin. They have had ten children; five are living and five have died. He is an uncompromising Reformer and a member of the Methodist church. Since he was old enough to commit to memory the local events of his neighborhood there have not been many things occur which he cannot vividly recall to day. To him I am indebted for much of my information regarding the early days of Winterbourne.
