• Notes

  Thomas Smith, a son of Capt. Smith, made a clearing on a farm west of the river road and opposite to the one that has long been known as the Millard farm. He sold his clearing to his brother-in-law, Emanuel Gaukel, and with his family, went to live in the township of Beverly. Emanuel Gaukel was his right name but he was oftener called Mongowgkil. He was a son of Frederick Gaukel, who came from Wurtemburg, Germany, to Berlin, and for some years he had a hotel, where now the Walper House stands. Emanuel Gaukel married Mary Smith and came to live on the farm upon which his wife's brother, Thomas Smith, had made a clearing. Mongowgkil was a large man, an auctioneer and a constable. At one time he had a saw mill near West Montrose. When the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway was opened through to Southampton he went there. He had a saw mill and kept the post office at an Indian village called Chippewa Hill, about two miles from Southampton. Here Emanuel Gaukel died about October, 1893, and Mary, his wife, on March 18th, 1887, of their family: Frederick married Alma Meisener and lived between Lynden and Jerseyville; Washington married Jessie Glennie, he was drowned at Port Elgin on October 25th, 1874 at the age of twenty two; Elizabeth was married to Hiram McKay and now lives near Port Elgin; Zuby (Azubah) married Ira Kilborn, a Methodist Minister, and went to Iowa; Polly (Mary) was married to William Douglas and is now in Chicago.

The deceased was one of the earliest pioneers in this vicinity. He was the oldest son of Mr. J. [F.] Gaukel who owned the first hotel in Berlin. At the age of eighteen, he with a few others located in this vicinity in 1828 A.D. after some time he settled down on the farm where W. Bushart lives at present. In 1870 he sold the farm and bought a sawmill in this village; in 1874 he moved the machinery to Mohawk Hill Bruce Co, after his bodily strength decreased he spent the latter days with his son-in-law Mr. Hiram McKay of Port Elgin at which place he sank to rest at the age of 85 years.
