After their marriage they resided for several years in Vaughan Township, then they moved to Puslinch Township, Wellington County, near Hespeler, Ontario, on the farm now possessed by Gottlieb Stunn. Here they resided until their deaths. He died June 22nd, 1887. To them was born a family of eight 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ________________ COBER, NICHOLAS Death of an Old Settler of Puslinch On Wednesday morning, 29th June 1887, Mr. Cober of Puslinch breathed his last, at the good age of 76 years. When he first came to this country a young man, this part of Waterloo and Puslinch was a vast forest and one or two houses were built. Guelph, Galt and Preston were but small hamlets. The nearest flour mill was at Dundas and was only visited once a year. He settled on his farm in Puslinch over thirty years ago and by his industry, he accumulated a large fortune. He leaves a large family of grown up children, one of whom, J. N. Cober, is in the firm of Cober & Bechtel of Hespeler. He was a Christian in every sense of the word. Although very quiet and unassuming, he cheered many a poor person's life with his liberality and was a liberal giver to all good objects. Mr. Cober will be very much missed, as he was a very courteous old gentleman, well beloved by all who knew him. His funeral took place on Friday afternoon and was one of the largest ever seen in Puslinch. His body was taken for interment to the Union Cemetery at the brick church on the third concession. Rev. Henders conducted the services. -Information from the death certificate: Born in Vaughan Township.
