• Notes

  An old resident of the village of New Hamburg passed away on Friday in the person of Mr. John Allchin. Deceased was in his 89th year. He had the position of Division Court Clerk for many years, but resigned some years ago owing to advancing years. He leaves four children viz.: Mrs. Helmer of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. H. R. D. Brown of Toronto; and two daughters at home. The funeral was held on Monday at 2 p. m., to St. George's Church New Hamburg and thence to St. James Church Cemetery Huror Road. Wellesley Maple Leaf Apr 23 1903 pg 3 __________ ALLCHIN, Jno. - Was born in Merton, Surrey, England, in 1814. Died at New Hamburg in 1903. He came to Canada in the early days and located near New Dundee, where he farmed until 1855. In 1847 he was married to Miss Ann Smith, sister of Mrs. W. R. Plum. Mrs. Allchin was for years a confirmed invalid. In 1855 they retired from farming and removed to New Hamburg where they resided until their decease. Mr. Allchin was for 50 years Clerk of the 4th Division Court of the County of Waterloo and we understand was the senior official of this order in the Province at the time of his resignation. A perusal of the sketch of St. George's Church shows his intense interest in religious matters, to all of which he gave a most generous support. The surviving members of the family are Minnie H., Toronto, Ellie, Mrs. Helmer, Lincoln, Neb., Adelaide A., Mrs. H. R. D. Brown, Toronto, and Cassandra, Lincoln. Neb.
