• Notes

  John Huber, "the second son in the family, was born December 22nd, 1814. He was married to Catharine Schlichter who was born August 3rd, 1823, and died June 12th, 1886. They resided on the farm which he cleared himself. It was lot No. 4, 12th Concession, Blenheim Township, Oxford County, Ontario, where he is still having his home. To them were born eleven children. Samuel and Jacob, the eldest two, died aged one day." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ________________________ Another or Blenheim's Pioneers Passes Away., John S. Huber died at his residence on Lot 4, Concession 12, Blenheim, on Thursday, April 2nd. Mr. Huber was born In Lancaster Co., Pa., in the year 1821. At the age of seven, he came to Canada with his parents, who settled on what is now known as Park House, a short distance from Preston, in Waterloo Co. Here he lived with his parents until 1846, when he came to Blenheim Tp. and started for himself, in the then unbroken forest. The following year he built a house. In the same year he was married to Catharine Schlichter. In their efforts to carve out for themselves a home in the wilderness, Mr. and Mrs Huber had a great many difficulties to contend with. They had to endure many hardships and privations, and put up with many inconveniences entirely unknown to young people of the present day. In their farming operations they were more than ordinarily successful, and in 1872 they gave up the active work of the farm, and retired. They had a family of nine daughters, seven of whom are still living. After a happy married life of 45 years, Mrs. Huber was called away on June 12th, 1886, since which Mr. Huber has lived with one of his daughters on the old homestead. He was honest and straight forward in all his dealings, and was trusted and respected by all with whom he came in contact In his business and social life. He was a staunch, life-long Reformer, and in religion was of the Mennonite persuasion. His decease was brought on by an attack of la grippe, which, coupled with the weakness of old age, caused his death, after an illness of about two weeks. He reached the ripe old age of 81 years, and was hale and hearty to within a short time of his death. The funeral took place on Sunday, April 5th. at 1 p.m. Followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends, his remains were taken to the Blenheim cemetery. and there interred. He leaves behind him two sisters, seven children thirty-nine grand children, and four great grand children. His sisters are Mrs. Nancy Bergey, of Caledonia, Mich., and Mrs. Fanny Shoemaker, of Highgate. His children still living are Nancy Bowman, of Blair, Mrs. Jesse Clemens, of Roseville ; Mrs. D. H. Clemens, who resides on the old homestead, , Fanny Huber, who lived with her father . Mrs, Isaac McNally, of Blair Mrs. Isaiah Hilborn, of Pilkington, and Mrs. D. K. Erb, of Sebringvllle.
