    Notes:

    Edmund Wollis was born at Barnoldby-Beck, near Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, on January 27th, 1823. In the year 1844 he came to Canada and for about two years worked in the townships of Darlington and Pickering. One morning in the spring time of 1846 he landed in Elora and then walked to Winterbourne to see the land in Waterloo County, of which he had heard. The river road through the long woods was only chopped out to about half its proper width, the logs forming the corduroy road were floating about in the many swamps, while, from the James Ross farm at the 'big bend' to the 'big ridge,' a distance of more than three miles, was without a clearing on either side of the road. Mr. Wollis soon took up his farm on the east side of the river road, at the 'little ridge.' To the south of him was Thomas Adsett's farm, while across the road from Adset, on the west,. was Richard Moreill and opposite to Mr. Wollis was, a little later, Stephen Webster. Each of these made clearings on the corners of their farms adjoining, so, that, as Mr. Wollis says, "they soon let daylight in."

    Mr. Wollis was married in August, 1855, to Jane Mackie, whose parents had come to Winterbourne, from Aberdeenshire, in October, 1837. Of their family: Margaret married John Elsley and lives near Mt. Forest; Mary died in September, 1900; George married Esther Gillies, near Mt. Forest; Annie married Samuel Burnett, lives near Listowel; Edmund married Alice Kirkness and lives near Mt. Forest; Elizabeth married William Glennie, lives in Eramosa, and Sarah, living with her parents, who, a few years ago, retired and now live in their comfortable home on the Elora and Salem road.
