  1. 1.  Peter Cairns Picken was born 1834, , Scotland; died 7 Aug 1877, Hespeler (Cambridge), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada.

    Other Events:

    • Eby ID Number: Waterloo-26730
    • Residence: 1856, Hespeler (Cambridge), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada
    • Occupation: 1861, Hespeler (Cambridge), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; Shoemaker
    • Residence: 1861, Hespeler (Cambridge), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; United Presbyterian
    • Occupation: 1871, Hespeler (Cambridge), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; Shoemaker

    Notes:

    John Picken, Native of Scotland, a shoemaker, appears to have plied his trade here from June 2nd, 1855, until the year 1864. When he came he brought along two sons. Alex, who in 1858 was Secretary of the Hespeler Fire Brigade at the age of 21, and Peter C., borne in 1832. Both boys learned the shoemaking from their father.

    Alex worked at it here only a short time, while Peter C. continued on till 1874. He married a daughter of Henry and Ellen Fields who lived where the new Baptist Church stands. Peter C. lived next place south on Bergey Street in a house sometimes spoken of as "The Hadfield House". His two sons, Alex. and Henry, were born in this house, the former on November 14th, 1857. "Sandy" as we called him was the father of William and Arthur; Arthur's eldest boy, Jack, clerks in Mark Kohli's Grocery Store which fact presents the unusual spectacle of two boys, both fifth generation Hespelerites, working daily side by side and even though the Grocery and the Shoemaking trades are in no wise related, it may be pardoned if I set down that David W. Panabaker is of the fifth generation here, Robert Scott certainly of the fourth and possibly of the fifth and that both these men are grocers.
