    Notes:

    John Klarr later Clare, was born in Odenbach, Bavaria, Germany in 1823 and came to North America with his parents in 1834. The family first settled in Rochester, New York apprenticed in a foundry. In 1843 he arrived in Preston and in partnership he established a foundry with Jacob Beck and Valentine Wahn. The partnership dissolved in 1853 and he purchased the foundry previously operated by Erb and Guggisberg and made cast iron wood burning stoves, later building furnaces when central heating became available. He retired in 1881 sold his firm to his sons Frederick and George along with Henry C. Hilborn. He served on Preston council.

    ________________________

    John Clare, one of the oldest inhabitants of Preston, died on March 9th, of pneumonia, at the age of 64 years, 4 months, and 23 days. He was born in Odenbach, Rhine-Bavaria, came to America in 1834 as an 11 year-Old boy, first to Rochester, N.Y., later worked in an iron foundry in Hamilton, settled in Preston in 1844, where he carried on his business for 33 years.

    In 1845, he married Margaretha Beck from Weiler in Baden (Margaretha Beck von Weiler in Baden) and the peaceful marriage produced 10 children, 5 boys and 5 in 1880, a dreadful misfortune befell him, in that his left hand was torn off as he attempted to start up his machinery. As a result, he retired from business in 1881. He was a good family man, an industrious business-man, a loyal and active member of the lutheran church, and a capable official of the town of Preston, which he served for several years as councillor and reeve in the town council, and more recently, in the county council.

    ____________________________

    An enterprising young German came here [Preston] about 1838 by name of Mr. Jacob Beck. He had invented a peculiar kind of water-wheel, small in size but of great power, and its use in several small water powers gave young Mr. Beck quite a reputation. He commenced a small foundry near a saw-mill in the village of New Hope, and finding considerable encouragement came to Preston, where he erected a foundry upon the premises now owned by Peter E. Shantz in Fountain Street. Business increased rapidly, but unfortunately a fire broke out which completely destroyed his flourishing foundry and Mr. Beck, no insurance having been effected, stood once more poor and penniless; but, thanks to the liberality of his neighbors in and around Preston, a subscription was raised, men turned out to help with work and material and in a short time after the fire, Mr. Beck was again in possession of a foundry of considerably larger dimensions than the one destroyed by fire. He did an excellent business, and had men selling his stoves and other wares over a large part of Western Ontario. His means increased at a rapid rate, and he enlarged his premises according to the wants of his business. Some years later he took in as partners two of the young men in his employ, viz: John Clare and Valentine Wahn, and the foundry business continued to prosper for several years. Mr. Beck had in the meantime arranged with Mr. Robert Hunt of the Woolen Mills to improve his water power by heightening the dam and digging a canal from the dam alongside the (Speed River. This canal is still in existence except a small portion of its terminus which has recently been closed. Mr. Beck for the construction of the said canal obtained the privilege of erecting a saw-mill upon Mr. Hunt's premises. This saw-mill Mr. Beck carried on for some time but seeing that a grand scheme that he had in mind could not be carried out, he sold his sawmill to Messrs. Hunt & Elliott. This grand scheme was nothing less than extending the said canal, crossing King Street and Queen Street and erecting along the canal a number of factories and mills. The proprietor of the land positively refused to grant permission to construct such a canal and Mr. Beck was forced to abandon his cherished plan of making Preston a great manufacturing place, such as the Town of Galt is at the present day. Mr. Beck, notwithstanding the good business done in his foundry, became displeased with Preston. The partnership of Beck, Clare & Wahn was abruptly dissolved, the business closed and the affairs of the firm wound up. Each partner obtained his proper share of the assets, which were largely in excess of the liabilities, Mr. Clare a store and other property and Jacob Beck a large sum of money. He went in search of a mill property which he found in Wilmot. There he erected mills, foundry and other industries, and founded a village which he named Baden. The grist-mill built by him was the third grist-mill built with money earned in Preston.

    _______________________


    The family name of John Clare, an astute and forward-looking industrialist of Preston who came to Canada from Germany, was originally Klaar.

    In his late teens he learned the moulding trade in a foundry in Buffalo, NY, and in 1843 was hired by Jacob Beck of Preston. A short time later he became Beck's partner.

    In 1853 when the Great Western Railway was being built Beck said: "We must locate on the railway." Clare replied: "They will have to come to us eventually." Both proved to be right for the railway did go through Preston. Beck sold his interest in the flourishing firm which became John Clare and Company.

    Several sons succeeded him in the business, one of whom, George became a member of Parliament at Ottawa and a member of the Cabinet.

    Frederick Clare, President of Clare Brothers, in 82nd Year

    PRESTON, Jan. 14— Frederick Clare, president of Clare Brothers and Company, Limited, Preston and the Stamped and Enamel Limited, Hespeler, died suddenly early this morning at his Queen street home here. He had been in failing health for some time. The late Mr. Clare was in his 82nd year. One of Preston's leading citizens, the late Mr. Clare was at the time of his death, the oldest stove manufacturer in Canada. It was said recently that the Clare firm manufactures more furnaces than any other company in the British Empire, a tribute to the ingenuity of the late Mr. Clare who, with his brother, the late Hon. George A. Clare, founded the firm here in 1881. The deceased was also the prime mover in the establishment of the Hespeler company about 1912. With the late Mr. Clare the business in which his firm is engaged was his uppermost thought practically from the time the industry was started on a small scale until late years when he took a keen interest in its progress. He was always a regular attendant at his office, paying his last visit there ten days ago. Illness however, forced his retirement to his home and he appeared improved considerably even yesterday. He retired last night about 11.30 o'clock and passed away peacefully in his sleep during the early hours of this morning. Friendly associations with his employees were always one of the keynotes, to his success. The late Mr. Clare was an inspiration to all who knew him. His interest in his fellow-worker was an attachment that endeared him to all workers in the plant as evidenced at gatherings of Clare Brothers Benefit Society, a mutual aid organization which he helped to sponsor and of which he was honorary president. From a civic standpoint the deceased was a robust citizen. He believed that every capable man should assist in the operations of his community. To this end the deceased did civic service for many years, commencing public life first as an alderman, then as a reeve and in 1906, 1907 and 1908 the electorate voiced appreciation of his services by returning him as mayor. The late Mr. Clare was born in Preston and apart from a short time, some six months that he worked in Chicago, he lived here his full life. He received his education at the Preston public school and upon graduation he attended the famed Tassie Hall in Galt. A staunch Conseevative in politics, the deceased was also a member of the Oddfellows lodge. Besides his wife, who before her marriage was Isabella Stuart Cameron, there survive two sons, J. Stuart Clare of Preston and Frederick C. Clare at home and two daughters, Miss Elizabeth at home, and Mary, Mrs. George Moss, Blair. Two grandsons and two granddaughters also survive. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from the family residence, 231 Queen street, at 2.30 o'clock. Interment will be made in the Preston cemetery.

    Notes:

    I REMEMBER

    By O. A. KUMMER Long Time Resident of Preston

    EDITOR'S NOTE -This is the third in a series of articles being written for The Preston Reporter by long-time resident O. A. Kummer. Dealing with Preston's past, as Mr. Kummer remembers it, the article swill [sick] appear in these columns from time to time.


    BICYCLE MEETS used to be a popular pastime in the area; the Town of Preston had many of them.

    Riverside Park was usually the scene, and hundreds of cyclists attended.

    I remember one particular day when there seemed to be only one winner. It was none other than Herbert Clare.

    Two other noted cyclists from the area, who were famous for their long distance ability, were Ernie Evans and Albert Near.

    I REMEMBER when Preston was famous for its horse racing meets in Speed Park. as it was called then. Trotting and pacing races were held periodically, and usually attracted fine crowds.

    The track was noted as a fast one, and I can recall being in conversation with some of the horsemen. who said it "had a kind of bounce to it."

    This, no doubt, was because the base upon which the raceway rests is more liquid than solid.

    Preston horsemen included Perc Sauerson, Ed Perine, Blarrs Wilkes, J. Wetherall and H. Osgood.

    I CAN RECALL when Preston had very little in the way of fire protection for the village-mostly water from the Speed River and the Klotz Dam.

    A tank was constructed across from the Commercial Hotel to supply water and the pumping equipment consisted of a contraption resembling a railroad jigger upon with four men, two on each side, operated it in unison.

    I REMEMBER when W. A Husband lived in the cottage which stands on the opposite corner of our municipal complex, and when he was clerk of the village.

    He was also greatly interested in growing things and in horticulture in general.

    He had a beautiful vine growing upon the verandah posts. the most beautiful vine I have ever seen, and he also took delight in presenting the earliest flower in the spring to the local editor of The Preston Progress, Mr. Blackstock.
