1084	From Ezra Eby's Book Moses Springer, "If there is a self-made, self-educated man in the town of Berlin, that man is our worthy sheriff, Mr. Moses Springer, who never had a year's schooling in his life, but was left an orphan at ten years of age and thrown entirely upon his own resources. He was a son of Benjamin Springer, merchant and afterwards farmer, and Mary Rykeman, a prominent member of the Mennonite Church, and was born in the township and county of Waterloo, Ontario, (Near Blair on the farm lately owned by Deacon John Z. Detweiler) August 24th, 1824. His father was born near Poughkeepsie, New York, and died of cholera in Blenheim Township, Oxford County, Ontario, August 16th, 1834, and his mother died of the same dreaded disease, August 30th, 1834. His great-great-grandfather, Charles Christopher Springer, a native of Holland, an ordained bishop, was sent to Stockholm, Sweden, where he was created a baron and where Mr. Springer's great-grandfather first saw the light of day. After being well advanced in his studies the younger Mr. Springer (the younger Mr. Springer was a Liberal and never had the least desire to associate with the nobility, hence his desire to come to America and associate with his countrymen who had settled in Delaware, then called New Sweden) was sent to London, England, to complete his theological studies. After having completed the same, he, without the consent of his parents, crossed the ocean and came to Wilmington, Delaware, (He, although the son of a Baron, worked for his passage across the ocean) where he built the first church, a stone structure which is still standing, and preached there for a number of years. The grandfather of our Sheriff, Rev. David Springer, was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and was also educated for the ministry of the Episcopal Church. He was a loyalist during the revolutionary troubles and while stationed near Poughkeepsie, New York, he was shot in his own yard soon after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. He was married to Margaret Oliver,(She was of aristocratic parentage. Her mother died when she was born and after she arrived at the age of maturity she was married to a nobleman and three months after their marriage the bloody persecutions of Paris broke out. She and her husband left in disguise for America. After being out on a voyage for several days, he returned with a homeward bound vessel, promising to meet her in America after the restoration of peace, but this was the last of him. It is supposed that he lost is life during the civil disturbances. The wife continued her journey and came to Poughkeepsie, New York, where she purchased a large tract of land with the money willed to her by her father) a native of Paris, France, and had a family of nine children. Soon after her husband's death, the widow with her family left Poughkeepsie, New York, and emigrated to the wilds of Canada and finally settled in Hamilton, Ontario, where she died. One of her sons, Benjamin, as already stated, settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, and finally in Oxford County, where he died. As good luck would have it Mr. Springer (Sheriff) early fell into the hands of a Mennonite, afterwards a minister and bishop, Joseph Hagey, a noble-souled man, by whom he was raised. Not satisfied with the little knowledge he had picked up at odd intervals in public school, he was proffered gratuitous aid by an honest and kind-hearted Scotchman, William Collins, to give him night lessons. Mr. Springer farmed until he was twenty years of age, taught school off and on for seven years, was for a number of years engaged in surveying, subsequently was a general merchant and latterly has been engaged in the conveyancing, insurance and general business. He assisted in establishing the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Company and was its president for seven years. In 1852 he was appointed a magistrate for the town (then only a village) of Waterloo and was elected first Reeve for the said town in 1857 which position he held for fifteen years, and when Waterloo was incorporated as a town in 1876, he was elected the first mayor and re-elected the next year without opposition and afterwards retired. Nobody took more interest in the progress and general welfare of Waterloo than Mr. Springer or has done more solid work in its municipality and that of the county. He has been secretary and treasurer of the North Waterloo Agricultural Society for twenty-four years, and was a member of the board of directors of the Agricultural Mutual Insurance Co. of London, Ontario, for about eighteen years. In 1867 he was elected to the Ontario Assembly for the N. R. of the county of Waterloo and represented that constituency until 1881 when he received the appointment of sheriff of the county, which appointment he still holds. Mr. Springer is a Reformer in politics and while the representative of North Waterloo he gave good satisfaction to his constituency. Shortly after being appointed sheriff he moved to Berlin where he now resides. Mr. Springer is, we believe, no member of any church, but cherishes a warm regard for the Mennonites. He is well disposed, in fact, towards all christian people and very generous in support of churches and sabbath schools. In 1845 he was married to Barbara, daughter of Joseph and Catharine (Schneider) Shantz. She was born August 11th, 1825, and died October 13th, 1884. In 1890 he was again married to Sophia, widow of the late D. Bowman, Barrister, of Hamilton, and daughter of the late Henry Beasley, many years treasurer of the county of Wentworth, Ontario, and a grand-daughter of the late Col. Beasley, a member of the first parliament of Canada. Mr. Springer's family consists of the following children, viz:"	Springer, Moses (I13508)

Andrew was a teamster engaged by the Williams Brothers Mill (located where the Zurich fire hall and P.U.C. office stand today). Two trips per day to Hensall, for the salary of $1, helped Andrew raise his family. After Andrew's wife, Katie, died in 1942, he lived with his son, George and daughter-in-law, Ellen. Great-Grandpa Andrew was a kind, tall gentleman with a large moustache. Living with his family was a most amicable arrangement.

1088	From Hay Township Highlights 1995 DEICHERT - Peter II and Elizabeth Peter Deichert II (b. 1863), was the third child of Peter Deichert I and his wife Lisetta Bauer. The family lived in Zurich near the blacksmith shop owned and operated by Peter I (d. 1865), and his brother John. After Peter I's death, Lisetta married Peter Rothermel, who bought the N1/2 of S1/2 Lot 27, Con. 9 (25 acres) in 1868 from John Clausius. The family lived in a house on this farm. In 1871, Peter Rothermel bought the N1/2 of the same lot, 50 acres, from the Canada Company. The two parcels of land were bought by Peter Deichert in 1885 from his stepfather. Henry Pfaff had bought S1/2 of Lot 28, Con. 9 from the Canada Company in 1877. Ten years later he sold this parcel of land to Peter Deichert II. This is where Peter and his wife, Elizabeth Bloch (daughter of Henry Bloch and Anna Albrecht) settled after their marriage in 1888. The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1938. Peter (d. 1944) and Elizabeth (d. 1946) had a family of 12 children, ten of whom survived childhood (one child was stillborn and Herbert died at the age of two).......	Deichert, Peter II (I17956)

1097	From http://www.clarksoftomfad.ca/BeaverFamilyofPuslinchTownship.htm October 22, 2006 PHILLIP BEAVER - 2nd son of Peter Beaver (I) Phillip was the second son of Peter Beaver (I) and as far as I have been able to ascertain was born in Alsace in 1811. He was about 21 years of age when he came to Puslinch Township with his parents and was given lot 26, of which he cleared 40 acres. When they came from Toronto, he brought a team of horses with him and these were the first horses in Puslinch. It is said that he was a great horseman, and so, it is ironical that his death was caused as a result of a kick from a horse. He married Christina Preszcator, born 1823, died 1916. They had 4 children. 1. Mary Beaver who married Andrew Triebner. I have been unable to trace any record of Mary to date. 2. Phillip Beaver, born 1841 3. Peter Beaver III, born 1842 4. Christian Beaver, born Jan. 23, 1847 In 1846, at age 35, Phillip Beaver was leading his horses to drink, when they reared, one kicking him in the stomach. He died 3 days later. Phillip's brother, Nicholas (I), then farmed the land until his nephews were of age. At the Registry Office in Guelph, I learned that Peter Beaver, the elder, received lot 26 from the Crown on 7 Nov. 1850. About 1849, Christina married Diebold Stahl. He came from Morriston in 1851 on horseback and purchased lot 8, concession 6, Stephen Township, just south of Crediton, from the Canada Company for 66 pounds. Christina followed and they had 8 children. Diebold died in 1901, age 81 and they are both buried in the Crediton Cemetery.	Beaver, Phillip (I10347)
1098	From http://www.clarksoftomfad.ca/BeaverFamilyofPuslinchTownship.htm October 22, 2006 Phillip was born in Puslinch in 1841. As he was 5 years old when his father was killed, he most likely spent his early years on the Stahl farm south of Crediton with his mother and her second husband. He married Elizabeth Mast who was born in 1843 and died Jan. 14, 1913. They farmed lot 20, on the south boundary of Hay, 1+ miles east of Dashwood. Phillip died in 1930. Their 8 children are listed below, but not necessarily according to age.	Beaver, Philip (I00381)

1100	From http://www.region.waterloo.on.ca JOSEPH "JOSH" WAYPER 1858-1915 A resident of Hespeler for forty years, Josh Wayper was a marksman of uncanny ability. He was proprietor of the Queen's Hotel in which his numerous trophies and stuffed animals were on display for the public to see. He was co-founder of the Hespeler Gun Club which was formed in 1883 and was active for many years. In 1896, the Hespeler four man team led by Wayper won the Ontario Championship, breaking 94 out of 100 clay pigeons. In 1901 Wayper was champion wing-shot of Canada, killing 199 out of 200 live pigeons to equal the World's Record for this type of competition. In trapshooting, Wayper was three times Canadian champion. He also won the championship gold medal for Ontario several times. On one occasion he was a member of the Canadian team which went to England for the Bisley competition. In the course of his career, Wayper won a great many lesser events as well.
