Funeral services were held Monday at the Vang Free Lutheran church for Seward Peterson, prominent pioneer resident of Hope township, who passed away Saturday morning, September 2, 1944, at his home.

Hanson of Minneapolis at the home and at the church. Pall-bearers who carried the remains to the grave in the Vang cemetery were Edwin, Lawrence, Lester and Leonard Peterson, Ole K. Olson and Ernest Olson. Seward, son of Olaf and Karen Peterson, was born February 11, 1863, in Norway. He emigrated with his parents in 1870.

In the earliest years, Mr. Peterson was widely known as an outstanding community builder. Besides his own farming operations he always found time to be of help to his neighbors and community. As a very capable butcher, for many years he did practically all of the farm butchering in the community. His brother Adolph, since deceased, and he were among the earliest custom threshers. Mr. Peterson was considered one of the best steam engineers in the area and was issued a state engineer's license for 26 seasons. He operated a lumber mill on the Big Pembina river for a number of years and served often as an auctioneer. Despite his countless activities, he found time for a wild life hobby and through it became an outstanding authority on wild game animals and birds. Always civic minded, he served his township in practically every official capacity. As a pioneer justice of the peace for 24 years, he presided at countless hearings and justice court trails. He served on the district school board for 30 years and as a township supervisor for nine years. Testifying to his civic service and the high regard in which he was held, the Hope township board this week issued the following statement. "We take this means to express our sincere regrets upon the passing of our esteemed and faithful friend, Seward Peterson, who served so many years on the Hope school and township boards. We extend our sympathy to Mrs. Peterson and her family."

1131	From Robert P. Reid Luella had married Charlie Gossman, from the Dashwood area, brother of Banker's. They moved around frequently before they ended up in Port Huron where he worked for the railroad. They farmed on the Babylon of Stanley Township for a time (Harold Dowson property). Bud and Charlotte talked about finding old receipts for things bought when they farmed. They also went west with Leonard and Tillie but apparently did not care for that. Their children were Vera, [...]. Charlie had a yen for building also. Vera and [...] were born in Canada. Vera was born in Dashwood. [...] was born in Varna in 1923. They moved to Port Huron in 1924 were they remained. Charlotte was born here in 1930. Charlie died in 1962 and Luella in 1989.	Family: Charles Gossman / Luella Margaret Wurm (F1808)
1132	From Robert P. Reid "Herb was the first of the family to go west about 1914. He would be 17. At one time Herb told Emma that he wished his father had moved out there as he thought is was such a great place to live. Luella was upset when he left home but she got over it. Emma was only about nine at the time, and since Herb was always teasing her, maybe she did not care so much. He ended up in Saskatchewan where he settled in 1914. Herb remained there until he got his army call. This would likely be 1918. When he came home his Mother wanted to hide him under the small log house. It had been dug out but Herb would hear none of that. Herb had difficulty with the many needles that they had to be given. John Decker saw him in London and when he told Louis he had tears in his eyes because it was such a pitiful sight. His face was black and blue from falling on it when he would pass out from the sight of the needle. The war was over before he was to be sent overseas. Herb sent Emma a card to have his horse in the stable when he came home. She had and he took off for the Bend. Herb and Emma were both married in 1922. Herb and his wife, Rosalie Phaff went to Detroit for the winter. They came home to the Phaff farm. She died in August of 1923 when a little girl was born. They are both in the Zurich Lutheran Cemetery. Herb stayed with his Dad, a widower by this time, but soon headed West again as Leonard and wife Tillie Vincent (of Dashwood) were already out there. Herb took up land near Lethbridge, Alberta where he build a shack (all that was necessary). He rented the land out as he worked as a carpenter. He was still there when Emma, Henry, Margaret and Alvin went out west in 1949. The women stayed in the shack and the men stayed elsewhere. Probably in town as they were great lovers of pool and snooker. (Emma's words). After a few days they headed on to meet Brother Leonard." ....."When the oil boom hit Drayton Valley, Herb sold his farm and moved up there to work as a carpenter. It was there that he met Betsy (his second wife)."	Wurm, Herbert Frederick (I07303)
1133	From Robert P. Reid Arnold had gone to Detroit where he drove an ice wagon. He later moved to Sebewaing and did carpentry work. His wife, Katherine (Katie) Wagner had come from there. It was here that he lost his arm when it was crushed in an accident because he had it out the open window of the truck. They had several children - Marian, Helma, Louis (lived nine months), [...], Ruby and [...]. They moved to Florida from here to the New Port Ritchie area. Arnold died Nov. 13, 1962 and is buried in New Port Ritchie. Aunt Katie lived until October 3, 1970. She is buried in Michigan.	Wurm, Arnold Martin (I07300)
1134	From Robert P. Reid Leonard had gone west a couple of times on the Harvest Excursion before he settled out there. Once he met brother Arnold on the same train. Charlie and Luella moved out to Clearwater, B.C. with them but they did not stay. Leonard worked at a saw mill in Clearwater, B.C. They never returned East. They had a son Norman, buried here before they left. Out there Albert, Louis, Laurine and Leona were born. Leonard died in 1959, 68 years old.	Wurm, Leonard Peter (I07299)
1135	From Robert P. Reid Louis Wurm had married Elizabetha Rupp in 1890 in St. Peter's Lutheran Church. She was born in St. Jacob's, a daughter of Heinrich Rupp and Louisa Rau. She was working in the Huron Hotel (now Dominion) at that time owned by Mr. Hopple. Louis and family lived on the N.W. corner of Frederich and Rosalie Street. He worked out by the day and had a cider press. Their children - Leonard (1891 - 1959) Clearwater, B.C.; Arnold (1892 - 1962) Tampa, Florida; Alvin (1894 - 1968) Exeter, Ontario; Luella (1896 - 1989) Port Huron, Michigan; Herbert (1897 - 1891) Entwhistle, Alberta, were all born in town. By the time their youngest child came along in 1905, Louis had taken over his father's farm, Lot 19, Con.11, Hay at the south edge of Zurich. He moved his cider press across the road. Louis sold the farm in 1936 to Ferd Haberer. He lived in different places for a time, passing away in 1946. His last home had been a little house near the Catholic Church. It had been enlarged by Harry Bedard. His wife had predeceased him in 1922. They are buried in the Zurich Lutheran Cemetery. During Louis' day the farm south of the village had an excellent maple bush. A picture shows them boiling the sap in large kettles. After Louis sold the farm to Ferd Haberer he was quite upset when Ferd had the bush logged. One could not blame Ferd as a bush does go past its prime. Also the bush had no sentimental value to Ferd.	Wurm, Ludwich "Louis" Henry (I07297)
1136	From Spalding Roots & Branches, Spalding & District Historical Society, 1981, p.294-5 ...had been a direct descendant of the United Empire Loyalists who had fled to Canada in 1773 when the thirteen British colonies, which later formed the United States of America, broke away from the British Empire. The Loyalists were forced to leave their homes and flee for their lives, for their American neighbors threatened to kill any person remaining loyal to Britain and her king.	Hutchison, David Wesley (I21186)
1137	From The Beaver Family of Puslinch Township By Edna (Beaver) Robertson 1969 http://www.clarksoftomfad.ca/BeaverFamilyofPuslinchTownship.htm NICHOLAS BEAVER (I) -3rd son of Peter Beaver (I) He was born Mar. 11, 1813 in Alsace and died in Morriston on Nov. 21, 1885, age 72 years, 8 months, 11 days. Coming from Toronto with his parents and family, he received lot 27, front concession 8. As Nicholas had fallen in love with a girl in New York State by the name of Charlotte Yantz, he went there in 1838 to be married. Charlotte was born on Jan. 19, 1815 in Wurttemburg, Germany and she was a sister of Peter Beaver’s first wife, Christina. From the early records of the Evangelical Church, we learn that Charlotte, prior to her marriage, was converted in New York State, by Mr. J. Harlacher. In 1840, Mr. Harlacher was sent as a missionary to Kitchener, where he was instrumental in starting the first church in that city. When he heard that his convert was so close, he went to visit her and found her out in the field with a child in her arms. This would be her daughter, Mary. She was so happy at meeting him again that she suggested that they hold an old fashioned prayer meeting in her home. Her two brothers-in-law, Philip and Peter rode out on horseback to inform their neighbours of the meeting and, at its close, a class of 45 members was formed. It was through her efforts that the Evangelical Church was organized at Morriston and, at her death, she was without doubt the member of longest standing in the Canada Conference. Nicholas cleared his farm and obtained the Crown Deed for it on June 28, 1851. The deed is written on fine parchment paper, is signed by Lord Elgin, Governor, and is in an excellent state of Preservation. He paid 81 pounds, 5 shillings for this property. When his brother, Phillip was killed, he also farmed lot 26 for 20 years until his nephews were of age. He also bought lot 15, concession 4 in Stephen Township from the Canada Company on Feb. 1, 1853 for 62 pounds, 10 shillings. This farm was rented to the Dearing family until his son Nicholas (II) went there in 1876. In religion he was Lutheran and in politics, Liberal. Charlotte and Nicholas had a log house for their first home. It was on the Guelph side of the driveway, had 4 rooms with plank floors and a cellar. While I do not know the exact date the present home was built, I do know that my grandfather was born in it in 1849. The basement was completed first and they lived in it until the upper part was built, as it was warmer than the log home. The basement is plastered and it is thought that when it was first used it had a fireplace. As the land was cleared, it being stony, the stones were put together in a separate field and are still there today. My grandfather used to tell us how he suffered with sore hands, caused from handling the stones. After Nicholas died, the farm went to his youngest son, Henry, who was the last of the Beaver family to live there. This past year, it was sold to new owners and the part on which the buildings are located has been leased to Mr. Williard Ferguson. The Fergusons have furnished the lovely old stone home with Canadiana and it is now known as “Ten Mile House”. They operate a business here and are engaged in the sale of paintings by Canadian artists. Charlotte spent her last years in Crediton, where she lived with her daughter, Lena. She passed away on Aug. 4, 1907, age 92 and is buried in the Crediton Cemetery. They had 8 children: 1. Mary Beaver, born Aug. 2, 1839 2. Charlotte Beaver, born Sept. 10, 1841 3. Christina Beaver, born Jan. 25, 1844 4. Magdalena Beaver, born Feb. 4, 1847 5. Nicholas Beaver, May 12, 1849 6. Lydia Beaver, Sept. 17, 1851 7. Louisa Beaver, born Apr. 6, 1855 8. Henry Beaver, born Feb. 4, 1858	Beaver, Nicolas (I10336)

1140	From the document dated July 1853 entitled "Bond Thomas Hastings to Sarah Hastings", the following is summarized. Sarah Hastings sold the farm comprising the East half of lot 30, concession 6, Markham Township to her son, Thomas Hastings. Thomas then promised that he would support his mother and that she could reside in the home for her remaining years. In addition, Thomas promised to pay his mother 50 pounds annually. Document was witnessed by William Hastings. From the "Deed of Bargain and Sale" dated July 8, 1853 widow Sarah Hastings sold 100 acres of land to son, Thomas for eight hundred pounds.
