The Ceremonies which we all have long looked forward to have now taken place and the City of Berlin is an accomplished fact. I am sure that in this wide Dominion there can be found no city of its size which has so many people singing its praises, upholding its integrity and showing their loyalty than the good people of Berlin, whether they are Natives or Citizens by Adoption. I congratulate you on becoming residents of a city at this Midnight Hour and hope that this event may ever be a pleasant Reminiscence. Berlin is now the youngest City in the Dominion, but by no means the smallest or least important. As a Town it has long taken the lead in many matters of Importance and has indeed by its unbounded Energy and Industriousness made a Name for itself. Now that the Town of Berlin has been created into the City of Berlin, its Growth and Stability will undoubtedly increase rapidly and I hope that the new Era in its History will produce only good Results. I trust that our Citizens will remain loyal to a greater Berlin and that Contentment and Prosperity may be their Reward. My sincere Wish is that God may bless and protect the City of Berlin.

Cawston (1849-1923) Richard Lowe Cawston, pioneer rancher of the Cawston district, and for whom the town of Cawston, B.C., is named, arrived in Osoyoos from Stratford, Ontario, in 1874. Cawston remained foreman at the Haynes Ranch for the next ten years. In 1883, a smallpox epidemic, to which the Natives were susceptible, spread over the province. Cawston, because of the absence of a medical practitioner, vaccinated the Natives in great numbers with the vaccine that was sent from Victoria. In 1884, Cawston entered into a ranch partnership with Mrs. Ella Lowe. They purchased the "R" (F. Richter) ranch near Keremeos. The ranch comprised over 5000 acres of crown granted land, together with extensive leased ranges. The ranch prospered and cattle numbered as high as 2000 head.

811	Found at http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4977461-diary-of-a-great-war-soldier/ on November 10, 2014 Dated Nov 07, 2014 Diary of a Great War soldier Kitchener soldier?s diary traces war from sailing for England to armistice Waterloo Region Record By Jeff Outhit Shelled at crossroads 2 dead one minus a leg. War is HELL. ? Pte. Ivan Bowman, June 23, 1917, Belgium. Ivan Bowman inhaled poison gas and dodged German shells on the Western Front. He slept in barns and trenches. He foraged battlefields to save the wounded. He kept a daily diary. Almost a century later, it still has a four-leaf clover pressed between its fading pages. Bowman enlisted at 19 in Berlin (now Kitchener). He marched in ill-fitting boots, drank, gambled, played tourist and chased girls. He battled lice. He played clarinet, with little talent but all his heart, to cheer on troops. Let's see the First World War as he did. Getting there Bowman sailed for England on Jan. 26, 1917. Some unspeakable sad feeling prevails on seeing dear Canada grow dimmer and finally disappear ? A soldier died on the crossing. All stood to attention to watch the body slip into the ocean. The body was wrapped in canvas and draped with the Union Jack while a heavy sack of coal was fastened to its feet. In England, Bowman trained for three months. The country about is very beautiful and picturesque while the public house where we had a glass of bitter all with the emphasis on the bitter was worthwhile looking into, with its sawdust on the floor and pretty barmaids ? Fourteen weeks is the time allowed for a fighting course after which one is supposed to be a capable & efficient hun exterminator. At the front In May 1917 Bowman joined the 1st infantry battalion in Belgium. Medical concerns restricted him to labour duties. Worked on trench 1000 yds from front line Fritz shelled us a little coming & shelled road near trench. Feet sore as hell. The war touched him on July 27, 1917. Sat outside entrance & got some gas. made me sick. fast heart, headache faint & weak. In August 1917 he carried food to soldiers battling near craters at St. Eloi, after the Allies exploded mines beneath German trenches. On ration party to crater in day. Many dead lying all over ? To front line carry back wounded. Dead numerous. In October 1917, Bowman joined the battalion's musical band, which played to build morale. On Nov. 6, 1917, the 1st battalion attacked at Passchendaele, in Belgium. Bowman named fallen comrades from home. Among them ? Henry Looker, George Millard, Gordon Stauffer, Harry Delion, and Sheldon Uffelmann. Later he named James Willis and Arthur Hall. In January 1918, Bowman was feeling unwell. My wind is a bit better, am undecided whether the gas interfered with it ? Feel very sick. May be gas ? Seem to have got some gas as my throat & lungs are all hard, coughing [spitting] spells. Bad news from home Bowman learned that his father Reuben was dead in February 1918. The news took a month to reach him. Now that he has gone I realize how much he means to me ? Feel awful and had several spells of tears ? Try to be strong. Death is awful in ones own family & oh the terrible time dear mother & sisters must have ? I can't get over it. He was a good man. Would that I had his sterling qualities ? This is hard when one is so far away. How I wish I could be some comfort to my mother. Buildup at the front In March 1918 Bowman visited Britain on leave, just as the Germans launched a major offensive. They had rather an exciting time since our departure & we couldn't have left at a more opportune time. After starting strongly, the German offensive faltered. Canadian troops saw little action. Troops are optimistic about future & confident that Jerry cannot trample us under ? The Cans must be in for something big considering the length of time they have been out of the line ? Our corps movements are secret & speculation is ripe. Final 100 days Canada attacked on Aug. 8, 1918. Bowman played for troops while they marched to the front. Traffic enormous. Many Germans coming down. Prisoner cages full & some sad wounded cases. Complete success report says ? Beautiful weather continues & we still have him on the run ? His dead machine guns lying about show that we had a stiff time to overcome these obstacles who died for the Vaterland. Bowman named more local soldiers who died. Among them ? John Bissett, Ira Diefenbacher, Earle Lavery, and Daniel Desmond. They dwindle quickly ? Many ghastly sights meet the eye. In October 1918 Bowman carried a stretcher to collect the wounded. The 1st of October was a disastrous day for this bn (battalion). The advance of 6 kilos was successfully accomplished but a retirement had to be made owing to three main supports being inactive viz. aeroplanes artillery & left flank. The casualties numbered about 250. Canadians liberated French towns as the Germans retreated. Bowman played for a church parade at a town named Vred. Town hasn't seen allied band since 1914. Enthusiastic reception by delighted populace. People cry on hearing La Marseillaise. Bouquets given to bandmaster ? War news is wonderful & at last we know that our peace is coming. Peace at last The Great War ended on Nov. 11, 1918. Gen Currie inspects 1st bde (brigade) & announces the wonderful news. Hostilities cease at 11 AM when the Boche accepted our terms of armistice. Very little demonstration. Some firing of flares. Bowman crossed into Germany weeks later. German people treat us very good. They are all war weary & one & all delighted that the nightmare has at last come to an end ? Discharged in 1919, Bowman returned to Francis Street North in Kitchener. By 1921, he was an electrician earning $1,800 a year. Later he worked at a financial business. He died in 1968, father of three, grandfather of two. jouthit@therecord.com ------------------------------------------------	Bowman, Ivan (I14259)

818	Found on Amaranth Township's website at http://www.amaranth-eastgary.ca/ta/history_sime.htm on Jan 30, 2006 Sime Family History Written by Mrs. Harold Sime Shelburne, Ontario 8 Families Thomas Sime born in Scotland in 1817 and his wife Jane Moir born in Scotland in 1814 immigrated to Canada. His trade was stone masonry. I have not yet established for sure where they came from in Scotland. Some say from near the Firth of Forth. The Sime families belonged to the Fraser Clan in Scotland and the Moirs to the Gordon Clan, According the History books the name Sime originated from the name Simon Fraser and there are many different ways of spelling. My own name was Emily Darling Fraser and I married Harold Sime. My grandparents also immigrated to Canada, also my great grandparents about the same time as the Simes. They came from Dunkeld, Scotland and worked at stone masonry also. They settled in Proton Township in 1860 I don't know the exact date the Simes arrived in Canada but according to family records the eldest son Peter was born in Montreal in 1845. Thomas born in 1846. John in 1849 and Robert born in Montreal August 16, 1851. They came to East Luther Township, Dufferin County in 1854 and settled on Lot 25 Concession One. They had four other children, George who died from an accident in 1912. Mary born in 1857, Jane 1868 and William 1860. They were all pioneer farmers in East Luther except William who settled in Amaranth Township. Peter later to Melancthon For more information on the history of East Luther refer to "100 years along the Grand" by Esther Graham who has been of great assistance in compiling this family tree. Also the story of Dufferin - Into the High County by Adelaide Leitch. For the history of Amaranth "The roots of Amaranth" by Elizabeth Anne Keeling, although it does not mention the Wm. Sime Family, it tells of the neighborhood, and how the pioneers lived. The Wm. Sime family attended Blacks Corners Presbyterian Church and Wm. was a trustee when Amaranth College was built. He also had a share in the Edgar telephone line. Family Tree Thomas Sime & Jane Moir Sixth Son William m.
