849	Found on Feb 28, 2005 at http://douglas.boddy.com/genealogy/hallman/canada/children.htm Veronica Hallman, was born May 14th, 1814, and died January 9th, 1894. She was married to William Hunsberger April 15th, 1834. After their marriage they moved on the lot lying next to the old "Grody Farm," north-west of the Schmidt Mennonite Meeting House, Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, where they commenced in the woods. They remained there until in the spring of 1836, when they purchased a farm of about 150 acres one mile west of New Dundee. Here they resided until their deaths. The earliest recollections of this dear old aunt by the writer (Rev. H.L. Hallman), are her kind words with which she always welcomed us as children to her home. She always had something to give to the children to make them happy. It was like going to one's own mother to come to her for comfort and advice. Strictly moral and upright in her life, she sought to teach her family according to her own convictions. Her admonitions to her own and others were always of a religious nature. Many a happy day did the writer spend at their home when a boy. They were both members of the Tunker (River Brethren) Church. He died March 2nd, 1895. They had a family of ten children.	Hallman, Veronica (I02540)

858	From "Pioneers of the Similkameen" by Verna B. Cawston. The Okanagan Historical Society - 1949 In December, 1884, R.L. went back to visit his people in Stratford. There he met Mary Ann Pearson and -- after returning to B.C. in February, 1885 -- he made a second trip to Ontario for their marriage in October of that year. Mrs. Cawston was born near Sebringville, Ontario, on March 9, 1952. Her father, John Pearson, came as a lad from Kent, England, in 1841. His people rented the old sawmill in Sebringville, which later became the site of the Pearson home from which Mary Ann was married. Her mother, Margaret Kelly, was born in Londonderry, Ireland. In c. 1845 her parents brought their family to Canada and settled on an uncleared farm near Kinkora. At the age of seventeen Margaret married John Pearson and they in turn took up the task of making home and happiness on a small bush farm near Sebringville. Here nine children were born to them, but only three daughters lived past infancy. In later years the Pearsons moved into the village and their family home still stands on Black Street, by the old Huron Road. The journey of Richard Lowe Cawston and his petite, blue-eyed bride from Ontario to the Similkameen was indeed an adventure. They travelled by train, stage and horseback for more than three weeks, with everyone who met Mrs. Cawston so interesting and kind to her. When Mr. and Mrs. Cawston arrived at their new home it was only natural that they should continue in the way of pioneers, full of resourceful courage and warm-hearted hospitality. Four sons were born to them. The eldest, John Pearson (1886-1936), born with Dr. J. Chip of Vernon in attendance, was the first white child born in Keremeos. He was baptized at home by Rev. Harlock. Richard Lowe (Dick) was born at Keremeos and baptized in Osoyoos by Canon Cooper. The third son, George Beauchamp, was born in Sebringville, Ont., in 1889. He died in active service on November 14, 1917. Alfred Hamilton (Gint) was born in Keremeos and was the first (to the writer's knowledge) child to be baptized in St. Savior's Anglican Church in Penticton.	Cawston, Richard Lowe (I36811)
859	From "Reuben Bowman, His Family" by Fred Bowman 1948 ELIAS B. BAUMANN , the twelfth child of Reverend Joseph, born in Berks County, Pa. on May 4th 1809. In 1816 he came to Canada with his parents and spent his boyhood days on his father’s farm near Blair. In 1829 he married Maria (Polly) Clemens, a daughter of Jacob and Susannah (Dierstien) Clemens. Soon after the marriage they moved to a farm near Breslau where they lived until 1863, when they sold the farm and moved to Kent County, Michigan, where he died on August 21sr 1875 at the age of sixty-six years, his wife surviving him by ten years. They had fourteen children, eight sons and six daughters whose names were Joseph, Jacob, Susannah, Wendel, Aaron, Maria, Leah, Isaac, Owen, Elias, Salome, Catherine, Nancy and Simon. It was during this generation that the spelling of the name was changed to Bowman.	Baumann / Bowman, Elias B. (I21414)
860	From "Reuben Bowman, His Family" by Fred Bowman 1948 JOSEPH BAUMANN, the youngest child of Christian, was born in Berks County on July 19th 1766. He was married to Mary Baer who was born on January 23rd 1772 and died on October 29 1842. They had a family of thirteen children, eight sons and five daughters, namely: Elizabeth, Salome, Jonathan, Mary, Christian, Joseph, John, Samuel, Judith, Leah, Wendel, Elias and Benjamin. In 1802 he was ordained a minister of the Mennonite Church. In 1816, he, with his family, moved to Canada and settled near Blair in what is now Waterloo County, Ontario. The writer recalls a story, often told by his father, of the Reverend Joseph being so certain of going to heaven, that, when questioned on the subject while seated at the dinner table and at the moment having a piece of meat on his fork, replied: “As sure as I am of eating this piece of meat, so sure am I of going to heaven.” At this moment his hand slipped, the meat fell to the floor and was promptly eaten by the cat. The Reverend Joseph, nevertheless, was very highly respected in the community as a deeply religious and sincere member of the church. He died on January 19th 1849 at the age of seventy-six years, his wife having predeceased him by six years.	Baumann, Joseph (I17067)
