oObit*

4 May 1910

On 4 May 1910 the obituary of James Wallace read: Mr. James Wallace, father of Reeve Henry Wallace of Middleton, one of the old settlers of that township, died on Friday, April 22nd, at Wyecombe, in the 86th year of his age.
He was ill but a few days and death was the result of the physical functions having run their life course, leaving the spirit in its freedom to pursue its destiny elsewhere. His suffering was of short duration and its end the sleep of peace.
James Wallace was born near Whitfield, in the County of Armagh, Ireland, on July 10th, 1824, and when nine years of age his father emigrated from Ireland to Canada, settling in the County of Halton.
When 24 years of age, young Wallace came west and was satisfied in the selection of the old homestead location in Middleton, which his sons Henry, since his father retired from his industry and toil and settled in Wyecombe for a well earned rest, has continued to make more promising for profit.
In 1853 Mr. Wallace went back on a visit to Ireland and on the ocean on his return fell into a friendship with Miss Jane Simpson, coming out to Canada also, which ended in a marriage settlement for both on young Wallace's farm in Middleton.
Four children were born from this union, two of whom, Henry and James, survive the death of two sisters, and also the death of their mother in 1861.
The second home companion of Mr. Wallace was Miss Ann Mabee, who died, leaving two sons and two daughters, three of whom are living in the Western States, the remaining one, Mary, being married to Mr. Colin Blake, of Lyon's Corners, Elgin County.
In May, 1890, Mr. Wallace united in marriage with Miss Susannah Brown, of Malahide, who survives his companionship in a lonely widowhood.
Politically, Mr. Wallace was a life long Conservative, and in the early times when partyism ran high with much feeling and a chip on the shoulder, he was not one to let a cause drop for want of support.
He was for sixty-five years an enthusiastic Irish Orangeman, and in religion an adherent of the Methodist communion. The funeral services took place on Sunday, April 24th, at Wyecombe, the Rev. Mr. McArthur, of Lynedoch, officiating, many life long friends and relatives attending in sad respect to this aged man's final departure.²

(Witness) oObit

16 May 1889

George Henry Mabee was mentioned in the obituary of Elizabeth Ann Mabee on 16 May 1889; Unexpected death – It falls to our lot this week to chronicle the unexpected death of Miss Libbie Mabee, daughter of Mr. G. H. Mabee, of Middleton, who was taken ill on Thursday night of last week, with an attack of inflamation of the bowels, and in spite of all that loving hands and medical skills could do, died at the residence of Mrs. Van Norman , on Saturday evening, she not being able, after taking ill to be removed to her home. She was loved by all who knew her, and a great deal of sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents, whose cup of sorrow it seems has been filled to the brim, for of six children only one boy of about 18 years remains. A large concourse of people gathered at the house on Monday, and followed the remains to their last resting place, in the Goshen cemetery. On Monday, while Mr. And Mrs. Mabee, were in town, making preparations for the funeral of their daughter, a tenant house on his farm in Middleton, took fire and was burned to the ground. At the residence of Mrs. H. VanNorman, Ridout St., Tillsonburg, on Saturday evening, the 4th inst., of peritonitis, Libbie Mabee, of Middleton [died], aged 19 years, 6 months and 20 days.¹⁰
