• Notes

  From - Looking Backward by Robert Edwin Gunton, P. M., June 22nd 1933 Uncle Isaac told me that his brother Hiram went to New York when he was a young man, and on one of the occasions of his visit home, he wore a frock coat and silk hat. They appeared so conspicuous and attracted attention so much, that he felt embarassed to walk up the street with him. Hiram later married Mary Rosebough of New York. She was a refined and educated woman, and always claimed that she was a descendant of an aristocratic family in Denmark, which has been confirmed by members of her family. She had an abundance of silk and satin clothing of a quality and texture that lasted for years, and there was no one that I liked to see come and visit at our house as well as Aunt Mary. She was an excellent candy-maker and taught my mother how to make many kinds. Later in life her brother died in New York City and left her considerable money, enough to keep her in comfort for the rest of her life. She had one failing that followed her all through her life and was an indirect cause of her death. My Uncle Hiram was a blacksmith and had his shop on the south end of his property on the Simcoe and Port Dover Highway, near Charlie Brown's Hotel, sometimed called the Halfway House. This was before there were any railways in Norfolk County, and everything was teamed to and from Port Ryerse and Port Dover for shipment. I often went out to his place and it was not uncommon to see a dozen horses and vehicles in front of the shop waiting for shoeing or repairs.
