TE | In Port Perry, on the 8th inst. Reuben Crandell, Esq.,, aged 77 years and four months, +The funeral took place on Sunday, 11th inst, pa The funeral "procession which was lirge and highly respectable marched J from the late residence of the deceased to the Church of the Ascension, Port Perry. The Church was filled to its utmost capacity but could not nearly accommodate all that were at the funeral. The excellent and talented incumbent, Rev. Mr. Johnson, offici- ated, reading the beautiful and in- structive lessons that church uses on such occasions--the 39th Psalm and 16th Ch. of 1st Cor. The Rev. Gentleman's manner is it once pleasant and agreeable, attrac- tive and forcible, and the beautiful lessons, read in Mr. Johnson's style were unusually impressive, solemn. After the reading of the lesson the worthy pastor addressed the congrega tion on the solemnity of the occasion and the important lessons which it is calculated to convey; the uses which should be made of funeral ceremonies, and the duties they are designed to teach the performance of which they cannot fail in securing if engaged in a proper spirit. The very large con- gregation,-though much inconvenienc- ed from over crowding gave the worthy pastor their earnest undivided attention throughout and could scare- ly fail in being the better for what they heard. Deceased was emphatically the first and almost the last of the: Reach pioneers..- He was born in Saratoga County, York State, in 1797. Losing his father when only four years old. When nine years old he moved with his mother and step-father to Canada settling at the Bay of Quinte. As he advanced to early manhood vigourous health,ba powerful body and active mind led him early to cut out a path for himself in life. He removed to Haldimand and soon married her who had been his partner through many struggles, hardships and .privations incident to the life of the early set- tlers, but also a sharer of his brighter days of ease, comfort and peaceful competence till some four years ago she passed away and left him to finish the remainder of the journey alone. In these early times the deceased lived by his axe and the sturdy trees trembled and fell on every hand under his powerful strokes. The timbers of Fort Henry were then got out by him. Early in May, 1821, with his wife and one child (Elmer) he left Haldimand intending to go to a property which he owned to-the north-west of this, but instead of going by the only route then open his natural daring and force of character induced him to cut out a path for himself and he actually cut his way through the forest from Oshawa to near Prince Albert and be- ing pleased with the appearance of the township of Reach he purchased 200 acres now occupied by the Messrs. F. and A. Graham, between Prince Albert and Manchester, giving 50 cents an acre for the land--this was towards the end of Mga, 1821.-- He 'was the only white settler in the township at that time and the nearest white settler was Mr. Plank of Uxbridge and a; Mr. Wylie in the 7th con, of Whitby. The house erected by the deceased on the Graham farm still stands and though nothing compared with the magnifi- cent farm buildings of these days would have few equals as comfortable residence in_those early days. De- ceased's ringing axe was the first to sound and lead the way in clearing the naw long and familiarly travelled Reach to the confines of Brock. He resided on his first purchase .some fifteen years--cleared some 105 acres of it when he rented it and purchased the farm he resided till his death. This farm contained 200 acres and was bought at $1 per acre. This would be about 1832, At that time what was afterwards known as Borelia had no existance and there was only an Indian path to what is now Port Perry. Soon the powerful arm of the deceased be- gan to nfake itself felt in his new location; the stately forest had to give way before the hand of :industry, and untamed nature with the wild animals of the wood must fall back as the car of civilization advanced, pushed on as it was by the indefatigable efforts of the new settler, Mr .Crandell, and his now rising family. Soon an opening was made within which might nestle the germ of whit was to form not far distant one of the most properous, en- terprising settlements in the province, and which now as the township of Reach has few equals and still fewer superiors in the province. The village which arose around the immediate settlement of the deceased for many years bore the name of Crandell's Corners and even to this day the older Simcoe Street through the township of Funeral Service of the First White Settler of Reach Township settlers in the back country still call it by that name. However, a number of years ago, by the choice of the deceased and his family the name was changed to Borelia, a name which it still retains notwithstanding its in- corporation into and absorption by Port Perry, The numerous vicisitudes the seasons of prosperity and the ad- verse times which fall the lot of all villages struggling for a name dnd existance as a eommercial centre never appeared to shake his faith in' the future prosperity of the village and he lived. to sée the village take a. pro- minent place in the front ranks of the most "prosperous commercial centres in the province, . . . During two years of his indis- position he hod been a faithful and de- voted student of his Bible and a con- sistent member of the Apostolic church. He had twelve children born to him, seven sons and five daughteys, all of whom with the exception of one daughter survive him. (The copy of the "Observer" was loaned to us by Mr. Joe Dowson, of Scugog Island, and was a found among other papers of his great-grandfather, Richard Davey, a Scugog pioneer.)
