'ijfa?h' It my interviews with the old pion- eers are as interesting to the readers of the CHRONICLE as they are to me in obtaining them the effort will not have been in vain. From a moral stand. point it can be easily admitted that they are calculated to accomplish much good, especially among the rising gen- eration. The subject is one in which there is much to cause them to pause for mature reflection, by asking them- selves the question, what mode of life have these veterans cf early days led that has enabled them to lay up plenty for the inevitable rainy day, and also reached advanced ages after years of hard toil and privations. It, was the regularity in their manner of living and a disinclination to adopt vicious habits that had more of a tendency to prolong their lives than anything else. They did not indulge to excess in the pleasures that to-day are dragging down to premature graves many of our young men. Yet, as long as the infirmities of age did not prevent them, they daily subjected themselves to physical exer- cise' in the way of hard work on their farms. They lived on a plain substantial dist, retired at regular hours and were not often in the habit of courting anything of an exciting character table to shock the nervous system. Although my letter this week does not contain the names of any who have have attained a very advanced age, there will appear a number in the one following, who are wonders of the old age limit. Arming those I have the pleasure to mention this week are as follows ', This venerable citizen, who was born October 7th, 1825, is the second offspring of the late Dwid Musselman, who was the first white man to cross the Conestogo river to the north in this section. He was a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and came to the banks of the Conestogo in 1819, on the farm where Mr. David Koch now resides. m died October 25, 1870, in the Slat year of his age. The mother was the daughter of Peter and Anna Martin. She was born in Lmeaster County, Pa., August 29, 1803, and died July 31ar, 1872. They had thir- teen children. The subject of this sketch was born October 7, 1825, and was joined in matrimony to Miss E imbeth, daughter of Christian and Magdalena Snider, in 1847. The latter was born April 2, 1829. Ever since they were married they have been residing where they now live, and are the parents of eleven chil» dren. Mr. Musselmen’s farm is part of the old tract first purchased by his father and contains 232 acres, being lot 42 Here he settled in 1847, and where he and his wife have incessantly labored until a few years ago they rested from their labors to enjoy the fruits thereof in the latter years of their lives. Mr, Musselman is now in his seventy-third year, and while, on account of rheumatic sffrtctiotr, he is debuted from performing heavy labor, can walk all over his farm without experiencing much fatigue. Like many others of his clms he has experienced the rough side of life as well as the smooth. Go to the old Lichty homestead on a pleasant day and you will invariably find this veteran of pioneer days mov- ing about outside. He is now in the seventy-ninth year of his age and is yet physically strong, but has also retired from active farm work. m is oi Swiss extraction, his grandparents hating emigrated from Switzerland to Pennsylvania some time prior to 1760 He was the firsst of a family of ten chil. dren,stirst seeing the light on May 10, 1819. He has always worked on the farm and it is likely that he will end his days on the farm where he has labored so many years. He was mar- ried in 1841 and is the father of five children. His son in-law, Henry M. Martin, who was married to the daugh Mr Nsncy, lives in an adjoining portion of the old homestead and has charge of the farm. The subject of this sketch came to this section from Pennsylvania with his parents in 1822, they being among the first families to settle here. The present farm contains 1821 acres and is in a fine state of cultivation. Mr. Martin the son-in-law, is a son of the late Henry Martin, who was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, ON THE UGNESTQEO ’ AND THE GRAND.

GEORGE LrCWTY. Canadian Block Ont February 16,1794, and died June 8/ 1853. Selina, the daughter of the former, is married to Ephraim Betzner, who also lives at the old homestead. All live in harmony and peace together, each one doing his or her share towards making the work on a large farm an easy task, a feature not always the case where three families are domiciled beneath one roof. The old gentleman says he has used tobacco since he was twenty~one years of age, but has been temperate so far as alcoholic stimulants are concerned. Adjoining the Lichty estate is the fine farm of SOLOMON KOCH. Here is quite an enterprising young farmer and one who takes a deep inter- est in whatever he undertakes on the farm. He is the eldest son of Daniel Koch, of whom he has the farm leased. It was on this farm that his grand- father, the Rev. Ludwig Koch,lived and died, and who cut down the iirst tree on the place. Mrs Koch is a daughter of Jonas Snider, near Bloom- ingdale. They have now two interest. ing little children. The farm contains 156 acres and is one among the most fertile in this section and has abtrm dance of pure spring water the year round, Last year Mr. Koch produced 2,800 bushels of grain and seventy loads of hay, and since January last sold thirty-four head fat hogs. la the lat- ter line he makes a specxalty, having on hand frequently as high as fifty or seventy five head. He has also turned out quite a number of splendid export cattle the past season. Last season he purchased a large engine and thresher of the latest improved type from the Waterloo Manufacturing Co , which is capable of threshing out six bushels of grain per minute it a test is neces- sary. The dust eradication is one of its valuable features, which carries the duet oat beyond the stack, leaving the Interior of the barn almost entirely tree from disagreeable effects in this respect. Mr, Koch is also an admirer of fine horses and when he undertakes to iit up a team for the prize ring he usually succeeds in carrying off the first premium, as he has on several occasions taken a number of first prizes He is now fitting up a span of blacks, both splendid animals. It will be in the nature of a surprise to me if there is anything in this section that will beat them for a general carriage or hearse team. He has a Standone bred mare from Loraine that is a fine animal, and has also a pacer that is capable of covering a mile in less than three minutes. In looking Over his stack I also noticed quite a number of Shropshire sheep. Mr. Koch is a mem- ber of the Farmers' Institute, and a director of the Elmira Agricultural Society. He will not be found in the background when encouragement is necessary for anything that may be introduced which has for its purpose the benefiting/d the farmers and the and the community in general. A short chat with him will convince any one that; he is deeply interested in everything pertaining to good farming. DANIEL B. WEBER. "m This gentleman is another one of our successful farmers, but he is not by any means inclined to boast of that fact himself, he being of a modest, unassuming disposition, and a man who does not court newspaper notoriety. He was born about thirtrrre years ago on the farm he now occupies, lot No. 32 and about one mile south of the village of Conestoga. The f arm contains 200 acres and is a very choice body of land. His father, Eias Weber, came here about ferty-eight years ago. The latter was born December o, 1828, and on March 19, 1850, he was joined in marriage to Susanab, daughter of Jacob Bricker. She was born October 22, 1826. The union was blessed with three children. The mother died about a year ago, but the father is sstill hale and hearty and still lives a retired life at the old homestead, having given the farm over to his son, the subject of this sketch, several years ago. The latter was married to Mary Ann, daughter of Elias Martin, December 27, 1887. They have three children The junior Weber is at present one of the township school trustees, and he would undoubtedly be elected to a higher municipal position were he inclined to come oat for election. He has been thoroughly successful as a farmer and annually produces large crops of hay and grain. Daring the past season be has turned out twenty- six head of very fine export; cattle. The general outward appearance of this place indicates good taste and that it is conducted by experienced hands. Here is a. familiar character in this section. He was born on the old Eby I?rnestetul v, (How the. property of homestead (now the property of William Seheide and where the latter lives), on July 31, 1831. He has lived in the vicinity of Conestogo all his life excepting two years that he was work- ing at his trade in Markham. He learned the pottery trade with his father, the late Samuel Eby in Water- loo, years before he had reached matur- ity. At that time Waterloo contained only one store kept by Daniel Snider. He also recollects the time when not a building stood upon the present site of Conestoga His father was familiarly known as "Potter Sam" to distinguish him from other relations of the same name. Another was called “Indian Sam," he being a popular trader among the Indians. The subject of my sketch was married, when twenty two years of age, in 1853, to Susxnnah Detweiler, who was born August 8, 1832 They had nine children. He is of Swiss descent, his grandfather, the late George Eby, coming from Pennsytvania to Canada, where his father, Samuel M.'Eby, was born is 1805. Mr. Eby has been a resident of Conestogo for about forty years. Here he has con- ducted his pottery and tilled his small farm of ten acres. He is an expert mechanic in his trade and can turn out almost anything in the pottery line, has now on hand quitea number of fiae specimens of his handiwork, and dir poses of a large amount of his work in WILLIAM K. EBY. the course of a year. His memory is remarkably keen and he is not averse to imparting information regarding the early days of this tsection to an inter- ested listener. DAVID STAUFFER. C While in Conestogo last week I was afforded an opportunity of meeting this venerable citizen. Mr. Shautfer was born in Chester County, Penrs‘yvania, in 1813, being now in the 85th year of his age. Hts general appearance and unimpared mind and body would lead one to believe that he had not yet reached the sixties. He came to Can- ada about tortreight years ago, and recollects when Berlin had only one mercantile establishment, then kept by one Fred Miller, and Jake and John Hoffman were about to open another. He has lived in Conestogo twenty-three years, living a retired life with his wife, who is now in her 78h year. Mr, Staraffer claims no relationship with the numerous family of Stauffers in Waterloo County, though his ancestors are of the-same nationality and espouse the same religious faith. I have yet to see the person who has lived eighty- fivre years who can show less marks of an advanced age than Mr. Btauifer. He is a. record breaker, and no mistake. In my next letter Winterbourne and tte oldest cit zer s w1ll be my subject. I believe tlfs village takes the lead in the county for old people.
