Now the produse of the victory The Lady Next Door says she hears the Penned and Pilfered THE GRIMSBT TNDEPENDENT it. He I reprint here some valuable historical data that was given to me by the late Cyus 8. Nelles, over 30 years ago, which I believe will prove interesting to my readers at this time. The article regarding Col. Nelles, appeared in the St. Catharines Star on Oct. 19, 1896, ahortly atfâ€" er his death. The old deed refers to the property upon which are the tracks and sidings of the CN.R. and also the property upon which stands Marsh‘s lumber mill and upon which is now situated the staâ€" tion, freight sheds, yards and the flour and feed mill of Grimsby Fuel and Feed. Brief reference was made yesterday to the reâ€" moval of an old landmark in the person of the late Col. Nelles. In 1767, before the war of Independence, Henry William Nelles, son of old Hendrick William Nelles, the first of the name who came to America, feeling his German heart would not allow him to take up arms against Great Britain, decided to go to Canada and make a home for himself and family Accordingly, be with his sons, Robt., William, Jobn, Warner, Abram and Peter with five slaves, started in canses via Mohawk river, to Fort FPlain, from Creek and on into Oneida. Later, from there they commenced their long and arduous pourney by the Oswego river to Fort Oswego and on up Lake Onâ€" tario to the Niagara River, where they landed. They tested the soil here and finally pushed on to Grimsâ€" by, the father saying to the sons, "Here we shall make our home." After peace was declared, the American Government offered them their land back if they would return to the United States. All exâ€" cept Peter remained in Canada, His heart yearned for his old kome; so, leaving friends and kindred, he returned and claimed the lands left by his father and mother. ‘The old Palatine church, in New York State, which stands until this day, was built on land given by Hendrick William Nelles. The subject of this sketch, Col. Warner Henry Nelles of Grantham, who passed away Friday mornâ€" ing, Oct. 9,1806, at the advanced age of 97 years and five months, was a great g~andson of the above naimed Hendrick William Nelles. ‘The deceased was born in Haldimand county on May, 1799. He was educated at Grimsby by Fev. Mr. Fell; took his first commission as Lieutenant of the First Regiment of HMaldimand Militia in 1822, and said commission was signed by Sir Peregrine Maitiand. E# was made Captain of the First Regiment of Frontier Light Inâ€" fantry, a company he raise i himselt in two days in 1830. His commission was signed by Sir George Arthur. His last commission as Lieutenantâ€"Col. was signed by Sir Edmund W. Head in 1859. Apropos of the above, an anecdote which goes made from an egg.. That‘s something to prove the great phyrical powers of Col. Nelles, crow aboutâ€"well, cackle, anyway. ‘WAY BACK WHLN Framk Pairborn, Jr. The Cupboard Is Bare! The LCoal Bin Is Empty!!

"Oh! Then you came down by train," was the reâ€" mark of his host. "No." replied Mr. Nelles, "I am sorry to say I did not." "How on earth did you get here, then?" said fir, Alima. "Why," replied th Colonel, "% walked down, of course." * that this very old man, over ninety years of age, had really walked from his bhome near St. Catharines, a distance of over cleven miles, to spend a few hours with him. We may rely on the fact that the visit was nome the \ess pleasant on this account, and thit if the Colonel walked back it was not the fault of his good, old friend, Mr. Alma.
