Her husband died in 1936, and since that time Mrs. Woods lived with her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Van Horn in Tulsa. She ofter returned to her beloved Caledonia to stay with her mother, and later with her brother and families; and always when she returned she renewed old friendships and made many new ones.

| 3989 | from "The Canadaigua Repository and Messenger", Jun 1874 (fultonhistory.com) Marvin C. Palmer, of Gansevoort, who, some five months since swallowed four false teeth attached to a plate, has from time to time visited several eminent physicians, but the general opinion prevailed among them that there would be no certainty of his surviving the ordeal of an operation for the removal of the teeth. Mr Palmer on Wednesday called upon Dr. McLean, who, after an examination, gave it as his candidate opinion that the operation could be successfully performed. Mr Palmer has about concluded to allow Dr. McLean to attempt the removal of the teeth. His health is gradually failing by reason of the presence of the foreign substance within him. In his present condition he is compelled to take his food in a fluid state, and in such limited quantities that it does not afford him the nourishment desired. It will be remembered the doctor McLean performed a similar operation on a West Troy gentleman, who was entirely successful, the second successful operation of the kind ever performed in this country. | Palmer, Marvin C.

| 3990 | from "The Canadian Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men, Ontario Volume", 1880 The oldest and most successful lawyer in Paris is Henry Hart, son of Phillip Dacres Hart, who was long connected with the East India Company, and retired in the prime of life with a competency, living in London, England, where the son was born, February 16, 1827. The maiden name of his mother was Elizabeth Ann Chase. Both parents were English. When our subject was in his eighth year the family emigrated to Upper Canada; reached St. Catharines in I835, and the next year settled in Brantford. The father died in 1855, the mother in 1876. Young Hart was educated in the schools of Brantford, and in Upper Canada College, at Toronto; studied law with Daniel Brooke, of Brantford; passed examinations at Toronto at Easter term, May 23, 1860, and has been in practice at Paris from that date. He does a general business, Common law, Chancery, Conveyencing, &c., and is one of the most industrious, professional men in the town. He had a good business almost from the start; has the utmost confidence of the people in his integrity as well as his ability, and his profession is quite remunerative. Whatever he undertakes to do, he does thoroughly, and looks well to the interests of his clients. Mr. Hart has held but few offices, his law business being usually about as exacting on his time, we presume, as he cares to have it. He has been a Councilman, Deputy Reeve and Reeve, and we cannot learn that he has held any other office. His ambition seems to be satisfied with being a good and successful attorney at law. His character, in a moral as well as legal sense, stands well. In politics Mr. Hart is known as a staunch Reformer, and he appears to be more willing to help his friends to office, than to accept them himself. In 1856 he married Miss Caroline Perkins, of Brantford, niece of Colonel Charles C. Dixon of that city, and they have three children, all sons. | Hart, Henry (I1910)

| 3991 | from "The Canadian biographical dictionary and portrait gallery of eminent and self-made men", 1880 (ancestry.com) Thomas Wilson, late mayor of Dundas, and one of the leading machinist and manufacturers of the town, was born in Dunbartonshire, Scotland, May 27, 1828. his grandfather was a manufacturer in Glasgow, and his father, Charles Wilson, was a distiller in the old country, and a farmer in Canada. His mother was Margaret McGregor, a descendant of the McGregors and Grahams of Sterlingshire. In the early youth of our subject the family moved to Lanarkshire, where he received a parish school education, and 1843 they all came to Canada West. Thomas learned the trade of a machinist with John Gartshore, of Dundas, commencing at 16 years of age, working twenty-five years for the same man, and managing the machinery department of his shops for sixteen years. Mr Wilson then purchased The Foundry and machine works, and for thirty-six years he has been working in the same building, with some enlargement and alterations from time to time. Business in their line is a little depressed just now, but ordinarily they give employment to seventy-five skilled mechanics, and do business of about $125,000 annually, your specialties being steam engines, boilers and mill machinery, though they make all kinds of machinery. Their market is mainly in Ontario and Manitoba. They do a great deal of marine work for the latter province, and the firm of Thomas Wilson and Co., is nearly as well known in the Valley of the Red River of the North, as in almost any part of Ontario. The old "Dundas Foundry and Engine Works," established more than forthy years ago (1838), were never in better hands or turned out more excellent work. Mr Wilson was connected, many years ago, with an artillery force, being Sergeant-Major of the same, and was Captain of a company of home-guards during the Fenian raids, but has never had occasion to deal in a serious manner with "villainous saltpetre". Some of his most useful work has been done in the municipality of Dundas, he being in the council of number of years, and mayor in 1876, 1877 and 1878. His practical good sense and working qualities cropped out there as well as in his own shops. He also has been of good service at times on the school board, and is a justice of the peace. Though not a rabid politician, nor in this respect very active, Mr. Wilson is an unwavering Reformer, and is president of the local association of his party, and has a high standing in its councils. In religion he is a Presbyterian, and has been one of the managers of Knox church for years. His character stands well, and in religion as well as secular matters is active and efficient. His wife was Miss Agnes Jardine, a native of Renfrewshire, Scotland. They were married June 13, 1851, have lost two children, and have eight living. Charles, the eldest son, is married and lives in Dundas; Mary is the wife of John A. Mcmahon, of Kingston, and the rest are single. | Wilson, Thomas (I5862)

| 3993 | from "The Canadian Portrait Gallery, Vol III", pg. 144, 1881 by John Charles Dent (electriccanadian.com) The Honorable George William Burton, the senior Justice of Her Majesty's Court of Appeal for the Province of Ontario, is a native of Sandwich, in the County of Kent, England, where he was born on the 21st of July, 1818, being the second son of the late .Admiral George Guy Burton, R. N., of Chatham, Kent, England. He was educated at Rochester, in his native shire, under the late Dr. Whiston, the able author of a work on Cathedral Trusts and their fulfillment, which resulted after many years of litigation in the removal of the abuses which he so ably exposed. Our subject came to this country in 1837, and at once began the study of law under the late Mr. Edmund Burton, then practicing at Ingersoll, in the County of Oxford, Upper Canada. He was called to the Bar in 1841, and began the practice of his profession at the City of Hamilton, then a small town at the head of Lake Ontario, where he continued until his appointment to the Bench; having built up one of the most successful practices west of Toronto, then and now the capital and the seat of law and learning. He was created a Queen's Counsel about the year 1862, and was nominated as a Bencher of the Law Society from about the year 1856, and was re-elected when that body became elective by the profession in 1871. His legal ability received further recognition by his appointment as Judge of the Appeal Court, upon its constitution in 1874, with the late Hon. W. H. Draper, C.B., as Chief Justice, since which time his residence has been at Oak Lodge Toronto. During his professional career Judge Burton had great experience as a railway lawyer, and was engaged as Counsel in a number of important railway cases affecting the interests of the city of Hamilton; and was also City Solicitor for that city for a quarter of a century, and legal adviser to the Canada Life Assurance Company, one of the most successful Life Companies on this Continent, for about the same period. Shortly after his elevation to the Bench, that Company paid him the compliment of electing him as a Director. He was always a most pronounced Reformer, with liberal views in both politics and religion. The Hon. Justice was married on the 9th of June, 1850, to Elizabeth, daughter of the late Dr. Perkins, of Kingston, Jamaica, and niece and adopted daughter of the late Col. Charles Cranston Dixon, of the 90th Regt. | Burton, Sir George William (I1909)
