Fatherland. It was a name dear to memory and early associations and thus became the name of their new home in an alien land. The name became known to others of similar nationality seeking companionship .of compatriots. Erb First Settler From the small â€" clearing made with the first strokes of Abraham Erb‘s axe, a little southeast of where the Union Mills formerly stood, has been evolved the présent city in which we carry on our busâ€" iness. Step by step the city has ~advanced, and lNke the growing of a tree has hardly been perceptible. It is the reâ€" sult of work commenced by hardy pioneers, making for themselves a home in the wilâ€" derness. ‘As they. succeeded, others, attracted by the beaâ€" con of success, . followed in‘ their wake. Each succeeding year brought its failures, its trials and ‘ite triumphs, but perseverance and pluck preâ€" vailed. The pioneers of over one hundred years ago were largely dependent on physical energy . and muscular force, and to the unstinted exercise of these hardy virtues in the Anitiatory step of settlement is due the prosperity of what is now one of the most thriving cities in the Dominion.

Emigrating from ‘the . Fatherland, and severing ties that birth, cus tom and tradition had made dear, they settled in the neighâ€" borhood of G erm a n t o w n, Pennsylvania, where they reâ€" mained in peace and comparâ€" ative happiness until. the outâ€" break of hostilities between England and her American colonies, Opposed to war and inclined to look with disfavour upon the case of the revoluâ€" tionits,s complications . arose: that were antagonistic to their‘ faith, and rather than endure the inconvenient result that was likely to follow, they emâ€" ulated the, example of Lhe‘ United Empire Loyalists, came to Canadt and settled in Waâ€" terloo. Mostly Mennonites ‘_With few exceptions these people were adherents of the Mennonite faith. They were men whose plety was exempliâ€" fied ‘in their daily lives, but they. were accystomed . to battle â€"with (Hflxnltiu and overcome obstacles and as such were well adapted to the pionâ€" eer life of Canada.

He was one of numerous who came from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, ied by the inâ€" ducements of a German Syndiâ€" cate formed in that State, who had> secured a sound title to 6,000 acres of land for $4,000. Previous to this time considerâ€" able difficulty had been ex> perienced" in attractingâ€"settlers, owing to. doubtss entectained respecting ~ the ‘validity>â€" and security of the land titles held by Richard Beasley who had claimed to have purchased the property from the Indians with whom the earlier settlers had to deal. tuate his many of them carry the Aâ€"1 sign.

The hardships which these people endured "during the early years of setâ€" tlement. were many and exâ€" treme, such as now would> be deemed of anâ€" impossible na» ture.> Their ‘food was> theâ€"proâ€" duct: of© theâ€" land ~theyâ€" tiled, supplemented by: ‘wild game and fish with which the woods and streams. abounded. ‘The nearest grist mill was at Dunâ€" das, thirtyâ€"five miles distant, and there the settler took his grist to mill, travelling by a path through the forest and carrying his grain and flour on horseback. Erect First Mill Not long â€"afterward, howâ€" ever, Jacob "C. . Snider, who had moved from Pennsylvania to a location aâ€"little west of the present town site, purchasâ€" ed the Erb propery and conâ€" tinued the operation of the mills. Mr. Snider had quite a large family and was. anxious to preserve the land as an in« heritance for his children reâ€" fusing _ repeated offers . for small lots.
