    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ William Cyrus settled on the south half of Lot 16 on Con. 1 of Westminister. He and his first wife, Helen Scott made their first home in a log house at the south end of the property which faced on the 2nd Con. In 1880 a large brick house was built just to the east of the log house and by coincidence, the bricklayer for their new home, William Scott, was a relative of William's wife. In the late eighties numerous brick houses were being built, replacing the log houses. There had been an earlier dwelling at the north end of Lot 16, no longer in use, but the lane is still plainly visible as are the tall pine trees that sheltered it. The old house became an implement shed when it was moved adjacent to the barn at the south half of lot 16. Farming for William must have been difficult. As a schoolboy his right arm was severely injured and had to be amputated. In spite of his handicap, he milked cows and managed the mixed farming operation. He was a trustee of the Pond Mills Cheese factory where the milk from his herd and most of his neighbours was sent. He was also a member of St. Paul's Masonic Lodge, #107 in Lambeth. William died in 1895 leaving lot 16 to his son.

  1. 4.  Cyrus Wareham SUMNER was born on 22 Oct 1803 in Kent County) Ontario (son of William2 SUMNER and Patience JOHNSON); died on 26 Feb 1880 in Westminster Township, Middlesex County, Ontario; was buried in Woodland Cemetery, Middlesex, Ontario.

    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ Cyrus and his wife Rebecca were buried in Woodland Cemetery in London, Ontario. Cyrus was a farmer and came to Westminister Township in 1819. He purchased 200 acres of Lot 19 in Con. 2 in 1835 which was originally patented to Ira Wooden from the Crown in 1825. His wife Rebecca was a cousin. Lot 19 was standing bush and Cyrus used the lumber to frame a 7-bedroom house, facing on Commissioners Road and a barn. In the clearing he grew grain and pastured his cattle. Commissioners Road had been built to facilitate east and west traffic through Westminister Township. The large house Cyrus built was frequently an over-night stop for travellers who received supper, sleeping accommodations, breafkast, and feed and water for their horses.

    By 1854, the London and Port Stanley Railway was buying land for the right-of-way and two and a half acres of the west half of Lot 19 were sold to the railway company. Having done this, a problem arose, because Cyrus could no longer get to that part of his property beyond the right of way, so in 1879 he sold to his neighbor on Con. 2, Elliot Grieve, eleven acres from the part south of the tracks. He later recovered some of this acreage with purchases in 1880 of ten acres and an additional five acres in 1885, from William E. Grieve on the east side of the tracks. Cyrus was an innovative farmer. The windmill which was mounted on top of his barn drew water from the dug well a hundred feet away to the barn using a jerk-line. He also installed a geared shaft that operated the root-pulper, for animal feed. Cement that was needed for building or for repairs was mixed by windmill power, but the men had to haul the gravel from the Themes River at the Meadow Lily Bridge with a team and wagon.
