. 1898 Aug 28, Sun. He Gave $2,000 Bail & Will Spend Sunday at His Time
Wm. Henry, the Portsmouthh man who was robbed of $1,000 at his home, 1200 Marsac St. early yesterday morning by an unknown burglar called at police headquarters & preferred a complainant against Levi G Felker, charging him with the theft. What evidence the police dept. has, in any, is being kept a secret. It is stated that Mr. Felker's house was thoroughly searched yesterday afternoon without discovering the slightest trace of the missing gold, silver & paper money which Mr. Henry claims he so carefully laid away in the little drawers in his room.
The Sunday Bay City Times is informed that Mr. Felker has been a resident of this country for more than a quarter of a century & has always been an honest, hard working & industrious man, having the respect of all who knew him. While living in Essexville he was twice elected president of the village.
Mrs. Felker & daughter called at the police station yesterday afternoon with John E Kinnane, who has been retained to conduct the defense. ... The defendant was arraigned, entered a plea of not guilty, & was held in $2,000 bail for his appearance Sep 1 at 1 o'clock. Mr Felker then departed with his wife & daughter for home.
"Why didn't you keep your money in the bank?" asked the Sunday Times of Mr. Henry.
"Will, I will tell you. A few years ago when the banks all over the country were failing, the banks of this city united in an agreement making it impossible for depositors to get their money without giving them notice a certain time in advance. I had about 1 $1,000 in 3 certificates of deposit, intent to use them from time to time as I wanted the money. When I presented one of the certificates, I could not get the money & it bothered me a good deal, & since that time I have been keeping my own money. I last saw the money on Thursday. I had a little money came in & I put it with the rent. What beats me is the fact that the burglar overlooked all of my mortgages, notes & other valuables while he took pains to take Mr. Felker's private papers & spread them out on the kitchen table."

The examination of Levi G Felker, was was charged by Wm. henry with the theft of $1,000 from his room, came to a sudden end in the police court this afternoon at 3:30 o"clock. After a conference between Prosecutor Gilbert & Police Justice Kelly, it was decided to discharge the defendant. The police justice said that the evidence thus far taken was not, in his judgment, sufficient on which to hold the defendant to the circuit court for trail.

This will be especially pleasing now to Mr. Felker's friends who have known him for many years as an honest & upright citizen.

. Fred. moved to nearby Mount Albion on land in Saltfleet Township near the brow of the Niagara Escarpment. 7 miles from Hamilton, Saltfleet Twp. Nearby a saw mill was constructed, although it is not known exactly who built the mill. The earliest known owner of the mill is John Secord, who purchased it around 1812. Gradually, a small settlement began to form. It was originally named Albion Mills. The grist mill built alongside nearby Albion Falls, as well as Albion Mills' location at the head of the Red Hill Valley & along a well-travelled road were catalysts for growth in the small village. The influx of settlers to the area introduced services & establishments, including blacksmith shops, taverns & a general store. Albion Mills later gained its own stop on the horseback mail delivery route. Throughout the remainder of the 19th century, Albion Mills served as a local hub of commerce & services for the rural surrounding countryside. In 1880, the name of the village was changed to Mount Albion & the main road, up until then a muddy trail, was reconstructed with stone.

Frederick Felker (1794 - 1880) settled at Mount Albion /Stoney Creek, & purchased land just east of the hamlet. He built a modest house* on the site, & eventually acquired all the property between what today is Paramount Drive & the Davis Creek. This photo shows Felker's sons (including Hiram) & Felker's widow, Mary (Bentley), at the funeral in 1880.
Hiram A. Felker (1822-1911took over the farm. His wife, Mary (Cowan) Felker outlived her husband by only 4 years. Both are buried in nearby Felker Cemetery, on Mud Street.
The family name also lives on the Felker Falls Conservation area, which was located on Hiram Felker's farm after c.1890. Today it sits at the edge of "Satellite City".

. Photo: The house is one store wood covered with plaster, two windows. The triple size doorway is recessed & in it stands an one foot squared timber two-thirds of the way on the left side. To the left may be seen small bare tree with a 3 foot large 'V shaped' animal crib with hay in it. 2 loose planks form a walkway to the house. Widow Mary Bentley Felker sits in a chair. Beside her is a empty rocking chair. Behind her in a single row stands 10 sons in dark morning clothes, holding their hats in their right hand.
