. The Gazette, Montreal, Quebec.
1906 May 18 - Ontario Lacrosse Players: Neil Felker, who will this year figure at third home, is an Erin boy & played his first game in 190. In 1902 he was instrumental in organizing the Young Canadians, of Woodbridge, of which team he was captain. His splendid playing lead to a position being offered him last season he entered senior, playing at centre with the Tecumsehs.
. 1906 Oct 22 - Tecumesh Defense Third Quarter opened with Ottawa Caps attacking the fine style & Clarke nipped some ice ones. Pringle was ruled off for holding a player's stock. He was the first man to go off the match. Felker followed him a minute later for tripping Ashfield, who got a nasty fall by the dirty place of place. Ashfield resumed play in a couple of minutes.

Powers & Rowntee both decorated the fence at the beginning or the last quarter. the former for his injury & the later for being the cause of it. Felker check Curried in a manner that drew the referee's attention & he received a well deserved res. 4 minutes later Felker added game another on a pass.
. 1907 Aug 31 - Felker & Rountree of the Indians, are speedy, but are only god for abut half the distance & should be no match for Gauthier & Pitre. The French Canadians are not only faster than the Toronto men, but they can send the pace to the end.
. 1908 Jun 25 - It was a dirty game said Referee Billy McIntrey after the game was over. It was the scrappiest NLU game Torontonians have had the il luck to see for some time, The penalty list was the longest on record. 26 being the total, a total time spent on the fence was 3 hours. …Several are for all fights… players were deliberately smashed at their opponents. Hogan of Montreal should have been arrest on the spot, for there's no reason why an assault such as his on Felker, while neither men were playing, should go unnoticed, simply because it was on a lacrosse field, and not on the street, Six policeman standing around made no move to interfere when the players scrapped. They confined their efforts to keeping the spectators off the field, & they didn't make a success of that. - Toronto Star.
. 1909 Jun 28, Feller Retire, The teams playing 11 men a side, owing to Felker being too rich to continue, Wintemute going off to even up.

* 1912 May 23 - Neil Felker Undergoes A Serious Operation. Veteran of the Tecumseh was stricken with an appendicitis last night after a hurried consultation with surgeons last night in Western Toronto, Neil Felker was rushed to the Grace Hospital.

. 1922 May 24 - The management of the Weston lacrosse team is leaving nothing undone toggle the Weston public awning temperature. After weeks& months of hardworking they are rewarded twosome extant by having 20 players turn out for practice. Every man is able to hold his own in senior company. Their next step was to secure Neil Felker as coach. Felker is not stranger to Weston. He will be remember as the star fielder of that good Woodbridge team 15 years or more ago. The only Woodbridge team that could regularly beat Weston. On leaving Woodbridge, Felker played with West Toronto Shamrocks. He left that team to enter the pro lacrosse league, playing centre for the Tecumsehs. He played at a time when Ottawas, Shamrocks, Montreal AAA., Nations of Montreal & Cornwall were at their best. Neil Felker was known around the pro circuit as the best centre man in the game. He got the draw 90 timeout of a hundred & was an expert at making the odd man on the home. Neil was already made a favorable impression with the players. The public are sure to like him for he does not belong to the clique that dominated across last year.

. 1923 May 9 - Local Sporting Notes: Torontos have been gathering in a tube of dark, unknown players. Everyone is watching this team. Training is certainly hard. Neil Felker is not saying much, but that smile of his is til there & that means a lot. New smiles when things are right, so we know that everything is going along well.

. 1937 Jul 1 -The lawn bowlers are at it hot & have again in the West End & I stopped for a free minutes the other night at Baird Park to have a peek at West Toronto's finest. The players were al wearing sun caps dropped well down over their ears & you couldn't tell whether they were 19 or 90 except when they tried to bend & then you at least got a fair idea. But one I did now was Neil Felker - the big cigar was the land mark.

[History of the County of Middlesex, Canada p.572] "Robert Summers came from Cumberland County, England, in 1819, bringing with him his family. It is stated that the family came the time that James Nixon's family came; but this is wrong, as the Nixons settled in New York in 1816, and came to Westminster in February, 1819
[London Township Families Past & Present, p485] "Robert Summers (1756-1833) was a farmer and weaver in Bewcastle, Cumberland, England. His wife was Margaret Bell (1767-1858). They immigrated to Upper Canada in 1819 with their three sons and four daughters and settled in Middlesex County. They spent the first winter on Con. 2, then moved to Brick St., Westminster Twp. in 1820 where the parents lived out their lives. Some of their children married people from London Township. The children were Margaret (Mrs. James Nixon), Jane (Mrs. George Routledge), Mary (Mrs. Eli Trowbridge), John, Elizabeth (Mrs. George Robson), Robert Jr. (Isabella Robson), and Thomas.

[HCM, p. 1013]: Robert Summers was a farmer and weaver by trade, and when sixty-four or sixty-five years old came to Canada, in June, 1819, and nine weeks fromt the day he started landed in Quebec. He came soon after to Middlesex County, and the first winter lived on the 2nd Concession. Early in February, 1820, he bought a place on Brick street, in Westminster Township, and moved there on the 1st of May. Here he lived until his death in August, 1833, at the age of seventy-seven years. His wife died in 1858, at the age of ninety-one. their family consisted of three sons and four daughters, whose names are as follows: -- Margaret (the wife of James Nixon), Jane (wife of George Routledge, died in 1847), Mary (wife of Eli Trowbridge, who is also dead), John (died 11th of April, 1889), Elizabeth (wife of George Robson), Robert and Thomas. Four of the children are now living. Margaret, the eldest daughter, is ninety-four years of age; Mary is eighty-five; Robert is seventy-nine; and Thomas is 72.

[HCM, p. 1029]: Robert Summers came with his family from Cumberland County, England, in 1819, and to his marriage were born six children -- Jane, Mary, Joh, Elizabeth, Robert and Thomas.

Hungerford

[Guy St-Denis - Byron: Pioneer Days in Westminster Township] In 1815 Samuel Hungerford purchased the improvements [to northern part of L34] made by Calvin Martin....In 1800 he had migrated to Upper Canada and eventually made his way to Westminster. Although his arrival in the Byron area predated Watson's survey, he cannot be considered one of the pre-survey squatters, as he did not take up his own land until he purchased Martin's improvements in 1815. Prior to this purchase Hungerford had apparently lived with Joseph Kilbourn Sr. on lot 50 in concession A. Hungerford had married one of Kilbourn's daughters, Abigail, which helps to explain his presence on Kilbourn's location. He was probably assisting his aging father-in-law to clear and cultivate his farm. On June 2, 1812, however, he prepared a petition requesting a grant of his own 200 acres, but when he arrived in York he found that the government was preoccupied with the war and nothing could be done about his petition.
After the war, on April 3, 1815, as noted, Hungerford bargained with Martin, who was then living in Oxford Township, for the improvements to the broken front lot 34 and the adjacent northern part of lot 34 in the first concession. The two men agreed upon a price of $125 for which Hungerford gave Martin a horse worth $60 as part payment of the total sum. Because neither Martin nor [Usrich] Shenick before him had received the patent to the property Hungerford was, technically, one of the post-war squatters. In May he occupied the 200 acre lot and began performing the settlement duties, apparently without informing the proper authorities that he had purchased Martin's improvements. As a result, on January 17, 1816 the Executive Council, feeling that by this time Shenick's location ticket was invalidated, allowed Archibald Burtch to locate 100 acres of the northern part of lot 34, south of the Commissioners' Road and also what was now Hungerford's farm. Unfortunately, the land south of Hungerford was also occupied, by Peter McNames, which compounded the already confused mess. On the same day Burtch's wife was allowed all of lot 34 in the broken front to the north - which was also now occupied by Hungerford.
[After a long drawn-out dispute with Burtch, Hungerford was eventually granted the land by Executive Council, with the help of Ezra Griffith and Peter McNames, on May 1, 1821]
It is not clear whether Hungerford actually farmed the land in the broken front himself or merely held on to it for purposes of speculation....Hungerford retained his property until February 7, 1823 when he sold it to George J. Goodhue for £500. One of the most prominent merchants in early Westminster, Goodhue later bacame London's first "millionaire".
By 1829 the mobile Hungerford was the occupant of lot 50 in concession A, the former location of his father-in-law, Joseph Kilbourn Sr. Later, on September 19, 1840, he purchased the north-west quarter of lot 41 in the first concession, along with part of its broken front, from Charles Montague who paid £75 for 63 1/2 acres of lnad. On this property is a very high hill that came to be known as Hungerford Hill...Although Hungerford sold the property to his son in 1852, he continued to live there until his death on March 4, 1857. He was then interred in the Brick Street Cemetery. His saga of acquisitions, disputes and transfers forms one of the most intricate in the township and well demonstrates the pioneer settlers mobility, difficulties and ability to get into extended squabbles.

[p80] After Watson deserted to the Americans at Detroit he supplied Hull with much valuable information concerning British strength, morale, etc. Part of this information included a list prepared on July 10, 1812, of all the residents of Upper Canada whom he possibly believed could be "depended upon as staunch friends to the United States." ....Among the 119 names listed is that of Samuel Hungerford, a well-known early settler of the Byron area. Contrary to Watson's view of him, Hungerford remained loyal to the British throughout the war, and actually served in the Middlesex militia. In addition to this entry the overall accuaracy of the document is very suspect....Hungerford, who probably never realized his name was so abused, subsequently served the militia by opening and repairing roads for military use. He was also very active in furnishing and going with his team in assisting the British troops to pass through the country. Like so many other settlers, Hungerford suffered the loss of a horse during McArthur's raid, and two others stolen by Indians earlier in the year.

That your petitioner is a native of Connecticut in the United States of America -is 46 years of age-and has resided in this province for 16 years. That in the month of April, 1815, he purchased from one Calvin Martin.... lot 34 in the first Concession of the Township of Westminster......who bought the property from Ulrich Shenich a follower of S.L. Watson who originally settled on the said Lot, but returned to the United States during the War of 1812. [from Glen Curnoe]
