| 14201 | James A is the son of Agusta Dillion & James De la Hooke, Sr., Wembury, Devon, England. Married first in 1844 to Sarah England, & 2nd marriage to Maria Louisa Dension. Dr. De La Hooke, the first physician in the village, joined this same year in 1858, & became Lodge doctor. (i.e.. Weston Orange Lodge L.O.L No 216). We Cannot find any record of a practicing physician in Weston previous to 1839, in which year Dr. James Acland De La Hooke joined the community of the Humber. The villagers at "The Humber" were delighted to welcome a doctor to their midsts, in the person of De DLH. He was licensed by the Royal College of surgeons in London in 1837 & soon after received an appointment as an army medical officer & was sent out to join the garrisons at Kingston & Toronto. He resigned his commission & moved to the village in 1839. During the time he resided in the village he acted as medical officer to the York cavalry & each year went to camp with them. the local physician did not hang out the customary shingle, but at the side of his door was posted a list of his charges for attending maternity & other calls. Following the severe flood of 1850, he established himself on the Plank Road*, at the corner now occupied by Inch's Drug Store. Diphtheria & Smallpox were 2 diseases that struck terror into the villagers of these early days. Some families lost several children with one or other of these diseases. The doctor was a fine horseman & always kept several spirited beats that he rose in making his professional visits. We are informed that some call took him 25 or 30 miles. He loved to play cricket with the boys at the Grammar School & took great pleasure in organizing the school cricket club of which Vernon Wadsworth was one of the outstanding players. Games were arranged with Trinity School. Dr De La Hooke's first wife dies in 1846 & some time later he married Miss Maria Louisa Denison. After 30 years of active practice in Weston, he moved into Toronto in 1870, where he remained until his death, Sept 18, 1897. He was buried in the Denison burying ground , St. Jon's on the Humber, beside h is wife who predeceased him on July 1st, 1887. In 1871, DR DeLaHooke's house, at the corner of Main & Johns Streets Wadsworth was occupied by Hon E H Spring Rice. Note:* Weston Plank Road: Ref: History of Weston, by F D Cruckshank, MD, 1937.

| 14222 | James Henry (Jim) Moore was diagnosed with Malignant Hyperthermia in the late 1980s. This is a rare, genetic condition that could be fatal under certain conditions. It was discovered when he almost died during an operation to remove polyps from his throat. It amounts to a severe reaction to certain drugs, particularly anaesthetics, or excessive overheating that causes the body to overheat so rapidly that one can die within fifteen minutes once the process has started. All other blood relatives have been cautioned that the chance they have this condition is high and have been encouraged to be tested. All relatives have been instructed to wear medic alert bracelets whether they have been tested or not. A few have undergone testing to date (1999) and most tested positive for the condition. Jim suffered a severe stroke in approximately 2004. It affected the complete left side of his body and he never regained the use of his limbs. His speech returned soon after the stroke but it was affected and never returned to normal. Jim died following about a month of dealing with congestive heart failure and pneumonia. On the day before he died, his handshake was still formidable. | MOORE, James Henry U.E. (I19)
