Ref: Acton Free Press. . 1930 Oct 9 - Died Johnston, at the family residence, Knox Ave, Action, on Thur. Oct 2, 1930, Lydia Martha leslie, widow of the late Robert Johnston, in her 88th year. Obituary1: Mrs Robt P Johnston passed to her eternal rears inst. Thursday when Mrs Robert Johnston, Knox Ave, Fell asleep, after a prolonged term of feebleness & fatality. Though she never complained, she longed, for the call to come up higher & eagerly awaited meeting her Savior & the reunion with her beloved husband & loved ones the had preceded her to the Better land. Be had attained the ripe age of 86 less 4 days.during her declining years Mr Johnston enjoyed the faithful affection & loving care of her family. Her eldest daughter Miss Melissa, was over by her side & constantly bestowed tender daughterly attention & solicitude. Lydia Martha was the dau. of the late James Leslie & Lydia Williams of Genwilliams, pioneer resident son this county, who came from Tyronne, Ireland when part of Canada was first being settled. 54 years ago Robert P Johnston, son the the late Dr. Johnston, took as his brad the elect lady who presided as matron of his home for 45 years. In 1911 he was called up higher. Theirs was a happy home. It was a Godly home, where the name of the Lord was revered, where the children were early taught the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It was a home where the minister had a cordial welcome & where friend & neighbors were always assured a happy timer. The Brick Church, just a lot away, was to this home a real House of God & it had their regular attendance & generous support. the passing of the husband & father of the home, 19 year ago, left a blank for the devoted wife.

Funeral Sat. Funeral was very largely attended. Committed to Fairview Cemetery beside husband. . 1930 Oct 16 - Obituary2, THE JOHNSTONS & THE LESLIES the removal by death of Mrs. Robert Johnston at the first of the month left this community the poor, for Mrs. Johnston was for a lifetime an esteemed member of the pioneer folk & a warm friend to all who had the good fortune to known her. The passing of Mrs J. took me back over the generations of Johnstons & Leslies who have been residents of Erin & Esquesing, Glen Williams & Acton. Those of us who have passed the allotted span of life, can readily recall personalities of note & events of interest in which members of these 2 families were active participants. The coming to the community of these industrious pioneers soon widened the relationships to the Snyders, the Swnackhamers, the Staffords & the later generation to still further families who are around & happy to be numbered with them as members of the expanding circle. The Leslies settled in this community upwards of 70 years ago. The men became successful farmers & the women married good husbands. The Leslie farms cleared & workday George & Joel Leslie, were always regarded as model places. They had good houses & well built barns, & fruitful fields, splendid orchards, pure bred & well fed stock & the air of prosperity prevailed. Leslie's School has always been a familiar place. The children of the Leslie homes & homes of the neighborhood attended there. Good teachers were engaged.Some of the early ones were Mr. McPherson, father of the late Hugh A McPherson, for a dozen years the minister of our own Know]x church, Action, was one of the early ones. They there were Bella Gordon? & James Moore & Miss McDonald & others of merit. Robert Johnston & Lydia Martha Leslie attended this school together & I know that the boy & girl affections formed there, ripened into the later love which brought them eventually into the holy bonds of wedlock & a happy married life together for well on to half a century. The family they raised - 5 sons & 6 daughters - all of them a credit to their generation of the Leslie & Johnston were associated with the Swackhamer & the Snyder families of the Hill. What start characters these early settlers were. They stood for right living; hey appreciated education advantages. They were all interested in either or both the Brick Church on the 2nd line & the Congregational church on the 3rd line, just 7/8 of a mile part. Could any of your old folks who read this think of the Hill church without a Swackhamer or the Brick Methodist church without a Leslie or a Johnston in those early days. Their descendants still talk of Uncle Hiram Denny & Rev Jos Unsworth as revered ministers of the one & Rev Geo Abb? Father Lynch & others. What an influence these early preachers had on their congregations & on the community. Then we recall the social functions of these 2 churches, the annual worries. What events they were, the only social events of the year. Everybody & their aunts & uncles attended.The big wholesome supper & humorous speeches afterward by the preachers of the neighborhood & special anthems by the church choir. Those were the times, especially when they were held on frosty nights with good sleighing & merry sleigh bells. Acton always sent a large quota of citizens to these tea meetings & the town folks always seem to be hungry - hungry for the good things the Hill folks & the folks at the Brick ways provided. Coming bak to the Johnston family, which was rich in sons & daughters, I recall that one of the Doctor's sons - Daniel - became a Methodist preacher, for years has been regarded as an eminent divine in several churches he has been minister in the Western States. Milly, one of the daughters, married a Methodist preacher - the late Dr. Scanlon? She has always been proficient in music & has occupied the position of soloist in Toronto churches. Leslie, Johnston, Snyder & Swackhamer families had been leaders in their respective communities for well on to an hundred years & they & their descents have been useful members of society. Eli Snyder built the Brick Church which stood for between 60 & 70 years at the cent of the 2nd line & the Erin-Esquesing town line. I know he did for I saw him at work on the anchored edifice in 1864. It has been a pleasure to me always to have a close acquaintanceship, yes a close friendship with these families & we still continue to be friends. Signed, the Old Man of the Big Clocktower.* Ref: Acton Free Press. Note: G A Dills, publisher of the Acton Free Press newspaper, published Acton's Early Days, Old Man of the Clocktower 1893-1963. Lydia Martha Leslie, b. 1844 died 1930. 12 children. The Leslie Farm . Lot 6, Con. 1, was taken up by James Leslie in 1833, before it was surveyed. His wife was Lydia Williams from Glen Williams, where he had first settled. There they remained for a few years so the children could attend school. About 1835, he settled on lots 5 & 6; & about 1869, he bought Lot W 1/2 Lot 6, Con 2 from Peter Torrie. At one time, James Leslie owned 850 acres in Erin Township. He had 9 children: John, Elizabeth, Mary, Benajah, George, Margaret, Martha, Joel & Sarah. James Leslie died in 1873, leaving Lot 6, Con 1 to his son, George. Having previously bought Lot 6, Con. 2, he was an established breeder of Registered Shorthorn cattle, & a lover of fine carriage & draught horses. The large brick house was built in 1882; the barn in 1887. George Leslie operated a potash manufacturing business on L6 C2. Two bars of soap were bartered for hardwood ashes which were leached & the liquid boiled down, cooled & packed in barrels to sell for the manufacture of soap, etc. George Leslie married Amanda Stafford. In 1909, 2 sons, Joel & Ira, took over the two farms, but due to Ira's ill health, Joel carried on. He showed Registered Percheron horses at the C.N.E. & Royal Winter Fair, [Toronto] winning many prizes. In 1913 he built the fine stone house on Lot 6, Con 2, where his father, brother Ira, & sister Amy, lived. Joel married Ina Seymour & lived in the brick house on lot 6, con. 1. He died in 1957, & since then the farm has been operated by his son, Gordon Leslie & his wife, Annie Aitken. They have 2 sons & 3 daughters. Ref: History of Erin Township. .

Biography of Lydia Martha Leslie's father: LESLIE, James (d.), was a son of John Leslie, who was born & settled in the county of Tyrone, Ire., where the subject of this sketch was born in 1800. James Leslie & his brother George came first to New York State & there met the British Consul, who persuaded them to come to Canada. They procured from him location tickets for 300 acres of land, came to Canada & spent some time in Montreal & in about 1819 came on to Glen Williams, where his father, brother John & sister Margaret joined them. Each of the brothers took up 100 acres of land. George set. in Chinguacousy & James & John in Glen Williams. The farms taken by George & John are still owned by their sons, but James came to Erin in 1833 & took up land before the township was surveyed. He then returned to his farm in the Glen that his children might get to school & after about 10 years sold his farm in the Glen & returned to Erin, where he spent the remainder of his life. Mr. Leslie drew two loads of lumber from Glen William to Guelph, when he could get stable for only one yoke of oxen & the other yoke had to lie out in the snow chained to a stump on Wyndham Street. His wife, who was quiet & busy, had planted apple seed while in the Glen & raised trees for herself, that she brought with her to her new home & planted among the stumps. Thus they had the first orchard in this part of the country. The late James Leslie, Jr., m.

He was a very successful farmer & with the help of his sons, accumulated a large property.
