The disease spread out on immigrant ships sailing from England & Ireland & also along the St. Lawrence. In a manuscript written by Titus Willson of Sharon, he relates that while working in the Coldwater district, cholera broke out among the large number of immigrants camped at Bass Lake waiting for their shanties to be built by the Government & a great many of them died. He tells that he himself contracted the disease & was carried on a litter to Orillia where he lay for 2 weeks. He was then taken in a bark canoe across Lake Simcoe to Holland Landing.

On the out breaking of the Rebellion in 1837, Mr. Willson's loyalty induce him to stand up for the philosophies of his ancestors. With his 3 sons, he joined the company raised by Col. Colter. At Toronto the Lieut. Governor commended officers with "This is Titus Willson, & a more loyal man does not live". He was elected as Reeve of East Gwillimbury on two occasions & several times as Reeve of Holland Landing. For several years previous to his death, Mr. Willson's sight failed him. His tedious confinement was alleviated by the attentions of his late & affectionate family to whom he was warmly attached. He calmly contemplated death approach & prepared for it. Surround by members of the Temperance Society & himself always a intemperate man, he said he could not join them in their whole rule condemnation of pique, thought he was willing to abstain? how great a coarse it was then abutted. Many years ago, when public duties obliged him to travel from Penetanguishene to where Barrie now stands, it was almost an unbroken wilderness, & he had to travel on foot throughout deep snow, in very severe weather. When several miles from a place of shelter he found his strength falling him & his feet so cold that he feared they would freeze. He had with him what travelers usually carried in these days, a small wooden keg called canine, containing spirits. Fearing if he drank the contents, it might injury him, contented the idea of pour some in this boots as an experiment, & to his delight he found it at once warmed his feet & so refreshed his whole system that he was enabled to reach a place of shelter. Perhaps the most rigid tee-totaler could not object to this mode of using. . 1836 Mar 9, York Committee Room, Petition of E Kennedy. Witness: Titus Wilson examined. Lives in East Gwillimbury - saw the German settlers on the Sunday road in 1834, about 15 or 20 of them moving towards Nattwasauga, they were in a forlorn & destitute situation, no guide, no mode of conveyance, carrying the packs & wall children in a foot of snow. No means of making fire. Directed them to a shanty 2 miles away. Titus went to the Crows tavern to ask Mr. Kennedy to carry them provisions in the morning which they devoured in 3 minutes. . George McCarthy, deposition: Corroborates the former evidence as to the distress of the German families. He gave them 2s 3p. - they bough a bushel of potatoes & divided them - was when Titus Wilson offered Settlers Agent Mr. Young, some pork & flour at a much less price than it would cost from Barrie & which he first agreed to take & afterwards refused - came down with Wilson when he presented the draft on Hawke for the road work done by him & which Hawke refused to pay. Wilson was put to considerable trouble & expense. . 1835 Nov 12, Tora Township. We have carefully examined the work contracted for to be done in Thora, Eldon Twp. by Richard Titus Wilson with Wellesley Ritchie, Esq. on the part of the government Viz. A road cut & leveled about 16 feet she's as to admit of the passage of sleighs & Waggons, from the Talbot River, Thora two, to Balsam Lake, the causewaying laid on string pieces, the high causewaying with abutments & string pieces as slo the bridges over the creeks & vines, & the House at Talbot R. & one at Balsam Lake, all of which we have found to be performed in a workmanlike manner & in strict conformity to instructions. Some additional causeway is necessary! having discovered several mud holes, that required to be finished off on the line of road. The above work has been done at the lowest possible rate & none of us would take the contract at so low a price.

Her father would bring down the hammer down with a loud clack on the anvil to scare the children away from this scary & dangerous place. Her father Charles Walker, made plows, wagon, carriages & cutters - (cutters, not sleighs, corrected Ruby.) Ruby was a Registered Nurse. First non-catholic graduate from St. Joseph Nursing school. Ruby was always respectful of religion. > Aunt Ruby also recalled that as a child she was sickly & her mother Ella kept her in bed for 3 years. Eldest sister, Jenn looked after Rub' & in fact, she considered Jenn to be like her mother. The convalesce must have taken, because Rub' was a robust & active lady who lived to the ripe age of 88. Much later in life when, Mary, Winn & Mary were retired, they lived most happily in the small small apartment building, each in their own apartment. They would gather in Ruby's living room to play endless games of cards & scrabble. Ruby enjoyed watching wrestling & the rough tumble of women's Roller Derby. If you came to Rub's place, you better be prepared for a game of cards or Scrabble, a fresh perked cup of coffee with a thick slice of a date square. However she did conceded that sister Mary made the better runny butter tarts. Ruby made her's thicker with currents. Ruby always insisted that old people should eat healthy!

Obituary: Very sudden & very sad indeed was the death of Ernest McCutcheon, late of 115 Oxford Street of Woodstock, Ont., who was struck by a G. T.P. freight train about 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 10th & instantly killed. Mr. McCutcheon was an employee of the Canada Furniture Manufacturers Ltd., working in the shipping room & had the usual half-holiday on Saturday. Taking advantage of the fine weather, he went to the woods just west of the city to gather ferns & having got a good supply, he was returning home when the accident occurred. It is supposed that he was crossing the tracks, almost where they cross, train coming from the west & he stepped out of its tracks, not seeing the train from the east which struck him. He was rather deaf & probably did not hear both trains. According to those at work near that point, the engine was whistling a warning before it got to him, but he walked on without noticing it. He was terribly mangled, having both arms & legs cut off, & his skull fractured. The inquest over the body was opened on Saturday evening at 8 p.m. when the jury empanelled viewed the remains & adjourned until Wednesday evening when evidence will be taken. The death of Ernest McCutcheon has caused widespread sorrow in the city. He, with his newly married wife came here almost a year ago, & took up their residence on Oxford Street, where they bought their home. A man of sterling character & fine qualities Mr. McCutcheon soon became a prominent member of Chalmers Church at which he was a most regular attender & few members were as highly esteemed as he. The sympathy of the community goes out to Mrs. McCutcheon, who was terribly shocked when the news of the fatality was broken to her. Deceased was this morning taken to his former home, Ospringe, where interment will be made.

Mary was a tall dark haired lady with a distinctive happy laugh. * Saturday mornings were a good time to drop in for a visit while Mary's delicious butter tarts were still warm. Mary & sister Ruby were always in a contest who made the best butter tarts. Mary's tarts were more runny than Ruby with currents & walnuts. Ruby cooked her tarts thicker, but did allow that Mary did a better pastry crust! Aunt Mary also made delicious Hermits cookies, scoffed up while still hot. To conjure up Mary's memory, here is her recipe: Mary Walker Finn's Hermits: 1 Cup butter (half a pound) 1 Cup brown sugar, creamed & add 1 egg 1 tablespoon cream Sift together 3 cups flour 3/4 Teaspoon soda 1 Teaspoon baking soda Add grated rind & just of 1 orange 1 Cup dates 1 Cup walnuts Add canned citron, which was nice!
