Notes - NOTE 1./ William Cyrus settled on the south half of Lot 16 on Con. 1 of Westminister. He and his first wife, Helen Scott made their first home in a log house at the south end of the property which faced on the 2nd Con. In 1880 a large brick house was built just to the east of the log house and by coincidence, the bricklayer for their new home, William Scott, was a relative of William's wife. In the late eighties numerous brick houses were being built, replacing the log houses. There had been an earlier dwelling at the north end of Lot 16, no longer in use, but the lane is still plainly visible as are the tall pine trees that sheltered it. The old house became an implement shed when it was moved adjacent to the barn at the south half of lot 16. Farming for William must have been difficult. As a schoolboy his right arm was severely injured and had to be amputated. In spite of his handicap, he milked cows and managed the mixed farming operation. He was a trustee of the Pond Mills Cheese factory where the milk from his herd and most of his neighbours was sent. He was also a member of St. Paul's Masonic Lodge, #107 in Lambeth. William died in 1895 leaving lot 16 to his son.
