      Hiram Felker was born in 1844 on the farm and lived there until he died in 1911. His son Joseph Benjamin Felker was born there as well & he carried on the family tradition until his death in 1956. His children sold the farm to a developer in 1961 & most of the table land was developed for houses.  This has caused Felker's Falls to be located in a subdivision. Around this time there was a land acquisition program along the Niagara Escarpment in an effort to preserve as much of this UNESCO world biosphere as possible. The Hamilton Conservation Authority currently owns and operates the land.
