Tisdale History:
Joseph Tisdale married Margaret Lawrence, of New Brunswick. The children of this union were four sons
. Joseph C', Valentine H, John E. & William P.;
& 6 daughters,
. Miranda L., Philena M., Margaret Jane, Frances Almira, Helen W. R. & Hannah Eliza.

Hannah Tisdale, eldest sister of the Tisdale brothers, married Israel Perley in New Brunswick. She came to Long Point a widow, with her 3 children - Ephraim Tisdale, Charles Strange & Elizabeth Moore. These children were brought up by their uncle, Joseph Tisdale. Ephraim T. settled near Courtland, & Charles S settled in Burford. There were 8 Tisdale brothers, seven of whom came to Upper Canada. The eighth brother, Walker, remained in NB, where he amassed considerable wealth. The names of the pioneer heads of the seven Upper Canada branches are, Ephraim, Lot, John, William, Joseph, Samuel & Matthew.

Joseph came the following year 1799 & built his pioneer cabin in the ravine locally known as " Spooky Hollow." In 1808, John, Matthew & Samuel came to the settlement, bringing the old people & their younger sister, Joanna, with them.

. 1810 Joseph went to New Brunswick & married, returning with his bride & a stock of merchandise; & soon after the "Tisdale Partnership " was organized for the purpose of carrying on a general mercantile business. This pioneer syndicate included 4 of the Tisdale brothers - Samuel, Lot, Joseph & Matthew & Benjamin Mead. The written articles of agreement forming the fundamental law of this mercantile combine have been carefully preserved, & they show that the members bound themselves, under an indemnifying penalty of £40,000, to observe the rules & regulations embodied in the agreement for the space of 10 years. The amount of capital furnished by each was as follows:
Samuel, £200; Lot & Joseph, £168 & 15 shillings in cash, & 25 barrels of flour, at £5 per barrel; Matthew, £37.10s; & Benjamin Mead, £42 in cash, 50 barrels of flour at £5 per barrel, & a draft on one, Stewart, of Niagara, for £2. The draft was not accepted, however & Mr. Mead's interest was reduced to the extent of its appraised value. It was agreed that each partner should share the profits & losses in proportion to the amount of capital furnished by him, & that no partner should pay any private debt of his own out of the partnership assets. Lot Tisdale, Joseph Tisdale, & Mr. Mead were constituted "agents" for managing the business. Just 2 weeks from the day they went into the woods to get out the timber for the construction of their store the building, was completed & the store in running order. This old store building is still standing & its massive frame is abundantly able to withstand the fury of the elements for centuries to come. It stands a few rods back from its original site, forming a wood house attachment to the Joseph Tisdale family residence just east of Vittoria.
. 1812 Joseph Tisdale built the two-story frame house in the "hollow," which stood vacant & silent in the midst of its lonely surroundings for so many years after it was vacated by the family. When Mr. Tisdale built this house, with its massive chimney & its many fireplaces, it was christened' Cedar Hall,"& was looked upon by the settlers at that early time as a residence of magnificent proportions. Mr. Tisdale built a tannery at this place, & operated it several years. In 1814 he & his brothers purchased
Lot 21 in the 3rd concession {Con 4?], from James Russell; &, in 1816, built the "old red mill." Joseph Tisdale was a shrewd business man & accumulated considerable wealth. In 1834 he was considered one of the largest landowners in Charlotteville. He was a firm Loyalist, & was promoted to a captaincy in the first Norfolk militia. He died in 1864, having reached the ripe old age of 86 years.

Singular Death - A death occurred in this township on Sunday last, under strange circumstances.
Miss P. M. Tisdale, daughter of Mr. Joseph Tisdale, on Monday or Tuesday of last week, visited Mr. Nevett's residence, & went across his farm to Mr. Wm. McCall's, a short distance from Mr. N.'s. It is supposed that she reached Mr. McCall's, but finding no one at home she started to return to Mr. Nevett's, & got as far as the road. Shortly afterward some of Mr. McCall's family passed along the road & noticed her standing against the fence as if about to climb over it. They spoke to her, but received no answer. They went up to her, &, finding that she was insensible, assisted her into the buggy & conveyed her to their residence, where she was kindly cared for until her death, which occurred on Sunday.
She remained insensible during the whole time, so it is impossible to ascertain the cause of her death. It is supposed, however, that in crossing the fields she slipped upon ice & fell with such force upon her head as to render her insensible & ultimately cause her death.

Deceased was one of the most remarkable causes of extreme suffering to which our frail humanity can be subject. Torn from her youthful expectations, and thrown upon a bed of suffering, from which she was never raised even to a sitting position for the long period of twenty eight years -suffering, almost without cessation, the most excruciating pain, for which sore affliction she was never known to murmur or question Divine justice - always trusting in the merits of a kind Redeemer for a happy release when the earthy dissolution should come, deriving consolation from her Bible and Prayer Book, of which she was a constant reader, and firm disciple of the Church of England, in which faith, with a full assurance of a happy resurrection to eternal life, she breathed her last, being the first of a family of ten and surrounded by her brothers and sisters - retaining through all her suffering to the last the full powers of her mental faculties, the amiability and brilliancy of which are most fully displayed in her early school girl days." - - -

Obituary: Death of Dr. John Wilson
The many old friends of Dr. John Wilson, in whose memories he had a warm place, were shocked by the intelligence of his sudden death from an attack of bronchial pneumonia last Friday, at the residence of his son, Dr. Wm. Wilson, at St. Joseph, Michigan.
Dr. John Wilson went from Simcoe to Detroit over 25 years ago, where he has since resided. A few days ago, not feeling well, he went on a visit to his son at St. Joseph & while there died very suddenly.
His remains were brought to Simcoe on Sunday morning by his sons William and Douglas, & taken to the residence of his daughter, Mrs. W. Edgett Tisdale, & in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock were interred in the family plot in Oakwood cemetery, many of his former friends attending the funeral.
The late Dr. Wilson is survived by his widow, 2 sons & 2 daughters. He was born in Simcoe in 1838, received his earlier education in the Simcoe Grammar School, & finally matriculated in Arts in Toronto University. He then attended McGill College, Montreal, & subsequently completed his studies in London, England, obtaining the diploma of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. 
He returned to Simcoe in 1859 and resided here until his removal to Detroit. By his courteous manner & enterprise for the benefit of the town he became very popular, & for several years was elected to the Town Council, & for a number of terms was Warden of Norfolk. He was the first Mayor of the town of Simcoe at its incorporation in 1878. He was a Past Master of Norfolk Lodge, No. 10. A. F. & A. M., and a Past Principal of Ezra Chapter, No. 23, R.A.M.
