* VIllage of Erndtebrück, Germany
The village of Erndtebrück was undoubtedly first settled in the upper part hill where the houses nestle themselves up against the 'castle' hill. This village needed protection, when on the cold winter nights, packs of wolves howled from the surrounding hills. Not a stout city wall, but rather a picket fence or thorny-hedge placed on a low wall served as the boundary fence.

Now the Customs & Toll Collector, alone in his little office house, could not get at the purses of the travelers who sometimes tried to charged though in groups without paying. The Toll Collector would sound his horn to summon the local cart drivers to deal with a travelers with spears & pitchforks approaching from the city. Running the toll booth seems to have been an universal challenge.

Many of the buildings in Erndtebrück were destroyed in the bombing on 10 March, 1945 at the end of World War II, including the Toll Collectors house & the oldest Luther church where the Volkels prayed & married. The church with its steeple, has been rebuilt in the same style & sits on high point overlooking the village. Similarly there are some beautiful rebuilt houses with gardens completely surrounding the path & stairway leading to the Evangelische-Reformiert Kirche. - Translated from German. PJA 2009.

* FELKER BIBLE:
On May 1773, Johann Fredrick Völkel left Erndtebrück with a German Bible with an inscription under the front cover:
"This Bible is presented to you as a teaching of Christ, & instruction for your soul.
God Grant that you may use it frequently on your journey to America. Erndtebrück, May 18, 1773"
Last known location of this Felker Bible was by Belle Felker, great granddaughter, born in Auburn, Michigan.

. Port of Philadelphia: Philadelphia would seem an unlikely candidate as a major immigration port of entry, but 1.3 million immigrants passed through the port. The route took immigrants around Cape May at the foot of New Jersey, into the Delaware Bay & up the Delaware River to Philadelphia, adding more than 200 miles to the journey from Europe. & the trip wasn't without its hazards. The Delaware River often froze over during winter, limiting early immigration to warmer months. During the 1700s, there was an influx of German many of whom arrived as indentured servants or "redemptioners" who often stayed in the city to work off the cost of the passage.

This would be a good place to keep your churned butter from turning rancid & No doubt, the Felkers too cooled off in the pool on a hot day. The Bruce Hiking Trail pass by the top of the falls.

. Fred. moved to nearby Mount Albion on land in Saltfleet Township near the brow of the Niagara Escarpment. 7 miles from Hamilton, Saltfleet Twp. Nearby a saw mill was constructed, although it is not known exactly who built the mill. The earliest known owner of the mill is John Secord, who purchased it around 1812. Gradually, a small settlement began to form. It was originally named Albion Mills. The grist mill built alongside nearby Albion Falls, as well as Albion Mills' location at the head of the Red Hill Valley & along a well-travelled road were catalysts for growth in the small village. The influx of settlers to the area introduced services & establishments, including blacksmith shops, taverns & a general store. Albion Mills later gained its own stop on the horseback mail delivery route. Throughout the remainder of the 19th century, Albion Mills served as a local hub of commerce & services for the rural surrounding countryside. In 1880, the name of the village was changed to Mount Albion & the main road, up until then a muddy trail, was reconstructed with stone.

Hiram A. Felker (1822-1911took over the farm. His wife, Mary (Cowan) Felker outlived her husband by only 4 years. Both are buried in nearby Felker Cemetery, on Mud Street.
The family name also lives on the Felker Falls Conservation area, which was located on Hiram Felker's farm after c.1890. Today it sits at the edge of "Satellite City".

. 1835 the of 1835 & the beginning of 1836 was very cold. The snow was between 3 & 4 feet deep in the woods, the thermometer was 30 degrees below zero.We used frequently to hear the wolves in pursuit of the deer; tow or 3 times got parts of the deer which they had been unable to devour. the sound of the wolves in pursuit is a good dal like that of a pack of foxhound, only more melancholy & more like a howl. they are very seldom seen. We often saw deer. They are easily tamed if taken young - but get very troublesome. We had several turtle feats. the porcupine is very good eating, very like a rabbit. Raccoon is not bad but rather rich & strong tasted. during the first interleaf bread was very scarce. although we had no bread, we had potatoes, oatmeal, salmon & lots of venison. Mr. Alpaugh, of Garafraxa, used to be a great hunter in those days & as he passed our house on the way to Fergus we got the first offer of his game. Stoves were hardly known. The big black pot & bake kettle were the chief culinary instruments.
Our first experience of (militia) state labor was realized in 1835. We busted together & marched to a pretty little stream. Our hands blistered nicely, but we just pricked the little blobs on the balsam trees & rubbed them with that. They healed wonderfully. Our dinner consisted of died deer fa]ham which old Mr Black provided, with bread , scones & crop.

METHODIST CHURCH, [ Life in pioneer Wellington County ]
. The Rev. Mr. Trerayne, who succeeded Mr. Pettit, writes :
Elora, May 1853, Dear Sir: Having now been for 6 months in the Mission,
I wish to submit to your Society some account of what has been done during that time.
Upon my entering on the Mission, I have in all 15 stations, through eight townships, viz, Egremont, Arthur, Garafraxa, Erin, Woolwich, Peel, Wellesley & Maryborough, all of which I have been enabled to visit monthly during the winter & to the station in Woolwich I have given a week-day service in addition to the Sunday. Have given up at present on account of the smallness of the congregations, & one other also I visit but once in 2 months, leaving me therefore at present but 16 monthly services.

The want of roads, & the difficulty of arranging stations within reasonable distances of each other, prevent the Missionary from doing as much as he would otherwise be able to perform. ' this want is particularly felt in Wellesley - in which place I am forced to walk through the woods, between the stations, a distance of ten miles in Summer, & in Winter have to go a round of six miles further. In the Spring & Fall the roads are almost impassible, being a heavy clay soil - a horse being unable to get along, on account of the very deep mud & loose crossways. But amid the difficulties at the worst seasons of the year, the Missionary must feel thankful that God has appointed him as an humble means of gathering together the scattered flock of Christ. He soon forgets his weariness in the warm welcome which is always given, & in the pleasure of seeing a godly congregation gathered round him, despite of mud, & rain, & darkness. & it is gratifying to find. ...

> In Garafraxa they have raised the means for building, & this week have advertised for tenders, & hope to have a church ready for worship by Winter. With the exception of two union churches & one court room, all the services are held in school or private houses.
I find a lamentable ignorance displayed with regard to the way in which the church in Canada is supported, - the most part think that all the lands called Clergy lands belong to the church, & that the proceeds of all go to the church. And continually the question is asked me - Why does not the government build us a church? Why is there not a stationed minister among us - have we not plenty of church lands for a Hector and to support him?
