Notes:
1. JOHN BUCKLAND, a retired farmer of Gosfield North, belongs to a family long prominent among the settlers of the County of Stanstead, Quebec, and was born there Feb. 13, 1829, son of William and Clarissa (Heath) Buckland.Walter Buckland, the paternal grandfather, a cabinetmaker by trade, originally lived in Connecticut, moving thence to the Province of Quebec, then called Lower Canada, while his son, William, was a child. He died in that Province in 1832, the father of a large family ; E. P., the eldest son, never came to Canada, but settled and died in Massachusetts. Anna, the eldest daughter, married and remained in Connecticut, where she died. Leverett, Walter, Henry, William and Alexander, all born in Connecticut, and Erastus, John, Polly, Mary and Sarah, who were bom in Canada, all settled and died in the County of Stanstead, Quebec, where they were wealthy and prominent people. John, one of the sons, returned to Massachusetts, where he was manager of a cotton mill for many years, came back to Canada for a few years, and again went to Massachusetts, passing his last years in retirement, in Lowell, that State.
William Buckland, married, in 1828, Miss Clarissa Heath. They were united in the town of Hatley, by an English minister, and theirs was one of the first marriages in that region to be solemnized by a clergyman, most of the previous ones having been performed by civil authorities. Miss Heath, who was born in 1808, was the daughter of John Heath, an Englishman, who came first to the United States, and from there to Canada. Mr. Buckland and his wife settled on a farm in Barnston and began life in a small way, but later he added by purchase until he finally owned a large farm. In 1850 he joined the gold-seekers in California, and was successful in his mining ventures. Returning to Canada after eleven months, he resumed the occupation of farming, and was counted among the prosperous agriculturists of that section. Politically he was a stanch Liberal, and a very influential man; for twenty-five years he was judge of the commissioners’ court, and also for a long time was county councillor. Religiously he and his wife were Methodists.
Mr. Buckland passed away, honored and lamented, in February, 1886, and his wife followed him to the grave five years later. They were the parents of seven children: (1) John, our subject, was the eldest. (2) Erastus, born in the Province of Quebec, in 1831, is a retired farmer of the town of Coaticook, Quebec. He married Miss Carrie Wilcox, of Quebec, and has four children, namely - Pardon B. ; Clara B., the wife of J. Buckland ; Maria, wife of a Mr. Baldwin; and Mary, unmarried. (3) Jane, died when just entering womanhood. (4) Persis is the wife of John Converse, one of the wealthy retired men of the Province of Quebec, and they have four children - Charles E., of Grand Rapids, Michigan; Burton, living on the old homestead; John, of Quebec; Katie, the wife of J. Reraick, of Barnston, Quebec. (5) Norman, born at Barnston, married Miss Helen Bayton, of Canada, and they settled on a farm in Barford, where he died in 1871, leaving two daughters; Jennie, who married Rev. Frank Gordon, of New Jersey; and Annette, a successful teacher in a college in New Jersey. (6) Elvester is the deceased wife of Elias Batchelor, who lived near Quebec. (7) Hiram Osmand, bom in 1849, married and settled at the old homestead, where he still resides with his three children.
John Buckland grew up at the old home in Quebec, was sent first to the public schools near his home, afterward the high school at Stanstead, and finally became a teacher for some few years. In 1852, he, too, caught the gold fever and went to California, by way of the San Juan river, through Lake Nicaragua. After several years in the mining regions, during which time he had been quite successful in his prospecting, he returned to Canada by way of the Isthmus, afterward settling on a farm of 150 acres. He also embarked in business as a merchant, in Coaticook, Quebec. In 1880 he sold out and moved to the County of Essex, Ont., buying land from George Stephens, now of England, his present home on the Talbot road. The property had not been cleared then, but Mr. Buckland now has over 100 acres under cultivation, and has made his farm one of the best in the locality. In 1881 he built a large brick house, and five years later put up good barns and other necessary buildings.
In 1861 John Buckland was married to Miss Elvira Baldwin, born in the Province of Quebec, in 1843. Her parents, Levi and Lydia (Converse) Baldwin, came originally from Connecticut, and were among the prominent pioneer families of the Province of Quebec. Mrs. Buckland was a highly educated and cultured woman, for a number of years was a successful teacher in Quebec, and was known as a fine French scholar. Her beautiful life was cut off by an untimely death, Nov. 4, 1899. Mr. and Mrs. Buckland had four children: (1) Alice G., born in Quebec, March 12, 1863, was educated in the high school of Barnston, Quo., where she also taught for some years. She is now the wife of William T. Abercrombie, a ranchman of Montana, but is still a teacher. She has one daughter, Maud E., bom in Michigan, April 2, 1885. (2) Clara A., born in Quebec in August, 1864, is the widow of Robert Abercrombie, of Red Lodge, Montana, who died in East Helena, in January, 1900. Mrs. Abercrombie owns a Montana ranch in her own right. (3) William L., born in 1871, in the Province of Quebec, was graduated from the Essex high school, where he received a teacher’s certificate. He married Miss Maud Dennis, of Walkerville, and they settled on a part of his father’s homestead, but in 1900, he moved to Pontiac, Michigan, where he is engaged in business. He has one daughter, Eva, bom in Essex, in 1900. (4) Norman B., the youngest, born in the Province of Quebec, in October, 1873, was educated in the district and high schools of Essex, where he received a fine education. In 1894 he married Miss Louisa Ash, the estimable daughter of William Ash, one of the prominent farmers of Gosfield North ; they reside at the Buckland homestead, where he is manager of the farm. Three children have been born to them - Clara S., in 1898; John R., in August, 1899; and Norman P., Feb. 8, 1904.
Politically, John Buckland has always supported the old Liberal party; while he lived in the Province of Quebec, he was for a number of years one of the commissioners, and likewise served as clerk of the commissioners’ court, from the time of his father’s retirement, in 1864, until he removed from the township, in 1871. He was commissioner until 1880, when he came to the County of Essex. Since his residence in Gosfield he has filled the office of township clerk for four years. In 1886 he was appointed justice of the peace, in this county, and has filled the office ever since. In religious belief he is, as was also his wife, a member of the Methodist Church, and was one of the trustees and stewards of that congregation at Cottam. All his life he has been an enthusiastic church worker, and in Quebec was as prominent in religious affairs as he has been since in Gosfield. Well along in years, Mr. Buckland can rest from an active life with the consciousness that his work lies behind him, work well done and meriting the universal esteem paid to the doer.

Huntoon, Otis, (page 1337 ~ not listed in the index) Plainview farmer, is of remote Scotch descent. His father, Philip, was a native of New Hampshire, as was his mother, Hannah Morrison. Samuel Morrison, father of the latter, was a Revolutionary soldier. Otis Huntoon was born in Eastern Townships, Stanstead county, Canada, August 18, 1836. His parents soon after moved to Vermont, where he grew up on a farm, attending the common school and Derby academy. In 1858 he went to Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, and came thence to this state in 1862. He at first settled in Viola, Olmsted county, but two years later sold, and bought his present farm in section 31, Plainview. He now has 293 acres, and is engaged in mixed farming. His stock includes 35 cattle, 15 horses, and 45 hogs. During this spring's seeding he is working some half-blood Norman two- year-old colts that give promise of making heavy horses. Mr. Huntoon bears typical New England features of face and character. Like his father before him, he is a firm believer in the principles of Republicanism. He has served this town as assessor for seven years, and in 1875 and 1880 took its census. He has had two wives, neither of whom is now living. The first, Viola Chase, of Vermont, was joined to him in 1861, and died in November 1865, leaving two children. Nora, the eldest, will graduate from Union Normal school this year. Niles resides with his father. In August, 1867, Mr. Huntoon married Emma, nee Sharp, a widow of Dover.

While engaged in his usual home duties, he was seized with a heart attack and succumbed before even Mrs. Morrison was aware of his illness. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at St. James’ Church with Rev. W. W.
Smith officiating. Having expressed a wish to that effect, Rev. Canon Murray, of Three Rivers, a former pastor when in Hatley recently visited Mr. Morrison together with the present incumbent, Rev. W. W. Smith. Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Morrison, who is thus left alone with her aged father Mr. J. Cass, who has suffered the loss of his sight. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, Nov. 19, 1919, p. 11)Norman married Minnie Elizabeth Cass on 29 Apr 1896 in Hatley, Stanstead Co., PQ. Minnie was born on 25 Mar 1876 in Magog, Stanstead Co., PQ.

13. MRS. THOMAS ADAM, OF HATLEY
Hatley, June 23. — The community was shocked at learning of the passing of Mrs. Thomas Adam, which took place at her home about midnight on Sunday, June 11, after a few hours of serious illness. Mrs. Adam had been in failing health for some time, but was able to be about as usual until Sunday evening, when she was taken with a violent heart attack from which she did not rally. The deceased was born in Turner Town, now Kateville, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Cass. She was one of a large family only a few of whom are now living. One sister, Mrs. Mary Long, who spent some time in Hatley a few months ago, is now living with a son in California, and is in very frail health. Mrs. Adam as a young girl taught school in Barnston, where she met and married Mr. Norman Morrison. During his lifetime they made their home on a farm in Barnston. Some years after his death she married Mr. Thomas Adam, who passed away two years ago. A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Adam came to the village to live, where they made many friends by whom they will be greatly missed. Mrs. Adam was a faithful and active member of St. James’ Anglican Church. As long as her health permitted, she took an active part in the Guild, the W. A. and the choir of that church. The funeral took place Wednesday with prayers at the house at 2:30 p. m., with Rev. Jenson officiating, thence to St. James’ Church, where the funeral was held. She was borne to her last resting place by Messrs. Freeman Sutton, Morton Walker, Melvin Walker and Allan Wheeler. The hymn “Peace, Perfect Peace,” was sung by the choir. Many friends of long years standing came to pay their last respects to a valued friend and neighbour, and to follow the flower laden casket to the adjoining cemetery where she was buried beside her first husband. Mrs. Adam was tenderly cared for during her last, brief illness by Mr. and Mrs. Allan Wheeler, who had shown her much kindness in many ways during her declining years.
