VETERANS HELD ANNUAL MEETING And so Wednesday’s celebration closes a chapter and yet opens ano- ther in the interesting life story of an interesting people. May they have many more such happy re-unions. “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentialsLijerty; In All Things, Charity” The families settled principally in Markham Township and nearby cen- ters and while found in all walks of life have been especially active in the_ Agricultlral deyelqpm‘en}: John Nicholas Stiver took up land on Lot 20, Con. 5, Markham and re- ceived the Crown Patent for the farm in 1804. This farm of one hun- dred acres has always remained in the Stiver family and is at present owlied. by L. Stiver. Their wagons were made of‘matchâ€" ed lumber, caulked at the seams so that the wagon box really formed a boat. When the expedition came to a stream that could not be forded the box was lifted off the wagon gear, reloaded and towing the gear behind it was‘ floated across the stream. The Don and Humber Rivers were safely crqssegl inAthis way_. Wm. Berezy, the leader of the ex- pedition had previously supervised the building of a road from Phila- delphia to Lake Ontario and now again under his supervision a wagon track was blazed through the forest from York (now Toronto) to Mark- ham, which Winding through the trees marked the beginning of Yonge Street. Over this primitive road they set out with their families and household effects. There were no roads and supplies had to be procured from the South of the Lakes. Some few articles could be got at Niagara but nearly everything they required was brought from New York State. In the year 1792, Joe Stiver, dis- satisfied with the high taxes and re- ligious ties that he was forced to live under in Hanover, Germany, deâ€" cided to migrate to a new world and set sail for USA. arriving in Phila- delphia after thirteen weeks voyage. This was the beginning of the migra- tion of sixty-four families that planned to locate in the Putteney Settlement of New York. John Graves Simcoe, then GovernoroGen- eral of Canada desirous of bringing sturdy German settlers to Can- ada, offered free land and in the face of great difficulties they made their way to Markham, foll- owing the Hudson River up the Gen: esee Valley around the end of Lake Ontario and thence to Markham. It is interesting to note the hisâ€" torical romance of this family, who by their industry have added greatly to the successful development of Markham Township. Â¥ A _ A very welcome guest-was Mr. A. J. H. Eckhardt who presented a beau- tiful silver cream and' sugar on tray for a lucky draw to the ladies. ‘Mrs. E. J. Stiver held the winning num- ber and Mr. Eckhardt, in his usual happy manner, made the presenta- tion. During the afternoon special honor was paid to Miss Arabella Heming- way who had the honor of being the eldest representative in attendance with Mrs. Leaters a close second. A lovely flower vase was presented to Miss Hemingway. ' Wednesday was a gala day for the Stiver Clan when the re-union was held at Crosby Memorial Park, Unâ€" ionville. The delightful weather conditions made possible a large at- tendance that came from Mt. Albert, Stouffville, Aurora, Newmarket, Sutâ€" ton, Toronto, Markham, Unionville and surrounding district. Bountifully laden tables were set in the rink building- where approximately 200 people partook of delightful repast. The varied program arranged for the afternoon gave s‘oecial enjoyment and included sports. baseball, races etc. The horseshoe pitching contest for the Stiver championship was pon- ular, Ed. Stiver, Mt. Albert and R. L. Stiver, Unionville winning- the honors with F. L. Stiver and Robt. Stiver runners-up. All report an especially enjoyable day and the dance in the evening in the rink brought to a conclusion the happy association. _ Stiver Family Re-union Held Al Unionviile Passed to Jr. II on written Ex- aminations-Florence Edwards, Henry Fish, Bert Hunt, Muriel Megdonal, Elinor Pattenden.
