DEATH OF "UNCLE JOHNNY" LUCAS

Death is rapidly thinning the ranks of the hardy band of pioneers, who endured
the privations and hardships incident to the early settlement of Western
Ontario, and laid the foundation for the prosperity and privileges their
descendants now enjoy. The present generation knows very little of the trials
experienced and the difficulties overcome by the early settlers in their
efforts to make homes for themselves in the unbroken forests of the west, and
the courage and energy displayed should cause their memory to be revered
for all time. But few remain who could relate so vividly, or had experienced
more adventures than the subject of this sketch. Mr. John Lucas, of Brooke, who
passed peacefully to his reward on Thursday April 13th at the good old age of
98. Born in the County of Carlow, Ireland in 1801 he came with his parents to
Canada in 1815, landing in Canada after a two months voyage in a sailing
vessel. After a short residence in Montreal the family moved to the township
of Beckwith, near Ottawa where they remained for some years. Mr. Lucas being
employed on the construction of the Rideau Canal. On 22 December 1820 at the
age of 19, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Saunders, his faithful
partner in life who died on 1 April 1895, aged 93 the aged couple having the
rare privilege of celebrating their diamond wedding. The deceased came to Brooke
64 years ago, locating on Lot 12, Con 14, where he continuously resided to the
time of his death. When he located in Brooke there were only four settlers in
the township: Messrs. Watson, Larratt, Jno. Kelly and Jock Bryce, all now
departed. Sarnia was the nearest market town and was reached through a blazed
trail through the bush. Westminster was the closest milling point. The journey
was made with OX teams and required three days. London was no larger than
Warwick Village at that time and Mr. Lucas was offered the ground on which the
London Court House now stands for 34 dollars. The deceased comes from a long
lived race, his father being 87 and his mother was over 80 at their deaths.
Until the last few months he was a remarkably active man, and his mind was as
bright and his body as sound as a man half his years. Eight members of the
family survive, the eldest son, Henry having died a few years ago. The family
in order of age are: Mrs. Boddy of Buell Michigan, Andrew of Brooke, Thomas
of Plympton, Mrs. Black of Bay City Michigan, James, Robert and Mrs. John Kidd
of Brooke, John of Enniskillen, William of Gladwin Michigan. The descendants
include 81 grandchildren and 148 great-grandchildren. The funeral on Sunday
morning was the largest ever seen in Brooke, over 200 rigs following the
remains to their last resting place in the English Cemetery 6th line Brooke.
(St. James). Five sons and Mr. John Kidd, son-in-law acted as pallbearers.
The Rev. J. Downie B.D. preached the funeral sermon from Isa. XLIII, 10 "Ye are
my witnessess saith the Lord Almighty."
