• Note*: 11 November 1920; Memorial Park, Brighton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "Lest We Forget"; Another Armistice Day has passed; and, that the memory of the real day may be kept, it was fittingly observed in Brighton. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, it was an impressive sight to see the pupils and teachers of the public school show their respect for what the day stands for. Headed by the principal, G. S. Langdon, they formed a procession and marched to the Memorial Park where they formed a line on two sides. Here they stood and sang "God Save the King" - all saluting the flag on the Town Hall. Following this, Stella Nelson recited "Flanders" and then they returned to their duties, having silently acknowledged their obligation to those whom the flag and part represent."

They don't write beautiful obituaries like this one any more...pity..the information contained is a treasure. Note that paragraph separations are my own to make it easier to read.LRSinclair]; Brighton Ensign, May 13, 1904. On Friday night, April 22nd 1904, at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Albert Smith, there passed away one of the oldest residents of Brighton, in the person of Henry Nix. The subject of this sketch was born in the Village of Brighton, on November 22nd, 1819, when that village was in its primitive state, consisting of a few scattered buildings. He was the eldest of a family of four children, namely: Henry, George, John and Almira Nix; the last three names having departed this life many years ago. As a boy, Henry Nix learned the trade of a blacksmith, in Consecon, and afterwards returned to Brighton Township and Village where he worked his trade. He was also a contractor; and for nearly twenty years acted as Constable of the Village of Brighton. In the year 1840 he married Harriet Ann Wells, daughter of Jesse and Azuba Wells. A family of ten children was the issue, their names being: Mary Eliza (deceased,) Edwin Walter, Albert, Jesse, Marriet Clarinda, Emma Amelia, Olcott Henry, Frederick Hastings (deceased,) William Escuit and Norman. During life Mr and Mrs Henry Nix were members of the Methodist Church. Their wedded life extended through a period of fifty-five years, and then his beloved wife, in the year 1895, was called away home, at the age of seventy-five. It is safe to say that Henry Nix was the oldest man living who was born and who died in the Township of Brighton. He may well be classed as one of the Pioneers, who by their strength and industry, cleared the wildwoods and reared the buidings that gave to Canada the appearance of civilization. We believe he has gone to his Great Reward in peace and happiness. His watchword at the last was "Pray Often." taken from ancestry.com, Jun 1 2016, posted by Mama Sinclair, Feb 3 2016.³
