Lot Seven
David Oughten settled on Lot 7 in 1849'. The
p rice paid
was v75, and by 1851 he had his deed for the lot, and owned
it till he died in 1866.. He was township assessor in 1854 at
a. salary of._£11." .From -.his --death until -1878'41 e-farm"was
occupied by members of his family. George Rock, a native
of Germany, bought . from ' Oughtens. His grandfather,
George Rock, was 'theowner of a glass, factory inthe
old land, and a glass beer jug made" in this factory is . still:.
a prized:. possession in the family. After George's death his
seven sons'cariae to ,Canada. This George on Lot 7and 'an
other brother owned the Rock sawmill in Wilmot Township,
Waterloo County, and later lived in Logan before he came
to this lot, where he died of cancer in the late 1880's. His
first wife was a Miss Eickmeir, and his second, Mrs: Sigman.
She, with some of the family., after George's, death, went
West. -Burning shingles from theDublinfire in 1879 ignited
and e .
rn d the barn on tliis. farm that day. Rock built the
barns and large brick house, still on the lot, while he, owned
it.. He was followed 'by his brother, George R. Rock, who.
also came here from,; Logan.: ,
The Rocks had followed a . common German custom of
giving the same name' to two in a family.. One thing-remem-
bered
hingremembered about George ;A Rock is that -"he wore earrings: The.
reason for this was to distinguish the . one brother from the
other.
George A. was .also';`twice -married;and by the first
marriage•had a family of thirteen. These were: Carrie (Mrs.
Adam <Cook), ;Kate . (Mrs, John :Wieterson), Mary (Mrs.
William Eizerman),• George and Mike, who died of diph-
theria while they lived in Logan, John, Louie, Charlie, Ernie, '1
Jennie (Mrs, Edmund Scl'ineider; later Mrs Adam Fletcher), !I
William, George and Margaret (Mrs, Harry: Ackersviller).
His first ,wife was Friedericka Hartwick, and, his ;second,
1VIrs Schweitzef. •-From here he went. to Stratford,-wherehe--
died in 1914. Others who had the farm after Rock were
Edward Robinson, . George Forester,. t;heinold Rock; W.
Fergus Levy and Carl . Steinbach. .
In July, 1860, Oughton sold one -,fifth of an .t'cre'off the
northeast corner for $20 to the tiustees of Union S.S.No

In` April, .1875, a meeting "was held in the Hicks House,
Mitchell; to consider. `dissolving this school section.- 'Among

decided to dissolve. the Union, and the Councils of Hibbert
and 1J'ogan Townships were instructed to rearrange their
school, sections.
