Goderich Township' in 1854. He died
in 1863 and his tombstone is in the
cairn in $unshine Cemetery, as
Peter Cantlin. Five of his sons,
John, Peter (Leon Cantelon's

William once farmed. in Morris.
Peter farmed in that township
from about 1875 until his death in
1913, and his son-in-law, Thomas
Pierce, husband of the late Annie
Cantelon, still resides there. Arthur
Cantelon's daughter Margaret (Mrs
Ed Pollard ) is a resident of Brus-
sels Leon Cantelon's father, Robert
John Cantelon, lived in the same
township for a few years around
1875-1882 and some Of his family
or descendants have lived almost
continuously in Turnberry Town-
ship or Wingliam since, within a
mile or so of Morris.
Information concerning Morris as
it appeais in,Mr, Cantelon's hook

The 'County of Huron Gazetteer

ship is bounded north by the Town-
