Who la knows se the Hero of
Batocke, and Grandson of • Vet-
eras of the War of 1$1L
On the crest of the lefty bluff that
overlooks the waters of lake Coterie
to the westward et the town of Port
Hope stand two or three Ane ea
I ra.a1ona, built la the English . t
and surrounded by spacious, w
I parks. They are k the prop•rte
i of wealthy Am.rleams, bat years age.
1 whoa they were first built, toy
Iformed the landed estates of • 11
group of aristocratic English s•tUNi
Through propinquity mad inter -mar -
triage the families became cloeoty
associated. For years the occupied
a foremost place sot alone In Port
Hope but In the conutry at largs
Then In process of time e
came about. Some died, some nal
grated to otber parte, until t
'practically none are left in the of
town -a story familiar enough to t
people of most of the smaller can
tres of Ontario.
To one of these old Port Hope
families belongs Lieut. -Col. Vtctot
Arthur Seymour Williams, whose
name has become well-known to Can
*diens since the outbreak of the war
As adjutant -general at headquarters
as .amp con.mandant at �'alcartler
t and now as a . alued omcer of the
j first contingent, who has already
bees under are at the frost, he has
hero for months prominently In the
,. iblle eye. He was born forty-eight
years ago at Penryn Park, the more
Westerly of the group of estates al-
ready referred. to. and spent hes boy-
hood and youth amid their pleasant
surroundings.
The Williams family was founded
in Canada by John Tucker Williams,
an omcer of the Royal Navy, who was
sent out during the war of 1(112-15
to take eommand of a gunboat on
Labe Canute. Atter the war was
over be decided to remain In Canada
and accordingly settled at Port Hope.
HP was again active in a military
way- In 1337 when he took command
of the Durham regiment, which had
been raised to assist In quelling the
rebellfbn-.of that year. When Port
Hope was given its first town council
he was elected ..mayor. and later he
was elected member of Parliament
for the riding of East Durham In the
Parliament of irntted Canada.
Ht$ eldest son, and ter father of
Lieut. -Col: Victor Williams, was Ar-
thur T. H. Williams, who was born
to 1137. Colonel 'Arthur Williams is
known to fame as the hero of 13a-
toche, and a (Inc monument to his
memory stands in Ibe market square
at Port Hope. A IawTer.by' profes-
sion, he served his town in many ca-
pacities. At confederation he was
the first member elected by East
Durham to the. Provincial Legisla-
ture, and In 1373 he was returned
to the House of Commons. He rose
. to be the commanding omcer of the
46th Regiment. seeing service dur-
ing the Fenian invasion and again
during the Northwest rebellion.
The history of Canada contains the
story of Col. Williams' gallant charge
at Batoche, which practically ended
the rebellion. He bad his detractors,•
and what brave man since the world
began, has not? But those who
knew hint beet have only the highest
praise for him as a gentleman and
Moldier. His death occurred shortly
atter the battle, not from wounds,
b from fitness brought on by the
' exposure, aggravated by the treat-
ment he had received from Jealous
superior omcers.
1 A worthy son of a worthy father
is the present Colonel Williams. H4
is a graduate of the Royal Militate
College and a former inspector of
the Northwest Mounted Pollee. it
1893 be was given a commission til
the Royal Canadian Dragoons, rtstne
tr1907 to be the commanding omeet
the regiment. For a time he re-
lded fe Toronto as commandant 0f
the Royal School of Cartier, being
later promoted to the post of edJs-
tant-general at headquarters, where
• was stationed at the outbreak of
ostf11tie.. He saw active service le
Hoath Mutes, was twice mentioned
in despatches and gained the Queen'6
Medal with five clasps A tkorongb-
