BENJAMIN WILLSON A former well-known Winghainite. Berjamin Willson, Chief Inspector of the Beek of Hamilton, was torn at St. Juan's, DeeidlesexOounty, Ontario, on the 17th of April, 1544 Bis mare the late Crowell Willson, represented East Middlesex ni Parliament, both be- fore and after Conteleration, his first election being for Middlesex (then oompnsiug the counties of Elgin and Middlesex) in Canadian Assembly in 1851. Mr. Crowell Willson's grandfather was a United Empire Loyalist, his hath plane being New Jersey, and he was a member of tae Parliament of Upper Canada, representing the Districts of Niagara in 1798. Benjamin Willson's mother was Maria, daughter of Robert Jackson, one of the pioneer settlers of the township of Loudon. Benjamin Willson's first venture in business was in a woollen mill in St. John's. Tne mill had been built and operated by his tether, long before the time of railroads and was patronized by all the settled conntry around Lon- don. In 1871 Mr. Willson sold' out the.mill and moved to Wingham, where for some years he was a partner of the late Edwin Kent, in a general store In 1875 he retired from the general store business, and with his brother, R. H. Willson, opened a private bank, which was the pioneer bank of Wingham. This business continued nihil the 1st of July, 18S2. The Bank of Hamilton having some time previously opened a branch in Wingham, Mr. Willson was offered and accepted the agency and has remained with the Bauk of Hamil- ton ever since. At the time of Mr. Willson's arrival in Wingham, it was a small unincor- porated village, a part of the Mu..iotpality of Turnberry. He was requested by the electors to offer himself at the approaching elections, December, 1E71, as oaudidate for the office of Reeve of the Municipality, and was. elected. In 1872 Mr. Willson was again elected, and during the following year Wingham was incorporated as a village; the followiug year he was elected the first Reeve, which office he held until Wingham was incorporated as a town in 1878, when he was elected Mayor. This position he occupied for the follow- ing two or three year's when he retired. During Mr. Willson regime the present publio school was built, and a sys- tem of waterworks inaugurated. In the early days of the Municipality, con- siderable attention was paid to the planting of trees on the streets, and to a great extent Wingham owes its now beautiful appearance to the encourage- ment then given to tree planting. In 1896 Mr. Willson moved to Winnipeg and opened a branch of the Bank of Hamilton in that pity. He occupied the position of agent for two years following and has since then been engaged in the work of inspection and is now the Bank's Chief Inspector, with headquarters at Winnipeg. Since the opening of the Bank of Hamilton in Winnipeg 42 agencies have been opened in the North West and British Columbia, all of which are ander Mr. Willson's superviston. On the 2nd of July next Mr. Willson will have completed his 25th year with the Bank, when he will likely retire and will probably make his home in Southern California. While the west has been Mr. Willson's home for the pist ten years, he has made yearly visits to Wingham, and he stul retains in his heart a tender spot for the old ftienda in this vicinity.
