4016	D At Wilbur as a result of a mine accident, Mr. John Warrington, of Pratt's Crs. Burial on Friday last at Playfair cemetery. He leaves a wife and eight children. Aged 48 years. May 20th. Killed at Wilbur The dangers of the mine have again been brought to our notice in the death of Mr. John Warrington of Pratt's Corners. He was an employee at the Wilbur Iron Mine underground and had wrought theire for many years under the Caldwell firm when they operated a decade ago. Jack was a skilful miner and his advice was often sought as sto methods of working. It was while instruxting a boy how to work at a certain job that he was stricken down. The roof and walls required scaling. Jack was in the act of hammering when a mass of ore weighting about fifty pounds became dislodged and fell with fearful velocity and effect a dstance of twenty feet, cleaving the poor fellow's head and killing him instantly. A swift and terrible fate for one who had been so bright, kind and honest. He was a miner whose rugged exterior enclosed the mind and heart of one of nature's noblemen. Good humor constantly bubbled to the surface and one felt all was right with the world under such a genial canopy. The funeral took place at Playfair on Friday at 2 o'clock, Rev. T.L. Aborn officiating. Mr. Warrington leaves a wife and eight children. The Lanark Era Lanark, Ontario, Canada 27 May 1908, pg. 1 Name: John George Warrington Gender: Male Age: 50 Birth Date: abt 1858 Birth Place: Bathurst, Ontario Death Date: 20 May 1908 Death Place: Lanark, Ontario, Canada Religion: Episcopal Cause of Death: Killed by falling rock *********************************** https://www.ghosttowns.com/canada/ontario/wilbur.html Wilbur was founded on its iron ore deposits. The first iron mine was opened nearby in 1880 by the Caldwell family. They also operated a steam sawmill. The Kingston and Pembroke Railway (later called the Kick and Push Railway) arrived at Wilbur in 1884 with a spur run to the mine. The post office was then opened that same year. Wilbur was 'the' success story of the Kick and Pull since it produced 125,000 tonnes of ore from 1886-1900. By late 1880 the population was at about 250 with a church, school, carpenter, blacksmith and shoemaker. With the closure of the mine in 1911 the town went bust. The post office finally closed in 1913. Driving in to Wilbur these days it is quite easy to imagine where homes and fields would have existed. Though there are only 3 homes still occupied, the area has not been totally reclaimed by the forest like some of the other Canadian Shield ghost towns. https://www.mindat.org/loc-244646.html see also https://www.ghosttownpix.com/ontario/towns/wilbur.html he arrival of the railway in the mid nineteenth century, led to a huge boom in Ontario's mining industry. Now that cheap, quick transportation was actually available, mining in remote and formerly inaccessible areas finally became economical. In 1881, the Kingston and Pembroke Railway, known as the KPR and later as the 'kick and push', arrived in eastern Ontario ready to tackle the rugged hills. The mining companies established small communities around areas that were thought to contain rich deposits. Although most of the yields ended up being quite modest, the Wilbur Mine turned out to be an exception. Wilbur stood out as the success story on the old K & P, producing 125,000 tons of iron ore between 1886 and 1900. Boyd Caldwell along with his sons William and Thomas first established the iron mines at Wilbur on January 5, 1880. After working them for about a year, they leased a portion to the Bethlehem Iron and Manufacturing Company of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who carried out the bulk of the mining. The vein was considered to be of the very best magnetic ore. It varied in width from 10 to 30 feet and was assayed by a Professor Chapman at 65 per cent metallic iron. In addition to mines, the Caldwells also operated a steam sawmill, that provided employment to 50 men. The K & P finally arrived in Wilbur in 1884. A spur was run from the main line directly to Lot 4, Concession 12 in Lavant Township, where the mines were located. The small community became official when Tom Caldwell opened a post office in 1884 named Wilbur Station. By 1886, the mines were being run by Kingston & Pembroke Iron Mines with Daniel Wiggins as the supervisor. By the late 1880s, Wilbur had grown beyond a simple mining community to a sizeable village of about 250 people. It contained a Union church, a school and a number of tradesmen including James Kelly, a carpenter, Daniel Tait, a blacksmith and Robert Wait, a shoemaker. Tom Caldwell closed the post office in 1890 but otherwise things carried on. Residents had to travel to nearby Lavant Station until 1901 when the Richardson family reopened the post office under the name of Wilbur. The Wilbur mine operated until 1911. Since almost everyone in town worked for the mine, the community was abandoned after the mine shut down. The post office closed in 1913 and recent floods have obliterated almost all traces of the community. However, if you travel along the old KPR rail bed, you'll find signs of Wilbur coming back to haunt you. The railway station sign, a building thought to be the rail station and a humorous sign post announcing your arrival in Wilbur still remain.	Warrington, John George (I29713)

4020	Dad and Mother were living with Gord and had bought a new stove in January 1926. "The stove was new but the chimney was old and in bad shape. Mother was home alone when a fire started in the chimney and Mother couldn't get it out. The neighbours came, but having had little experience with fires and remembering that a dresser was full of bullets brought back from France as souvenirs. In fact I think the bullets had started to go off. So only a few pieces of furniture was carried out and it was badly water soaked and harmed by sitting out in the snow. But they rented the farm just south of the old house and moved in and began to farm the two farms."	Miller, John Hugh (I7449)

4022	Dad's database had Mary Ann. Mom's notes, based on Grandma's notes indicate 'Elizabeth' Gillespie, from near Brockville, ON. It also indicates that they were married in Caleraine, Ireland and later lived in Pennsylvania where Grandma's Grandmother had a large dry goods store. It was thought they were United Empire Loyalists. Her Grandfather had been in the American War, and subsequently was in poor health and died at age 49 of lung trouble. name indicated elsewhere as Mary A. Gillespie	Gillespie, Mary Ann (I4194)

Wilbur was founded on its iron ore deposits. The first iron mine was opened nearby in 1880 by the Caldwell family. They also operated a steam sawmill. The Kingston and Pembroke Railway (later called the Kick and Push Railway) arrived at Wilbur in 1884 with a spur run to the mine. The post office was then opened that same year. Wilbur was 'the' success story of the Kick and Pull since it produced 125,000 tonnes of ore from 1886-1900. By late 1880 the population was at about 250 with a church, school, carpenter, blacksmith and shoemaker. With the closure of the mine in 1911 the town went bust. The post office finally closed in 1913. Driving in to Wilbur these days it is quite easy to imagine where homes and fields would have existed. Though there are only 3 homes still occupied, the area has not been totally reclaimed by the forest like some of the other Canadian Shield ghost towns.

he arrival of the railway in the mid nineteenth century, led to a huge boom in Ontario's mining industry. Now that cheap, quick transportation was actually available, mining in remote and formerly inaccessible areas finally became economical. In 1881, the Kingston and Pembroke Railway, known as the KPR and later as the 'kick and push', arrived in eastern Ontario ready to tackle the rugged hills.

The mining companies established small communities around areas that were thought to contain rich deposits. Although most of the yields ended up being quite modest, the Wilbur Mine turned out to be an exception. Wilbur stood out as the success story on the old K & P, producing 125,000 tons of iron ore between 1886 and 1900.

Boyd Caldwell along with his sons William and Thomas first established the iron mines at Wilbur on January 5, 1880. After working them for about a year, they leased a portion to the Bethlehem Iron and Manufacturing Company of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who carried out the bulk of the mining. The vein was considered to be of the very best magnetic ore. It varied in width from 10 to 30 feet and was assayed by a Professor Chapman at 65 per cent metallic iron. In addition to mines, the Caldwells also operated a steam sawmill, that provided employment to 50 men.

The K & P finally arrived in Wilbur in 1884. A spur was run from the main line directly to Lot 4, Concession 12 in Lavant Township, where the mines were located. The small community became official when Tom Caldwell opened a post office in 1884 named Wilbur Station. By 1886, the mines were being run by Kingston & Pembroke Iron Mines with Daniel Wiggins as the supervisor.

By the late 1880s, Wilbur had grown beyond a simple mining community to a sizeable village of about 250 people. It contained a Union church, a school and a number of tradesmen including James Kelly, a carpenter, Daniel Tait, a blacksmith and Robert Wait, a shoemaker. Tom Caldwell closed the post office in 1890 but otherwise things carried on. Residents had to travel to nearby Lavant Station until 1901 when the Richardson family reopened the post office under the name of Wilbur.

The Wilbur mine operated until 1911. Since almost everyone in town worked for the mine, the community was abandoned after the mine shut down. The post office closed in 1913 and recent floods have obliterated almost all traces of the community. However, if you travel along the old KPR rail bed, you'll find signs of Wilbur coming back to haunt you. The railway station sign, a building thought to be the rail station and a humorous sign post announcing your arrival in Wilbur still remain.

Dad and Mother were living with Gord and had bought a new stove in January 1926. "The stove was new but the chimney was old and in bad shape. Mother was home alone when a fire started in the chimney and Mother couldn't get it out. The neighbours came, but having had little experience with fires and remembering that a dresser was full of bullets brought back from France as souvenirs. In fact I think the bullets had started to go off. So only a few pieces of furniture was carried out and it was badly water soaked and harmed by sitting out in the snow. But they rented the farm just south of the old house and moved in and began to farm the two farms."

Dad's database had Mary Ann. Mom's notes, based on Grandma's notes indicate 'Elizabeth' Gillespie, from near Brockville, ON. It also indicates that they were married in Caleraine, Ireland and later lived in Pennsylvania where Grandma's Grandmother had a large dry goods store. It was thought they were United Empire Loyalists. Her Grandfather had been in the American War, and subsequently was in poor health and died at age 49 of lung trouble.
