The inscription on his gravestone reads: When Christ who is our life shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
He made his way from Ernestown for the Robertson Trail as near as he could to his own lands and then had to cut a short path from the bend of the river to where he decided his home would be. Like all pioneers, the Williams' had to learn how to shape logs for home, school and church. He became proficient in the making of furniture, shoes and all other articles needed on a farm for survival. Besides the farm work, John operated a shoemaking shop and a blacksmith shop. In 1850 he became the first Clerk and treasurer of the Township of St. Vincent, a position he held for many years. He was also a teacher and a judge.

Some church history: Brothers McNaughton and Jackson went west to Meaford. Brother Trout followed in the spring, and settled a few miles north of Meaford. Soon after this Bros. Layton, Jackson and Williams and their wives, met with Bro. Trout in their house to worship and break the loaf. The numbers were soon increased by newcomers, but were much scattered, it being a new country. In order to accommodate each other they changed their meetings from house to house, and sometimes in a schoolhouse.
[1852] Bro. Trout spent another season in Nottawasaga, and during his absence Bros. Layton and Williams developed into excellent speakers, and kept the church in a prosperous condition. Bros. D.L. Layton and J. Williams held the fort in Bro. Trout's absence, and kept the church in a flourishing condition, and by constant labour and such devotion to the cause, developed into fine common sense preachers. Meetings were held at Brother Williams, and Mrs. Williams was baptized in the Big Head river at Williams.

Meaford (ON) Monitor 26 May 1893: The home of Mrs. M. Laycock was the scene of rejoicing on Friday last, the event being the arrival home of three of her daughters, Mrs. J. Agar and two children of Estelline, South Dakota, and Mrs. Tupper and three children, of Riverton, Nebraska, both of whom have not been home for a number of years. The third daughter, Miss Anna Laycock, was home from Detroit for a short time last summer. Mrs. Laycock knew not of their coming, as the three daughters had arranged between themselves to give their mother and the rest of the family a surprise, and no doubt they were successful.
18 Oct 1895: Misses Hattie and Maggie Laycock, daughters of Mrs. M. Laycock, left on Wednesday for Estelline, South Dakota, where they intend to remain some time. Miss Annie Laycock returned lately from that country, and is with her mother, who will still be in a position to accommodate boarders as usual. Quite a number of friends were at the station to bid the travellers good-bye. | |

She took the third class teachers examination in Ontario in 1873. After attending Toronto Model School, where she received her teacher's certificate, she taught for six years in St. Vincent schools prior to her marriage. She resided in Jerome Twp, Gove Co. KS.
From an article regarding her 100th birthday: The small log cabin houses in which her family lived were far from the luxury offered by modern inventions, but reminiscing, the elderly lady proclaimed: "We had many good times then, for people seemed to think more of their homes in those days than they do now. Farm work kept everybody busy, but recreation, although not what it is today, wasn't lacking. The biggest celebrations were at Christmas and Dominion Day, when all the neighborhood families got together. Picnics and church activities also went toward consuming leisure hours." ...
She and Randall moved to Friend NE where they farmed, then to northwest of Riverton NE where they started a woolen mill. Emma (Emily?) Laycock came at the age of 11 to help Sarah take care of the family and to send money back to her mother in Canada, to help with the other children at home. Their sister Annie also worked at the mill. Randall later sold the mill and moved to Phillips Co. KS. In 1894 they moved again, this time to Gove Co. KS where Randall was a rancher with large grassland holdings along the Smoky Hill River. They developed a large ranch or ranches still being operated in 1982 by some of the Bentleys.
Mrs. Bentley's life as the wife of a farmer and rancher kept her busy with chores, in addition to raising her five children. A single near calamity which Mrs. Bentley relates took place at the Gove County homestead, which faces the Smokey River. One day the nearby dam, cunstructed only of mud those many years, broke and it looked as though a flood was on its way. As the water began to rise, Mrs. Bentley ran outside and put a stick in the ground. When the water covered the top of that stick, Mrs. Bentley recalls "I began to tie up some food in a hurry so that we could move on out of the way of danger." However, the water subsided and farm chores went on as usual. When asked how she had really liked the ranch life, Mrs. Bentley replied, "Well, I had to like it!" ...

Portland (OR) Weekly Monitor 14 Jul 1927 (quoted in Daniel Bentley's book): An abundance of long hair coiled over the base of her head is all that saved Miss Evalyn A. Bentley, home demonstration agent of Tucson, Ariz., from instant death when run down by a light delivery Ford truck at Thirty-seventh and Sandy Bouldvard last Thursday morning, June 16. As it was, only the prompt administrations of first aid by Dr. Ziegler, city physician, and excellent care at St. Vincent's hospital saved the life spared by the first impact, which crushed her skull and rendered her unconscious, in which state she lingered for hours. ...
Investigation of the accident developed that the driver was going at a rate faster than 25 miles per hour. Seeing Miss Bentley starting to cross the street, he honked his horn and then after she turned back out of the path in obedience to his warning, he swerved his car and ran her down. Throwing on his brakes to stop after the collision, the pavement showed he had skidded 33 feet. ... | |

| We have had a pleasant Winter. Last year was a very prosperous one for the farmers of this State, and the prospects are very favorable for a good crop this season - that is, the ground is in very fine condition. No doubt an increased acreage will be sown. Seeding is now well underway.
We find help very scarce and hard to get, consequently wages are high. We have room for thousands of settlers; but I must admit it is with feelings of sorrow that I read of so many leaving Ontario, and I charge much of the exodus to the M.P. Until it came in force, for my own part, I did well in Ontario. It may be asked, why come to a country just as highly protected as Canada. My reply is here we have free trade with about seventy millions, there with only about five millions.
We have many Canadians in this country. One part of it is designated "Little Canada," and it is very amusing to witness the caution and choice of language the politicians use while in that neighborhood. With very best wishes for the prosperity of the MONITOR. I am respectfully, &c., JOHN AGAR. | |
Springdale (WA) Reformer 23 Jun 1916 Mr. Agar was past 80 years of age, yet despite this fact never lost interest in public affairs, and was always especially interested in politics. At the republican county convention in Colville in April he was named as alternate to the state convention at North Yakima, and when it was found that there were two delegates who would be unable to attend and Mr. Agar was informed of this fact, he met the Stevens county delegation in Spokane and made the trip to the convention, appearing to stand and enjoy the hours of constant buttonholing and wirepulling as well as any of the younger delegates.
His full white beard made him a most conspicuous figure at the big meeting, and he was soon known as the "patriarch" of the Stevens county delegation, a sobriequet by which he has long been known in his home town. | |

Aunt Emma Will [sister of Willis Tupper] helped Mother make her wedding dress. Then Mother and Dad wouldn't tell her when they were going to be married. The dress had a pleated skirt. Aunt Emma tacked the pleats so they would stay in until the big day. ... When she came home [from a trip to Riverton] she would look to see if Mother had worn the dress yet.
One weekend Uncle Leonard drove down ... to visit Aunt Emma. Aunt Emma was to go to Riverton ... Sunday to be ready for work Monday morning. She thought Uncle Leonard's horse was tired from the drive down. She asked Dad if they could take his team and top buggy to go to Riverton. Dad hitched up Uncle Leonard's horse to an open buggy and he and Mother went toward Campbell to Goudies. He must have been a minister or justice of the peace or something. They got the knot tied. Dad must have had the license in his pocket. Mother tacked the pleats back in her dress and they thought it a big joke that they could outsmart Aunt Emma. (The Family Tree p.51) | |

The Tuppers moved to Nebraska from New York in 1877 for health reasons for Will's mother Harriot. Will was a farmer. He and Emma retired from farming in 1915 and moved into Riverton.
Will's first homestead was in the Spring Valley community, just north of the Spring Valley School House. Some four years after they were married, Emily and Will sold this farm for a farm on Thompson Creek a mile north of the site of the Bentley mill. There wasn't a bridge across the creek then; they just forded the stream. Emily later recalled:

One very pleasant afternoon I took ... our three children [and four neighbor girls] ... to a plum patch ... about one mile west of the creek. I started out with a team of horses and a lumber wagon. We hadn't gone far when a black cloud burst suddenly over us. ... We ran in [to a neighbor's house] and stayed until the rain was over, about 30 minutes, then hurriedly started for home.
When I drove down in the creek, one horse didn't want to go in any deeper, so she lay down in the water. I called Tupper. He was watching for us and came running. They grabbed the harness off the horses and the stubborn one ran home. We took the other and it carried us across the stream with Tupper hanging to its neck, first the children, then me, then the girls. The last trip the water came up to his armpits and he couldn't swim a stroke. ... (The Family Tree p.52) | |

On arriving at the feeding place the load of hay was backed to the fence, the ropes passed up at the front of the rack, over the load and over into the feed lot where a team was hitched to this improvised sling. Mrs. Tupper was driving the team used to pull the wagon. Mr. Tupper had stepped from the hay to the frame work of the rack at the front.
At the time of the accident, the rope had become entangled with the rack in some unexplained manner, bringing the front end of the rack up with the load. Mr. Tupper called but too late to prevent the accident. He was thrown over into the feed lot upon frozen ground where he sturck upon his head, just above the right eye. The skull was crushed, causing instant death. ... (The Family Tree p.16) | |

Soon after he was married, he went to Wyoming where he had taken a homestead north of Upton and began constructing buildings on the homestead. These were built of logs he had cut in a nearby timber claim. This was a newly developing area and life was primitive. His wife, Edith, joined him before the log house was completed and they lived for a short time with a neighbor couple. Three of their children were born in the log house.
In 1920, the family moved back to the home place north of Riverton NE. In 1941, they moved to a farm they had purchased northwest of Red Cloud on Indian Creek. After their son Milton's marriage, they moved to Red Cloud where they lived until after Bryan's death. Bryan drove back and forth from town to the grain and livestock operation that had been his lifelong occupation.

He homesteaded on an acreage near Sanish ND and spent the winter months with his parents in Lowell NE. After he and Mabel were married, the family lived on several rented farms, first near Ringgold NE. In 1932 they moved to Logan County to a farm southwest of Stapleton, where they were engaged in farming and ranching for 28 years. In 1960 they built a home in Stapleton.
He was a farmer. They were no exception to the struggles of farmers during the depression and drought years of the 1930s. When they ran out of feed, they had to sell most of their cows and all of their hogs. The milk cows, the only ones left, had to be herded in the dried up fields and at the roadside to graze on what food they could find. The cream check was used to buy gasoline and keep the car running. They had to buy groceries almost entirely with money received from selling eggs. Turkey raising was another means of income during those years since the birds could subsidize their diet with grasshoppers, of which there was no shortage. Hungry coyotes lurked in the hills and to keep them from destroying the flock someone had to be up about 4 a.m. to accompany the voarzious birds on their pursuit of hoppers. Guy picked corn for 3 cents a bushel for a neighbor who was fortunate enough to get part of a crop. He also did roadwork when he could and cut wood to supplement their meager income.
In the late 1930s economic conditions improved and farming and raising livestock again became profitable. They were able to buy the farm they had been renting and lived there until 1960.
Guy served on the school Board at Banner school near Stapleton NE when his children were small. From 1964 to 1967 he served on the Selective Service Board. He has also served on the Village Board and the Park Board in Staptleton NE.
