Sometime in June 1843, Isaac Dennis, his wife, Mary Siles, and a family, G. Bearss, moved from Welland County to South Dorchester. Isaac Dennis settled on Lot 15 in the 7th concession. The trip from Welland was made with oxen. They went up the Centre Road but from this road to the lot was solid bush and it took four days to get a road in on the concession line.

Peter was born in Humberstone township on the 30th day of December 1842. On reaching his ( )th year, he went to his uncle at Talbotville to learn the blacksmithing. Here he remained for 6 years and then came home to start a shop on the farm. But love was in the air and on the 29th of June 1866, he married Charlotte Fysh, who was born near Nilestown. Then on the following October 1st, they came to Lyons where they made a home and built a shop which he operated until 1924, two years before he died, January 8th 1926. His wife predeceased him October 10th 1920.

THE DENNIS NAME IN SOUTH DORCHESTER

Mr. Oscar Dennis, of Lyons, gave the following information relative to his parents, who were pioneers of S. Dorchester, to the Historical Organization:

Sometime in June 1843, Isaac Dennis, his wife, Mary Siles, and a family, G. Bearss, moved from Welland County to South Dorchester. Isaac Dennis settled on lot 15 in the 7th concession. The trip from Welland was made with oxen. They went up the Centre Road but from this road to the lot was solid bush and it took four days to get a road in on the concession line.

Isaac Dennis reared a family of 8 boys and 3 girls, the fifth son being the late Peter Dennis, blacksmith at Lyons, and the father of Oscar Dennis, who operates a chopping mill on the old premises. Peter was born in Humberstone township on the 30th day of December 1842. On his reaching his 14th? year, he went to his uncle at Talbotville to learn the blacksmithing. Here he remained for 6 years and then came home to start a shop on the farm. But love was in the air and on the 29th of June 1866, he married Charlotta Fysh, who was born near Nilestown. Then on the following October 1st, they came to Lyons where they made a home and built a shop which he operated until 1924, two years before he died, Jan. 8th, 1926. His wife predeceased him October 10th, 1920."

NOTE: The above is just one of a series of articles prepared by the South Dorchester Historical Society in the 1929 - 1930's period, which were printed in the Aylmer Express. The majority of these articles are too long to reprint in the newsletter, so a publication is being planned once the extraction from the newspaper is completed for this period.

Isaac Dennis was born on 20 August 1839. He died on 9 June 1864, at age 24, in South Dorchester Township, Elgin, Ontario, Canada.

Isaac William Dennis was born in March 1916. He died on 1 October 1950, at age 34, in Warwick Township., Lambton, Ontario, Canada. He was buried in Arkona Mennonite Cemetery, Arkona, Warwick Township, Lambton, Ontario, Canada.

. Isaac was killed as a result of a car accident; his brother 'Manny' was in the car with him and died some 3 or 4 weeks later as a result of injuries. The funeral/burial was arranged by Isaac's sister Lola Dennis & her husband William Haigh.

DENNIS FUNERAL RITES HELD; FIVE CRASH VICTIMS IMPROVE
(The Canadian Observer, Tuesday, Oct 3, 1950)

Funeral services were conducted today for Isaac Dennis, 34, of Warwick Twp., one of two fatally injured in Sunday morning's automobile collision on fog-blanketed Highway 7. Funeral arrangements for John H. Casemore, 45, of Detroit, were being completed at Stratford today; services will be held
tomorrow. Meanwhile, the condition of Mr. Casemore's widow, Clara Casemore, 44; their son,
John Casemore Jr, 24, driver of one of the cars, Mrs. Elizabeth Thomson of Grosse Pointe, a passenger in their car, and Manford Dennis, brother of Isaac and Robert B. Jeffrey of Arkona, was said to be slightly improved. The Rev. E. R. May, Pastor of Arkona United Church, conducted the funeral services for the late Mr. Dennis at the Harper Funeral Home, Watford. Interment was in Arkona cemetery, and pallbearers were Ellis Butler, Wilbert Dunlop, Glen Eddington, Amos Lester, Edward Roder and Jack Marriott. Mr. Dennis is survived by two sisters, Mrs. William Nutt of Sylvan, and Mrs. William Haigh of London, and his brother Manford, now in St. Joseph's Hospital, city. The funeral of Mr. Casemore, who was thrown from his son's car when it and the auto carrying the Dennis brothers and Mr. Jeffrey collided head-on, will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. from the Heinbuch Funeral Home, Stratford, under auspices of
Builders' Lodge 536, AF and AM, Detroit. Provincial police are continuing their investigation of the accident today.

John Dennis was born on 4 February 1836 in Upper Canada. He and Carroline Bingleman were married on 17 February 1862 in Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. He died on 21 February 1904, at age 68, in Saint Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota. He was buried in Ontario, Canada.

John Dennis was in Farmer. He was affiliated in C. Baptist. * 1st cousin, 4 times removed, to MJ
______________________________

* The following two ancestry.com messages have posed a few questions that are partially answered by the 1900 U.S. census (Montevideo, Chippewa County, Minnesota) where Stanley & Elizabeth Fullerton "are living with" John and Caroline Dennis. Have to note though, referring to Stanley as the son-in-law of John Dennis, it must also be noted that Caroline is shown to be the mother of "0" children. Furthermore Elizabeth's p.o.b. is shown as Maryland and d.o.b. November 1880 (she was not the Delina, born 1863, referring to the 1871 Ontario census). In the 1881 Ontario census, John and Caroline were living in Aylmer, Elgin County, "with no children".
Therefore ....
* Does not seem likely that John and Caroline were the parents of Elizabeth (definitely were not Stanley's parents) despite the indication that he was visiting his son-in-law. Despite this there clearly was some connection there!
* As I find nothing other than the 1871 Ontario census to indicate there was an Eleanor, I am guessing that she and Caroline were the same person, her name likely recorded incorrectly by the census taker. This view is based on the fact that Eleanor's estimated y.o.b. was the same as Caroline's, plus the fact that John married Caroline in 1862.
* I find nothing to indicate that Delina Whitaker was a daughter to John Dennis and Eleanor (or Caroline). Unfortunately her relationship to them is not known as this fact is not recorded as part of the 1871 census. It would make more sense that she was just living with them, as was John's younger sister Catherine. Noteworthy that she was recorded with the last name "Whitaker" whereas John, Eleanor and Catherine all had the last name Dennis. Delina's origins are shown as "Scotch" and don't match the others. Could not find her in the 1881 census.

I too am looking for someone who was in this area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I have pieced together a bit and am sure Caroline Bingleman and John Dennis were married in Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada and went to Minnesota. John had a daughter Delina from his first marriage to an Eleanor. I have recently received an obiturary for a John Dennis where it says he was visiting his son in law Stanley [Fullerton] in St. Paul. I'm wondering if anyone knows who Stanley [Fullerton's] wife was and if this is the John Dennis who was married to Caroline Bingleman. This is some of the information I have entered and need help to determine if it is all correct. Caroline Bingleman's parents were Andrew Bingleman and Mary Shiveley Bingleman, born in Wurtemburg, Germany. John Dennis' parents were Isaac Dennis and Mary Ann Seitz Dennis.

"John Dennis, who has been in St. Paul, a short time on a visit to his son-in-law, Stanley Fullerton, 372 East Robie Street, died at the city hospital Sunday. He was sixty-eight years old and came from Canada. He contracted a cold a week ago and was sent to the city hospital where he died Sunday morning. The body was taken to Canada for interment Monday evening."
