Lawrence J. Gosnell, general farmer of Orford township, residing on his excellent place of 163 acres in the 7th Concession, Lots 11 and 12, came to this property in 1877 from the family homestead on the Ridge road, in the same township. He was born on that homestead Nov. 23, 1848, a son of James and Ann (Gosnell) Gosnell, of County Cork, Ireland, who came to Orford township, County of Kent, Ont., about 1824...
On Oct. 25, 1877, Lawrence J. Gosnell married Margaret Gillanders and children as follows were born to them: Angus J. died in infancy; Clayton and Jennie L. and A. Mary, young ladies, are at home. Mrs. Gosnell was born on her father's farm on the Ridge road in Orford township, and is a daughter of John and Mary (Matheson) Gillanders, and a sister of Angus Gillanders, of Orford township.
Until his marriage Mr. Gosnell remained at home, at that time purchasing his present place, which is one of the best in the neighbourhood, although the land was wild when he located upon it. He attends and supports the Presbyterian Church. In politics he is a Reformer, and he is a man well and favorably known through the community where he has made his home for so many years.
