Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 525-526:
Bruner. The name of Bruner, long known in the County of Essex, is worthily borne in the present generation by Amon and Wellington Bruner, two of the most enterprising farmers of the township of Gosfield South.
      Henry Bruner, their grandfather, was born Oct. 30, 1785, in Pennsylvania, where he married, Jan. 3, 1809, Elizabeth Ulch, born Oct. 10, 1791. They had children as follows: ... Thomas, born Oct. 18, 1829.
      Thomas Bruner, the youngest of the family, was born in the log house on the present J. S. Bruner farm, where he grew to manhood... He married Naomi Tofflemire, born Dec. 18, 1833, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Quick) Tofflemire, and they had children as follows: ... Amon...
      Amon Bruner was born Sept. 24, 1858, in the frame house first erected by his father on his farm of wild land, and was still small when the family moved into the stone house which he now occupies. At the time of his marriage he located on the north side of the farm, built a dwelling and barns, and lived there five years, returning then to the homestead which he has occupied ever since.
      On Nov. 16, 1880, Mr. Bruner married (first) Jane Peterson, daughter of John Peterson, who died aged twenty-seven years, leaving these children: Bertha, born Feb. 19, 1882, married Russell Rodgers, and has two children, Pearl and Amon Glen; Wilhelmina, born May 19, 1884, married Frederick Duhurst; Frederick Earl, born Sept. 7, 1887...
      Mr. Bruner is an extensive farmer, and everything about his place gives evidence of thrift and care. He follows general farming and also give considerable attention to the growing of fruit and tobacco. The old stone house is something of a landmark here, as it is of such substantial construction, its walls two feet in thickness making it almost a fortress should such a building ever be needed in these peaceful vales. In politics he is a Reformer. He belongs to the Methodist Church, where he is liberal in his support.
      Wellington Bruner, the youngest of the Thomas Bruner family, was born Feb. 14, 1867... In politics, Mr. Bruner, like his brother, is identified with the Reform party. In religious belief he is a Methodist. Both are men of sterling worth and integrity of character, esteemed through the township and regarded as representative citizens.
