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. At the age of twenty-three his father gave him the north half of Lot 8, and later he purchased the north half of Lot 7, thus acquiring 200 acres in one block... The father lived to be gratified with seeing all his land cleared up, and for years he was actively engaged in cultivating it, meeting with great success. He owned other farms, one of eighty and one of sixty acres, and also considerable property in Kingsville. For thirteen years prior to his death he resided at Kingsville, passing away March 6, 1900, and he was laid to rest at Olinda. In politics he was a Reformer. For many years he was a constant attendant and a consistent member of the Methodist Church. He married Naomi Tofflemire, born Dec. 18, 1833, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Quick) Tofflemire, and they had children as follows: ... Amon... and Wellington.
      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...
      Wellington Bruner, the youngest of the Thomas Bruner family, was born Feb. 14, 1867, in the stone house mentioned, and there grew to manhood, receiving the best educational advantages afforded by the local schools. His first independent employment was as a clerk at Ruthven, but he soon began farming, and later came into possession of the western part of the home farm located on Lot 7, and there he has carried on mixed husbandry ever since.
      In Gosfield township Mr. Bruner married Beatrice Harrington, daughter of Jason Harrington, who was a native of Boston, Massachusetts, and to this union have been born: Melville D., born Oct. 25, 1893; Lillian Dorene, born April 25, 1897; Mahlon K., born May 4, 1899; and Golden W., born March 9, 1903. 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.
