Peter Upcott, one of the members of the council of Gosfield South, is a member of one of the old and substantial families of Essex County.
     Grandfather John Ridge Upcott was a native of England, where he was reared and where he married Miss Mariah Smale. He was a tradesman of London, and plied his craft at the East India dock, from which point he set sail for America with his wife and family. For a time he made his home in various places in the United States, including Ohio, and finally moved to Colchester, County of Essex, Ont., settling on the old McCormick farm. In 1831 he came to Gosfield, and took up seventy acres in Lot 260, Talbot Road North. This land was wild, and he endured the many privations incident to pioneer life. He built a log house some three rods east of the present dwelling, in which he died, Dec. 16, 1854, aged seventy-six years, eight months, twenty-five days. His wife died several years before, at the age of sixty-one years, three months, six days, March 1, 1848. Some time after his original purchase he added 100 acres to his holdings, but much of the clearing of it, and the payments, fell upon his sons. There were thirteen children in the family, but only the following survived infancy: Maria, who is now deceased; Elizabeth, Mrs. James Taylor; Ann, who died young; Louisa, who married Wendel Malott; Matilda, who married first Augustus Dustin and second George Cowan; Thomas, who married Rachael Hickmott; Jane, who married Peter Bruner; and John.

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: ... Peter, born Aug. 2, 1819, married Jane Upcott ...

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 156-157:
John S. Bruner, one of the leading citizens of Gosfield South, an extensive farmer and fruit grower at Elm Bluff Fruit Farm, occupies the old home of his father and grandfather, belonging as he does to one of the oldest and most honorable families of this part of County Essex.
      Henry Bruner, the grandfather of J. S., was born Oct. 30, 1785, and was a boy when the family settled at Cedar Creek... He was thrice married (first) to Elizabeth Ulch; (second) to widow Tron, and (third) to widow Moody.
      Peter Bruner, father of John S. Bruner, was born Aug. 2, 1819, on the present farm, and he assisted in much of its clearing, receiving as his share of the property the south half of the lot. Later he acquired the south half of Lot 7, adjoining. He continued to farm all his life until within twelve years of his death, when he moved to Leamington, living to see the whole property under cultivation. In 1851 he built the stone house, later building an addition to it, and this stanch old residence was occupied by our subject for thirty-two years, until he removed to his present modern residence.
      Peter Bruner married Jane Upcott, daughter of John and Maria Upcott, the former of whom died Dec. 16, 1854, aged seventy-six years, eight months, twenty-five days, and the latter died March 1, 1848, aged sixty-one years, two months and six days. The mother of our subject died March 13, 1889, and was buried in the family lot in the cemetery at Olinda. Politically Peter Bruner was a Reformer. In church affairs he was a Baptist, and he took a very prominent part in the work of his church, giving liberally to its various charities and missions. In material affairs he was a very successful man. The children of Peter Bruner and wife were: Maria Ann married (first) Leonard J. Fox, and (second) Daniel Gorman of Leamington; Ozias died when past eighteen years old; Philetus was a farmer in Nebraska, where he died Dec. 9, 1901; he married Amelia Malott; Henry died aged eighteen years; John S. is mentioned below.
      John S. Bruner was born April 5, 1852, in the old stone mansion so often referred to in the various sketches of the members of his family. After attaining manhood he came into possession of 100 acres on Lot 8, and his brother 100 acres in Lot 7. He subsequently bought his brother's property and then owned the 200 acres of his father's farm. It is a matter of record that there has never been a cent of indebtedness placed against the 400 acres of land owned by the sons of Peter Bruner.
      In 1888 Mr. Bruner first became interested in the fruit industry, which he has since continued to pursue, and has become one of the extensive growers of the country. His apple orchard, containing seven acres, is wonderfully productive, as is also his thirty-acre peach orchard, fine peaches being his specialty. He also grows plums, pears and other fruit. In addition to carefully attending to this industry, with the assistance of his son Gurnsey, he carries on general farming, and also, during the past year, raised some $2,000 worth of tobacco. The visitor can see little to improve about Mr. Bruner's fine grounds and surroundings, but he himself is not yet satisfied, and each year finds more and better buildings, and still more attractive lawns and gardens. His commodious three-story residence would do credit to a city, and it is vastly comfortable, being supplied with modern conveniences, furnace heat and running water. Mr. Bruner was one of the organizers of the Erie Tobacco Company, and was its manager during its first two years of business. Politically he is independent, and fraternally he is a Forester and Odd Fellow, belonging to the lodges at Ruthven.
      In 1872 Mr. Bruner was married to Catherine E., youngest daughter of Charles Stewart, Sr., and to them were born these children: Mary Luella, born Nov. 22, 1873, married Wellington W. Wigle, a dentist in Detroit, and they have children, John Dayton, born Aug. 18, 1898; Lila, Oct. 5, 1900; Elizabeth, March 12, 1902; and Beatrice, Feb. 20, 1903. Peter Charles, born March 29, 1876, is a rising young dentist located at Vancouver, B.C.; he married Mary Bonham, of Ridgetown, Ont., and they have one son, Preston. Gurnsey Carlisle, born March 3, 1878, married Daisy Fox, and is engaged with his father in operating the home farm. Gladys Nellie, born Jan. 29, 1881, and Eva Blanche, born June 8, 1884, are at home. Mr. and Mrs. Bruner and two of their daughters belong to the Leamington Baptist Church.
