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. When he came of legal age he drew from the government Lot 8, Concession 3, consisting of 200 acres, locating on his new acquisition when John W. Wigle was his only near neighbour. The land was heavily wooded and proved very wet, requiring much drainage, and wild animals were still a menace to the farmer's stock. Soon after coming here, wolves killed his only cow. Henry Bruner built here a double log house which stood some twenty rods to the northwest of our subject's present home. Some forty years ago that house was remodeled, and it stood until some ten years ago, when J. S. Bruner tore it down to make way for improvements. In that primitive home the grandfather died and was, at that time, according to custom, interred on his own land, but some fifteen years ago his remains, with those of his wife, were removed to the Olinda cemetery. In addition to clearing his land and cultivating it, Henry Bruner officiated as a minister of the Baptist Church, and much of his time was devoted to work pertaining to his spiritual calling. 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...
