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...
      Peter Bruner married Jane Upcott, daughter of John and Maria Upcott.. The children of Peter Bruner and wife were: ... 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.
      Mrs. Catherine E. (Stewart) Bruner was born in the township of Mersea, Feb. 26, 1856, daughter of Charles (Jr.) and Mary (Whittle) Stewart, natives of Pennsylvania and the County of Essex, respectively, granddaughter of Charles Stewart (Sr.) and great-granddaughter of James Stewart.
      James Stewart, father of Charles Stewart, Sr., was born in Scotland and came to America about 1775. He came out as a soldier, belonging to the regiment known as the Black Watch, the 42nd Highlanders. He was married in Virginia to Peggy Brown, a Scotchwoman, and they afterward moved to Greene County, Pennsylvania, where they raised a family, Charles Stewart, Sr., being their youngest child.
      Charles Steward, Sr., was married in Pennsylvania to Jane Findley, and they afterward moved to Essex County, Ont., settling in Mersea township. They raised a large family of whom Charles Stewart, Jr., was the second one.
      Charles Stewart, Jr., married Mary Whittle, a native of Essex County, who died Aug. 9, 1885, aged seventy-five. Charles Stewart, Jr., died at the home of Mrs. Bruner, Sept. 9, 1893, aged ninety-three. They were members of the Baptist Church. To this union came the following children: Jane, deceased wife of John Hetherington; Elizabeth, deceased wife of Alexander Quick; Margaret, deceased wife of William Long; Clarissa, deceased wife of Wells Morley; Charles, deceased, who married Victoria Wilkerson; Mary, deceased wife of Jesse Brown; Malinda, wife of George Jeffery, of Mersea township; Tabitha, who died aged eleven years; Olive, deceased, who married James McQueen; Eliza Ann, widow of John Thompson, of Mersea township; Thomas, a farmer of Mersea township, who married Martha Jeffery; James who died when three years old; and Catherine E., Mrs. Bruner.
