Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 465-466:
John Dalton, a prosperous and highly respected farmer of Gosfield North, living on Lot 270, on the Talbot Road North, has been a resident of the County of Essex since eary manhood, as he accompanied his parents hither in 1873, when they settled here. His parents, James and Annie (Sweetman) Dalton, were both natives of Lower Canada, but he was born in the United States, March 4, 1848, during a temporary residence of the parents in the State of New York...
      John Dalton's boyhood and youth were passed on the farm in the County of Durham, and he has become thoroughly familiar with all the details of farming. Unlike many farmers' sons, however, his education was not neglected and he was sent to school long enough to have a good preparation for life's work. He continued to help in the management of the homestead for many years, and it was not until 1894, three years after his marriage, that he bought the Prado Malotte farm and settled in a home of his own. He has put a great deal of work into this place, clearing land, erecting new buildings, and making improvements generally. His large bank barn is one of the finest in that section of Canada.
      Mr. Dalton is an admirable farmer, practical in his methods, energetic and business-like, and has been very successful.
      Mr. Dalton did not marry until comparatively late, in 1891 being united to Miss Christina Campbell, of Glencoe, daughter of Duncan Campbell, a Scotchman. She was born in 1851, and grew up in Glencoe. No children have come to her and her husband. Mr. Dalton has always been found in the ranks of the old Liberals or "Grits", but while he has ever been essentially one of the good citizens of the township, he has taken no very active part in politics, and has sought no official preferment. In religious opinion his family have all been Methodists. He is one of the successful self-made men of his locality, and is well known and highly respected.
