Thamesville Herald Thursday 12 August 1909
Death of Miles McDonald. The death took place in Zone on Friday last, August 6th, of Miles H. McDonald in his 90th year. The deceased was one of the oldest residents here abouts and was well known to everyone for miles around.
The late Miles McDonald was born on November 6th, 1819, just across the river in Howard, and he spent his entire life of fourscore years and ten, tilling the soil, almost within a stone's throw of the village. He has made only three moves in all that time, always remaining near Thamesville. He was married in 1847 to Christina Bedford, who, with three daughters and one son survive him. The daughters are Mrs. Conlin, Richmond, Mich., Mrs. Bert Thomson, Spokane, Wash., Mrs. John H. Smith, Zone Tp., and the son, John McDonald of Marine City, Mich. A brother, Alex McDonald, of Ridgetown sideroad, who is several years nearer the century mark than the deceased, also survives him.
The funeral took place from his late residence, Lot 4, Con 4, at 1:30 on Monday, August 9th. Service was conducted in the Methodist church here, by Rev. Mr. Nethercott of Moraviantown at 2:30. A large crowd was present to pay their respects to the departed. Interment in the Mayhew cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. Amos Daugherty, Lausse McDonald, Randy McDonald, Thamesville, Randy McDonald, of Chatham, Miles McDonald, Morpeth and Geo. Bedford, Zone.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 407-408:
David Henry Bedford, proprietor of the Essex County Dairy, and a successful and experienced dairyman and stock dealer, is a prominent citizen of Windsor, who has descended from an old English family of importance.
Robert Bedford, the great-grandfather of David H., was born in England in 1745. He became the first school teacher in the County of Kent, Ont. Prior to the American Revolution he settled in Pennsylvania, from which he moved to Ontario, as a United Empire Loyalist. His first location was on Lot 10, R.R., Chatham township, later settling on River St. Clair, near Port Lambton, thence moving to the Thames river, near Louisville. He and John Boyle and William Needsmore were the first white settlers in the County of Kent, on the Thames river, above Chatham. After his location at Louisville, Mr. Bedford engaged in farming until his death in 1842,, at the age of ninety-seven. He married Elizabeth Edwards, by whom he had the following children: John, Abe, Robert, William, James, David, Thomas, Fanny and Mary.
John Bedford, son of Robert, was born in Chatham township in 1796, and he became a farmer and school teacher in his native county, where he died in 1869. He was twice married, first to Orpha Jones, daughter of Benjamin and Mary (Hart) Jones, the former a native of a France, and the latter of New York State. Mrs. Mary (Hart) Jones and her brother were scalped by the Indians, and while she recovered, her brother died. To John Bedford and wife were born these four children: John, Mary Ann, Ira and Christiana. For his second wife John Bedford married Jane Sherman, and one son, Sherman, was born of this union.
