DUFFERIN ARCHIVES - Obituary:
**************************
With the passing of John Kidd, who died at his home in Everett a couple of weeks ago, one of the original settlers in the township
of Tosorontio is removed.
Mr. Kidd is probably the last of the old guard. There may remain some who knew and associated with these original pioneers half a century ago, but so far as known the original incomers have all passed away.
Mr. Kidd was born at Mono Mills and spent his boyhood and youth there. When about 24 years of age he and his brothers, Joseph, Henry, and, Thomas made their way up to what is now Airlie and finding the land there excellent, and an abundance of water, they decided to locate, and took out their patent rights to Lot 22 and 23 on the Tosorontio side and Lots 22 and 23 in Mulmur side. They were in a wilderness, their nearest neighbors being on the 6th line of Mulmur near Mansfield. On their property is the famed Rookery Creek where wild pigeons came in countless thousands to nest. Here the deceased put in nearly half a century overcoming all the handicaps of pioneering, transforming forest lots into a splendid farm, raising a large family and prospering.
He was a sturdy type of man possessing all the characteristics of mind and the tireless energy of the successful pioneer to whom this country owes a great debt.
He was an Anglican in religion and a Conservative in politics.

Son of John KIDD
{born - 1798
at Vale of Avoca, County Wicklow, Ireland
died - 27 March 1895 at Mono Mills, Dufferin, Ontario.
son of Joseph KIDD and Anne POOLE}.
and
Jane MORRIS
{born in 1811 - died in 1893}.
