Book, privately published 1963 Page 246: The obituary of Adam Book gives some of the early history of this family. One by one the old settlers, those who have really made our country what it is, are dropping off. On Friday, the 11th of June, 1869, at his residence, in the township of Ancaster, ? concession, lot 45, Mr. Adam Book, sen., died, aged 83 years. Mr. Book was probably the oldest resident in the township if not in the county. He was born in the State of New Jersey in 1786, and emigrated to Canada along with the elder members of the family in 1788, at which time he was only a year-and-a-half old. The family settled at the Twelve mile creek and remained there three years. In 1791, they migrated to Ancaster, where the family took up an extensive lot of land, of which the subject of our memoir occupied 200 acres at the time of his decease. During the war of 1812, Mr. Book volunteered into the British army, and was present at the battles of Lundy’s Lane and Queenston Heights, under the ? Gen. Brock; and was with that gallant officer when he was killed. Mr. Book used to recount with great effect the scenes he witnessed and the hardships they had to put up with during that campaign. After the war he returned to his peaceful occupation, casting aside the implements of destruction, and taking up those of agriculture. In 1837, he was not called out, and being then an old man did not volunteer. He was sincerely and ardently attached to Britain, her principles and her institutions. When Mr. Book first came to Ancaster the land was mostly prairie, and he has lived to see on his own farm trees grow which would lay the sills for a house fifty feet long. To those with whom he was acquainted he appeared to never become weary telling his exploits and troubles during the early years of his settlement. He built the second brick house this side of Niagara, making the bricks and erecting the structure under his own supervision. He lived to see a great many changes. His death was rather sudden. He had returned from Simcoe on the day previous to his decease and did not complain of anything serious more than being tired. On Friday he said he felt a tightness across his chest, and Dr. Smith was called to prescribe for him.
