Mr. Pickering had enjoyed good health during his long and honorable life and his final illness was one of brief duration which confined him to bed for only three days. Mr. Pickering was born at Winchester, Dundas County, Ontario, ninety years ago. Seventy-four years ago, when he was sixteen years of age, he came to Watt Township with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Pickering. That was a year before steamboats began to run on Lake Muskoka and no railroad ran north of Barrie. Bracebridge was then an isolated little hamlet in the back woods and Watt Township was still farther in the hinterland. Mr. Pickering did his full share in helping to make Watt Township the splendid agricultural area it now is. In his later years, as he came by automobile regularly to Bracebridge he often used to speak of the old pioneer days when many a time he walked the entire distance and returned on foot with heavy bundles of supplies.
