| Notes for Howland SOULES |
701In 1810 they moved from Westerlo, New York to Tapleytown, Saltfleet, Ontario where he received a Crown Grant of land comprising several hundred acres of territory from which he retrieved his farm and upon which he built his home. While hewing down the forest he was killed by a falling tree.
From their holdings these Soules cleared productive fields and were prosperous stock breeders and fruit growers. They were a people who appreciated the advantages of education and gave their children the best opportunities afforded in the community to become fitted for the activities and responsibilities of life. Invested with fine natural ability and their minds disciplined and polished by the culture of the schools, these sons and daughters were equipped to meet the conquests and enrich themselves with the achievements of success. The moral atmosphere of their home was exalted and refining and imparted character and efficiency to their subsequent examples. As a family they have held a respectable position in the community where their lot was cast and their names have been a synonym of inegrity and veracity.
