• Notes

  from "A Family Called Wild", 1989: Sinsheim, a community of about 10,000 people, is located southeast of Heidelberg in Southwestern Germany. The father of Joseph and Casimir, Peter Wild, is listed in church records as being a farmer. Little is actually known of Joseph and Casimir's early life in Germany. The portrait and biographical record of Bond and Montgomery Counties, Illinois, 1892 has the following entry: "During the revolt in 1848, Joseph and Casimir identified themselves with the Revolutionists and like many of their countrymen found America a genial country in which to take refuge." They arrived in Ontario and settled in a town called Berlin near Waterloo. Berlin was renamed Kitchener during World War I. It was a German community that aided the brothers in making friends and adjusting to a new land and language. They would both move to Bayfield, Ontario, in about 1851. There they would acquire adjoining tracts of land, marry, raise their families, and live the remainder of their lives. Around 1859 the brothers bought approximately 100 acre farms from Ninian Woods who had received the patent lot #1 in May 1836. In 1861 both families were living in one-story one-family log houses. Had Casimir owned three hogs, their ownership of livestock would have been identical. By 1870 both Joseph and Casimir had built substantial homes. Casimir's home is of bricks and Joseph's of stone. Both houses are still standing and in excellent repair. As Joseph's home is still occupied by the builder's descendants, it is known as a "Centennial Home". Comparison of 1871 and 1877 tax records showed a continued, almost identical similarities of property. Pictures of the brothers also indicate a close harmony and I'm sure a communal assistance in working their land. Both brothers were very active in community affairs and were instrumental in starting St. Peter's Church and the Catholic cemetery in St. Joseph, Ontario. ---------------------------------------- Ontario death records: Cassimere Wild, died 21 Sep 1904, married, Roman Catholic, occupation farmer. Born in Germany. Cause of death - "Eul Prostate Uraemia" ---------------------------------------- In 1989, Lori Mattson Alling visited Sinsheim and spoke with people at the rectory for St. Jakob's Catholic church. According to the people at the rectory, the name Wild (pronounced Veeld) is an old Sinsheim name. While in Sinsheim, Lori saw a number of Wild headstones in the cemetery, as well as a factory with the name Wild on it.
