. Papers and records of the Wentworth Historical Society . , Esquire, who de-parted this life on the 16th day of February, 1842, aged 80years and 7 months, —the first settler at the Head of the Lake. Mr. Robert Land was certainly among the very earliestsettlers at the Head of the Lake, if not actually the first.A very interesting- and romantic incident is related in connec-tion with his experience in Canadian pioneer life.
