Quote:

Edward and Sarah Gostick emigrated to Canada in 1870.  Prior to leaving London he was employed at the Bank of England but the urge to emigrate assailed him and armed with a letter of introduction to the Dominion Bank of Canada, he set sail with his wife and two children, Arthur and Helen.  He never made use of his letter of introduction, prefering to commence farming when he got out there.  Those were days of mass emigrations and among the party with whom he sailed was a young Henry Pellett, later to become Sir Henry Pellett, the great engineer.  During the voyge, colera broke out aboard the ship and the ship's doctor and Edward Gostick were almost the only two who excaped it.  Those two worked hand in hand fighting the epidemic, and there were very few deaths.  He eventually settled at a place called Muskoka, where he became in turn a farmer, surveyor, school teacher, and postmaster.  In fact he was the first schoolmaster in that region.  He died on the 17th of November 1911, greatly missed by many friends.
 

Edward Gostick was a nephew to Thomas Gostick, Sr. also of Canada.  Edward Gostick had two brothers named Thomas and Samuel.  Samuel Gostick had two son's named Herbert and Samuel, who both emigrated to Canada in 1910.  Herbert remained in Canada, but Samuel returned to England.
