Notes:

Woodstock Press on 2 January, 1899:
"The (Glassville) community has lately sustained a severe loss by the removal from our midst, by the grim reaper, of one of our most prominent citi- zens. The Rev. John Home died on December 21st after a short illness. The deceased gentleman has for many years been a resident of Glassville where he made himself very popular in all the prominent questions of the day. In religion, politics, education, and in the agricultural interests of the parish - and indeed, of the province in general - in each of which he will be greatly missed for his pow- erful eloquence and his indefatigable exertions in these as in all other burning questions of the day. As secretary to the Aberdeen Agricultural Society and the Farmers' and Dairymen's Association, he was distinguished for the interest he manifested in all their doings, and his position in these associations will be diffi- cult to refill.
Previous to coming to Glassville, Mr. Home lived for some years in Charlotte County, where he was successfully engaged in the scholastic profes- sion, a profession for which he was particularly distinguished, and singularly adapted; and his ability to impart to others a large share of his own superior education was well known and highly appreciated by his numerous pupils.
Originally brought up to the Presbyterian church, he graduated with high honours from one of the time honoured universities of his native land, and was a profound Greek and Latin scholar as well as an accomplished mathematician. For some years he has devoted his time to education, and has successfully taught in many of the common schools of the county, where his remarkable tal- ents have been duly esteemed.
When Mr. Home first came to Glassville, he purchased a farm, which with the aid of his sons has been brought into a high state of cultivation, but failing health, and the loss of a son have prevented his enjoyment of the invest- ment to that extent to which he looked forward. Mr. Home leaves behind a widow, one son, and a daughter, who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their bereavement"
