Notes - rom "A Kerfoot History" is the following, probably from the "Christian Guardian":
William Kerfoot was born in Coolcullen, County of Kilkenny, Ireland May 14, 1816, came to Canada in the year 1819, and settled in the Township of Beckwith, Ontario. He was converted to God in the summer of 1832, under the ministry of Rev J H Huston. The work was genuine, as his after life showed. He immediately united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church and continued a member to his death (fifty-one years) and he was a class leader in the church of his choice eighteen years. He was married to Miss Mary Brownlee of Goulbourn on May 6, 1841, and settled in the Township of Montague near Merrickville. His wife died January 16, 1869, and left him with twelve children to mourn her loss. In the spring of 1870 he moved to Warwick with eight children, the other four being settled. The twelve children are still living and all members of the Church. A few months before his death he sold his farm and built for himself a comfortable house in the Village of Watford where he intended to finish his days in retirement, but he passed away to his rest after a few weeks' illness on the 3rd of April, 1883 and was interred on the 5th, in the Warwick Cemetery. A memorial sermon was preached in the Church in which he was wont to worship by Rev T S Howard to a vast concourse of sympathetic friends. He was one of the pillars of the Church, and died as he lived, peaceful and happy.
