  • Note*: before 4 November 1959; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "FOREWORD - This publication stems from a personal hobby and undying interest in his home-town of Brighton by the late Mr. Wilmot Maxwell Tobey. Much of the material, and research was prepared by this devoted gentleman whose desire it was to give to the people of Brighton a detailed story of the village and of the surrounding area from its very inception to the present day.
    Unfortunately, declining health prevented, the old gentleman from completing his ambitious project and following his passing, the material which he had collected and with which I had given some assistance fell into my hands. As time has permitted, I have endeavoured to re-assemble these writings and to personally complete the project as far as indicated by the time span covered by this volume. This story is written in chronological sequence and a considerable amount of duplication is deliberately introduced in order to connect previous events with the particular year under review. Each chapter, is as a result complete in itself. I am sure it was Mr. Tobey*s wish as well as mine that this book be presented to the people of Brighton with the provisio that since much of it cannot be duplicated or replaced, it be retained in a safe and permanent place. We hope it will be useful in bringing back recollections of many of the persons who have long since departed from the town. Permission is granted to use this material or re-publish the anecdotes in any way deemed advisable or of public interest. It is a pleasure to present this history to the people of Brighton. W.M. Sprung, Cornwall, Ontario" this is the Foreword of The Tobey Book, which was compiled into a book in the 1970s after Wilmot Maxwell Tobey had accumulated the bulk of the material before he died in 1959.17
