He owns 50 acres of land, preaches Christ, and meets to observe the Lord's Supper weekly. He has not been baptized, but I hope will be. I gave him my 24-paged tract on baptism; about 16 meet with him. A brother, Grant, had immersed his infant child of two years... He says the Mohawks number about thirty or thirty-six thousand on the Grand River in Canada. Some are yet pagans, some Episcopalians, and others are Methodists. I gave him a dozen of our tracts for himself and his tribe. Evening: had a meeting, chiefly of Christians, in Mr. Holmes' large room. A few meet weekly here to remember the Lord; possibly more may meet after this."

In 1876, William Daniel Edy assisted Bell in perfecting his invention, of which the very first telephone conversation in the world took place between the Bell farm and Edy's photography studio in Burford Twp., Brant Co., Ontario. He also took the photographs of the original apparatus. Edy was subsequently made an offer for a half share in Bell's company for $1200, which he declined.
He subsequently opened a studio in London in 1879 with his brother James Newbury Edy (b. 1843 Brantford, ON - d. 1890 Toronto, ON) and the brothers were the first in all of Ontario to adopt the practice of retouching negatives, and regarded for over 30 years to be one of London's leading photographers, and declined a half-share in Eastman Kodak for $700. Later they produced an oil painting of Capt. Joseph Brant from a miniature on ivory made in England, which was presented through Lord Dufferin to Prince Arthur.
