Seaforth is 30 minutes west of Stratford and just about an hour out of both Kitchener-Waterloo and London. Although there were settlers in the area already, the town really got its start with the coming of the railway in 1858. By the 1870's Seaforth was a major terminal for grain shipment, food processing, manufacturing, retailing and exchange. It was a thriving commercial center of more than 3000 people. Kitchener (then Berlin) was just slightly larger. The town was officially incorporated in 1874 and although a devastating fire in 1876, burned many of the original buildings downtown, a modern commercial centre sprang from the ashes almost immediately. Many of the fine commercial buildings in Seaforth were constructed in one great building boom that began in 1877.

Christena married James Wesley Evans on 1 Jan 1908 in W Nissouri Twp, East Middlesex, Ontario. James (son of James Evans and Jane Kearn) was born on 13 Jun 1856 in West Nissouri Twp, Middlesex Co, Ontario; died on 20 Mar 1932 in Mimico, Toronto Municipality, York Co, Ontario; was buried about Mar 1932 in Clipperton Cemetery, W Nissouri Twp, East Middlesex, Ontario.
