Three years later he moved to Grafton where he resided until about four years ago when he came to this city to reside with his daughter Christina. His wife died about five years ago. Mr. Weagent was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Grafton. He was a kind neighbor, a good Christian man and leaves hundreds of friends in Minot to mourn for him. He leaves five children who are: Mrs. John McJannett, Misses Caroline and Christina Weagent, and Charles Weagent, of Minot. Mrs. Ed Sikes of Stanley, H.L. Weagent of Bellingham, Washington and William of Spokane.

?b??/i?Death of Mrs. R. Weagant
?/b?Mrs. R. Weagant quietly passed away Thursday morning, April 13, at 6 o'clock; aged 65 years; the immediate cause of her death being paralysis of the bowels. Mrs. Weagant's maiden name was Mary Miller, she was born in the month of May 1834, in the county of Lanack (sic), Canada. In the spring of 1857 she was married to R. Weagant. The same year Mr. Weagant came to Minnesota ande settled in Wabasha county and the year after Mrs. Weagant followed. In 1878 they moved to Cass county and from there came to Grafton in 1882. Mrs. Weagant was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survive her; all were present at the funeral with the exception of the youngest, Charles, who is serving his country in the Philippines.

Mrs. Weagant was a noble Christian woman; her many good qualities had drawn around her a large circle of warm friends, who extend heartfeelt sympathy to the bereaved husband and children in their sorrow. One of Mrs. Weagant's last conscious acts was to read a letter from her son, Charlie, written in the Philippines; she expressed herself as being bery glad to hear from him, but shortly after began to fail; this was on Tuesday and death occurred as stated above on early Thursday morning.

The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church and was largely attended. The casket was literally covered with beautiful wreaths of flowers, silent tokens of sympathy and esteem of friens. Rev. Dr. McDonald preached an appropriate funeral sermon; he referred to the deceased's true Christian life, she had been a member of the Presbyerian church for seventeen years, being among the first to join; and although for the past few years, owing to ill health, she was unable to attend, her good influence and sympathies were there. Rev. Mr. Newcomb assisted Dr. MacDonald in conducting the services. The singing was beautiful and appropriate.

Mrs. Robert Miller of Minneapolis attended the funeral of her sister Mrs. R. Weageant; Herman Weagant was here from St. Hiliare, and Mrs Mary McJannett and Miss Lizzie Weagant came from Minot and Mr and Mrs Will Weagant from Cavalier. Miss Lizzie Weagant will remain at home.

This contradicts Peter Munro document:
Peter (age 52, a weaver) and Mary Munro and family traveled to Canada from Argyleshire Scotland in 1820 on either the ship '?b?Brook?/b?' (7 families, Transatlantic Society) departed 9 July 1820, arriving 21 Au 1820, Dougal Cowan, Master or the '?b?Prompt?/b?' (370 people, 33 families were members of Lesmahago Society), departed 4 July 1820, arriving at Quebec 4 Sep 1820, Joseph Nairn, Master.

Traveled to Canada with Dobbie family, later the families were to intermarry.

Residence:
Settled on Dalhousie C1 L10. Moved to Bathurst in 1835.

The land is described as rough and stony, and not suitable for extensive agriculture. Inspected by the author about 1934, he notes very little improvements have been made to it. Practically all the tillable land has been broken and is in crop by the present owner, but the greater portion of the acreage is still in its original state. He continues, "A good road runs along the northwest boundary of the lot from the village of Watson's Corners, which is not more than two miles away. The concession road, however, on which the farm faces has never been opened up for traffic, although there is abundant evidence to show that this road has been used to some extent in the early days. The right-of-way is now overgrown with trees and shrubbery and is altogether impassable."

Peter Munro applied for a patent, 4 Apr 1838, as a member of the Lanark Society Settlers of 1820, for Dalhousie Twp Con 1 E1/2 Lot10. His patent had not arrived with those of the other settlers. The patent was granted 1 June 1938. On 8 July 1840 he sold the property to James MacMillan, 100 acres for ?50, who in turn passed it on to a son and daughter who later conveyed it to Charles McArthur. The property changed hands three times before being acquired by Charles Caldwell (owner in 1934).?i?
?/i?
Fire raged through this part of Lanark in 1870, and in 1934 only foundations of the buildings were evident. A spring, located on the SE corner of the lot, about 25 yards from the NE boundary, close to the division road between the townships of Dalhousie and Lanark was known as the Munro spring (1934). The traveled road runs along the NW side of the farm.


Land & Property:
20 Jan 1835, he purchased the rear part of the W1/2 of ?b?L6 C3 Bathurst ?/b?from John McNie for ?65. It was?b? ?/b?situated about ten or eleven miles west of Perth (63 acres adjacent to front part of West half of ?b?C3?/b? ?b?L6 Bathurst ?/b?owned by son John in 1850's). The deed was registered 9 July 1845. Peter, his son, was a resident on this property.

Peter Munro lived on this property for the rest of his life and when he died this property transferred to his youngest son Roderick, who in turn left the property to his grand-niece Mary Jane Munro.
Peter Munro's will was witnessed by Andrew Miller and James Patterson.


Census:
?i?1842 Census?/i?
Peter is located in Bathurst C3 L6W, he arrived from Scotland in 1820, Presbyterian, 3 born in Scotland 5 born in Canada.
