The Globe ? Nov. 22, 1899 ? page 5
AN OLD PIONEER GONE
Andrew Malcolm, Who Read The Globe From Its Inception, Passed Away ? A Life-long Liberal.

On November 16 last an old settler was called away in the person of Andrew Malcolm of the Township of Flos. Mr. Malcolm's remains were interred at Elmvale on November 18, and a large number of relatives and friends attended the obsequies. The pass-bearers were deceased's sons, Archibald, John, William A., and Robert, Andrew Drysdale and W. K. Ritchie. The chief mourners were his four daughters, Mrs. John Drysdale, Mrs. Robert Kerr, Miss Catherine Malcolm and Miss Ann Malcolm, Mr. and Mrs. J. Stirling of Scarboro', and Mr. R. Malcolm of Toronto. Short and impressive services were held at the house and at the grave, Rev. James Rollins officiating, assisted by Rev. A. Miles.

Andrew Malcolm was born in Glasgow on February 19, 1821, and came to Canada in 1834, settling in Scarboro'. He saw service during the Mackenzie rebellion, and frequently related many interesting experiences of the campaign. In 1859 he removed to the Township of Flos, where by patient industry he succeeded in converting an unbroken forest into a good farm. In 1864 the first Presbyterian church was erected in the district, and a Sabbeth School was soon after established, of which he was appointed superintendent, an office which he filled faithfully for over 21 years. Mr. Malcolm was frequently urged to accept an appointment as Magistrate, but refused. Deceased was a staunch Reformer and a constant reader of The Globe from its earliest publication. He had 15 children, 32 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. His eldest brother, William, who was born on September 22, 1809, still survives and has lived as a member of the family for 55 years.

Location:
During their stay there, late in the autumn of 1815, a party of explorers from this colony visited the present site of the town of Perth to "spy out the land" for their kindred, before they could commit themselves to a position from which, once taken, it would be difficult to recede. One of these was Mr. Thomas Cuddie, grandfather of Mrs. George Templeton, of Calgary, Alberta, and he it was who cut down the first tree in the proposed settlement. He selected a farm on the Scotch line, and died in Perth not many years ago. The party camped the first night of their arrival in the locality on the right or west bank of the River Tay, very near the south end of the old stone bridge that stood so long on Gore street. They made a bush camp almost in front of the spot where Spalding & Stewart's distillery stands, cutting down an immense elm tree for the purpose. The stump of this tree remained as a sort of landmark for many years. This camp became the temporary headquarters of the prospectors till they decided upon the locality about them as the best procurable in the district, when they returned to their comrades at Brockville, all of whom came on and settled in the townships of Bathurst, North Burgess, North Elmsley, a few in Drummond, and some within the present limits of the town of Perth, though the greater number located in the immediate neighborhood on what is known as "The Scotch Line," forming the boundary between Bathurst and North Burgess townships.

The date of the first land taken up was April 17th, 1816, and among the pioneer settlers were John Halliday, lot A; Alexander McFarlane and Jas. McDonald, Lot 1; William McGilvery and Alexander Cameron, lot 2; John Brash and William Rutherford, lot 3; John Miller and Robert Gardner, lot 4; James Drysdale and John Allan, lot 5; John Ferrier and Robert Barber, lot 8, all in the 10th concession of North Burgess. Sergt. Thomas Brooke settled on the 9th concession.
