ANDREW HOOD DIES TODAY

Andrew Hood, aged 87 years, died at six forty-five this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. Halliday. Mr. Hood was formerly of Lanark, Ontario, but has been in this country for a good many years and for the past four years, with Mrs. Hood, has been making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Halliday at 515 Sixth Street.

Funeral services will be held at the house tomorrow afternoon at two-thirty, Rev. Sam M. Kelly officiating, and the body will be shipped to Harrison, Ontario for internment.

Mr. Hood is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna Hood, and six children: Mrs. J. Halliday, Devils Lake; R. G. Hood, Medicine Hat, Alberta; J. S. Hood, Lengby, Minn; Stewart Hood, Toronto, Ontario; and Martha and Margaret Hood of Jamestown, ND. Also, a nephew, R. S. McMorran of Lawton, who lived at the Hood home from childhood.

Mrs. Hood with four of the children and Mr. McMorran were with him at death, and R. G. Hood is on his way to Devils Lake. Mr. Stewart Hood will meet the body at Harrison, Ontario.

Andrew Hood was born in Dalhousie Township (now called Lanark Highlands), Lanark County, Ontario on November 15, 1837 to William Hood and Martha Park. Andrew was the seventh child of ten. Andrew's older brother, William, eventually left their childhood home, stopping (per William Jr.'s diary) at Simcoe County to visit his grandfather James Hood, and then his older sister Elizabeth Jones (Hood) Ferguson at Hay Township, Huron County, before settling in Howick Township, Huron County. All of William's brothers eventually traveled to Howick Township, but most moved on. Andrew must have liked what he saw, because he farmed in that area for many decades. The current address of where the farm was located is: 46358 Salem Road, Howick Township (near Clifford). The old homestead is no longer there, and a new house replaces it, but the land can be viewed and there is an old maple sugar shack on the property. This land would have been all virgin forests/bush with Andrew first bought it. The two brothers had farms that were about 2 1/2 miles from each other. Andrew married Ann Scott on January 5, 1866 at Willow Creek Farm. Ann's parents had come from Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland. Andrew's farm was near the border of Minto Township, Wellington County, where Ann's parents had a farm. Andrew and Ann had seven children, plus helped raise two children whose mother (Louisa Scott McMorran who was Ann's older sister) had died unexpectedly.

A nephew of Ann Scott Hood, Robert "Rob" Scott McMorran, was one of the chidlren raised by the Hood family. Robert's mother, Louisa (Ann's sister), died before her time, when Robert was around 13 months old, and after that, he lived with the Andrew Hood family. Robert was born on March 25, 1874 at Hespler, Ontario. He died Nov. 17, 1953 in Lawton, ND. Robert is buried at Inkster Cemetery. One of Rob's sisters was also raised in the Andrew Hood family, but she married and stayed in Ontario.

On the 1871 Canadian Census, Andrew is listed as living in Huron County, Howick Twp. Andrew is age 33 and his wife Ann is 24. Their children are William (age 4), Ann (age 2), and John (4 months born Dec. 1870). Andrew was the owner of 109 acres of land on Concession 13, Lot 33 of Howick Township. The land produced 160 bushels of Spring Wheat, 60 bushels of barley, 240 bushels oats, 100 b. peas, 80 b. potatoes, 400 b. turnips, and 10 tons of hay. There were 2 oxen, 2 milk cows, 2 beef cattle, 10 sheep, 1 swine, 1ith 1 cow, 2 sheep and 5 swine butchered. They made 50 lbs. of butter from the cow's milk, and 24 lbs. of wool from the sheep.

On the 1900 U.S. census, Cass County, Kinyon Twp, it lists their son John Hood as having come to the U.S. in 1896. He is living with his sister Annie, his brother-in-law Jake, and his brother George. His sister Martha Park is living next door. Per that census, everyone else in the group came to the U.S. in 1899. They must have liked what they saw in North Dakota, sending back word to their parents in Canada. In 1902, when Andrew and Ann's youngest daughter Margaret Janet was sixteen, the rest of the family left Canada and moved to Devil's Lake, Ramsey Couty, North Dakota, where they ran a boarding house for about one year. After that, the couple relocated to Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota. Andrew and Ann lived the rest of their lives in North Dakota, but are buried per their request, at Harriston Cemetery, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario.

Andrew married Ann Scott in 1865. Ann (daughter of William Scott and Ann Cairns) was born on 25 Nov 1846 in Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland; died on 3 Jun 1927 in Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota, United States; was buried in Harriston Cemetery, Harriston, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada.

Died:
Death claimed another of the city's pioneer residents Friday evening in the passing of Mrs. Ann Hood. The deceased was 80 years, 6 months and 8 days old at the time of her death, having been born in Weensland, Scotland, November 25, 1846.
Mrs. Hood's maiden name was Ann Scott, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Scott. She came to Ontario with her parents in 1852 and was united in marriage to Andrew Hood in 1865. In 1905 Mr. and Mrs. Hood came to North Dakota, living at Devil's Lake for about a year. Moving to Jamestown in 1906, Mrs. Hood was a resident of that city until the time of her death.
The deceased is survived by three daughters, Mrs. J. Halliday, Eugene Oregon, Miss Martha Hood and Mrs. W. C. McCauley of Jamestown [ND] and three sons J.S. Hood of Lengby, Minn., R.G. Hood of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Stewart Hood of Toronto and a nephew, R.S. McMorran of Lawton, North Dakota. Mr. McMorran lived with Mrs. Hood from the time of his infancy until he grew to manhood, his own mother, a sister of the deceased, having died when he was about one year old. Mr. Andrew Hood passed away at Devil's Lake in September 1924.
Funeral services will be held at the Hood residence, 300 Seventh Ave. North (Jamestown) at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. Rev. Ward F. Boyd officiating. Interment will be at Harriston, Ontario. Miss Martha Hood will accompany the remains to that place, leaving on the noon train.

Her death certificate lists that she died of erysipelas (following a head accident).

A very old cup has been passed down in the family that has the words "A Gift From Leeds" painted on it. A family story is that Ann's brothers went back to visit Scotland and brought the cup back to her as a gift.

Died:
William Hood was the son of James Hood (#51456319)and his first wife Elizabeth Jones. James Hood is buried at Creemore Cemetery, Simcoe County, Ontario.

William's mother, Elizabeth Jones, died when William was a young child, and so his father eventually remarried. William left from Greenock, Scotland with his family on July 4, 1820 and sailed on the Prompt for Canada. It has been said that he met his future wife, Martha Park, on board this ship and that theirs was a shipboard romance, but there is no documentation to support that Martha came to Canada at the same time.

That first winter at Dalhousie Township, the school teacher hired and brought over by the name of George Richmond, died when a tree fell on him. He was the first death in the Dalhousie settlement ("The Lanark Society Settlers" by Carol Bennett p. 16). This is probably the teaching position that William Hood took over. It has been said that William had had two years of college before emigrating to Canada. The school house was located at an intersection called Hood's Corner. The school is still standing today, but is a private residence. The Common School Report for 1827 (From the Journal of Assembly of Upper Canada - 1928) shows that William Hood was one of six teachers in Dalhousie Township. William Hood had 12 boys and 10 girls in his classroom.

The soil in Dalhousie Township was quite rocky, causing many of the original emigrants, and many of the first generation children, to relocate to western Ontario where the soil was better. William and Martha did not leave, probably because William had his teaching pay (whatever he could collect in money or other things such as food) besides his farm to supplement his income.

On the Canadian 1871 Census, William and Martha are age 71 and are living with their son John and his family. John and his family are still living in Lanark County, Ontario at this time.

William married Martha Park. Martha (daughter of James Park, I and Marrion Allen) was born in 1799 in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland; was christened on 31 Jan 1799 in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 21 Jan 1880 in Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Saint Andrew's Cemetery, Watson's Corner, Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Died:
Plympton Twp, Lambton County, Ontario, Canada

Marion's parents may have been Hugh Allen and Mary Park. She married James Park on Aug. 8, 1788 in Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland. James was born Feb. 9, 1766 and worked as a coallier in Scotland; he was the son of James Park and Martha Connell who were married July 17, 1768. James is thought to have died in Plympton Twp., Lambton Co., Ontario.

UPDATED INFO - October 2013 - Marion is probably not buried at Umpherston Cemetery. She probably relocated to Plympton Twp., Lambton Co., and is buried there, location unknown. This information is based on L. Hanson's work in finding Hugh Park's will.
