Died:
James Halliday was born to John Halliday and Margaret Johnstone at Boreland, Hutton Parish, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, being baptized there on January 29, 1814. He died on October 3, 1909, at Perth, Ontario, with burial in Elmwood Cemetery at that place.

At the age of eighteen months he was taken to Canada to settle on the Scotch Line near Perth, Ontario. There he attended the elementary school taught by his father.
On January 29, 1839, he married Janet Allan, a daughter of Francis Allan who had been one of the pioneers on the Scotch Line. A family of twelve was born to the union, two of whom died in infancy. Janet Allan died in 1859 (at the age of seventy. Subsequently James married twice more, to Elizabeth Crawford on March 13, 1891, and upon her death to Sarah Ann Turner on December 8, 1899.

James continued to farm throughout his active life, living on his father's homestead. He bought the homestead in 1846, paying his father ?330 for the freehold. In 1876 he sold the farm to James Armour for $5,600. The plot of land in which his parents and two siblings were buried was "reserved" from the sale, and right of access to it by members of the Halliday family was guaranteed in perpetuity. In the same year he retired to Perth where he resided until his death.

He took an active interest in municipal affairs, being Reeve of North Burgess for a number of years and the Township's representative on the County Council. His obituary in the Perth Courier stated: "In politics he was a Conservative and in religion a Presbyterian". This religious affiliation must have existed in four different Perth congregations. From 1817 to 1830, it was First Presbyterian from 1830 to 1836, St. Andrew's Church of Scotland; from 1836 to 1845, Reformed Presbyterian (Cameronian). In 1845 Knox Church was established in Perth, a congregation of the Free Presbyterian Church, and James became a charter member of it. He was a member of its Board of Management until a few years before his death and the teacher of the congregation's Bible Class for many years.

Upon his death in 1909, his obituary in the local paper, after recording events in his life, summed up his character in the words, "He was a man of common-sense ideas, practical in everything and his opinion was always sought for and valued''.

James married Jane C. Allan on 29 Jan 1839 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Jane (daughter of Francis Allan and Jannet Cowie) was born on 6 May 1820 in Bathurst Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 3 Jul 1890 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

"Thompson. In the demise of Mrs. William J. Thompson which took place on Saturday at the residence of her son Carr Thompson, 7th concession of Drummond, there is lost to this vicinity another pioneer. Deceased's maiden name was Margaret Frost, born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1807, the daughter of John Frost who was baillie of Aberdeen. When but 10 years of age she came to this district in company of her mother and half-brother, James McKay who started the first forge in Perth. In 1824 she married the late W. J. Thompson, who emigrated from Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1813. The latter's father's house was the third house erected in Perth, the Government store being first, and Mr. DeLisle's the second. Mr. Thompson was a shoemaker by trade and worked his calling until 1837, when he moved his family to the homestead on the Scotch Line. He farmed until the year of his death 1884, when the subject of this obituary went to reside with her son Carr in Drummond. Mrs. Thompson had always enjoyed excellent health, but for some time was seen to be failing. Her death is attributed to a breaking-up of the system, she being in her ninety-fifth year. Out of a family of thirteen, there are ten living. They are, Samuel of Scotch Line; W. G., of South Sherbrooke; James of Ottawa; Nicholas, of Washago; John and David, of Bracebridge; Carr, of Drummond Township; Joseph, of Carleton Place; Mrs. Currie, of Almonte, and Mrs. Cameron, of North Bay. The funeral took place on Monday from the residence of her son, Carr, to the Methodist Cemetery, the Rev. G. C. Rock officiating."
