After the signing of the register the happy couple left for a short wedding trip en route to Toronto and Niagara and upon returning took up their residence in Drummond.

    Notes:

    Was christened Henry Harry. He spent his boyhood in Bruce Cty on the 4th Con of Elderslie Twp. after his mother remarried McPherson.

    John was 14 and Harry was 10 when his Mother moved to Bruce Cty. as a young man, he earned his living clearing trees for farmers who had purchased forested property in the Chesley and Paisley areas of Bruce County in western Ontario.

    They returned to the farm when young men and divided the land. John lived on the farm and Harry purchased a small farm at the south end of the village. Harry later sold his share of the farm to John when he moved to Bathurst around 1903.

    Ed MacPherson's obituary in the Calgary Albertan of 23 Jun 1937 states "In the fall of 1883 Ed McPherson, then a lad of 17, along with his half-brother (Harry Mather) and two other young men, went west and contracted the building of the CPR roadbed." According to the Albertan, the grade they built is now the present site of Calgary.

    When the work was finished on the railroad Harry Mather returned to Middleville and, according to the Perth Courier of 26 Mar 1886, he married and settled on the Stead farm near Middleville.

    Harry later bought Long Bill Keay's (George Ennis') and wrote to JC asking if he wanted to farm. JC farmed for a year and sold it to Allan Keays.

    ?u?From Grandpa (John Cumming) Mather's recollections:?/u?
    His father contracted on the western railroad, driving a team of horses pulling a scraper, to level the RR bed through western SK and Eastern AB. Indians stole several teams of horses. He walked to Long Lake, MN to the home of John Mather who lived there because winter was setting in. When he left to come home he was given two five dollar gold pieces for having worked. They were given to a 'Harry Mather' ( some connection to Georgia), who was named for his great? grandfather Mather. ( I haven't identified this individual at this time but it may be Harry Putnam Mather (RIN 1193).

    He spent his boyhood in Bruce Cty on the 4th Con of Elderslie Twp. after his mother remarried McPherson.

    ?u?From Gordon Mather Verbal Recollection 3/29/2014?/u?
    Henry's (Harry) Mather's team of horses were stolen by natives passing through the area and he and a MacPherson (or was it a Stead) trailed the horses which were shod south eventually losing the trail. They ended up in Billings MT and decided to head for his uncle's in MN as winter was setting in. They worked there and were paid in gold coins. When Harry Mather from (Maryland, Georgia?) was borned he was named after (Henry, Harry) his uncle.

    On a trip to Florida, Uncle Gord, Aunt Jean and Grandpa Mather (JC Mather) were passing through ? and Grandpa when stopped for the evening made contact and as a result the trio were invited for breakfast the next morning. Grandpa, Uncle Gord and Aunt Jean were shown a gold coin, framed and mounted on the wall of his study by Harry Mather, one of Henry's gold coins. Apparently Harry had made a trip north when a boy to meet his namesake and was given the remaining coin by Henry, Harry Mather.

    "Wemyss.
    Death has laid low one of our old neighbors in the person of Mr. Ewen Cameron, in the 75th year of his age. He was of Highland Scotch descent. His father and mother came from Aberdeen, and deceased was born on their farm close to Bathurst Station. He was a genial, good neighbor. He and Mr. George O'Brien got the first threshing machine in the township of Bathurst, in the shape of an old Hull machine, about fifty years ago, and the deceased got a seperator and power about forty-five years ago. He threshed in Bathurst, Drummond, Sherbrooke and Burgess. About two years ago the grippe attacked him and on the 10th inst. death claimed his victim. His funeral on the 12th by its size showed the respect felt for him, as about seventy buggies followed the hearse to the old burying ground in Perth, where he was laid beside his mother in the Presbyterian enclosure. The Rev. Mr. Hague officiated. He leaves a wife and five boys and three girls to lament the loss of a kind husband and father."
