    Died:
    Death of Mr. David Mather.
    Another gap has been made in the fast diminishing ranks of the old Middleville settlers. David Mather, aged 78 years, passed away to his long home Friday afternoon. He had not been well for years, and throughout the last three or four months had suffered almost continuously from a bad form of stomach trouble. Mr. David Mather was born on tha homestead at Middleville, but having a turn for carpentry followed that calling in his younger days. Two brothers, Robert and Matthew, of Bancroft, and one sister, Mrs. Wm. Somerville, are survivors of one of the best known and most respected families of the district. Mr. Mather married Isabella Gillies and two of a family George and Ida are left to mourn a devoted father. Deceased was a staunch supporter of the Reform party. In church matters he was Congregationalist. The funeral took place on Sunday at one o'clock to Middleville Congregational church and thence to cemetery.

    Notes:

    Native of Lauderdale, Scotland. Eldest son of John and Isobel.

    John with wife and two daughters born in Scotland, came to Canada in 1820-22 on the ship Commerce as members of the Lanark Society Settlers. They landed in Quebec, traveled by river boat to Brockville, then overland to Perth where they drew lots for land allocations. In 1822, they settled at just south of Middleville, on W1/2 Lot 14 Concession 6 in Lanark Township, Lanark County.

    John was a tradesman, a mason. He built both a stone house and a stone barn on the property and later worked with two other masons to build a new two story schoolhouse used from 1860s to 1970.
    He was a member of the Masonic Lodge.

    ?u?From Introduction to Mather Genealogy?/u?
    John Mather and Robena Lunan emigrated from Scotland as part ofthe Lanark Society
    Settlers arOlmd 1820 -1822. They sailed on the ship "Commerce" which landed at
    Quebec City and from there by riverboat on the St. Lawrence River to Brockville, from
    Brockville overland to Perth which had been settled four years earlier in 1816 by
    pensioners from the British army. Lots were drawn at Perth from where they went out
    to the piece ofland allotted to them It is said they crossed the Clyde River on a log
    near what is now Lanark village. John and Robena settled on 100 acres, the west half
    of Lot 14, Concession 6, Lanark Township, Lanark County, which is just south ofthe
    village of Middleville.
    John and Robena were married in Oldhamstocks, East Lothian, Scotland, in November 1816. John was the oldest son of John Mather and his wife Isobel Gordon. Robena Lunan was the daughter ofThomas Lunan and his wife Margaret Ainslie ofBerwick County, Scotland. (John and Robena's tombstone in Middleville Greenwood Cemetery indicates they were natives ofLauderdale, Scotland.) They had two daughters born in Scotland who accompanied them to Canada, as well as seven additional children born in Canada for a family ofnine.
    is said John actually settled on his farm in 1822 accompanied by two little girls. As his son John was born in 1822 it is probable that Robena stayed elsewhere until she had given birth.
    John was a stone mason by trade and built a stone house and bam on his land and later helped two other stone masons build a new two-story stone school house, (8.S. No.6, Lanark -Middleville Public School) used from the 1860's to 1970. It is now a Museum in the village ofMiddleville.

    ?u?From Somerville-Mather Clan History 1947
    ?/u?John erected a stone house and stone barn on the property. The barn was destroyed by a cyclone and replaced by a wooden structure. This in turn was destroyed by fire in the spring of 1934, and a new barn erected in early summer. The house also suffered in a second cyclone that passed over the property and took a portion of the house in its wake. The other portion remains to mark the ancestral home of these sturdy pioneers.
