Notes:

Mill Wright, lived and worked in Glen Tay at the woollen mill.
He was accidently killed when his clothing came in contact with a rapidly revolving shaft. He was replacing a belt on a moving pulley at the time and without warning he was caught, it is believed, by a projecting part of the machinery. His body was carried round the shaft many times, which was quite close to the ceiling and before the power could be shut off and the machinery stopped he was so badly injured that he died almost at once.

Birth:
Munro saga suggest that it may have been 1845 - age 34 at his death however I think 1842 is accurate.

Horrible Accident at Glen Tay - A Man Torn to Pieces on a Revolving Shaft
?/b?On Tuesday morning last, the people of Perth were shocked to hear that an employee in the Glen Tay Woolen Mill, named Alexander Barber had been killed while working in the mill. Further particulars showed that the accident was attended with unusual details. It seemed that the deceased had stepped upon a soap barrel to sew up the small belt connectiong the small governor of the water-wheel with the main shaft, which was fixed about eighteen inches from the ceiling above, and in the basement of the building. The top of the barrel being greasy, his foot slipped and to save himself from falling reached out his hand to grasp the main shaft, which was turning at the rate of 119 revolutions per minute. Instantly his shirt was caught up by the shaft, which drew both it and him around it and hurled his body with tremendous force against the floor above. The blow knocked a hole clean through the floor, and no doubt killed the victim almost instantly. The mutilated body revolved with the shaft with un diminished velocity, each time striking the floor and shattering both body and floor at each revolution. Meantime the accident had thrown the controlling machinery out of gear and it was found impossible to stop the water-wheel by the ordinary method and as a last resort the water was shut off at the gatehead. The machinery then grdually stopped as the water supply diminished, and at last after the body had been carried around the shaft many hundred times, the motion ceased and the mangled corpse taken down.

The remains then presented a sickening spectacle. Both hands and feet had been torn off and thrown some distance. The head was bruised and crushed out of all shape and the body generally was broken and torn apart. Bones wer found driven into the floor above and all over. Flesh, liquid adn bones were strewn about. Alone in the weaving room the looms near the hole in the floor were be-splattered with blood. No wonder those who witnessed the site turned sick with horror. The burial took place the next day and was attended by a very large concourse of friends and neighbours.

Mr. Barber was a popular and respected employee in the factory. He was extremely well behaved and had no enemies. He leaves a widow and six children (incorrect, Three children and wife Janet was expecting their fourth child), and a large number of relatives in the village to mourn his terrible death.

An inquest was held on the remains by Dr. Hendra, coroner, and a verdict of 'accidental death' was returned.

Alexander married Janet Munroe on 8 Aug 1870 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Janet (daughter of Peter Munroe and Margaret Tysick) was born on 19 Oct 1845 in Bathurst Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 1 Dec 1915 in Lanark Village, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Scotch Line Cemetery, Scotch Line, Burgess Twp, Lanark, Ontario, Canada.

This contradicts Peter Munro document:
Peter (age 52, a weaver) and Mary Munro and family traveled to Canada from Argyleshire Scotland in 1820 on either the ship '?b?Brook?/b?' (7 families, Transatlantic Society) departed 9 July 1820, arriving 21 Au 1820, Dougal Cowan, Master or the '?b?Prompt?/b?' (370 people, 33 families were members of Lesmahago Society), departed 4 July 1820, arriving at Quebec 4 Sep 1820, Joseph Nairn, Master.

Traveled to Canada with Dobbie family, later the families were to intermarry.

Residence:
Settled on Dalhousie C1 L10. Moved to Bathurst in 1835.

The land is described as rough and stony, and not suitable for extensive agriculture. Inspected by the author about 1934, he notes very little improvements have been made to it. Practically all the tillable land has been broken and is in crop by the present owner, but the greater portion of the acreage is still in its original state. He continues, "A good road runs along the northwest boundary of the lot from the village of Watson's Corners, which is not more than two miles away. The concession road, however, on which the farm faces has never been opened up for traffic, although there is abundant evidence to show that this road has been used to some extent in the early days. The right-of-way is now overgrown with trees and shrubbery and is altogether impassable."

Peter Munro applied for a patent, 4 Apr 1838, as a member of the Lanark Society Settlers of 1820, for Dalhousie Twp Con 1 E1/2 Lot10. His patent had not arrived with those of the other settlers. The patent was granted 1 June 1938. On 8 July 1840 he sold the property to James MacMillan, 100 acres for ?50, who in turn passed it on to a son and daughter who later conveyed it to Charles McArthur. The property changed hands three times before being acquired by Charles Caldwell (owner in 1934).?i?
?/i?
Fire raged through this part of Lanark in 1870, and in 1934 only foundations of the buildings were evident. A spring, located on the SE corner of the lot, about 25 yards from the NE boundary, close to the division road between the townships of Dalhousie and Lanark was known as the Munro spring (1934). The traveled road runs along the NW side of the farm.


Land & Property:
20 Jan 1835, he purchased the rear part of the W1/2 of ?b?L6 C3 Bathurst ?/b?from John McNie for ?65. It was?b? ?/b?situated about ten or eleven miles west of Perth (63 acres adjacent to front part of West half of ?b?C3?/b? ?b?L6 Bathurst ?/b?owned by son John in 1850's). The deed was registered 9 July 1845. Peter, his son, was a resident on this property.

Peter Munro lived on this property for the rest of his life and when he died this property transferred to his youngest son Roderick, who in turn left the property to his grand-niece Mary Jane Munro.
Peter Munro's will was witnessed by Andrew Miller and James Patterson.
