151	"procured a farm lot on the river Tay, about three miles and a half (3?) west of the town, which included a very valueable mill site, where he erected mills and made other improvements, a little village springing up aroud, long known as Adamsville, but now bearing the name of Glen Tay." This site was originally granted to Abraham Parsall and it is believed that he had already established a sawmill and gristmill on this property. It appears that the Ritchie family may have operated this mill for a period of time in addition to the 'Ritchie Mill' a few miles further up the river. Others operated the mill on behalf of the mill owners in later years.	Adams, Capt. Joshua Esq. (I13885)

155	"Sudden Death. On Tuesday last, Mr. Philip McGowan, Scotch Line, Bathurst, was driven by his son Daniel to a neighbor's, Mr. Thomas McKinley, for a visit, the old man being in apparent excellent health. They took an early afternoon meal, and Mr. McGowan ate heartily. In the course of the meal, Mrs. McKinely asked him some question, and while answering it, Mr. McGowan's head dropped forward, and death came to him there and then. Heart weakening resulting from extreme old age was the cause. Deceased was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, born in 1804, and came to Canada when seventeen years of age, first living in South Sherbrooke. Many years after he bought the Consitt farm, on the Tay River, Bathurst, and after that purchased his present farm, Scotch Line, Bathurst, two miles from Perth. He marries Miss Mary Buchanan, daughter of Sergeant Buchanan, who with a number of children survive him. He lived to the green old age of eighty-eight years, leaving behind him the esteem and respect of his friends and neighbors. He was a Roman Catholic in religion, and in politics an unfailing Liberal." [Col. 1, Pg. 5; The Perth Courier; Friday, 18 Mar 1892; Vol. LVIII, No. 28] Interred March 17th [St. John's Register]	McGowan, Philip (I44081)
156	"Tales of a Grandmother" After all the rest of the children were married, I, as Youngest, lived on with father and mother in the old home. Mother sick for several years before her death. And I cared for her and kept house. One day in 1883, there was great excitement in our small house on the farm. A letter had come to mother from a lawyer by the name of Walbridge, who lived in Philadelphia. The letter stated that he had received a letter from a lawyer in England, saying that a fortune had been left to Franklin Walbridge, my mother's father. If he was not living, it was to go to his oldest living child. At that time of course, Grandfather Walbridge had been dead some time. And mother was his oldest living the fortune would go to her. If it was not claimed by the American heirs, it would go to the Crown. As you can imagine we spent that fortune many times over, in our minds. I answered the letter for mother, and asked the lawyer what we must do to claim the fortune. In replying he said that we would have to pay the way of two people to England, to prove that mother was the heir. We had no money to use far that purpose, and in those days you could not borrow that amount. So the only chance we had to spend the fortune was in imagination. But I have always felt that it was a pity we were unable to get it, for mother could have had so many comforts in her illness, that we were unable to give her. I had known John Whitson for many years. He came with his father and mother from Brockville, Eastern Canada, in 1850. And as I have said before, his father owned the flour mill at Granville, on the other side of the river. John worked in his father's mill until he was eighteen years old. Then his father failed in business; and John had to leave school and help him?.[1 line unreadable] died in Fergus Falls, where he was superintendent of water works. After that in 1884, John and I decided to marry and live on our farm with father and mother. For as long as mother lived I could not leave her. On August twenty sixth, we made ready to go to Red Wing to be married. John Tyner and Loreen McElrath were going with us as our only attendants. I was all dressed in my wedding finery; a dress of brown velvet and cashmere with a lace fischu, and cream lace at the sleeves. My bonnet was my pride and joy. It was made of cream silk with a spray of white flowers. Al took us in the lumber wagon to the small platform on the railroad near Granville. We climbed out, and Al rattled away in the wagon to Granville, where he was to get some groceries for Minnie. Just as the train whistled, we discovered that my satchel was still in the wagon. We yelled at Al, but the old wagon rattled so that he did not hear us. John Tyner said he would try and catch Al, and if he didn't get back in time we were to go on without him. John's long legs fairly flew over the road, yelling to Al at every jump. As he got nearer, Al heard him and stopped. John grabbed the satchel, and managed to get back, just as the train stopped. We were married in Christ Church, Red Wing. And the next day came back to Aunt Minnie' s where in the evening we had the infare, with all the old friends gathered to help us celebrate. John worked our little farm, until mother died in 1885. Then the home was broken up. Father visited among his children, until he died at the home of Orlow, near Little Falls. After leaving the old home, John and I rented a farm, and farmed it, until we moved to Randolph; where John worked in a creamery for eight years. Lynn was born there in 1887; we lived in Northfield one year, where John was in partnership in a livery stable. After one year we came back to Randolph, where we lived with the exception of a short time in Stanton. In a few years, John bought a quarter interest in the elevator at Sauk Centre. And in 1898 we moved up there. That became our permanent home. In 1923 John died. Lynn, with his family has lived in Sauk Centre for many years. And so the years have slipped by; leaving some sad memories and many happy ones. But somehow as I look back over the years, I find that the hard, sad days have slipped into the background; and the happy days seem fresh in my memory. In this little family history, I have tried to make the friends who made those days happy, live again; and bring with them the joy and laughter of days very different from these modern ones, but not less full of gladness and contentment.

163	"The same day, word was brought that, on his way to Brockville, William Ferrier had been killed by the wheel of his waggon passing over him. Soon after we were informed that a tree had fallen across the road, and crushed him to death. But a third person brought word that one of the barrels of potash, with which the waggon was loaded, had rolled over him and crushed his head. Now it turned out that none of these accounts was correct, for the tree, which had fallen across the hinder part of the waggon, had caused the fore part to fly up and strike him under the chin, breaking his jaws, and perhaps his neck, as he sat at the front of the waggon. He died about half an hour after the accident, at Jebbs creek." "What his parents and relations, but especially his poor wife felt, on hearing these things, I shall not attempt to describe. He was a young man in the prime of his life, about 25, but much addicted to drinking, after the example of his father, with whom he often quarrelled when in liquor, and once he struck and hurt him considerably. "The distress of the parents was much increased by the learning, about the same time, that their only daughter, a fine girl of about 20, but both deaf and dumb, was with child by a great boy the eldest son of their next door neighbour. ?i?(This story continued with the Agnes Ferrier story.)?/i? "Next morning I rode to their house, which was five miles off, to afford them all the consolation in my power. The body of William had just been brought home. The blood had beeen washed away, but the face was disfigured, and had a ghastly appearance. His parents expressed their grief by sighs and groans, but the poor widow embraced the inanamate corpse, and kissed its cold lips, sobbing out, William! My dear William, little did I think we were so soon to part. After the body was placed in the coffin all sat down, and I addressed them on the best means of improving the distressing event that had brought us together, and prayed that the Lord would prepare us all for death, for judgement, and eternity, that he would comfort and support the parents, and provide for the widow and her fatherless children. On the following day I attended the funeral, and made an address to the people at the grave, but a very heavy rain compelled me to cut it shorter than I intended. Rev.

He had lived under five British Sovereigns."	Ewing, Alexander (I46633)
167	"There passed away in Montreal last Thursday, January 19 in the person of Mrs. Margaret Webster, a lady who at one time was a well known resident of Perth. She was born here in 1847 [?] and was a daughter of William Lillie, a prominent businessman and one of the pioneers of Perth. Her brother, Robert Lillie was one of the most active figures in the industrial life of our town for many years prior to his removal to Vancouver, B.C. As a young lady, Miss Margaret Lillie was a zealous worker in Knox church during the ministry of Rev. Messrs. Duncan and Barns serving for a long time as teacher in the Sabbath school. On her marriage in 1875[?] to Mr. George Webster of Montreal she removed to that city, and at once entered into the religious philanthropic work of the great metropolis. She became identified with St. Paul's Presbyterian church, and during the ministry of Rev. Dr. Barclay, was one of his most faithful and active workers. She had charge of a large primary class in Nazareth St. for many years and was an active worker in the ladies aid, W.F.M.S. and other church organisations. But she was too broad-minded and large hearted to confine her activities to her own church. Those in poverty or distress, regardless of their denomination, found in her a ready friend and helper. Many a sufferer, too, in hospitals of Montreal have been cheered by her timely visits. After the death of her husband in 1900, most of her time was devoted to relief work among the poor. Mrs. Webster's sudden death in Montreal came as a great shock to her many friends. The remains were brought to Perth for interment. The funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon at the home of her niece Mrs. Samuel Thornbury, and was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Carrier of Knox church assisted by Rev. Mr. Richardson of Asbury church. A large concourse of mourning friends accompanied the body to its last resting-place in Elmwood cemetery. Mrs. Webster is survived by her brother, Robert Lillie of Vancouver and by several nephews and nieces."	Lillie, Anna Margaret (I46348)
168	"They left Liverpool on a sailing vessel that took six weeks to make the crossing to Montreal. They had got within a few days of Montreal when a storm from the west blew them back out into the Atlantic. During the voyage the two older girls , Mary and Sarah, prepared the meals. From Montreal they made their way to Brockville, Ontario where they spent the winter and then went up to Perth area where they rented farms for a number of years, including Bromley, a hamlet about 5 miles NW of Perth(sic, actually in Renfrew county) (where their youngest son James was born).The Bromley place may have been rented from the McNabs and if so, it would mark the beginning of a long-standing inter-family association. On the 13th of May 1867 John purchased, for 800 pounds, the SW 1/2 and NE 1/2 of Lot 16, Bathurst Twp. Lanark Co. from Thomas Wilson, son of John's uncle George Wilson. George had settled there in 1816 and had encouraged John to emmigrate to the Perth area. George Wilson* built the wood frame portion of what we call the "Gibson family home" in the 1830's on the SW 1/2 of lot 16. John later acquired the adjoining southern portion of lot 17 (see photo of 1850's map), giving him a total of about 300 acres. In the 1880's John's son William built a larger brick house, attaching the old wood frame building to the rear of it. ?i?Posted 04 May 2012 by grantg5 Obit suggest that he arrived in 1845.?/i?

169	"This marks the place long known as The Pegg Burying Ground. It was set aside by Isaac Pegg (1751-1832) who came here in 1798 from Pennsylvania and with his sons secured from the Crown lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the 4th Con. E. Gwillimbury. He built a dam and carding mill on the rear of lot 10, which later became a saw mill, and later a grist mill. He made bricks and built himself a brick house on lot 8. Today his many hundreds of descendents are found from Ottawa to the Pacific Coast. Isaac Pegg was a grandson of Daniel Pegg, an English Quaker and early settler in America, where Philadelphia now stands."	Pegg, Isaac (I42015)
170	"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.

172	"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 ?b?he was laid beside his mother in the Presbyterian enclosure?/b?.

173	"When Grandmother Small left Mother the farm it had a couple of barns and a house too small for a big family. Dad was a good carpenter and loved that work. He built us a very nice frame house with four bedrooms upstairs, a living room, hall, dining room, kitchen and pantry and two bedrooms downstairs. It was a lovely home with lots of fruit and flowering trees. I loved that home but when we moved to Bothwell in 1914 I never saw it again. The people who bought it managed to burn it. The reason for trading was to be near a high school. It was too expensive to board children in Sarnia. We moved to Bothwell and in August 1914 the war broke out in Europe. Gord and Earl had some military training in Niagara-on-the-Lake so they enlisted at once.	Small, Eliza Jane "Betty" (I33567)
174	"WILSON. In the death of Mr. Samuel Wilson, of Bathurst, which took place on Saturday morning last, there is ended a generation of one of the earliest, if not the earliest settlers of this county. Death came with a suddenness, and cut off from this world of activity a man who was the embodiment of everything that stood for good and advancement. Mr. Wilson attended the funeral of his niece Mrs. Brownlee on Friday after Christmas, and in a week plus one day more is himself a corpse. On nomination day he attended at the Bathurst Town Hall, and as ever took a keen interest in the proceedings. While there he suffered a sharp pain in the small of his back, and was at once sent to his home. Medical assistance was given him, but the doctor said that his once iron frame had collapsed. Mr. Wilson lingered on till Saturday early in the morning, when his soul cast off from its frail anchor - the body. Deceased gentleman was born on the Wilson homestead in Bathurst, sixth line, in 1834, the son of James Wilson. His father with his grandfather emigrated from County Armagh, Ireland, shortly after the beginning of the nineteenth century. The exact year is not known, but it was some time before 1815, as in that year three French settlers, who were taken prisoners at Waterloo and given their discharge, settled opposite the Wilsons, and the latter were the first in that primeval forest. Naturally, they had to carve out a farm for themselves, and this was a matter of no small difficulty. The old country people were not good with the axe; they could flail peas and dig drains, but their younger sons could chop all around them. Mr. James Wilson, the father of the deceased, helped to chop along Foster Street, town. He died some thirty-five years ago, and in ten years was followed to the grave by his life-partner, who was a Scotch woman of a strong frame. The subject of this obituary grew up practically with the Township of Bathurst. About thirty-four years ago, he married Jennie [sic - Jane or Jean], daughter of Neil McLaren, of the 4th line Bathurst, His wife and five children survive: Fred. of homestead; William 6 line Bathurst; Edwin, a dental student; Mrs. James McViety, Elmsley, and Miss Bella at home. Mrs. Wodden, of town, is a first cousin. Mr. Wilson perhaps was the most prominent man in all Bathurst. We was a very successful farmer, and was looked up to by all. He was very muscular, standing over six feet in height. His services were required in the Township Council, and the confidence arising from his duty as councillor he inspired in his fellow farmers resulted in his election as Reeve. In the County Council he used the same wise and cool judgement, and was appointed Warden. In all Mr. Wilson spent some twenty or twenty-five years in the service of the municipality of Bathurst. The best interests, of not only Bathurst but the whole country, were his interests and he fought for them. Mr. Wilson was identified with all prominent associations, and was one of the founders of the Lanark County Mutual Farmer's Fire Insurance Company in 1896. He was elected to the directorate and three years ago chosen president. A prominent man of this town in speaking of the deceased gentleman said he was a splendid businessman, with a sense of up-rightness and honor in his make-up. He was know far and wide in the county and enjoyed every man's confidence. He could give an opinion on almost every subject and back it up logically. His death removes one whose familiar and cheery face will be missed by many, and he is the last of his generation. The funeral took place on Monday to Elmwood Cemetery and was over a mile long. Six nephews acted as pall-bearers: Dr. S. C. Wilson, A. T. Wilson, J. C. Wilson, James Darou, Edward K. Wilson, and Ernie Wilson, North Gower. The Rev. Mr. Currie conducted the services."

Upon her marriage, her husband located on the sixth line, Bathurst, where he lived until his death nine years ago. Surviving are three sons and two daughters: Frederick, on homestead; William N., on 5th line; Dr. Edwin H., town; Mrs. James McVeety, Port Elmsley, and Mrs. J. E. Anderson, Manion.

178	#186 pg.823, 824 1957, Almonte Gazette, front page, Thursday April 11 ?b?Well Known Citizen Lost?/b? Almonte lost one of its best known citizens in the death, Saturday night at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, of William Caldwell Pollock. He was in his 92nd year and while in failing (health) somewhat physically, he had been out walking two weeks before his death and he had been confined to his bed only about 10 days. Mr. Pollock was a very well preserved man and he retained his habitual cheerfulness and mental alertness to the end. He had a fine manner and was popular with the young people as well as the more elderly section of the town's population. He was interested in such sports as lacrosse, baseball and hockey and retained his enthusiasm in this respect to the end. He conducted a general insurance business for 56 years and at the time of his retirement last August, when he sold to his nephew, Mr. R.A. Jamieson, QC, he enjoyed the distinction of being the town's oldest businessman in point of time and age. He had his office in the post office building - the same one in which he served as collector of customs until Almonte ceased to be a port in 1929. There he was to be found every business day, despite increasing years, carrying on as usual until he decided that the time had come when he must take it easy. The period of retirement turned out to be short - little more than six months. ?b?Native of Lanark?/b? Mr Pollock was born in Lanark Village August 4, 1865, the eldest child of Robert and Mary Ann Pollock. The family moved to Brockville in 1875 and to Almonte in 1880. He was educated in Brockville and Almonte Public Schoools and in Almonte High School under P.C. McGregor. He is the last of his high school classmates so far as is know some of whom were, Dr James Naismith, Dr R Tait McKenzie, Dr Welland Gemmill, Dr Peter Drummond, Mr Dan Drummond, Bruce Crusoe, Harold Jamieson, W.H. Stafford, Walter Lawson, James Steele, Robert Knowles, James Knowles, John McLaren and Leslie Ferguson. In his holidays he worked for A. Caldwell and Son, who then operated a sawmill near what has always been called 'the Island' on the banks of the Mississippi River just above the Fair Grounds. Mr Pollock returned to Lanark Village in 1883 to take charge of the lumber business of W.C. Caldwell. He came back to Almonte in 1884 to work in the office of the Victoria Woolen Mill better known as no. 2 mill, operated by Elliott and Shiriffs, later owned by Elliott and Company. He left the employ of the Ellioot and Co. mill to operate his own lumber yard in Almonte and managed the Merilees flour mill her and in Blakeney. He was named Collector of Customs, here in 1889, suceeding J.M. Munro, and continued in that position until 1929, when he was superannuated. ?b?Continued in Business?/b? Mr Pollock continued his general insurance business in Almonte as recorded above. He married Bertha Cole, daughter of J.K. Cole in 1890 and they celebrated their golden wedding in September 1940. He acted as Assessor in Almonte for 25 years and was the town auditor for the same period. He was a member of Mississippi Lodge, A.F. and A.M., Almonte and Granite Chapter of Royal Arch Mason. He held a 50 year Past Master jewel and a 50 year Past 1st Principal Jewel. He was a regular lodge attendant at both of these lodges for many years. His wife died in December 1940, and his oldest son, Robert died in 1900. His sons are Frank J. Pollock of Windsor and William W. Pollock, QC, of Carleton Place.There are two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mr Pollock was a long and faithful member of Almonte United Church and Bethany Church before Trinity merged with it. He was on the official Board; served on the Board of Managers, was member of the Cemetery Board and at the time of his death was still on of the church trustees. ?b?The Funeral?/b? The funeral was held from the Kerry-Scott Funeral Home, Elgin Streeet, Tuesday afternoon to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. In the absence of the regular United Church pastor, Rev Fred Williams of Carleton Place conducted the services. Pallbearers were: Messrs Raymond A. Jamieson, QC, William A. Jamieson, H.B. Kirkland, Donald M. Cameron, Benson Cole, Ottawa and A.S. Hanna. There were many relatives and friends from out of town especially from Ottawa, Carleton Place and Perth. Mr G.R. McLennan, formerly of Almonte and now clerk of the Supreme Court at Perth was among them as was Mr Pete Burchell of Perth, Liberal candidate in the forthcoming general election. Among the beautiful floral tributes were pieces from the following: Granite Chapter No. 61, Almonte; Bar Assn of Lanark County; Carleton Place Branch of the Canadian Legion No. 192; Management Canadian Bridge Co, Walkerville, Ont.; Board of Trustees, Almonte United Church; Corporation of Carleton Place; Mississippi Lodge No. 147, Almonte; Western Assurance Company.

Pollock have the deepest sympathy of their numerous friends in the death on Sunday morning last of Robert, their eldest son, a bright and promising little fellow of seven years. The child had been ill with diptheria, and was recovering nicely, though in a very weak state. On Saturday night he took a weak turn, and during Saturday night the spark of life went out. A sad feature was that Mrs. Pollock and the children were unable to be with the dying boy owing to the nature of the illness from which he had been suffering. The funeral took place oon Sunday afternoon, to the eight line cemetery, and was largely attended, notwithstanding the short notice.	Pollock, Robert (I37298)

"procured a farm lot on the river Tay, about three miles and a half (3?) west of the town, which included a very valueable mill site, where he erected mills and made other improvements, a little village springing up aroud, long known as Adamsville, but now bearing the name of Glen Tay."
This site was originally granted to Abraham Parsall and it is believed that he had already established a sawmill and gristmill on this property.
It appears that the Ritchie family may have operated this mill for a period of time in addition to the 'Ritchie Mill' a few miles further up the river. Others operated the mill on behalf of the mill owners in later years.

"Sudden Death. On Tuesday last, Mr. Philip McGowan, Scotch Line, Bathurst, was driven by his son Daniel to a neighbor's, Mr. Thomas McKinley, for a visit, the old man being in apparent excellent health. They took an early afternoon meal, and Mr. McGowan ate heartily. In the course of the meal, Mrs. McKinely asked him some question, and while answering it, Mr. McGowan's head dropped forward, and death came to him there and then. Heart weakening resulting from extreme old age was the cause. Deceased was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, born in 1804, and came to Canada when seventeen years of age, first living in South Sherbrooke. Many years after he bought the Consitt farm, on the Tay River, Bathurst, and after that purchased his present farm, Scotch Line, Bathurst, two miles from Perth. He marries Miss Mary Buchanan, daughter of Sergeant Buchanan, who with a number of children survive him. He lived to the green old age of eighty-eight years, leaving behind him the esteem and respect of his friends and neighbors. He was a Roman Catholic in religion, and in politics an unfailing Liberal."

"Tales of a Grandmother"

After all the rest of the children were married, I, as Youngest, lived on with father and mother in the old home. Mother sick for several years before her death. And I cared for her and kept house.

One day in 1883, there was great excitement in our small house on the farm. A letter had come to mother from a lawyer by the name of Walbridge, who lived in Philadelphia. The letter stated that he had received a letter from a lawyer in England, saying that a fortune had been left to Franklin Walbridge, my mother's father. If he was not living, it was to go to his oldest living child. At that time of course, Grandfather Walbridge had been dead some time. And mother was his oldest living the fortune would go to her. If it was not claimed by the American heirs, it would go to the Crown. As you can imagine we spent that fortune many times over, in our minds. I answered the letter for mother, and asked the lawyer what we must do to claim the fortune. In replying he said that we would have to pay the way of two people to England, to prove that mother was the heir. We had no money to use far that purpose, and in those days you could not borrow that amount. So the only chance we had to spend the fortune was in imagination. But I have always felt that it was a pity we were unable to get it, for mother could have had so many comforts in her illness, that we were unable to give her.

I had known John Whitson for many years. He came with his father and mother from Brockville, Eastern Canada, in 1850. And as I have said before, his father owned the flour mill at Granville, on the other side of the river. John worked in his father's mill until he was eighteen years old. Then his father failed in business; and John had to leave school and help him?.[1 line unreadable] died in Fergus Falls, where he was superintendent of water works. After that in 1884, John and I decided to marry and live on our farm with father and mother. For as long as mother lived I could not leave her. On August twenty sixth, we made ready to go to Red Wing to be married. John Tyner and Loreen McElrath were going with us as our only attendants. I was all dressed in my wedding finery; a dress of brown velvet and cashmere with a lace fischu, and cream lace at the sleeves. My bonnet was my pride and joy. It was made of cream silk with a spray of white flowers. Al took us in the lumber wagon to the small platform on the railroad near Granville. We climbed out, and Al rattled away in the wagon to Granville, where he was to get some groceries for Minnie. Just as the train whistled, we discovered that my satchel was still in the wagon. We yelled at Al, but the old wagon rattled so that he did not hear us. John Tyner said he would try and catch Al, and if he didn't get back in time we were to go on without him. John's long legs fairly flew over the road, yelling to Al at every jump. As he got nearer, Al heard him and stopped. John grabbed the satchel, and managed to get back, just as the train stopped.

We were married in Christ Church, Red Wing. And the next day came back to Aunt Minnie' s where in the evening we had the infare, with all the old friends gathered to help us celebrate. John worked our little farm, until mother died in 1885. Then the home was broken up. Father visited among his children, until he died at the home of Orlow, near Little Falls.

After leaving the old home, John and I rented a farm, and farmed it, until we moved to Randolph; where John worked in a creamery for eight years. Lynn was born there in 1887; we lived in Northfield one year, where John was in partnership in a livery stable. After one year we came back to Randolph, where we lived with the exception of a short time in Stanton. In a few years, John bought a quarter interest in the elevator at Sauk Centre. And in 1898 we moved up there. That became our permanent home. In 1923 John died. Lynn, with his family has lived in Sauk Centre for many years.

And so the years have slipped by; leaving some sad memories and many happy ones. But somehow as I look back over the years, I find that the hard, sad days have slipped into the background; and the happy days seem fresh in my memory. In this little family history, I have tried to make the friends who made those days happy, live again; and bring with them the joy and laughter of days very different from these modern ones, but not less full of gladness and contentment.

"The same day, word was brought that, on his way to Brockville, William Ferrier had been killed by the wheel of his waggon passing over him. Soon after we were informed that a tree had fallen across the road, and crushed him to death. But a third person brought word that one of the barrels of potash, with which the waggon was loaded, had rolled over him and crushed his head. Now it turned out that none of these accounts was correct, for the tree, which had fallen across the hinder part of the waggon, had caused the fore part to fly up and strike him under the chin, breaking his jaws, and perhaps his neck, as he sat at the front of the waggon. He died about half an hour after the accident, at Jebbs creek."

"What his parents and relations, but especially his poor wife felt, on hearing these things, I shall not attempt to describe. He was a young man in the prime of his life, about 25, but much addicted to drinking, after the example of his father, with whom he often quarrelled when in liquor, and once he struck and hurt him considerably.

"The distress of the parents was much increased by the learning, about the same time, that their only daughter, a fine girl of about 20, but both deaf and dumb, was with child by a great boy the eldest son of their next door neighbour. ?i?(This story continued with the Agnes Ferrier story.)?/i?

"Next morning I rode to their house, which was five miles off, to afford them all the consolation in my power. The body of William had just been brought home. The blood had beeen washed away, but the face was disfigured, and had a ghastly appearance. His parents expressed their grief by sighs and groans, but the poor widow embraced the inanamate corpse, and kissed its cold lips, sobbing out, William! My dear William, little did I think we were so soon to part. After the body was placed in the coffin all sat down, and I addressed them on the best means of improving the distressing event that had brought us together, and prayed that the Lord would prepare us all for death, for judgement, and eternity, that he would comfort and support the parents, and provide for the widow and her fatherless children. On the following day I attended the funeral, and made an address to the people at the grave, but a very heavy rain compelled me to cut it shorter than I intended.

Her brother, Robert Lillie was one of the most active figures in the industrial life of our town for many years prior to his removal to Vancouver, B.C. As a young lady, Miss Margaret Lillie was a zealous worker in Knox church during the ministry of Rev. Messrs. Duncan and Barns serving for a long time as teacher in the Sabbath school. On her marriage in 1875[?] to Mr. George Webster of Montreal she removed to that city, and at once entered into the religious philanthropic work of the great metropolis. She became identified with St. Paul's Presbyterian church, and during the ministry of Rev. Dr. Barclay, was one of his most faithful and active workers. She had charge of a large primary class in Nazareth St. for many years and was an active worker in the ladies aid, W.F.M.S. and other church organisations. But she was too broad-minded and large hearted to confine her activities to her own church.

Those in poverty or distress, regardless of their denomination, found in her a ready friend and helper. Many a sufferer, too, in hospitals of Montreal have been cheered by her timely visits. After the death of her husband in 1900, most of her time was devoted to relief work among the poor. Mrs. Webster's sudden death in Montreal came as a great shock to her many friends. The remains were brought to Perth for interment. The funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon at the home of her niece Mrs. Samuel Thornbury, and was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Carrier of Knox church assisted by Rev. Mr. Richardson of Asbury church. A large concourse of mourning friends accompanied the body to its last resting-place in Elmwood cemetery. Mrs. Webster is survived by her brother, Robert Lillie of Vancouver and by several nephews and nieces."

"They left Liverpool on a sailing vessel that took six weeks to make the crossing to Montreal. They had got within a few days of Montreal when a storm from the west blew them back out into the Atlantic. During the voyage the two older girls , Mary and Sarah, prepared the meals. From Montreal they made their way to Brockville, Ontario where they spent the winter and then went up to Perth area where they rented farms for a number of years, including Bromley, a hamlet about 5 miles NW of Perth(sic, actually in Renfrew county) (where their youngest son James was born).The Bromley place may have been rented from the McNabs and if so, it would mark the beginning of a long-standing inter-family association.

On the 13th of May 1867 John purchased, for 800 pounds, the SW 1/2 and NE 1/2 of Lot 16, Bathurst Twp. Lanark Co. from Thomas Wilson, son of John's uncle George Wilson. George had settled there in 1816 and had encouraged John to emmigrate to the Perth area. George Wilson* built the wood frame portion of what we call the "Gibson family home" in the 1830's on the SW 1/2 of lot 16. John later acquired the adjoining southern portion of lot 17 (see photo of 1850's map), giving him a total of about 300 acres. In the 1880's John's son William built a larger brick house, attaching the old wood frame building to the rear of it.

"This marks the place long known as The Pegg Burying Ground. It was set aside by Isaac Pegg (1751-1832) who came here in 1798 from Pennsylvania and with his sons secured from the Crown lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the 4th Con. E. Gwillimbury. He built a dam and carding mill on the rear of lot 10, which later became a saw mill, and later a grist mill. He made bricks and built himself a brick house on lot 8. Today his many hundreds of descendents are found from Ottawa to the Pacific Coast. Isaac Pegg was a grandson of Daniel Pegg, an English Quaker and early settler in America, where Philadelphia now stands."

"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."

"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 ?b?he was laid beside his mother in the Presbyterian enclosure?/b?. 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."

"When Grandmother Small left Mother the farm it had a couple of barns and a house too small for a big family. Dad was a good carpenter and loved that work. He built us a very nice frame house with four bedrooms upstairs, a living room, hall, dining room, kitchen and pantry and two bedrooms downstairs. It was a lovely home with lots of fruit and flowering trees. I loved that home but when we moved to Bothwell in 1914 I never saw it again. The people who bought it managed to burn it. The reason for trading was to be near a high school. It was too expensive to board children in Sarnia. We moved to Bothwell and in August 1914 the war broke out in Europe. Gord and Earl had some military training in Niagara-on-the-Lake so they enlisted at once.

"WILSON. In the death of Mr. Samuel Wilson, of Bathurst, which took place on Saturday morning last, there is ended a generation of one of the earliest, if not the earliest settlers of this county. Death came with a suddenness, and cut off from this world of activity a man who was the embodiment of everything that stood for good and advancement. Mr. Wilson attended the funeral of his niece Mrs. Brownlee on Friday after Christmas, and in a week plus one day more is himself a corpse. On nomination day he attended at the Bathurst Town Hall, and as ever took a keen interest in the proceedings. While there he suffered a sharp pain in the small of his back, and was at once sent to his home. Medical assistance was given him, but the doctor said that his once iron frame had collapsed. Mr. Wilson lingered on till Saturday early in the morning, when his soul cast off from its frail anchor - the body. Deceased gentleman was born on the Wilson homestead in Bathurst, sixth line, in 1834, the son of James Wilson. His father with his grandfather emigrated from County Armagh, Ireland, shortly after the beginning of the nineteenth century. The exact year is not known, but it was some time before 1815, as in that year three French settlers, who were taken prisoners at Waterloo and given their discharge, settled opposite the Wilsons, and the latter were the first in that primeval forest. Naturally, they had to carve out a farm for themselves, and this was a matter of no small difficulty. The old country people were not good with the axe; they could flail peas and dig drains, but their younger sons could chop all around them. Mr. James Wilson, the father of the deceased, helped to chop along Foster Street, town. He died some thirty-five years ago, and in ten years was followed to the grave by his life-partner, who was a Scotch woman of a strong frame. The subject of this obituary grew up practically with the Township of Bathurst. About thirty-four years ago, he married Jennie [sic - Jane or Jean], daughter of Neil McLaren, of the 4th line Bathurst, His wife and five children survive: Fred. of homestead; William 6 line Bathurst; Edwin, a dental student; Mrs. James McViety, Elmsley, and Miss Bella at home. Mrs. Wodden, of town, is a first cousin. Mr. Wilson perhaps was the most prominent man in all Bathurst. We was a very successful farmer, and was looked up to by all. He was very muscular, standing over six feet in height. His services were required in the Township Council, and the confidence arising from his duty as councillor he inspired in his fellow farmers resulted in his election as Reeve. In the County Council he used the same wise and cool judgement, and was appointed Warden. In all Mr. Wilson spent some twenty or twenty-five years in the service of the municipality of Bathurst. The best interests, of not only Bathurst but the whole country, were his interests and he fought for them. Mr. Wilson was identified with all prominent associations, and was one of the founders of the Lanark County Mutual Farmer's Fire Insurance Company in 1896. He was elected to the directorate and three years ago chosen president. A prominent man of this town in speaking of the deceased gentleman said he was a splendid businessman, with a sense of up-rightness and honor in his make-up. He was know far and wide in the county and enjoyed every man's confidence. He could give an opinion on almost every subject and back it up logically. His death removes one whose familiar and cheery face will be missed by many, and he is the last of his generation. The funeral took place on Monday to Elmwood Cemetery and was over a mile long. Six nephews acted as pall-bearers: Dr. S. C. Wilson, A. T. Wilson, J. C. Wilson, James Darou, Edward K. Wilson, and Ernie Wilson, North Gower. The Rev. Mr. Currie conducted the services."

"WILSON. Mrs. Samuel Wilson, of the sixth line of Bathurst, died on Tuesday at the home of her son Frederick.

Upon her marriage, her husband located on the sixth line, Bathurst, where he lived until his death nine years ago. Surviving are three sons and two daughters: Frederick, on homestead; William N., on 5th line; Dr. Edwin H., town; Mrs. James McVeety, Port Elmsley, and Mrs. J. E. Anderson, Manion.

?b?Well Known Citizen Lost?/b?

Almonte lost one of its best known citizens in the death, Saturday night at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, of William Caldwell Pollock. He was in his 92nd year and while in failing (health) somewhat physically, he had been out walking two weeks before his death and he had been confined to his bed only about 10 days.

Mr. Pollock was a very well preserved man and he retained his habitual cheerfulness and mental alertness to the end. He had a fine manner and was popular with the young people as well as the more elderly section of the town's population. He was interested in such sports as lacrosse, baseball and hockey and retained his enthusiasm in this respect to the end.

He conducted a general insurance business for 56 years and at the time of his retirement last August, when he sold to his nephew, Mr. R.A. Jamieson, QC, he enjoyed the distinction of being the town's oldest businessman in point of time and age. He had his office in the post office building - the same one in which he served as collector of customs until Almonte ceased to be a port in 1929. There he was to be found every business day, despite increasing years, carrying on as usual until he decided that the time had come when he must take it easy. The period of retirement turned out to be short - little more than six months.

?b?Native of Lanark?/b?

Mr Pollock was born in Lanark Village August 4, 1865, the eldest child of Robert and Mary Ann Pollock. The family moved to Brockville in 1875 and to Almonte in 1880. He was educated in Brockville and Almonte Public Schoools and in Almonte High School under P.C. McGregor. He is the last of his high school classmates so far as is know some of whom were, Dr James Naismith, Dr R Tait McKenzie, Dr Welland Gemmill, Dr Peter Drummond, Mr Dan Drummond, Bruce Crusoe, Harold Jamieson, W.H. Stafford, Walter Lawson, James Steele, Robert Knowles, James Knowles, John McLaren and Leslie Ferguson.

In his holidays he worked for A. Caldwell and Son, who then operated a sawmill near what has always been called 'the Island' on the banks of the Mississippi River just above the Fair Grounds.

Mr Pollock returned to Lanark Village in 1883 to take charge of the lumber business of W.C. Caldwell. He came back to Almonte in 1884 to work in the office of the Victoria Woolen Mill better known as no. 2 mill, operated by Elliott and Shiriffs, later owned by Elliott and Company. He left the employ of the Ellioot and Co. mill to operate his own lumber yard in Almonte and managed the Merilees flour mill her and in Blakeney. He was named Collector of Customs, here in 1889, suceeding J.M. Munro, and continued in that position until 1929, when he was superannuated.

?b?Continued in Business?/b?

Mr Pollock continued his general insurance business in Almonte as recorded above. He married Bertha Cole, daughter of J.K. Cole in 1890 and they celebrated their golden wedding in September 1940. He acted as Assessor in Almonte for 25 years and was the town auditor for the same period. He was a member of Mississippi Lodge, A.F. and A.M., Almonte and Granite Chapter of Royal Arch Mason. He held a 50 year Past Master jewel and a 50 year Past 1st Principal Jewel. He was a regular lodge attendant at both of these lodges for many years. His wife died in December 1940, and his oldest son, Robert died in 1900. His sons are Frank J. Pollock of Windsor and William W. Pollock, QC, of Carleton Place.There are two grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Mr Pollock was a long and faithful member of Almonte United Church and Bethany Church before Trinity merged with it. He was on the official Board; served on the Board of Managers, was member of the Cemetery Board and at the time of his death was still on of the church trustees.

?b?The Funeral?/b?

The funeral was held from the Kerry-Scott Funeral Home, Elgin Streeet, Tuesday afternoon to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. In the absence of the regular United Church pastor, Rev Fred Williams of Carleton Place conducted the services. Pallbearers were:
Messrs Raymond A. Jamieson, QC, William A. Jamieson, H.B. Kirkland, Donald M. Cameron, Benson Cole, Ottawa and A.S. Hanna.

There were many relatives and friends from out of town especially from Ottawa, Carleton Place and Perth. Mr G.R. McLennan, formerly of Almonte and now clerk of the Supreme Court at Perth was among them as was Mr Pete Burchell of Perth, Liberal candidate in the forthcoming general election.

Among the beautiful floral tributes were pieces from the following:
Granite Chapter No. 61, Almonte; Bar Assn of Lanark County; Carleton Place Branch of the Canadian Legion No. 192; Management Canadian Bridge Co, Walkerville, Ont.; Board of Trustees, Almonte United Church; Corporation of Carleton Place; Mississippi Lodge No. 147, Almonte; Western Assurance Company.

The Week About Town
Mr and Mrs W.C. Pollock have the deepest sympathy of their numerous friends in the death on Sunday morning last of Robert, their eldest son, a bright and promising little fellow of seven years. The child had been ill with diptheria, and was recovering nicely, though in a very weak state. On Saturday night he took a weak turn, and during Saturday night the spark of life went out. A sad feature was that Mrs. Pollock and the children were unable to be with the dying boy owing to the nature of the illness from which he had been suffering. The funeral took place oon Sunday afternoon, to the eight line cemetery, and was largely attended, notwithstanding the short notice.
