For temporary shelter Donald put up a log shanty (on Lot 7, Concession 3) beside the blazed trail, east of the present lane. The shanty was later replaced by a log house north of the shanty, east of the present lane (opposite the house today). There was a log stable built west of the house ... Donald had been a weaver in Scotland; he had brought his loom from Scotland and did some custom weaving in his home. Donald built a second stable (measuring 36 feet by 56 feet) in 1877 or 1878.

95	"DRUMMOND PIONEER DEAD. Walter McIlquham Died on Tuesday Aged 96 years. The news of the death of a truly pioneer resident of Drummond, Mr. Walter McIlquham, sr., was received in town on Tuesday night. Mr. McIlquham departed this life on Tuesday afternoon in the 96th year of his age. He had been ill a week, suffering from bronchitis. He was one whose life includes all the years of Lanark history, says the Era. Coming over from Scotland with his parents on the ship Commerce [sic - George Canning], he arrived to find Lanark the centre of a vast forest of pine. But to a boy of his years this was but adventure of the sort that appeals to the average British youth. Settling on a favored spot in Drummond Township there was much to be done clearing away those giant obstructions to farming - the pines. Fortune favored and Mr. McIlquham lived to see one of the best homesteads in the whole countryside identified as his own. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1810. When ten years of age he came to this country with his parents, they settling on the farm now occupied by his nephew, Mr. Walter S. McIlquham. Early in life he married Margaret Kerr and to them were born Peter J., now of Mountain Mill, Alta.; Walter, of Carleton Place; John K. and Maggie, of Drummond. His second wife was Elizabeth Rankin, by whom he had five sons and daughters - George, on the homestead; William, in Carleton Place; Mrs. John Neilson, Ramsay; Mrs. Henry Blair, Fitzroy, and Mrs. John Menzies, Carleton Place. The funeral took place to Lanark cemetery on Thursday afternoon at twp o'clock. Mr. McIlquham was a strong man municipally and politically and was well known in the community of Perth."

He was the son of George Washington Hastings and Margaret (Gay) Hastings, both of his parents were children of Revolutionary War Patriots. When Eleazer was 11 years old his family moved to Canada and settled in a new and wild land, being the first settlers west of Newboro, cutting the first log down in 1812. In 1830 Eleazer built the first Baptist church, a wood frame building in their small town of Westport. Eleazer married in 1830 Ann Deacon, the daughter of another early settler who came from Kilkenny, Ireland. They had but one child, John L. Hastings.

Initially he passed his winters in the lumber shanties along the Clyde and Mississippi, and the summer seasons back on the family farm in Lanark township. As he became more deeply involved in the Gillies Lumber Company business, cruising new limits, and then as a partner from 1853, he seemed to have lived periodically at Carleton Place, Lanark, Snow Road, and at the shanties he supervised. In the census of 1851 he was living with his widowed mother and siblings in Lanark township.

Last Sunday [17 Feb 1884] the body of a man was found in the flume back of the woolen-factory, Haggart's Island, and judging from appearances it had been under the water for some weeks. It was soon pretty well identified as being all that remained earthly of Patrick Flaherty, a well-known character; and this supposition was the next day confirmed by members of his own family. The deceased had been missing for nearly two months, but as he was latterly a sort of wanderer upon the earth, his absence caused no comment or alarm, and no one supposed that poor Pat had met with the sad and premature end that had over taken him. It is surmised that while in a state of inebriety Pat stumbled in the flume, where sure death awaited him. His remains were buried on the farm he formerly occupied in North Burgess [Lot A, VIII Concession], on Tuesday. He was about fifty-five years of age at death."

Consitt, and Capt. Alston of the Royal Navy; and it was on this journey that he died at Richmond of hydro phobia from the supposed bite of a tame fox. Mr. Consitt had bequeathed to him by relatives in England a large number of relics and valuables of a bygone age, and these included the sword of the father captain and an autograph letter of Lord Nelson, the maritime hero of Abonkir Bay and Trafalgar Bay battles.

Eighty years ago in the summer, Mr. Peter McNee, with his parents and their family, arrived in the Township of Drummond from Lochearnside, Perthshire, Scotland, and settled, with the Balderson pioneers, in the fertile lands on the 7th and 8th lines of the township. This was in the year 1820. The family underwent all the hardships of pioneer life, but gradually the farms of that vicinity blossomed as the rose, and all through there now comfortable and luxurious homes and cleared, well-cultivated fields have succeeded the log cabins and stretches of unbroken maple, beech and elm forests of the primeval days. After a long life of eighty-seven years, the subject of our sketch, Mr. Peter McNee, crossed the bar on Sunday last, his death resulting from no disease, but simply from the wearing out of his system. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Peter Cavers, near Harper, Bathurst, and his funeral took place on Tuesday to the old Presbyterian burying-ground, in Perth. Rev.

On Sabbath afternoon, Helen, wife of Francis Holliday, saddler, of this place, aged 27 years, after a lingering illness which she bore with exemplary meekness and submission to the will of her Heavenly Father; and although she has left a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn her early death, yet they mourn not as those who have no hope, for as she expressed it, she was going to her Jesus, whom she loved, and for whom she could part with all. 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; yea, saith the spirit, for they shall rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.'"

"Donald Buchanan was born in 1820 at Loch Tayside, Perthshire, Scotland. He came to Canada with his parents in 1829 settling in Beckwith Township in Lanark County. In the early 1840's, Donald married Grace Stewart who was born in 1822 in Perthshire. In 1854, Donald and Grace decided to take their seven children and travel to the Queen's Bush to start a new home. When they reached Guelph, Donald hired a teamster and a wagon to take his family and their belongings to Goderich. From there they came to Inverhuron by sailboat. For temporary shelter Donald put up a log shanty (on Lot 7, Concession 3) beside the blazed trail, east of the present lane. The shanty was later replaced by a log house north of the shanty, east of the present lane (opposite the house today). There was a log stable built west of the house ... Donald had been a weaver in Scotland; he had brought his loom from Scotland and did some custom weaving in his home. Donald built a second stable (measuring 36 feet by 56 feet) in 1877 or 1878.

"DRUMMOND PIONEER DEAD. Walter McIlquham Died on Tuesday Aged 96 years. The news of the death of a truly pioneer resident of Drummond, Mr. Walter McIlquham, sr., was received in town on Tuesday night. Mr. McIlquham departed this life on Tuesday afternoon in the 96th year of his age. He had been ill a week, suffering from bronchitis. He was one whose life includes all the years of Lanark history, says the Era. Coming over from Scotland with his parents on the ship Commerce [sic - George Canning], he arrived to find Lanark the centre of a vast forest of pine. But to a boy of his years this was but adventure of the sort that appeals to the average British youth. Settling on a favored spot in Drummond Township there was much to be done clearing away those giant obstructions to farming - the pines. Fortune favored and Mr. McIlquham lived to see one of the best homesteads in the whole countryside identified as his own. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1810. When ten years of age he came to this country with his parents, they settling on the farm now occupied by his nephew, Mr. Walter S. McIlquham. Early in life he married Margaret Kerr and to them were born Peter J., now of Mountain Mill, Alta.; Walter, of Carleton Place; John K. and Maggie, of Drummond. His second wife was Elizabeth Rankin, by whom he had five sons and daughters - George, on the homestead; William, in Carleton Place; Mrs. John Neilson, Ramsay; Mrs. Henry Blair, Fitzroy, and Mrs. John Menzies, Carleton Place. The funeral took place to Lanark cemetery on Thursday afternoon at twp o'clock. Mr. McIlquham was a strong man municipally and politically and was well known in the community of Perth."

"For 20 years, from the time he first went into the bush in the winter of 1844, Peter McLaren had no permanent residence. Initially he passed his winters in the lumber shanties along the Clyde and Mississippi, and the summer seasons back on the family farm in Lanark township. As he became more deeply involved in the Gillies Lumber Company business, cruising new limits, and then as a partner from 1853, he seemed to have lived periodically at Carleton Place, Lanark, Snow Road, and at the shanties he supervised. In the census of 1851 he was living with his widowed mother and siblings in Lanark township. The census taker af 1861 failed to find him, probably deep in the bush somewhere in the Mississippi River basin."

"Found Drowned. Last Sunday [17 Feb 1884] the body of a man was found in the flume back of the woolen-factory, Haggart's Island, and judging from appearances it had been under the water for some weeks. It was soon pretty well identified as being all that remained earthly of Patrick Flaherty, a well-known character; and this supposition was the next day confirmed by members of his own family. The deceased had been missing for nearly two months, but as he was latterly a sort of wanderer upon the earth, his absence caused no comment or alarm, and no one supposed that poor Pat had met with the sad and premature end that had over taken him. It is surmised that while in a state of inebriety Pat stumbled in the flume, where sure death awaited him. His remains were buried on the farm he formerly occupied in North Burgess [Lot A, VIII Concession], on Tuesday. He was about fifty-five years of age at death."
