47158	Stewart Hood, the son of Andrew Hood and Ann Scott, was born September 13, 1883 in Howick Twp, Huron County (Lot 33, Concession 13). In 1893 Stewart moved to Wingham, Ontario (perhaps with his parents?) and worked for three years as a "printers devil" to learn the trade. In 1902 when Stewart was still 18, he moved with his parents and younger sister Margaret Janet (who he was very close to) to Devil's Lake, Ramsey County, North Dakota, where his parents ran a boarding house for one year. His older siblings had already moved to Cass County, North Dakota several years earlier. In 1905 Stewart revisited his future wife Pearl in the Harriston, Ontario area. Pearl who was the daughter of John Millar/Miller and Ann Hanly,was born February 15, 1886 in Harriston, Minto Township, Wellington County. She was one of five girls and three boys. John Miller, his wife Ann and their children show up on the 1881 census in Harriston. John and Ann were Irish and John was listed as a merchant by trade. Their religion was Methodist. Pearl was not yet born when this census was taken. On the 1901 census, John is working as a carpenter, and his daughter Pearl is 15 years old. John and Ann were still living in Harriston on the 1911 census, where John, age 68, was still a carpenter. Stewart married Pearl Amelia Millar on Mar. 12, 1908 at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The newlywed couple then went to Jamestown, North Dakota where Stewart edited "The Daily Capitol." In September 1909 the family moved to Minneapolis with the McCellan Paper Company and then settled in Duluth. Stewart shows up on the 1910 U.S. Federal Census as living in St. Louis County, Minnesota with his family. Plagued with ulcers, the family moved to Winnipeg in the spring of 1912 and sold lithography work. The family never lived in the United States again. After a miraculous healing of his ulcers in June 1916 through what was said to be the Christian Science religion, they moved to Toronto, Ontario with Rolfe Clark Lithographers, then to Montreal, Quebec in 1934 with the Montreal Lithographing Company. Stewart and Pearl had two children: Donald S. born Dec. 27, 1908 in Jamestown, ND, and Norah Louise born Nov. 14, 1914, in Winnipeg. Stewart died Sep. 4, 1951 and Pearl on Sep. 8/11, 1964 in Montreal. They are buried at York Cemetery, Section 6, Site 293, Willowdale (right by Toronto), Ontario.	Hood, Stewart (I39550)

47182	Story of Sturdy McGregors Who Came Here in Thirties Mrs. Alex. Cameron of Ottawa, aged 98. Tells About her parents and other Relatives who settled in Beckwith and in Glengarry a Hundred Years Ago - All were Great Walkers - A Fine Story of the Pioneer Days Told by Remarkable Lady. Mrs. Alex Cameron of Ottawa, at the age of 98, is a remarkable lady. At that advanced age, she possesses all her faculties in a remarkable degree. Her memory is wonderfully clear. She can read without glasses. Mrs. Cameron came toOttawa from Carleton Place, but a large part of her life was spent up in Beckwith township. It was in Beckwith that Mrs. Cameron was born in the year 1834, juar rqo month after her parents had settled in Beckwith. It is Beckwith she likes to talk about. Mrs. Cameron was a mcGregor before her marriage - Margaret McGregor. She was a daugher of Mr. and Mrs. Alex mcGregor who came out from Perthshire in 1834. The McGregors went to Beckwith chiefly because Mr McGretor's oldest brother had settled in Beckwith, about ten years earlier and had held land for him for several years awaiting his coming. Urged to Come A sister of Alex McGregor, a Mrs Peter McEwan, has also been located in Beckwith and liked the place. Both had urged Alex McGregor to come to these parts. So it came about that in the early fall of 1834, Alex McGregor came out as far as Montreal with a party of relatives and others from Perthshire who were going to settle in Glengarry county. The parties separated in Montreal. Alex McGregor and his young wife took the boat for Bytown bringing with them a considerable number of boxes and barrels full of things they would require in their new forest home. They had been well instructed as to what they would require by the older brother and Mrs. McEwan. Walked to Franktown At Bytown the McGregors hired a waggon to take their stuff as far as Franktown via the Richmond -Perth road. Mrs Cameron tells that after the waggon had been loaded it was so full that ther was not room fo either the driver or the young couple and all three were forced to walk all the 35 odd miles to Franktown. The party spent the night at Richmond and the next day they continued to Franktown where the second night was spent at Burns' hotel. Out to Beckwith The next morning early a son of Mrs. Peter McEwan came to Frnaktown with a couple of waggons driven by oxen and the McGregors were driven in more or less comfort the remaining seven miles to the 7th line of Beckwith where the mcEwans were located and where Alex mcGregor's land was awaiting him. The McEwans had already been three years in Beckwith. Bought a Clearing The land that was awaiting Alex MGregor was a bush land. Soon after the arrival of the young couple Alex McGregor found an opportunity to purchase a partly cleared farm with a shanty on it and did so. He got it for $500. That location was alson on the 7th line of Beckwith. When the mcGregors came to Beckwith they had with thgem a spinning wheel and reel and many other helpful house-keeping articles. The couple bought a yoke of oxen and two cows. Spoke Gaelic When the McGregors first went to Beckwith practically all the settlers were Scotch and most of them spoke Gaelic as the language of communication thoug most of them could speak English. Hardy People These early Scotch settlers were certainly hardy people . It is on record that in 1837 Mrs. Alex McGregor's mother and father (Mr. and Mrs John McGregor) who had located in 1834 in Glengarry walked all the way from Glengarry to Beckwith, a distance of over fifty miles to see how their daughter was getting on. Jusst what road they follwed from Glengarry is not clear, but Mrs Cameron says they came through Osgood township and stopped there with friends over night. The following day they came to Bytown and then followed on foot the same route their daughter had followed (on foot) three years before. In due time the elderly couple reached Beckwith and received a great welcome. They stayed two months and helped with the harvest. Ten of a Family Going back to Alex McGregor and his wife, we can tell that they raised a family of 10 - four boys and six girls. All but two are dead. The two alive are Mrs. Alex Cameron, Ottawa, aged 98, and Mrs Peter Robertson, of Carleton Place, the youngest child. Many McGregors Mrs Cameron tells that in Beckwith there were 3 families of McGregors all from Perthshire, but none related. In this connection, it is pointed out ther were various McGregors in the family of Alex McGregor and his wife. Mrs. Alex McGregor had been a McGregor and strange to say, her mother, who married a McGregor, had been a McGregor, yet none of them were cousins or otherwise intermarried. Murphy's Falls The nearest town to the McGregors was Muphy's Falls (now Carleton Place).. That was eight miles away. Perth was 14 miles distant. By a direct line Perth was much closer but the many great swamps in the district made the travelling round about. An interesting story of Mrs Cameron's marriage will be found in another column.

47185	Stratford, Perth County, Ontario, Canada JAN. 28, 1915 OBITUARY BROWN, JAMES There died in Motherwell on Friday, January 22nd inst., MR. JAMES BROWN after an illness of about 3 months. One by one the pioneers are passing, soon none will be left who from personal experience knew of the hardships and vicissitudes of pioneer days. We who are left, who reap often unthinkingly what they have so well and unsparingly sown, can little understand what we owe to these brave men who laid well the foundation of Canadian settlement and institutions in this our land. Mr. Brown was one of those to whom the present generation owe so much. He was born in Dalhousie, Lanark, in 1828 and was therefore in his 87th year. In his 18th year he came alone to Western Ontario and did pioneer duties on his late father's farm. The following year, 1847, he was joined by his parents and other members of the family. Not only on the farm but in municipal life Mr. Brown took his share of the work and responsibility. He was a member of the Municipal Council and for 15 years was assessor of the municipality of Fullarton. He was a man of superior intelligence and unequivocal integrity, one thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the day. A man of pronounced liberal views, a splendid citizen, one whom it was a pleasure to know and hold converse with, a kind parent and a staunch friend. His passing leaves a void which will long be felt, in the home and in the neighbourhood. Mr. Brown was married in early life to Miss. A. Roger who predeceased him 32 years ago. He leaves behind to mourn his passing five sons and one daughter, and 3 grandchildren. Robert J., William, John and Mrs. J. Sterritt all of Motherwell; George of Rivers, Man., and Dr. Andrew of Markdale; N. Lottie and W. Gordon of Toronto and James Wilson in the old home. All were present with the exception of Gordon at the last sad rites. The funeral on Monday was to Avonbank Cemetery, where the five sons and son-in-law acted as bearers.	Brown, James Jr. (I19859)
47186	Stratford, Perth County, Ontario, Canada OBITUARY MRS. JAMES BROWN nee MARGARET PARK Motherwell - died on Thursday night April 14, 1892, Mrs. James Brown aged 84 yrs., 9 months and 4 days. The deceased whose maiden name was Margaret Park was born in Cambuslang, Scotland in the year 1807. She emigrated with her parents in the year 1822 to the Township Dalhousie, Lanark County, where 6 years later she married James Brown, who is also a native of Scotland, who survives her. Ten children were born to them, two of whom died young. In 1846 they moved to Township of Fullarton. Here they made themselves a home in what was then the forests of Canada and here they have since lived together until her death. A short time ago, although apparently in good health, blood poisoning set in a small scratch on the back of her hand, and after 3 weeks of terrible suffering she passed away. Six of her children were present at her bedside and saw an affectionate wife and kind and loving mother, after 64 years of married life, breathe her last having enjoyed a much longer period of wedded life than usually falls to the human race. She, in early life, became a member of the Presbyterian Church and led a long, devoted, exemplary Christian life. Her whole life was spent in trying to do good to others, caring little for her own personal benefit as long as the comfort and happiness of others could be secured. She died in the full assurance where there shall be no more pain, no more parting, but where she shall ever sing the praises of her Redeemer. The funeral was well attended by many from a distance who had met to pay the last sad tribute of respect to all that remained of one whom they had learned to love and esteem. Six of her grandsons acted as pallbearers while the Rev. Mr. Grant, St. Mary's, conducted the funeral services. She has left behind many deceased ______ grandchildren to mourn her loss. (Poem).

Story of Sturdy McGregors Who Came Here in Thirties
Mrs. Alex. Cameron of Ottawa, aged 98. Tells About her parents and other Relatives who settled in Beckwith and in Glengarry a Hundred Years Ago
- All were Great Walkers - A Fine Story of the Pioneer Days Told by Remarkable Lady.

Mrs. Alex Cameron of Ottawa, at the age of 98, is a remarkable lady. At that advanced age, she possesses all her faculties in a remarkable degree. Her memory is wonderfully clear. She can read without glasses. Mrs. Cameron came toOttawa from Carleton Place, but a large part of her life was spent up in Beckwith township. It was in Beckwith that Mrs. Cameron was born in the year 1834, juar rqo month after her parents had settled in Beckwith. It is Beckwith she likes to talk about.

Mrs. Cameron was a mcGregor before her marriage - Margaret McGregor. She was a daugher of Mr. and Mrs. Alex mcGregor who came out from Perthshire in 1834. The McGregors went to Beckwith chiefly because Mr McGretor's oldest brother had settled in Beckwith, about ten years earlier and had held land for him for several years awaiting his coming.

Urged to Come
A sister of Alex McGregor, a Mrs Peter McEwan, has also been located in Beckwith and liked the place. Both had urged Alex McGregor to come to these parts.

So it came about that in the early fall of 1834, Alex McGregor came out as far as Montreal with a party of relatives and others from Perthshire who were going to settle in Glengarry county. The parties separated in Montreal. Alex McGregor and his young wife took the boat for Bytown bringing with them a considerable number of boxes and barrels full of things they would require in their new forest home. They had been well instructed as to what they would require by the older brother and Mrs. McEwan.

Walked to Franktown
At Bytown the McGregors hired a waggon to take their stuff as far as Franktown via the Richmond -Perth road. Mrs Cameron tells that after the waggon had been loaded it was so full that ther was not room fo either the driver or the young couple and all three were forced to walk all the 35 odd miles to Franktown. The party spent the night at Richmond and the next day they continued to Franktown where the second night was spent at Burns' hotel.

Out to Beckwith
The next morning early a son of Mrs. Peter McEwan came to Frnaktown with a couple of waggons driven by oxen and the McGregors were driven in more or less comfort the remaining seven miles to the 7th line of Beckwith where the mcEwans were located and where Alex mcGregor's land was awaiting him. The McEwans had already been three years in Beckwith.

Bought a Clearing
The land that was awaiting Alex MGregor was a bush land. Soon after the arrival of the young couple Alex McGregor found an opportunity to purchase a partly cleared farm with a shanty on it and did so. He got it for $500. That location was alson on the 7th line of Beckwith.

When the mcGregors came to Beckwith they had with thgem a spinning wheel and reel and many other helpful house-keeping articles. The couple bought a yoke of oxen and two cows.

Spoke Gaelic
When the McGregors first went to Beckwith practically all the settlers were Scotch and most of them spoke Gaelic as the language of communication thoug most of them could speak English.

Hardy People
These early Scotch settlers were certainly hardy people . It is on record that in 1837 Mrs. Alex McGregor's mother and father (Mr. and Mrs John McGregor) who had located in 1834 in Glengarry walked all the way from Glengarry to Beckwith, a distance of over fifty miles to see how their daughter was getting on. Jusst what road they follwed from Glengarry is not clear, but Mrs Cameron says they came through Osgood township and stopped there with friends over night. The following day they came to Bytown and then followed on foot the same route their daughter had followed (on foot) three years before. In due time the elderly couple reached Beckwith and received a great welcome. They stayed two months and helped with the harvest.

Ten of a Family
Going back to Alex McGregor and his wife, we can tell that they raised a family of 10 - four boys and six girls. All but two are dead. The two alive are Mrs. Alex Cameron, Ottawa, aged 98, and Mrs Peter Robertson, of Carleton Place, the youngest child.

Many McGregors
Mrs Cameron tells that in Beckwith there were 3 families of McGregors all from Perthshire, but none related. In this connection, it is pointed out ther were various McGregors in the family of Alex McGregor and his wife. Mrs. Alex McGregor had been a McGregor and strange to say, her mother, who married a McGregor, had been a McGregor, yet none of them were cousins or otherwise intermarried.

Murphy's Falls
The nearest town to the McGregors was Muphy's Falls (now Carleton Place).. That was eight miles away. Perth was 14 miles distant. By a direct line Perth was much closer but the many great swamps in the district made the travelling round about.

An interesting story of Mrs Cameron's marriage will be found in another column.

OBITUARY

BROWN, JAMES

There died in Motherwell on Friday, January 22nd inst., MR. JAMES BROWN after an illness of about 3 months. One by one the pioneers are passing, soon none will be left who from personal experience knew of the hardships and vicissitudes of pioneer days. We who are left, who reap often unthinkingly what they have so well and unsparingly sown, can little understand what we owe to these brave men who laid well the foundation of Canadian settlement and institutions in this our land. Mr. Brown was one of those to whom the present generation owe so much.

He was born in Dalhousie, Lanark, in 1828 and was therefore in his 87th year. In his 18th year he came alone to Western Ontario and did pioneer duties on his late father's farm. The following year, 1847, he was joined by his parents and other members of the family. Not only on the farm but in municipal life Mr. Brown took his share of the work and responsibility. He was a member of the Municipal Council and for 15 years was assessor of the municipality of Fullarton. He was a man of superior intelligence and unequivocal integrity, one thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the day. A man of pronounced liberal views, a splendid citizen, one whom it was a pleasure to know and hold converse with, a kind parent and a staunch friend. His passing leaves a void which will long be felt, in the home and in the neighbourhood.

Mr. Brown was married in early life to Miss. A. Roger who predeceased him 32 years ago. He leaves behind to mourn his passing five sons and one daughter, and 3 grandchildren. Robert J., William, John and Mrs. J. Sterritt all of Motherwell; George of Rivers, Man., and Dr. Andrew of Markdale; N. Lottie and W. Gordon of Toronto and James Wilson in the old home. All were present with the exception of Gordon at the last sad rites.

The funeral on Monday was to Avonbank Cemetery, where the five sons and son-in-law acted as bearers.

OBITUARY

MRS. JAMES BROWN nee MARGARET PARK

Motherwell - died on Thursday night April 14, 1892, Mrs. James Brown aged 84 yrs., 9 months and 4 days. The deceased whose maiden name was Margaret Park was born in Cambuslang, Scotland in the year 1807. She emigrated with her parents in the year 1822 to the Township Dalhousie, Lanark County, where 6 years later she married James Brown, who is also a native of Scotland, who survives her. Ten children were born to them, two of whom died young. In 1846 they moved to Township of Fullarton. Here they made themselves a home in what was then the forests of Canada and here they have since lived together until her death.

A short time ago, although apparently in good health, blood poisoning set in a small scratch on the back of her hand, and after 3 weeks of terrible suffering she passed away. Six of her children were present at her bedside and saw an affectionate wife and kind and loving mother, after 64 years of married life, breathe her last having enjoyed a much longer period of wedded life than usually falls to the human race.

She, in early life, became a member of the Presbyterian Church and led a long, devoted, exemplary Christian life. Her whole life was spent in trying to do good to others, caring little for her own personal benefit as long as the comfort and happiness of others could be secured. She died in the full assurance where there shall be no more pain, no more parting, but where she shall ever sing the praises of her Redeemer.

The funeral was well attended by many from a distance who had met to pay the last sad tribute of respect to all that remained of one whom they had learned to love and esteem. Six of her grandsons acted as pallbearers while the Rev. Mr. Grant, St. Mary's, conducted the funeral services. She has left behind many deceased ______ grandchildren to mourn her loss. (Poem).
