47252	TAYLOR (BRADSHAW), Arlene - In loving memory of my Dearest Wife Arlene who passed away November 19, 2003 She left me here alone, with beautiful memories of our 43 years together. I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine; I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do us part. But the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I'm dreaming; I can't believe it's true, That I can go on living when I no longer have you. And the memories of the happy years when we were together; the joys, the tears, the love, the fears, will stay with me forever. And when I'm sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, I seem to her you whisper, Cheer up and carry on Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, Don't cry; I'm only sleeping, we'll meet again someday Always and lovingly remembered by husband Bob and all the Family https://intelligencer.remembering.ca/obituary/arlene-nee-bradshaw-taylor-1073645119	Bradshaw, Margaret Arlene of Corbyville ON (I67754)
47253	Teana Ewart Munro Tena Ewart Munro passed away peacefully on Monday, October 18, 1982 at the Great War Memorial Hospital, Perth, following a brief illness. Born June 15, 1893 in Bruce County, she was the oldest child of Robert Oswald and Janet Ewart. After graduating from Chesley High School in 1911, she attended Stratford Normal School and then embarked on a lengthy teaching career. It was while teaching at Maberly Village School that Miss Oswald met and married Robert Munro. Shortly after their maarriage they moved to Perth. Tena Munro returned to teaching in 1942 and continued to teach until 1961. During these years she taught at Maberly, the Scotch Line, and Glen Tay Schools. She was a conscientious teacher who was respected by her students. She remained interested in all her students long after they had graduated from her classses. She was predeceased by her husbant, Robert, in 1964, and their only son John Oswald Munro, a pilot with the Canadian Air Force, who was killed in action in 1943. Her surviving family includes Lorna and Stanley Macdonald, Megan, Duncan and Brock, Dorothy and Donald Glen, Lisa and Bob, and Evelyn Munro. As welll she will be missed by the many friends she made in her career as a teacher, her active membership in St. Paul's United Church and as a long time resident of Perth. The funeral was held on Thursday, October 21, at Blair and Son Funeral Home. The service was conducted by Rev. George Richardson who paid tribute to her wisdom as well as her sense of humour.

47254	Ted Miller: Birth info from OPR Births 496/00 0030 0242 Dumbarton Register - Birth Date 24 August 1806. Based on correspondence from Muriel Peppler, I believe that John Miller 1806 came to Canada in 1826 (unexplained date in a Robert Miller bible in the possession of Carolee, daughter of Clinton Park, granddaughter of Elizabeth Miller Park 2017). Family lore suggests that he worked on a ships crew and left the ship in Quebec and made his way to Lanark County. He would have been 20 years of age at the time and would have qualified for a free grant of land when he reached age 21 but the land granting program was cancelled in 1827. He therefore did not receive a land grant. It is not know at this time where he worked and lived until his marriage to Margaret Blair in Lanark, Rev. John Gemmill, in 1831 (Marriage certificate believed to have been held by Melville Millar in the 1990s). It is suspected that he may have worked for James Blair for a time and thus met his daughter Margaret. James Blair settled in Dalhousie in 1820. He died before 1834 and his son George acquired the property Dalhousie Concession 1 Lot 8 and applied for the crown patent for this lot. Land Record Dalhousie C1 L8 (Almonte Registry Office - researched by Mel Miller) 1837 Crown to George Blair 1852 George Blair to Robert Bateson 1865 Robert Bateson to George Blair 1872 George Blair to Andrew Paul 1876 Andrew Paul to Stewart Miller 1881 Stewart Miller to George Blair 1885 George Blair to Jane Blair 1895 Stewart Miller and wife to James Dunham Stewart Miller, son of John and Margaret, retured to this farm in the 1870's with his first wife, Jane Elliott, age 40 who died in 1883 and a son John, age 12 who died in 1881. Jane and her son are buried in the same plot as George Blair in the Watson Corners cemetery. It is believed that two children were born before moving to Bathurst. One unsubstatiated suggestion is that William was born in Huntley Township, Carleton County. If this can be established it might suggest that John was engaged in the timber industry for a period. This was one of the common methods for gaining currency during this period. St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Perth, ON John (21 Jan 1836 - 13 Feb 1846) and Margaret (1 Feb 1835, communicant - 13- Jun 1846) were members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Perth. It lists their location as Bathurst C2 L8 at time of becoming members (1836). Margaret's location is given as Perth at time of departure from congregation. Their children (PAO Toronto. MS 201 Reel#1 Church Records: Drummond, Bathurst, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church) William - birth location to be confirmed; Catherine - birth location and baptism to be confirmed; James Miller born 15 Dec, 1835, chr. 8 May 1836, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3 George Miller born 18 Sep 1837, chr. 24 Sep 1837, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3* David - born circa 1840, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County Stewart - born c 1841, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County Robert - born 1834-4, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County John - born circa 1850, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County Research on the two Bathurst Township locations gives this information: Location from Baptismal records: C2 L3E - 1824 Hugh Spratt C2 L3E - 1829 Patrick Kane C2 L3W - 1824 Michael Cullen C2 L3W - 1825 Samuel McLellan C2 L3W - 1841 Isaac Corry It is probable that they rented or leased part of this lot for a period of time.

The sale to Andrew was recorded on 12 Dec 1838. After the move to Hastings County, Land records indicate that John and Margaret resided at Rawdon C9 L21 but later acquired additional properties.

A very serious accident befel Peter Boyle, aged 16 years, a son of Mr. Robert Hendry Boyle, a farmer, residing at Harrisville, on Thursday afternoon. It appears (says the Ipswich Advocate) that after dinner Boyle went out to water a couple of horses. On his way he met his cousin, William, who mounted the other steed and they commenced driving some cattle out of a paddock. While doing so, a hare was started, and a chase ensued. During the run William's horse became unmanageable), and ran into the horse that Peter was riding, knocking both to the ground with considerable violence, with the result that Boyle received severe concussion of the brain. The medical superintendent of the hospital has very little hope of his recovery.

We regret to record the death of Mary Burns, wife of Mr. Samuel Drummond, of Ramsay, which took place on Monday last, two weeks after the birth of her daughter. She was 36 years of age. Deceased had been making good progress for some time after her confinement, but complications arose, with a fatal result. Mrs. Drummond was well and favourably known, and was highly esteemed for her excellence of head and heart. With an unusual bright and cheerful disposition, a kind nature, and the spirit of generosity well developed, she won for herself a large circle of warm friends, who now mourn her untimely demise, while the sympathy of the whole community is with Mr. Drummond and his four little children in their irreparable loss. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and the cortege was a mile in length as it left the house, a tangible evidence of the respect and sympathy of the countryside.

47274	The bad luck surrounding the Gilmour firm continued on into the late 1870's and it was not just in the field of economics. The newspapers followed with keen interest the mysterious disappearance of John Gilmour in February of 1877. Four Quebec detectives were involved in the search for him. Mr. John Gilmour - The Last Hopes Abandoned The relatives and friends of Mr Joh Gilmour appear to believe that there is now no chance of his being found alive, and the search has been given up, though not however, till everything has been done that could possibly be thought of. Every quarter of Montreal has been searched in vain, as well as all the roads leading out of the city, and no trace of the missing gentleman can be found. The last that was seen of him, is when he was met shortly before noon on sunday on Peter street, walking towards the river. It is supposed that the lamented gentleman must have walked from the street upon the ice in a meditative mood and have fallen into the water, at some of the holes where ice has been cut out of the river. In reference to the report that Mr. Gilmour was seen last week at Prescott, we learn that it was not our fellow citizen, but his brother, Mr. Gilmour of Ottawa, who was then on his way down to Montreal. The Trenton Courier reported that; "The cause of the disappearance is enshrouded in mystery but it is supposed that the flight of Mr. MacDuff may have had a depressing effect upon his mind. Mr. MacDuff, one of their chief men, involved the company in a loss of $30,000 and suddenly left Montreal last week." Several months later the newspaper informed readers that fishermen had "discovered the body of Mr. Gilmour floating down the river." The supposition is that he jumped into the open place made by the ice cutters."	Gilmour, John (I38109)

47279	The Billings Gazette., January 11, 1901, Page 5 DEATH OF CONDUCTOR LYNCH. Pneumonia Claims Him as a Victim at Forsyth - Funeral Today. Henry C. Lynch of Billings died in Forsyth Wednesday night from that dread disease, pneumonia. The first intimation that Mr. Lynch was ill came in a telegram to his wife Wednesday afternoon stating that he was sick at Forsyth, but conveying no information that his condition was serious. Mrs. Lynch at once made preparations to go down to Forsyth on the midnight freight train accompanied by her brother, Ed Fraser. While waiting at home she received another telegram, which brought the startling news that her husband had just died. The body was brought to Billings yesterday noon. Mr. Lynch, who was a freight conductor on the Northern Pacific, left last Saturday on a stock train, his run being between Billings and Forsyth. He was not feeling well when he took his departure, but thought little of it. The slight illness soon developed into pneumonia, which caused his death. The deceased had been a resident of Billings for a number of years, having first come here as a brakeman for the Northern Pacific railroad, but for the past two years had been conductor. He was a native of Alabama, where a mother and two sisters reside. The deceased leaves a wife and two small daughters to mourn the loss of husband and father. The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of A. Fraser, father-in-law of the deceased at To. 16 North Thirtieth street, conducted by Rev. W. D. Clark, pastor of the Congregational church.	Lynch, Henry C. (I57604)
47280	THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, VOL. XXXIX., NO. 11, Page 1, Column 3, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, January 27, 1916, "Job MILLER Dead; Was Ninety-One." Job MILLER, one of the oldest men in Greene county, who recently passed away at the home of W. W. SIMPSON, Owensburg, at the age of ninety years, eleven months and four days, was born in Campbell county, Tenn. At the age of seven years he moved with his parents to Jackson township, this county, where he had been a resident almost ever since. He was united in marriage in 1846. To this union were born six children, four having passed to the great beyond. Two children by the first marriage are still living, namely: Mrs. W. W. SIMPSON, of Owensburg, and Mary FRINFROCK, of Vincennes. . He was married the second time to Elizabeth LAMB, on April 15, 1858, and to this union nine children were born, five of whom have passed away. The four surviving ones are Francis Marion MILLER, of near Switz City; Mrs. Alice HUDSON, of Bedford; Mrs. Caroline WHORTON, of Spokane, Washington, and Mrs. Ella May EDINGTON, of Jasonville. Uncle Job was a hard working man. It is said of him that he probably had cleared more land and split more rails than any other man in Jackson township. In an early day when the settlers so much needed the help of each other he was the first at a log rolling, wood chopping, house raising and in all calls for charity it was always a pleasing task for him to assist the needy. He helped haul the logs to build the first house in Owensburg. He also helped by hauling and working as a laborer to build the first church house in the vicinity of Owensburg; it was know as Old White Oak church, of which congregation he became a member. The same church house was later removed to Owensburg and is now in use. He lived in Greene county when he paid his taxes at the county seat with raccoon skins, which were a legal tender. He witnessed the development of this county for almost a century and like to talk about the transformation from a wilderness to a modern commonwealth. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Owensburg in which congregation he was a member at the time of his death. The services were conducted by Elder J. L. HATFIELD, pastor of the Church of Christ, and Pastor FLYNN, of the M.

47282	The Bowman Arts Centre In 1911, the decision was taken by Alberta's Department of Education to build a manual training school in Lethbridge. It was to serve as a regional centre for the teaching of domestic science and manual arts. At the time there were two other schools in the province offering these courses, the Calgary Normal School and the Camrose Normal School, but Lethbridge was the first school to be built specifically for these purposes. In 1913, the Edmonton Technical School was built to serve the northern portion of the province. In 1915, as a result of the economic impact of World War I, the school's funds and teaching staff were greatly strained. Vocational classes were ended, and after appropriate renovations, the building reopened as the Lethbridge High School, a function which it served until 1928. In 1929 it was reduced to an elementary school and renamed in honour of Charles B. Bowman, a prominent Lethbridge businessman. Bowman had worked as a clerk for the H. Bently Company and in 1891, began the C.B. Bowman Insurance Agency. He was also extensively involved in civic affairs, serving as an alderman, a director of the Board of Trade and as a school board member. The school continued to occupy the building until 1963, when it was purchased by the City of Lethbridge. The Allied Arts Council moved into the building after the purchase, when the City of Lethbridge spent $12,000 on minimal improvements. It became known as the Bowman Arts Centre. In 1980, Bailey Consultants published, Encore: Recycling Public Buildings for the Arts. Lethbridge Historical Society added 4 new photos. January 26, 2017 ? Can the building be saved? When someone states that a historic building has too much damage to be saved, it is sometimes a good thing to think about the Acadia Block. In March 1918, the Acadia Block suffered the worst fire in Lethbridge history to that date. "Lethbridge last night experienced the most disastrous fire in its history when the Acadia block owned by C.B. Bowman and L.M. Johnstone was completely gutted with a loss of approximately $104,350, well covered by insurance? The fire was the most spectacular ever seen in Lethbridge. Coming as it did in the evening, and with the flames pouring through the roof, it presented a spectacle of destruction such as has seldom been witnessed and it was the magnet which drew over 2500 people from all corners of the city." (20 March 1918 Lethbridge Herald) As can be seen from the pictures, the building was in shambles following the fire. But the owners chose to salvage and rebuild the building. In August 2009 the reconstructed building was designated as a Municipal Historic Resource for the City of Lethbridge. Today the Acadia Block, at 614-616 3 Avenue South, is the home of Dove Christian Supplies Photo - Exterior of the Acadia Block taken after the 19 March 1918 fire in the building. 614-616 3 Avenue South.

47289	The Clinton Age, Clinton, Iowa, April 23, 1886 WEDDING BELLS HANCOCK-YOUNG Another of those pleasant episodes which mark the march of time and leave a bright oasis in the memories of the past occurred Wednesday at the mansion of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Young. In response to elegantly gotten up cards of invitation a large number of guests assembled to witness the ceremony which should make one, Mr. Charles T. Hancock, of Dubuque, and Miss Marie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Young, of this city. To the delicious strains of the wedding march the groom with Mr. Leiter of Chicago as best man, and the bride attended by her sister, Miss Jennie, as Maid of Honor, took their places in the bay window which was a complete bank of flowers, and beneath an arch of smilax and roses from which depended a mammoth wedding bell composed entirely of white roses and carnations. Here the ceremony was performed by Rev. J. D. Burrell of the Presbyterian Church, which concluded, the soft sweet airs of congratulations fell gently from the ear from, an orchestra concealed in the third story, and the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hancock passed before the newly married couple with warm congratulations and fervent God speeds. A sumptuous wedding supper was discussed by the guests at the conclusion of the reception. Mr. and Mrs. Hancock departed on the midnight train for a brief bridal trip through the east, and will soon return on No. 11 Highland Place, Dubuque, where they will be at home Thursdays in May to their friends. The floral decorations were very profuse and artistic and the eye rested upon roses wherever it turned. Upon entering the guests were confronted with a dense bank of flowers reaching up the grand stairway to the third story and the balusters were artistically entwined with smilax interspersed here and there with budding roses and at intervals with the first flowers of Spring from nature's own garden. The guests were received by Messrs. Frank Thornburg and W. J. Young, Jr., who acted as ushers. The following are the names of the guests present from abroad: James Hayes, of Chicago; Mr. E. M.

47300	The death occurred on July 1, 2014 at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital of Guy William Pollock, at the age of 88. Guy was predeceased by his parents John Adams Pollock and Caroline "Carrie" Hennigar , by his wife of sixty years, Isabel Teresa (Firth), in 2007, and 7 brothers and one sister . and is survived by children Carol and Barry (Jan) and grandchildren Jackson and Jasmine Last and Neil and Kaitlin Pollock. Guy was born on July 18, 1925 in the village of Glenlevit, New Brunswick. Eager to see the world, he fudged his age to join the army as the Second World War raged in Europe. Despite his father's protests at the recruiting office, he was sent to boot camp in Ontario for training in the artillery, and on his 18th birthday was given his orders and shipped to Sicily. He took his place on the big guns and spent most of the war in Italy; he was marching towards Holland when it ended in 1945. He said every day after surviving the war was a gift, and he treated life that way. He became an advocate for peace and never owned a gun. Guy met Isabel in Timmins, ON after the war when he was asked to pick her up at the train station. "The most beautiful thing I ever saw," he later recalled. Together they formed a bond that spanned the decades as Guy followed the booming mining industry across the country, from Timmins to Yellowknife, and Atikokan to Bancroft, in Canada's post-war expansion of its resources. His favourite job was exploration mining as part of a two-man crew camping on the side of a mountain high above Revelstoke, B.C. Accessible only by helicopter, he and his partner would sometimes see grizzlies roaming in a distant valley when the clouds below them broke. His home movies of his time there show his appreciation for the surroundings and the wildlife that he observed there, from lumbering grizzlies to scampering picas. A devoted family man, Guy once said that the most interesting thing you could do in life was watch your children grow. A great crooner, he spent time singing and reading to them when they were young and later shared conversations both intimate and worldly with them. By example he taught them the principles of equality and justice for men and women alike. He was naturally reserved, but the extended family remembers his great sense of humour and just how much fun he could be. A lifelong learner, he never stopped reading about everything from politics to philosophy to baseball. He was a great resource who could always help you finish a crossword puzzle with his extensive knowledge. Who else could tell you what an oast was? Above all, he was a humble man with a good heart who always made sure everyone else was served first. At his request, no funeral service was held. Our house seems empty without you Dad	Pollock, Guy William (I41785)

TAYLOR (BRADSHAW), Arlene - In loving memory of my Dearest Wife Arlene who passed away November 19, 2003 She left me here alone, with beautiful memories of our 43 years together.

I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine;
I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time.
We made our vows together, Until death do us part.
But the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I'm dreaming; I can't believe it's true,
That I can go on living when I no longer have you.
And the memories of the happy years when we were together;
the joys, the tears, the love, the fears, will stay with me forever. And when I'm sad and lonely And everything goes wrong,
I seem to her you whisper, Cheer up and carry on
Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say,
Don't cry; I'm only sleeping, we'll meet again someday

Always and lovingly remembered by husband Bob and all the Family

Ted Miller: Birth info from OPR Births 496/00 0030 0242 Dumbarton Register - Birth Date 24 August 1806.

Based on correspondence from Muriel Peppler, I believe that John Miller 1806 came to Canada in 1826 (unexplained date in a Robert Miller bible in the possession of Carolee, daughter of Clinton Park, granddaughter of Elizabeth Miller Park 2017).

Family lore suggests that he worked on a ships crew and left the ship in Quebec and made his way to Lanark County. He would have been 20 years of age at the time and would have qualified for a free grant of land when he reached age 21 but the land granting program was cancelled in 1827. He therefore did not receive a land grant.

It is not know at this time where he worked and lived until his marriage to Margaret Blair in Lanark, Rev. John Gemmill, in 1831 (Marriage certificate believed to have been held by Melville Millar in the 1990s). It is suspected that he may have worked for James Blair for a time and thus met his daughter Margaret. James Blair settled in Dalhousie in 1820. He died before 1834 and his son George acquired the property Dalhousie Concession 1 Lot 8 and applied for the crown patent for this lot.
Land Record Dalhousie C1 L8 (Almonte Registry Office - researched by Mel Miller)
1837 Crown to George Blair
1852 George Blair to Robert Bateson
1865 Robert Bateson to George Blair
1872 George Blair to Andrew Paul
1876 Andrew Paul to Stewart Miller
1881 Stewart Miller to George Blair
1885 George Blair to Jane Blair
1895 Stewart Miller and wife to James Dunham
Stewart Miller, son of John and Margaret, retured to this farm in the 1870's with his first wife, Jane Elliott, age 40 who died in 1883 and a son John, age 12 who died in 1881. Jane and her son are buried in the same plot as George Blair in the Watson Corners cemetery.

It is believed that two children were born before moving to Bathurst. One unsubstatiated suggestion is that William was born in Huntley Township, Carleton County. If this can be established it might suggest that John was engaged in the timber industry for a period. This was one of the common methods for gaining currency during this period.

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Perth, ON
John (21 Jan 1836 - 13 Feb 1846) and Margaret (1 Feb 1835, communicant - 13- Jun 1846) were members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Perth. It lists their location as Bathurst C2 L8 at time of becoming members (1836). Margaret's location is given as Perth at time of departure from congregation.

Their children
(*PAO Toronto. MS 201 Reel#1 Church Records: Drummond, Bathurst, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church)
William - birth location to be confirmed;
Catherine - birth location and baptism to be confirmed;
James Miller born 15 Dec, 1835, chr. 8 May 1836, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3*
George Miller born 18 Sep 1837, chr. 24 Sep 1837, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3*
David - born circa 1840, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County
Stewart - born c 1841, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County
Robert - born 1834-4, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County
John - born circa 1850, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County

Research on the two Bathurst Township locations gives this information:
Location from Baptismal records:
C2 L3E - 1824 Hugh Spratt
C2 L3E - 1829 Patrick Kane
C2 L3W - 1824 Michael Cullen
C2 L3W - 1825 Samuel McLellan
C2 L3W - 1841 Isaac Corry
It is probable that they rented or leased part of this lot for a period of time.

Location from John Miller, St. Andrew's Role and Lanark Land Records, Book I, sale of property to Andrew Miller and Early Settlers in Bathurst Township; JRE Miller :
C2 L8E - 1826 John McKenzie
C2 L8E - 1832 Henry Graham
C2 L8W - 1833 Archibald Fraser
C2 L8W - 1833 John Miller
C2 L8W - 1833 Andrew Miller
It appears that John Miller owned this lot jointly with Archibald Fraser 1833-1838. The sale to Andrew was recorded on 12 Dec 1838.

After the move to Hastings County, Land records indicate that John and Margaret resided at Rawdon C9 L21 but later acquired additional properties.

Riders in Collision.
A very serious accident befel Peter Boyle, aged 16 years, a son of Mr. Robert Hendry Boyle, a farmer, residing at Harrisville, on Thursday afternoon. It appears (says the Ipswich Advocate) that after dinner Boyle went
out to water a couple of horses. On his way he met his cousin, William, who mounted the other steed and they commenced driving some cattle out of a paddock. While doing so, a hare was started, and a chase ensued. During the run William's horse became unmanageable), and ran into the horse that Peter was riding, knocking both to the ground with considerable violence, with the result that Boyle received severe concussion of the brain. The medical superintendent of the hospital has very little hope of his recovery.

The Late Mrs. S. Drummond.
We regret to record the death of Mary Burns, wife of Mr. Samuel Drummond, of Ramsay, which took place on Monday last, two weeks after the birth of her daughter. She was 36 years of age. Deceased had been making good progress for some time after her confinement, but complications arose, with a fatal result. Mrs. Drummond was well and favourably known, and was highly esteemed for her excellence of head and heart. With an unusual bright and cheerful disposition, a kind nature, and the spirit of generosity well developed, she won for herself a large circle of warm friends, who now mourn her untimely demise, while the sympathy of the whole community is with Mr. Drummond and his four little children in their irreparable loss. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and the cortege was a mile in length as it left the house, a tangible evidence of the respect and sympathy of the countryside. The Oddfellows of this town attended in a body to mark their condolence with their bereft brother. Rev. R. J. Hutcheon, M.A. officiated at the funeral, deceased having been a member of St. Andrews congregation.

The bad luck surrounding the Gilmour firm continued on into the late 1870's and it was not just in the field of economics. The newspapers followed with keen interest the mysterious disappearance of John Gilmour in February of 1877. Four Quebec detectives were involved in the search for him.

Mr. John Gilmour - The Last Hopes Abandoned

The relatives and friends of Mr Joh Gilmour appear to believe that there is now no chance of his being found alive, and the search has been given up, though not however, till everything has been done that could possibly be thought of. Every quarter of Montreal has been searched in vain, as well as all the roads leading out of the city, and no trace of the missing gentleman can be found. The last that was seen of him, is when he was met shortly before noon on sunday on Peter street, walking towards the river. It is supposed that the lamented gentleman must have walked from the street upon the ice in a meditative mood and have fallen into the water, at some of the holes where ice has been cut out of the river.
In reference to the report that Mr. Gilmour was seen last week at Prescott, we learn that it was not our fellow citizen, but his brother, Mr. Gilmour of Ottawa, who was then on his way down to Montreal.

The Trenton Courier reported that;

"The cause of the disappearance is enshrouded in mystery but it is supposed that the flight of Mr. MacDuff may have had a depressing effect upon his mind. Mr. MacDuff, one of their chief men, involved the company in a loss of $30,000 and suddenly left Montreal last week."

Several months later the newspaper informed readers that fishermen had "discovered the body of Mr. Gilmour floating down the river." The supposition is that he jumped into the open place made by the ice cutters."

The Battle of Neville's Cross took place during the Second War of Scottish Independence on 17 October 1346, half a mile (800 m) to the west of Durham, England. An invading Scottish army of 12,000 led by King David II was defeated with heavy loss by an English army of approximately 6,000?7,000 men led by Ralph Neville, Lord Neville. The battle was named after an Anglo-Saxon stone cross that stood on the hill where the Scots made their stand. After the victory, Neville paid to have a new cross erected to commemorate the day.

DEATH OF CONDUCTOR LYNCH.
Pneumonia Claims Him as a Victim at Forsyth - Funeral Today.

Henry C. Lynch of Billings died in Forsyth Wednesday night from that dread disease, pneumonia. The first intimation that Mr. Lynch was ill came in a telegram to his wife Wednesday afternoon stating that he was sick at Forsyth, but conveying no information that his condition was serious. Mrs. Lynch at once made preparations to go down to Forsyth on the midnight freight train accompanied by her brother, Ed Fraser. While waiting at home she received another telegram, which brought the startling news that her husband had just died. The body was brought to Billings yesterday noon. Mr. Lynch, who was a freight conductor on the Northern Pacific, left last Saturday on a stock train, his run being between Billings and Forsyth. He was not feeling well when he took his departure, but thought little of it. The slight illness soon developed into pneumonia, which caused his death. The deceased had been a resident of Billings for a number of years, having first come here as a brakeman for the Northern Pacific railroad, but for the past two years had been conductor. He was a native of Alabama, where a mother and two sisters reside. The deceased leaves a wife and two small daughters to mourn the loss of husband and father. The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of A. Fraser, father-in-law of the deceased at To. 16 North Thirtieth street, conducted by Rev. W. D. Clark, pastor of the Congregational church.

THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, VOL. XXXIX., NO. 11, Page 1, Column 3, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, January 27, 1916, "Job MILLER Dead; Was Ninety-One."

Job MILLER, one of the oldest men in Greene county, who recently passed away at the home of W. W. SIMPSON, Owensburg, at the age of ninety years, eleven months and four days, was born in Campbell county, Tenn. At the age of seven years he moved with his parents to Jackson township, this county, where he had been a resident almost ever since.

He was united in marriage in 1846. To this union were born six children, four having passed to the great beyond. Two children by the first marriage are still living, namely: Mrs. W. W. SIMPSON, of Owensburg, and Mary FRINFROCK, of Vincennes. .

He was married the second time to Elizabeth LAMB, on April 15, 1858, and to this union nine children were born, five of whom have passed away. The four surviving ones are Francis Marion MILLER, of near Switz City; Mrs. Alice HUDSON, of Bedford; Mrs. Caroline WHORTON, of Spokane, Washington, and Mrs. Ella May EDINGTON, of Jasonville.

Uncle Job was a hard working man. It is said of him that he probably had cleared more land and split more rails than any other man in Jackson township. In an early day when the settlers so much needed the help of each other he was the first at a log rolling, wood chopping, house raising and in all calls for charity it was always a pleasing task for him to assist the needy. He helped haul the logs to build the first house in Owensburg. He also helped by hauling and working as a laborer to build the first church house in the vicinity of Owensburg; it was know as Old White Oak church, of which congregation he became a member. The same church house was later removed to Owensburg and is now in use. He lived in Greene county when he paid his taxes at the county seat with raccoon skins, which were a legal tender. He witnessed the development of this county for almost a century and like to talk about the transformation from a wilderness to a modern commonwealth.

The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Owensburg in which congregation he was a member at the time of his death. The services were conducted by Elder J. L. HATFIELD, pastor of the Church of Christ, and Pastor FLYNN, of the M. E. Church, after which the remains were taken to the old DISHMAN cemetery, where they were laid to rest. He has left us but we are glad to still hold him in our memory.

The Bowman Arts Centre In 1911, the decision was taken by Alberta's Department of Education to build a manual training school in Lethbridge. It was to serve as a regional centre for the teaching of domestic science and manual arts. At the time there were two other schools in the province offering these courses, the Calgary Normal School and the Camrose Normal School, but Lethbridge was the first school to be built specifically for these purposes. In 1913, the Edmonton Technical School was built to serve the northern portion of the province.

In 1915, as a result of the economic impact of World War I, the school's funds and teaching staff were greatly strained. Vocational classes were ended, and after appropriate renovations, the building reopened as the Lethbridge High School, a function which it served until 1928. In 1929 it was reduced to an elementary school and renamed in honour of Charles B. Bowman, a prominent Lethbridge businessman. Bowman had worked as a clerk for the H. Bently Company and in 1891, began the C.B. Bowman Insurance Agency. He was also extensively involved in civic affairs, serving as an alderman, a director of the Board of Trade and as a school board member. The school continued to occupy the building until 1963, when it was purchased by the City of Lethbridge.

The Allied Arts Council moved into the building after the purchase, when the City of Lethbridge spent $12,000 on minimal improvements. It became known as the Bowman Arts Centre. In 1980, Bailey Consultants published, Encore: Recycling Public Buildings for the Arts.

Lethbridge Historical Society added 4 new photos.

Can the building be saved?

When someone states that a historic building has too much damage to be saved, it is sometimes a good thing to think about the Acadia Block.

In March 1918, the Acadia Block suffered the worst fire in Lethbridge history to that date.

"Lethbridge last night experienced the most disastrous fire in its history when the Acadia block owned by C.B. Bowman and L.M. Johnstone was completely gutted with a loss of approximately $104,350, well covered by insurance?

The fire was the most spectacular ever seen in Lethbridge. Coming as it did in the evening, and with the flames pouring through the roof, it presented a spectacle of destruction such as has seldom been witnessed and it was the magnet which drew over 2500 people from all corners of the city." (20 March 1918 Lethbridge Herald)

As can be seen from the pictures, the building was in shambles following the fire.

But the owners chose to salvage and rebuild the building.

In August 2009 the reconstructed building was designated as a Municipal Historic Resource for the City of Lethbridge.

Today the Acadia Block, at 614-616 3 Avenue South, is the home of Dove Christian Supplies

WEDDING BELLS
HANCOCK-YOUNG

Another of those pleasant episodes which mark the march of time and leave a bright oasis in the memories of the past occurred Wednesday at the mansion of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Young. In response to elegantly gotten up cards of invitation a large number of guests assembled to witness the ceremony which should make one, Mr. Charles T. Hancock, of Dubuque, and Miss Marie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Young, of this city.

To the delicious strains of the wedding march the groom with Mr. Leiter of Chicago as best man, and the bride attended by her sister, Miss Jennie, as Maid of Honor, took their places in the bay window which was a complete bank of flowers, and beneath an arch of smilax and roses from which depended a mammoth wedding bell composed entirely of white roses and carnations.

Here the ceremony was performed by Rev. J. D. Burrell of the Presbyterian Church, which concluded, the soft sweet airs of congratulations fell gently from the ear from, an orchestra concealed in the third story, and the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hancock passed before the newly married couple with warm congratulations and fervent God speeds.

A sumptuous wedding supper was discussed by the guests at the conclusion of the reception.

Mr. and Mrs. Hancock departed on the midnight train for a brief bridal trip through the east, and will soon return on No. 11 Highland Place, Dubuque, where they will be at home Thursdays in May to their friends.

The floral decorations were very profuse and artistic and the eye rested upon roses wherever it turned. Upon entering the guests were confronted with a dense bank of flowers reaching up the grand stairway to the third story and the balusters were artistically entwined with smilax interspersed here and there with budding roses and at intervals with the first flowers of Spring from nature's own garden. The guests were received by Messrs. Frank Thornburg and W. J. Young, Jr., who acted as ushers.

The following are the names of the guests present from abroad:
James Hayes, of Chicago; Mr. E. M. Dickey; Mr. J. B. Ricketts; Mr. Lyman Seaman; Mr. Charles Peasley; Mr. C. D. Ham; Dr. and Mrs. Staples; Miss Staples; Mrs. Fennimore; Mrs. Enz; Miss Enz; Mr. W. H. Torbert; Miss Mamie Torbert; Rev. Dr. Ames; Mr. Douglass Ryan; Mr. and Mrs. John T. Hancock; Mr. Frank Hancock; Miss Blanche Hancock; and Miss Adel Hancock of Dubuque; Col. Bolan, of New York City; and Mr. C. M. Fish, of Joliet, Ill.

The groom, Mr. Charles T. Hancock, of Dubuque, is a prosperous young merchant of that city, where he is engaged in the wholesale grocery business, and the bride, Miss Marie, is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Young of this city, one of Clinton's fairest daughters, born in this city and from her childhood she has made many warm friends of all her acquaintances. The entire community join in a hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hancock.

The death occurred on July 1, 2014 at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital of Guy William Pollock, at the age of 88. Guy was predeceased by his parents John Adams Pollock and Caroline "Carrie" Hennigar , by his wife of sixty years, Isabel Teresa (Firth), in 2007, and 7 brothers and one sister . and is survived by children Carol and Barry (Jan) and grandchildren Jackson and Jasmine Last and Neil and Kaitlin Pollock.

Guy was born on July 18, 1925 in the village of Glenlevit, New Brunswick. Eager to see the world, he fudged his age to join the army as the Second World War raged in Europe. Despite his father's protests at the recruiting office, he was sent to boot camp in Ontario for training in the artillery, and on his 18th birthday was given his orders and shipped to Sicily. He took his place on the big guns and spent most of the war in Italy; he was marching towards Holland when it ended in 1945. He said every day after surviving the war was a gift, and he treated life that way. He became an advocate for peace and never owned a gun.

Guy met Isabel in Timmins, ON after the war when he was asked to pick her up at the train station. "The most beautiful thing I ever saw," he later recalled. Together they formed a bond that spanned the decades as Guy followed the booming mining industry across the country, from Timmins to Yellowknife, and Atikokan to Bancroft, in Canada's post-war expansion of its resources. His favourite job was exploration mining as part of a two-man crew camping on the side of a mountain high above Revelstoke, B.C. Accessible only by helicopter, he and his partner would sometimes see grizzlies roaming in a distant valley when the clouds below them broke. His home movies of his time there show his appreciation for the surroundings and the wildlife that he observed there, from lumbering grizzlies to scampering picas.

A devoted family man, Guy once said that the most interesting thing you could do in life was watch your children grow. A great crooner, he spent time singing and reading to them when they were young and later shared conversations both intimate and worldly with them. By example he taught them the principles of equality and justice for men and women alike. He was naturally reserved, but the extended family remembers his great sense of humour and just how much fun he could be. A lifelong learner, he never stopped reading about everything from politics to philosophy to baseball. He was a great resource who could always help you finish a crossword puzzle with his extensive knowledge. Who else could tell you what an oast was?

Above all, he was a humble man with a good heart who always made sure everyone else was served first. At his request, no funeral service was held.

Our house seems empty without you Dad
