A short distance from Ipswich the road crosses the line to the right, and you have to keep the line on your left as far as Flinders, passing through Rockton, Peak Crossing, en route. There is a hotel at Peak Crossing, and a tank of very cool water at Flinders Station. CrossIng the line, continue the road straight on {the line goes oft to the right).

47409	The serious illness of Mr. James W. Campbell was a matter of concern to all our citizens, and when on Tuesday morning of last week Mrs. Campbell was called to Montreal, whither her husband had been taken for hospital treatment, there spread the impression that his recovery could not be looked for. On Wednesday evening a telegram was received conveying the sad intelligence that the doctors in the hospital gave him only two hours more to live. This was a preparation for the telegram received on Thursday morning, announcing that his death occurred at half-past eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. Mr. Campbell entered Victoria Hospital, in Montreal, on Monday, March 27th. Before going to the hospital he had been ill for four weeks, and twice in that time his life was despaired of. But he gained strength rapidly, and was doing as well as could be expected until a day or two before his removal to the hospital. To the friends who called on him the day before he was taken to Montreal he appeared to be in the best of spirits and expressed his confidence that he would soon return in better health. No doubt his cheerfulness enabled him to prolong the struggle for life, but the Divinity that shapes our ends had decreed against his recovery. A week ago Friday last he underwent the first operation, which was highly succesfull and promised the most favorable results, but on Monday of last week he took a turn for the worse, requiring a second operation the following day. He suffered intensely after this operation, but remained conscious up to the last few minutes of his life. Characteristic of his business-like turn of mind was his action in settling all his bills with the hospital authorities a few hours before his death. Mr. James Deachman, who accompanied him to Montreal, was with him until the end. His remains were brought home on Thursday night. Deceased was a son of the late Arch. Campbell, of Lanark township, and was born forty-one years ago on the farm now occupied by Mr. John Ramsbottom, jr. Six brothers - John, Andrew, Duncan, David, Archibald and William - and three sisters - Mrs. John McDonald and Mrs. John Somerville, jr., of Lanark township, and Mrs. Richard Stead, of Cartwright, Man., survive him. His early boyhood days were spent at the school near his home and his education was finished by a course in the Lanark village public school. On leaving school he went to work with his brother, William, who was then running a hub and spoke factory at Stittsville. After working there for some time he returned here, his father having purchased the lot and erected the shingle and planing mill formerly operated by Mr. Arch. Affleck. His brother, William, had charge of the mill for several years, when it was sold to Mr. Robt. Lawson, from whom it was subsequently purchased by deceased. He operated it for a time, and eleven years ago sold it to Mr. Arch. Affleck. He then embarked in the furniture business, beginning on a small scale in a building adjoining his residence. The venture proved successful and his trade increased so rapidly that he soon required larger quarters. He then purchased from Mr. Arch. Daron the large shop on Main street, where he had built up a most successful business for himself. Strange to say, he never served an apprenticeship and yet was a skilled mechanic. He manufactured a high-grade of furniture and carried a heavy and well-assorted stock. This, with his shrewd, careful business talent, brought him a large trade. He was keen to do business, prompt to the minute in the fulfillment of all agreements, and a pleasant man to deal with. Nineteen years ago he was married to Miss Lizzie McKerracher, of Bathurst, and she now mourns an irreparable loss. Three sons, John, Maynard and Wilmur, and one daughter, Lila, are deprived of the care and guidance of a loving father. The eldest son is but sixteen years of age, while Wilmur, the youngest of the family, is nine years old. Deceased was a great lover of home and took special pleasure in his family, on which account the bereavement will be the more severe to his wife and children. Mrs. Campbell, who attended her husband almost constantly during his illness before he was removed to the hospital and who was with him during the last two days of his life, is prostrated with grief and fatigue, but kind and sympathetic hands will be held out helpfully to her as she wades through the deep waters of affliction. The whole community sympathize with her and the family in their bereavement. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon at one o'clock, the services at the house being conducted by the deceased's pastor, Rev. D.M. Buchanan. The text chosen was John XIV: 18 - "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" - and Mr. Buchanan's remarks were well calculated to soothe the grief and sorrow of the mourning friends. After the services an opportunity was given to all to look for the last time upon the familiar countenance of their departed friend, when the casket containing his remains was carried from the house to the hearse at the door by Messrs. D. McKerracher and R. Burris and deceased's four brothers, Andrew, Archibald, Duncan and David. Then began the solemn march to the village cemetery, where all that was earthly of him was confined to the silence of the tomb - the closing scene of a life which, a few weeks ago, was full of promise of usefulness to the community and pleasure and happiness to his family.

Returning to Oxford, he was admitted B.D. on 23 July 1657, and in the year following was appointed principal of St. Edmund Hall and rector of Grittleton in Wiltshire. After the Restoration he was created D.D. on 9 November 1660, and nominated one of the royal chaplains in ordinary, and in April 1675 was appointed dean of Ripon. According to Nicholas Tyacke, he was an important conforming Calvinist voice in the post-Restoration Church of England,[1] even if his strictness, in the view of Anthony Wood, hindered his advancement. He died in the parsonage-house at Grittleton on 14 January 1676.

He married first Lillias "Lillie Ferguson (c1802-1868) May 20th, 1825 at First Presbyterian Church at Perth by the Rev. William Bell.

April 3rd, 1884 at Brockville. Though his Death Notice in the Perth Courier February 5th, 1892 records his birth at Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland all other sources record the United States with his last marriage recording New York State. Death of Mr. John W. Adams. On Friday morning last, our venerable townsman, Mr. John W. Adams, on getting up in the morning to kindle the fire was seized with a paralytic stroke, and died shortly after. He had been in his usual good health, apparently, but something like shortness of breath had troubled him for some time, though he could still walk long distances, and was considered even at his age an active man. He had just finished his 89th year on the Saturday before his death. The late Mr. Adams was one of our oldest inhabitants. He was born in county Tyrone, Ireland, in the year 1803, and when a few years old went with his father to New Jersey, U.S., where the latter became interested in a cotton factory. The venture being disastrous, the father removed to Perth, in the year 1816 - the date of its settlement - and drew land on the Scotch Line, where he farmed till his death. His son John worked on the farm also, but was a good mechanic as well as a farmer, being handy in making anything out of wood or iron. When sickles began to give way for cradles for cutting grain, fifty years ago, Mr. Adams turned his hand to making cradles, and supplied many a local farmer with these new implements. The strides from the reaping hooks of Biblical days to the self-binding harvester of 1892 tells of the time spanned by Mr. Adams' years, and the wonderful improvements in mechanical contrivances in his lifetime. Mr. Adams was a noted teacher of vocal music, and most of the classes in old times were instructed by he and his brother William now dead many years. Mr. Adams was a member of Knox (Presbyterian) church and a faithful attendant at its ministrations. He was married three times but was without children. His last wife survives her aged partner, and has the sympathy of all friends. The funeral took place on Monday last to the old burying ground, and was attended largely both from town and country. Rev. James Ross, B.D., of Knox church, preached a funeral sermon last Sabbath morning in memory of the deceased from the words: Well done thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things." The few things over which he was faithful were brought out and recommended as examples to all Christians.

47424	The story that follows came from Evelyn Eberhardt, a great granddaughter of Caroline's grandfather, William Alexander McLaren (1806-1894): Caroline never weighed more than about 125 pounds and had black hair ? a lot of it when I saw her in 1985 at age 87 years. The Presbyterian Church sent young girls to many foreign countries. We know that she was in Japan and China for sure. When she and her husband George decided to make a trip back to China they hired a small airplane to take them to a place where she had done missionary work. On the way there the pilot had a heart attack. She took over and flew the plane the rest of the way. They were both in their 70's at this time. She had learned to fly as a young woman. When I visited her in 1985 the staff at the home where she lived thought all her talk about world travel was in her imagination. When her husband died they lived in Wellandport, Ontario. When she died in 1907 at the age of 100 years, she left her million dollars to the Presbyterian Church. posted bu david_j_mclaren on Ancestry	McLaren, Caroline Elizabeth (I3381)

47427	THE TWINS Anna Joransson was born 14 April 1840 in Lyngby, Malmohus (Skane Lan), Sweden, a twin to her sister Botilda Joransson. Anna and Botilda were the first in their family to be converted to the Latter Day Saints faith, in August 1855. Anna and Botilda's parents were subsequently converted and the entire family began to be pressured for having left Lutheranism, the state religion of Sweden. With her parents and siblings, and her father's brother Jons and family, Anna immigrated to the United States. The family left Sweden in October 1855, traveling first to Denmark, then to England. They left Liverpool, England on December 12, 1855, traveling on the wooden three-masted ship "John J. Boyd". They arrived at New York on February 18, 1856, then traveled to Keokuk, Iowa, where they worked for a year to acquire funding to complete their journey to the Utah Territory. While they were in Keokuk, in 1856, Anna's twin sister Botilda married the Swedish missionary who had baptized their parents into the LDS church, Lars Nils Larsson. Sadly, Botilda died of illness shortly after, and her widower Lars Larsson married Anna and Botilda's first cousin Pernella Jonsdotter/Jonsson. A VARIETY OF SURNAMES The family members' names on the ship's New York passenger list were spelled by the clerk as "Soran Joransen" with "Karna, Peter, Botille, Anna, Elna, and Jens" also given Joransen as their surname. Their names were further changed during their stay in Iowa, where Joransson became Jorgensson, and then finally Yorgason. Anna was married and had changed her surname to that of her husband's before her family's surname was changed to Yorgason. HER OFFSPRING She married Sondre Ostensen Bakka Sanders aka Sondra Sanders on December 1, 1857, at Salt Lake City, Utah. Three of their children died in infancy: Osten/Austin (1858), Joseph (1862), and Sarah Caroline (1865). At her death in May 1879, Anna left eight children: -Anna Matilda Sanders, age 19 -Sondra Sanders Jr., age 18 -Orson Sanders, age 16 -Heber Soren Sanders, age 11 -Peter James Sanders, age 8 -George Albert Sanders, age 5 -Mary Ellen Sanders, age 3 -Harriet Rosalia "Rose" Sanders, age 1 1/2 months The children were then cared for by the eldest daughter, Anna Matilda Sanders. Even after Anna Matilda Sanders was married in 1881, the youngest child, Rose, was still cared for by her eldest sister. Anna Joransson Sanders' husband, Sondra, was remarried on December 1, 1881, to a younger woman also named Anna, and he had two more children with his second wife.	Joransson, Anna (I23050)

47430	The Ward County Independent, Thursday, April 30, 1908; Article #1 dated 04/30/1908, Page 12; John McJannett Died This Morning After an illness of seven weeks from tuberculosis, John McJannett, one of Minot's oldest and best beloved citizens died at this home in this city this morning at 10 o'clock. The grim reaper came so quietly and that the sorrowing friends and relatives hardly realized that the spirit had taken its flight until all was over. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and will be conducted by the Star in the West lodge, No 33 A.F. and A.M. of which lodge Mr. McJannett was long a member, and one of the most prominent workers. The members of the DeMolay Commandery will act as escort. The deceased realized for nearly two weeks that his days were numbered, and while he dreaded the thoughts of leaving his loved ones, he became reconciled to his fate and realized that it was the wish of his Master. Mr. McJannett made all of his funeral arrangements to the minutest detail, it being his desire that he should have a Blue Lodge funeral. He asked that his remains lie at his home for two days after death, and then for two days to line in state in the new Masonic Temple, which he dedicated but a few weeks ago acting as Deputy Grand Master. In accordance with this desire, his remains will be taken from his home Saturday morning and to the Temple where they will remain until the funeral hour. Mr. McJannett desired that James Maxwell of Grafton, an old friend, should prepare his remains for burial. Mr. Maxwell, President of the Board of Embalming Examiners for North Dakota, W. M.

47433	The Winchester Tragedy - Rev. Mr Rowat and the "Daily News" The following letter appeared in the GLOBE of Saturday: "To the Editor of the Globe) "Sir, I regret very much that a false impression has been made upon the public mind in some sections in regard to the confession made to me by Clark Brown, the young man who, on the evening of 2nd inst., murdered his father and sister. lIn some of the reports of the terrible tragedy I am represented as having held out to Clark Brown forgiveness from man on condition of his confessing his sin. For example, THE DAILY NEWS (Kingston) has the following in regard to the matter: "Yesterday morning he was visited by the Rev Mr Rowat, Presbyterian minister, who induced him to tell all he knew of the murder, holding out a promise of pardon if he did so. What right Mr Rowat had to hold out a prospect of forgiveness we are at a loss to know, etc. "Now I emphatically deny having done any such thing, as both constables Ryke and Stalmyre, who were present at the time, will testify. As a minister of the Gospel I had nothing to do with the man's relation to an earthly tribunal. Every word I read and spoke to him, as well as every petition presented to a throne of grace for him, had reference to his relation to a higher tribunal. I cannot understand how an editor with a grain of common sense in him could for one moment think that a minister of the Gospel could be so utterly devoid of every principle of morality as to be guilty of such an action as that attributed to me by the editor of the DAILY NEWS. Yours truly, "A. Rowat West Winchester, Sep 10 1879 "I hope that the DAILY NEWS and all other papers that have helped to give publicity to false statements in regard to the matter, derogatory to my reputation, will immediately correct these by copying the above. A.R. We cheerfully give Mr Rowat's letter all the prominence he desires. The remarks in the NEWS were based upon the following words contained in the telegraphic despatch announcing Brown's acknowledgment of having committed the crime: "The Rev. A. Rowat, Presbyterian minister, visited him this morning at six o'clock, and requested him if he had done wrong to confess it openly, holding out the inducement of forgiveness being granted. ?i?Only on that condition?/i?, he made an open confession before the two constables and the Rev. Mr Rowat. While reading the comments of the NEWS on the case, Mr Rowat could not by any possibility have failed to read the sentence which followed the estract which is contained in his letter to the GLOBE. It was as follows: "It is possible, however, that the reverend gentleman's promises referred to a court beyond earthly jurisdiction. The probabilities are that had the confession not been exacted in this way, it would have been impossible to bring home the crime to the murdered man's son, as it is not unreasonable to suppose that he would have persisted in declaring his innocence, in which case it would have been a difficult matter to convict him without some positive evidence against him. When Mr Rowat considers the phraseology of the despatch from which the above extract is taken, he will scarcely wonder that the NEWS comments on the forgiveness question appeared. Our only surprixe is, that he in writing to the GLOBE should deliberately ignore our qualifying remarks in regard to his offer of forgiveness.

Son of William Gardner and Christian Henderson Married Margaret Calinder, May 25, 1800, Falkirk Parish, Barony, Lanark, Scotland Children - William Gardner, Robert Gardner, Archibald Gardner, Mary Gardner; the following children died in Scotland, baby girl Gardner, Margaret Gardner (b. 1801), Christine Gardner, Margaret Gardner (b. 1810), Janet Gardner, female child Gardner History - Robert Gardner, age eighteen, and Margaret Calender, age twenty two, were married. Robert Gardner was a Lowlander. The lowlands have the best farm land, while the Highlands fill the entire northern half of Scotland and have scenery of exquisite beauty. Robert was a "good scholar." He was apprenticed to learn the carpenter's trade. During his early married life he kept a grocery store and the Black Bull Inn tavern. He later rented the Garrel Mill from the Canal Company. The mill was located on the outskirts of Kilsyth. Robert was imprisoned for in the Stirling castle for speaking out against the queen. He was found innocent and released. Nine weeks of imprisonment, however, was sufficient to fill him with resentment against the injustice meted out to him and to give him the determination to leave this the land of his birth and seek his fortune in a far country. Historical records indicate that forty-seven men were taken to Stirling Castle, and twenty-four of them were tried and sentenced to death. Based on Archibald's autobiography, Robert must have been one of the men who was released without being tried. Nineteen of the death sentences were commuted, and those men were sent to Botany Bay in Australia. The Gardner family sailed to Canada where they homesteaded in the area of backwoods of Canada in the Township of Dalhousie, Banthest District, Upper Canada. This was a very poor part of the country consisting of rocky ridges covered with heavy timber mostly hemlock, pine, cedar and some hardwood. Some swamps and mud lakes, and here and there small patch of land that would do to cultivate, after cutting and burning the heavy timber then there was a kind of a thistle that came up among the grain which compelled us to reap it with gloves or mittens on our hands, cradles, reapers, and thrashing machines was not in fashion in that country in those day. And it was hard, cold country to live in. Robert's son, Archibald, was a young man and was tired of the poor country and started west in search of a better country which he found about 500 miles of in the township of Warwick then known as county of Kent, Western District called Canada West, near the lower end of Lake Huron. He then bought some land claims called W. E. claims that was then in the market, and entered some land and then returned home and soon as it was convenient he and his older brother William started for there new home in the West. Meantime the rest of the family went to work to clear off another timbered farm the labor was hard they we had to cut down the timber, cut it in about sixteen foot lengths haul it together with oxen, pile it in piles four or five logs high and seven or eight logs wide and set fire to it and burn them up in the summer. Then they had to plant among the stumps which it took years to rout out. There was no prairie's in that country and it took a long time to make a start in a new country in them days. Those who have been raised in the far west has but little knowledge of the labor it took to make a start in the Canada timbered lands, although this was a much better country than the one we first settled in country of Dalhousie. In the year 1844 that an elder named John Baraman brought the gospel of Jesus Christ to the neighborhood. In the beginning of January 1845 in company with a few Saints the Gardner family went a mile and half into the woods and cut a hole in the ice about 18 inches thick and was there baptized in the township of Brook in a stream called Brown's Creek. Son, Robert Jr., was there baptized by his brother William who had been ordain elder, and he was confirmed by another elder, named Samuel Bolton. Sister Mary and her husband, Roger Luckham, was the next to be baptized and the family has all joined now but father and he was the first one in the family to believe and said that it was only true church on the earth and when he heard anyone opposing he would stand up for it although he would not be baptized as soon as Robert. He embraced the gospel he had a strong desire to go to Nauvoo to see the apostle and the Saints in their gathering place, a distance of five hundred miles. He left Canada on 1st June, 1845 traveled 30 miles on foot to Port Sarnia, there took steamboat to Chicago and then traveled on foot to Nauvoo a distance 160 miles. He made the trip in two weeks his wife made him a lot of crackers and he put his crackers in a two bushel sack and he traveled on foot. He packed them on his back and the lasted him to Nauvoo. But it was a pretty good day for crackers, better than it was for money. Robert and his family traveled with the Edward Hunter - Joseph Horne Company (1847) Robert Sr., Archie and Robert Jr. sowed six acres of wheat and early in the spring of 1848 and moved camp six miles south of Salt Lake on Mill Creek. They moved their saw mill and they rebuilt on Mill Creek and commenced to make lumber and build houses and get them farms.

A short distance from Ipswich the road crosses the line to the right, and you have to keep the line on your left as far as Flinders, passing through Rockton, Peak Crossing, en route. There is a hotel at Peak Crossing, and a tank of
very cool water at Flinders Station. CrossIng the line, continue the road straight on {the line goes oft to the right). From here to Normanby Gully road very bad and rather hilly. Mrs. Scaly, at the store, tells me that nothing has been done to the road for years. The next stopping place Is Munbllla, where Mrs. Boyle will give you a very good lunch.

The serious illness of Mr. James W. Campbell was a matter of concern to all our citizens, and when on Tuesday morning of last week Mrs. Campbell was called to Montreal, whither her husband had been taken for hospital treatment, there spread the impression that his recovery could not be looked for. On Wednesday evening a telegram was received conveying the sad intelligence that the doctors in the hospital gave him only two hours more to live. This was a preparation for the telegram received on Thursday morning, announcing that his death occurred at half-past eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. Mr. Campbell entered Victoria Hospital, in Montreal, on Monday, March 27th. Before going to the hospital he had been ill for four weeks, and twice in that time his life was despaired of. But he gained strength rapidly, and was doing as well as could be expected until a day or two before his removal to the hospital. To the friends who called on him the day before he was taken to Montreal he appeared to be in the best of spirits and expressed his confidence that he would soon return in better health. No doubt his cheerfulness enabled him to prolong the struggle for life, but the Divinity that shapes our ends had decreed against his recovery. A week ago Friday last he underwent the first operation, which was highly succesfull and promised the most favorable results, but on Monday of last week he took a turn for the worse, requiring a second operation the following day. He suffered intensely after this operation, but remained conscious up to the last few minutes of his life. Characteristic of his business-like turn of mind was his action in settling all his bills with the hospital authorities a few hours before his death. Mr. James Deachman, who accompanied him to Montreal, was with him until the end. His remains were brought home on Thursday night.

Deceased was a son of the late Arch. Campbell, of Lanark township, and was born forty-one years ago on the farm now occupied by Mr. John Ramsbottom, jr. Six brothers - John, Andrew, Duncan, David, Archibald and William - and three sisters - Mrs. John McDonald and Mrs. John Somerville, jr., of Lanark township, and Mrs. Richard Stead, of Cartwright, Man., survive him. His early boyhood days were spent at the school near his home and his education was finished by a course in the Lanark village public school. On leaving school he went to work with his brother, William, who was then running a hub and spoke factory at Stittsville. After working there for some time he returned here, his father having purchased the lot and erected the shingle and planing mill formerly operated by Mr. Arch. Affleck. His brother, William, had charge of the mill for several years, when it was sold to Mr. Robt. Lawson, from whom it was subsequently purchased by deceased. He operated it for a time, and eleven years ago sold it to Mr. Arch. Affleck. He then embarked in the furniture business, beginning on a small scale in a building adjoining his residence. The venture proved successful and his trade increased so rapidly that he soon required larger quarters. He then purchased from Mr. Arch. Daron the large shop on Main street, where he had built up a most successful business for himself. Strange to say, he never served an apprenticeship and yet was a skilled mechanic. He manufactured a high-grade of furniture and carried a heavy and well-assorted stock. This, with his shrewd, careful business talent, brought him a large trade. He was keen to do business, prompt to the minute in the fulfillment of all agreements, and a pleasant man to deal with.

Nineteen years ago he was married to Miss Lizzie McKerracher, of Bathurst, and she now mourns an irreparable loss. Three sons, John, Maynard and Wilmur, and one daughter, Lila, are deprived of the care and guidance of a loving father. The eldest son is but sixteen years of age, while Wilmur, the youngest of the family, is nine years old. Deceased was a great lover of home and took special pleasure in his family, on which account the bereavement will be the more severe to his wife and children. Mrs. Campbell, who attended her husband almost constantly during his illness before he was removed to the hospital and who was with him during the last two days of his life, is prostrated with grief and fatigue, but kind and sympathetic hands will be held out helpfully to her as she wades through the deep waters of affliction. The whole community sympathize with her and the family in their bereavement.

The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon at one o'clock, the services at the house being conducted by the deceased's pastor, Rev. D.M. Buchanan. The text chosen was John XIV: 18 - "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" - and Mr. Buchanan's remarks were well calculated to soothe the grief and sorrow of the mourning friends. After the services an opportunity was given to all to look for the last time upon the familiar countenance of their departed friend, when the casket containing his remains was carried from the house to the hearse at the door by Messrs. D. McKerracher and R. Burris and deceased's four brothers, Andrew, Archibald, Duncan and David. Then began the solemn march to the village cemetery, where all that was earthly of him was confined to the silence of the tomb - the closing scene of a life which, a few weeks ago, was full of promise of usefulness to the community and pleasure and happiness to his family.

The son of George Tully of Carlisle, he was born in St. Mary's parish there on 22 July 1620. He was educated in the parish free school under John Winter, and afterwards at Barton Kirk in Westmorland. He matriculated at The Queen's College, Oxford, on 17 October 1634, graduating B.A. on 4 July 1639, and M.A. on 1 November 1642. He was elected a fellow of the college on 23 November 1643 and admitted 25 March 1644.

When Oxford was occupied by the parliamentarians he retired, and obtained the mastership of the grammar school of Tetbury in Oxfordshire. Returning to Oxford, he was admitted B.D. on 23 July 1657, and in the year following was appointed principal of St. Edmund Hall and rector of Grittleton in Wiltshire. After the Restoration he was created D.D. on 9 November 1660, and nominated one of the royal chaplains in ordinary, and in April 1675 was appointed dean of Ripon. According to Nicholas Tyacke, he was an important conforming Calvinist voice in the post-Restoration Church of England,[1] even if his strictness, in the view of Anthony Wood, hindered his advancement.

He died in the parsonage-house at Grittleton on 14 January 1676.

He was the author of:

Logica Apodeictica, sive Tractatus brevis et dilucidus de demonstratione; cum dissertatiuncula Gassendi eodem pertinente, Oxford, 1662, arguing against Pierre Gassendi.

'Buchanan. The following is from the Brockville Recorder-Times: "At the ripe old age of 98 years and 11 months less one day, the death occurred at St, Vincent de Paul hospital on Friday morning April 7th of Mr. Malcolm Buchanan, 32 St. Andrew St., one of Brockville's oldest, if not the oldest citizen. The deceased was born near Perth, third line of Bathurst, on May 8th, 1823, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Buchanan, Scotch pioneers of the district. At the age of 26 he married Miss Bridget McArow, of Perth, and they moved to Kitley township where the deceased followed farming for upwards of fifty years. His wife predeceased him 18 years ago, and a year later he came to Brockville and resided here since with his daughter, Mrs. Bridget O'Connor. Surviving are two sons and five daughters. They are Messrs. Daniel Buchanan, of Duluth, Minn.; Malcolm Buchanan, Edmonton, Alta.; Mrs. Katherine Derrig, Toledo, Ont.; Mrs. Margery Keilty, Mrs. Margaret Campbell, Toronto; Mrs. Bridget O'Connor, Brockville, and Mrs. Michael Burns [Theresa Jane], Theresa, N. Y. Several grandchildren and great grandchildren also survive. He was a Catholic in religion. The late Mr. Buchanan was well know to many residents of Brockville and surrounding district and was held in highest regard by all who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. Despite his great age his faculties were very keen and until he was taken ill a year ago took great interest in all about him. The funeral was held on Monday to St. Francis Xavier church and thence to the Brockville cemetery where the remains were placed in the vault to await interment later at Toledo."'

The son of William (c1776-?) and Henrietta (1777-1820) Adams he was born at Newry, Green Co., New York and baptized at Coxsackie, Greene Co., Neew York. He married first Lillias "Lillie Ferguson (c1802-1868) May 20th, 1825 at First Presbyterian Church at Perth by the Rev. William Bell. He next married Helen Gregory Davidson (c1819-1882) January 12th , 1870 at the residence of J. F. Kennedy, Perth, by the Rev. Thomas Henderson and lastly he married Susan (Morris) McEwen (c1821-?) April 3rd, 1884 at Brockville.

Though his Death Notice in the Perth Courier February 5th, 1892 records his birth at Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland all other sources record the United States with his last marriage recording New York State.

Death of Mr. John W. Adams. On Friday morning last, our venerable townsman, Mr. John W. Adams, on getting up in the morning to kindle the fire was seized with a paralytic stroke, and died shortly after. He had been in his usual good health, apparently, but something like shortness of breath had troubled him for some time, though he could still walk long distances, and was considered even at his age an active man. He had just finished his 89th year on the Saturday before his death.

The late Mr. Adams was one of our oldest inhabitants. He was born in county Tyrone, Ireland, in the year 1803, and when a few years old went with his father to New Jersey, U.S., where the latter became interested in a cotton factory. The venture being disastrous, the father removed to Perth, in the year 1816 - the date of its settlement - and drew land on the Scotch Line, where he farmed till his death. His son John worked on the farm also, but was a good mechanic as well as a farmer, being handy in making anything out of wood or iron. When sickles began to give way for cradles for cutting grain, fifty years ago, Mr. Adams turned his hand to making cradles, and supplied many a local farmer with these new implements. The strides from the reaping hooks of Biblical days to the self-binding harvester of 1892 tells of the time spanned by Mr. Adams' years, and the wonderful improvements in mechanical contrivances in his lifetime.

Mr. Adams was a noted teacher of vocal music, and most of the classes in old times were instructed by he and his brother William now dead many years. Mr. Adams was a member of Knox (Presbyterian) church and a faithful attendant at its ministrations.

He was married three times but was without children. His last wife survives her aged partner, and has the sympathy of all friends.

The funeral took place on Monday last to the old burying ground, and was attended largely both from town and country. Rev. James Ross, B.D., of Knox church, preached a funeral sermon last Sabbath morning in memory of the deceased from the words: Well done thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things." The few things over which he was faithful were brought out and recommended as examples to all Christians.

The story that follows came from Evelyn Eberhardt, a great granddaughter of Caroline's grandfather, William Alexander McLaren (1806-1894):
Caroline never weighed more than about 125 pounds and had black hair ? a lot of it when I saw her in 1985 at age 87 years.
The Presbyterian Church sent young girls to many foreign countries. We know that she was in Japan and China for sure. When she and her husband George decided to make a trip back to China they hired a small airplane to take them to a place where she had done missionary work. On the way there the pilot had a heart attack. She took over and flew the plane the rest of the way. They were both in their 70's at this time. She had learned to fly as a young woman.
When I visited her in 1985 the staff at the home where she lived thought all her talk about world travel was in her imagination.
When her husband died they lived in Wellandport, Ontario. When she died in 1907 at the age of 100 years, she left her million dollars to the Presbyterian Church.

THE TWINS

Anna Joransson was born 14 April 1840 in Lyngby, Malmohus (Skane Lan), Sweden, a twin to her sister Botilda Joransson.

Anna and Botilda were the first in their family to be converted to the Latter Day Saints faith, in August 1855. Anna and Botilda's parents were subsequently converted and the entire family began to be pressured for having left Lutheranism, the state religion of Sweden.

With her parents and siblings, and her father's brother Jons and family, Anna immigrated to the United States. The family left Sweden in October 1855, traveling first to Denmark, then to England. They left Liverpool, England on December 12, 1855, traveling on the wooden three-masted ship "John J. Boyd". They arrived at New York on February 18, 1856, then traveled to Keokuk, Iowa, where they worked for a year to acquire funding to complete their journey to the Utah Territory.

While they were in Keokuk, in 1856, Anna's twin sister Botilda married the Swedish missionary who had baptized their parents into the LDS church, Lars Nils Larsson. Sadly, Botilda died of illness shortly after, and her widower Lars Larsson married Anna and Botilda's first cousin Pernella Jonsdotter/Jonsson.

A VARIETY OF SURNAMES

The family members' names on the ship's New York passenger list were spelled by the clerk as "Soran Joransen" with "Karna, Peter, Botille, Anna, Elna, and Jens" also given Joransen as their surname.

Their names were further changed during their stay in Iowa, where Joransson became Jorgensson, and then finally Yorgason. Anna was married and had changed her surname to that of her husband's before her family's surname was changed to Yorgason.

HER OFFSPRING

She married Sondre Ostensen Bakka Sanders aka Sondra Sanders on December 1, 1857, at Salt Lake City, Utah. Three of their children died in infancy: Osten/Austin (1858), Joseph (1862), and Sarah Caroline (1865).

At her death in May 1879, Anna left eight children:

-Anna Matilda Sanders, age 19
-Sondra Sanders Jr., age 18
-Orson Sanders, age 16
-Heber Soren Sanders, age 11
-Peter James Sanders, age 8
-George Albert Sanders, age 5
-Mary Ellen Sanders, age 3
-Harriet Rosalia "Rose" Sanders, age 1 1/2 months

The children were then cared for by the eldest daughter, Anna Matilda Sanders. Even after Anna Matilda Sanders was married in 1881, the youngest child, Rose, was still cared for by her eldest sister.

Anna Joransson Sanders' husband, Sondra, was remarried on December 1, 1881, to a younger woman also named Anna, and he had two more children with his second wife.

The Ward County Independent, Thursday, April 30, 1908; Article #1 dated 04/30/1908, Page 12;
John McJannett Died This Morning

After an illness of seven weeks from tuberculosis, John McJannett, one of Minot's oldest and best beloved citizens died at this home in this city this morning at 10 o'clock. The grim reaper came so quietly and that the sorrowing friends and relatives hardly realized that the spirit had taken its flight until all was over.

The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and will be conducted by the Star in the West lodge, No 33 A.F. and A.M. of which lodge Mr. McJannett was long a member, and one of the most prominent workers. The members of the DeMolay Commandery will act as escort.

The deceased realized for nearly two weeks that his days were numbered, and while he dreaded the thoughts of leaving his loved ones, he became reconciled to his fate and realized that it was the wish of his Master. Mr. McJannett made all of his funeral arrangements to the minutest detail, it being his desire that he should have a Blue Lodge funeral. He asked that his remains lie at his home for two days after death, and then for two days to line in state in the new Masonic Temple, which he dedicated but a few weeks ago acting as Deputy Grand Master. In accordance with this desire, his remains will be taken from his home Saturday morning and to the Temple where they will remain until the funeral hour.

Mr. McJannett desired that James Maxwell of Grafton, an old friend, should prepare his remains for burial.

Mr. Maxwell, President of the Board of Embalming Examiners for North Dakota, W. M. Chandler, President of the North Dakota Undertakers association, will be present at the funeral. It will be remembered that Mr. McJannett was elected vice president of the state association last January.

The funeral will be one of the largest the city has ever known.

Owing to the late hour, we are unable to say much concerning the life of this most worthy citizen this week, but in our next issue will give a complete account of his noble and well spent life.

The Winchester Tragedy - Rev. Mr Rowat and the "Daily News"
The following letter appeared in the GLOBE of Saturday:
"To the Editor of the Globe)
"Sir,
I regret very much that a false impression has been made upon the public mind in some sections in regard to the confession made to me by Clark Brown, the young man who, on the evening of 2nd inst., murdered his father and sister. lIn some of the reports of the terrible tragedy I am represented as having held out to Clark Brown forgiveness from man on condition of his confessing his sin. For example, THE DAILY NEWS (Kingston) has the following in regard to the matter: "Yesterday morning he was visited by the Rev Mr Rowat, Presbyterian minister, who induced him to tell all he knew of the murder, holding out a promise of pardon if he did so. What right Mr Rowat had to hold out a prospect of forgiveness we are at a loss to know, etc.
"Now I emphatically deny having done any such thing, as both constables Ryke and Stalmyre, who were present at the time, will testify. As a minister of the Gospel I had nothing to do with the man's relation to an earthly tribunal. Every word I read and spoke to him, as well as every petition presented to a throne of grace for him, had reference to his relation to a higher tribunal. I cannot understand how an editor with a grain of common sense in him could for one moment think that a minister of the Gospel could be so utterly devoid of every principle of morality as to be guilty of such an action as that attributed to me by the editor of the DAILY NEWS.
Yours truly,
"A. Rowat

West Winchester, Sep 10 1879
"I hope that the DAILY NEWS and all other papers that have helped to give publicity to false statements in regard to the matter, derogatory to my reputation, will immediately correct these by copying the above. A.R.
We cheerfully give Mr Rowat's letter all the prominence he desires. The remarks in the NEWS were based upon the following words contained in the telegraphic despatch announcing Brown's acknowledgment of having committed the crime:
"The Rev. A. Rowat, Presbyterian minister, visited him this morning at six o'clock, and requested him if he had done wrong to confess it openly, holding out the inducement of forgiveness being granted. ?i?Only on that condition?/i?, he made an open confession before the two constables and the Rev. Mr Rowat.
While reading the comments of the NEWS on the case, Mr Rowat could not by any possibility have failed to read the sentence which followed the estract which is contained in his letter to the GLOBE. It was as follows:
"It is possible, however, that the reverend gentleman's promises referred to a court beyond earthly jurisdiction. The probabilities are that had the confession not been exacted in this way, it would have been impossible to bring home the crime to the murdered man's son, as it is not unreasonable to suppose that he would have persisted in declaring his innocence, in which case it would have been a difficult matter to convict him without some positive evidence against him.

When Mr Rowat considers the phraseology of the despatch from which the above extract is taken, he will scarcely wonder that the NEWS comments on the forgiveness question appeared. Our only surprixe is, that he in writing to the GLOBE should deliberately ignore our qualifying remarks in regard to his offer of forgiveness.

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

Robert was imprisoned for in the Stirling castle for speaking out against the queen. He was found innocent and released. Nine weeks of imprisonment, however, was sufficient to fill him with resentment against the injustice meted out to him and to give him the determination to leave this the land of his birth and seek his fortune in a far country.

Historical records indicate that forty-seven men were taken to Stirling Castle, and twenty-four of them were tried and sentenced to death. Based on Archibald's autobiography, Robert must have been one of the men who was released without being tried. Nineteen of the death sentences were commuted, and those men were sent to Botany Bay in Australia.

The Gardner family sailed to Canada where they homesteaded in the area of backwoods of Canada in the Township of Dalhousie, Banthest District, Upper Canada. This was a very poor part of the country consisting of rocky ridges covered with heavy timber mostly hemlock, pine, cedar and some hardwood. Some swamps and mud lakes, and here and there small patch of land that would do to cultivate, after cutting and burning the heavy timber then there was a kind of a thistle that came up among the grain which compelled us to reap it with gloves or mittens on our hands, cradles, reapers, and thrashing machines was not in fashion in that country in those day. And it was hard, cold country to live in.

Robert's son, Archibald, was a young man and was tired of the poor country and started west in search of a better country which he found about 500 miles of in the township of Warwick then known as county of Kent, Western District called Canada West, near the lower end of Lake Huron. He then bought some land claims called W. E. claims that was then in the market, and entered some land and then returned home and soon as it was convenient he and his older brother William started for there new home in the West.

Meantime the rest of the family went to work to clear off another timbered farm the labor was hard they we had to cut down the timber, cut it in about sixteen foot lengths haul it together with oxen, pile it in piles four or five logs high and seven or eight logs wide and set fire to it and burn them up in the summer. Then they had to plant among the stumps which it took years to rout out. There was no prairie's in that country and it took a long time to make a start in a new country in them days. Those who have been raised in the far west has but little knowledge of the labor it took to make a start in the Canada timbered lands, although this was a much better country than the one we first settled in country of Dalhousie.

In the year 1844 that an elder named John Baraman brought the gospel of Jesus Christ to the neighborhood. In the beginning of January 1845 in company with a few Saints the Gardner family went a mile and half into the woods and cut a hole in the ice about 18 inches thick and was there baptized in the township of Brook in a stream called Brown's Creek. Son, Robert Jr., was there baptized by his brother William who had been ordain elder, and he was confirmed by another elder, named Samuel Bolton.

Sister Mary and her husband, Roger Luckham, was the next to be baptized and the family has all joined now but father and he was the first one in the family to believe and said that it was only true church on the earth and when he heard anyone opposing he would stand up for it although he would not be baptized as soon as Robert. He embraced the gospel he had a strong desire to go to Nauvoo to see the apostle and the Saints in their gathering place, a distance of five hundred miles. He left Canada on 1st June, 1845 traveled 30 miles on foot to Port Sarnia, there took steamboat to Chicago and then traveled on foot to Nauvoo a distance 160 miles. He made the trip in two weeks his wife made him a lot of crackers and he put his crackers in a two bushel sack and he traveled on foot. He packed them on his back and the lasted him to Nauvoo. But it was a pretty good day for crackers, better than it was for money.

Robert and his family traveled with the Edward Hunter - Joseph Horne Company (1847)

Robert Sr., Archie and Robert Jr. sowed six acres of wheat and early in the spring of 1848 and moved camp six miles south of Salt Lake on Mill Creek. They moved their saw mill and they rebuilt on Mill Creek and commenced to make lumber and build houses and get them farms.

There was no school in the district for some time, and even when there was, the children were needed on the farm, so they studied at home. One of them, Robert Dick, was later to relate that he began working in the bush with an axe at the age of eight. He studied at night by candlelight and firelight and completed two books of arithmetic, began algebra and geometry and dealt with English grammar and composition. When at the age of 16 he felt a call to the ministry he read books on theology on Sunday. At the age of 18 he went to Smiths Falls to learn Latin and Greek under the tutelage of Rev. Dr. Crawford in order to prepare himself for university entrance. In later years he published a religious journal, The Gospel Tribune.
