4823	F.A. Muilher Accidently Killed Clothing Caught in Shaft at J.K. Allan's Grist Mill A sad tragedy occurred at Mr. J.K. Allan's Grist Mill, Allan's Mills, on the Scotch Line, six miles from Perth, on Saturday morning, December 29th, resulting in the instaant death of Francis Alber Muilher, employed by Mr. Allan. The unfortunate man went down stairs to look at something and as he failed to return, Mr. Wm Ferrier went down to locate him and found him lying under a shaft, his clothes having been caught on a set of screws. He was slightly bruised on the temples. He was not working in the basement, and was only gone about fifteen minutes from the time Mr Allan last saw him. He was engaged running the chopper when he left to go down to the basement. Coroner Dr. A.W. Dwyre was notified, and motored to the mill to view the body, and on finding that the man met death through an accident decided that an inquest would be unnecessary. Deceased was 33 years of age, and a native of Germany. He was an expert miller and millright. He was held in the highest esteem for his honesty, uprightness of character and likeable disposition by all who knew him and particularly so by his employer, Mr Allan. He was married to Miss Anna Blackburn, daughter of Mr. Alfred Blackburn and is survived by her and an infant son. The funeral was held on Monday aternoon from the residence of Mr Alfred Blackburn, Bathurst Township to Elmwood Cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev.

Fasyd [spelled thus] is marked on Timothy Pont's map of the Baronee of Renfrew in 1590. In 1909 Sir Wallace Fairweather purchased the Fa'side property from the Raeside family and in 1911 other adjacent lands from Sir Michael Shaw Stewart.He commissioned the architectural firm of Burnet and Boston to build Fa'side House. The 1709 buildings still stand alongside the 1911 house, built to resemble a traditional Scottish keep.	Pollock, Allan of Fa'side House (I38020)
4825	Facts about Joshua Adams Joshua Adams moved with parents and dependents of expired siblings moved from Rutland, Vermont, USA to Bastard, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada in 1798. Joshua married wife Elizabeth Chipman, daughter of Barnabas Lathrop Chipman, on 15 March 1803 in Elizabeth Township. Elizabeth Chipman's family had moved to Bastard, Ontario from Salsbury, Vermont in 1795, shortly prior to the Adams family arriving in the area. Elizabeth Chipman Adams was a direct descendent of Mayflower Pilgrim John Howland. During the War of 1812, Joshua was commissioned as a Captain and served as Adjuvant to the Leeds Militia under Colonel Stone. Joshua was given 800 acres of land for his service to the Crown. During the War, he had moved his family from Bastard to Stone Mills (now Delta). They returned to Bastard at the end of the War in 1815. In 1817, the family moved to Perth, Lanark County where they lived for three years. Next, they moved to an area long the River Tay in which a village arose called Adamsville. This name was eventually changed to Glen Tay. Joshua and Elizabeth lived there for the remainder of their lives. Despite no formal education, Joshua was able to attain a number of avlued positions in the community such as Justice of the Peace, Township Councillor, Warden of the County and periodically, he also acted as an Associate Judge. Joshua also remained quite active in the Methodist Church having served as a Trustee and Steward. Elizabeth Chipman died on 29 Feb 1856 at age 70 after an illness of three weeks duration. Joshua Adams died on 23 April 1863 after a fall in the home of his son-in-law, Henry Moorhouse. His last words to his family were, "All is well. I am going home." The couple had 13 children. Source: Recollections of Alvah Adams in 1880, http://luv2code.com/adams.pdf These are excerpts regarding the family of Capt Joshua Adams from Pioneer History of the County of Lanark (Ontario, Canada) by JS McGill, 1979. I thank Mark Johnson for his look-up. If there are copyright issues, please contact me and I will remove the post. P21: Captain Joshua Adams who was one of the first to draw a town lot of one acre in Perth, in 1820 fell heir to the mills of Parsall who had died. (Abraham Parsall, a Loyalist, settled along the Tay River on Lot 20, Concession 4 of Bathurst and here erected grist and saw mills.) Adams then moved from Perth and established further enterprises on the Tay, the result of which was the village of Adamsville (now Glen Tay). PP46-47: In December 1817 a Methodist minister from the Rideau circuit, one Brown, arrived to look the military settlement over. He held his services in Joshua Adam's house. Mr. Bell wryly commented in his Journals that he was told by one present that "in his prayer, he [Brown] fervently gave God thanks that through his agency the gospel had at length had been brought to the settlement." The fervor of the Methodists evidently found a responsive note in Joshua Adams who supported them faithfully after this initial visit; his son Ava later became a Methodist preacher, and his eldest daughter Beulah married the Methodist circuit-rider John Carroll. Alex Richey, writing to the Perth Courier in 1911, recalled the Adams family with affection: The first time I remember the Adams was when I went to school in 1833....They were all very kind to me, just a new boy from Lanark Village. The Captain boarded most of his men, and he had a number of them too, in the sawmill, flour mill, oat mill, carding and fulling mill; men working on the farm and teamsters hauling lumber to town. The oldest son was a Methodist minister, Rev. Ava Adams, who afterwards had mills in the Fall River. Asa and Bernard the next two oldest sons, went in in 1844. The oldest daughter, Beulah, married Rev. John Carroll. Elizabeth married Henry Moorehouse, a useful citizen of your good town for many years, Lucinda married a son of Barbara Heck. The youngest daughter married Rev. Armstrong. Daniel and Franklyn worked in one of the mills and Joshua became a lawyer in Perth. The Captain and his wife were the living embodiment of charity and goodwill. There were a number of Indians about the headwaters of the Tay River at that time. They went down to the Lake of Two Mountains every spring to sell their furs. In the fall they returned to their various hunting grounds. They passed our place with seven or eight canoes one fall, loaded with their families and goods, a Union Jack at the bow and stern of each canoe....When the Indians got as far as the Captain's he was on the watch for them for they most always had a white child picked up in some way or given to them by some unfortunate mother. The Captain saved several and brought them up to be cared for as one of the family. The Captain, I believe, was of the same family that gave two presidents to the United States, John Adams, second president, and John Quincy Adams, his son, sixth president. The Captain died about 1856 or 1857. He was one of nature's noble men. P50: On the 21st of June 1819 the Duke of Richmond, accompanied by his two sons, three daughters, and attendants, set out from Quebec City aboard a steamer to visit the new military settlements at Richmond and Perth. Colonel Cockburn, one of the party, hurried on ahead from Sorel where the Duke's party remained for some days. It was his intention to investigate the activities of Daverne at Perth before the Duke arrived. When he reached Perth he appointed Joshua Adams, Dr. Thom, Captains McMillan and Taylor, and Mr. Bell to form a Court of Inquiry. It was soon discovered that Daverne had embezzled the government stores to a large amount. P54: In 1820-21 the only licensed innkeepers from the Perth Military settlement were: Joshua Adams, Angus Cameron, Wellesley Ritchie, John Adamson, John Balderson, Joseph Legary, and William Blair.

The funeral started from his residence in Adamsville, where his remains had been removed, and was joined at the late residence of Captain Leslie (?), by the volunteer companies of Perth, and a large number of citizens, ranking one of the largest funeral processions of Perth. The volunteers took the lead in the procession, Captain Fraser's Company reversing arms, and the whole proceeded to the Wesleyan Burying Grounds, where after the funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Ross, three volleys were fired in his memory by the firing party. The deceased Captain was a gentleman very much respected and esteemed by all who knew him and especially by the poorer classes whom he materially assisted as far as he was able, in the hard times some years ago. He died at the advanced age of 84 years. The Family of the Late Joshua Adams, J.P., late of Glen Tay, near Perth. Drawn up by his son, Rev.

4826	FAG Lucky was born and raised in Carleton Place and was one of the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde McIlquham who owned the Mississippi Hotel. He was survived by wife Oda and his 3 year-old daughter Ruth and two brothers Walter and Gilmour who were residing at the Mississippi Hotel. How ironic and sad was it that Lucky had died in 7 feet of water on a sunny January day in Carleton Place instead of that day flying into battle in Cologne. Every time I stand at the old dock of Lake Park Lodge it will now have more meaning. In memory of Thoams "Lucky" Oswald McIllquham. Another resident to be remembered today.

Excerpts from the obituary of Andrew's daughter, Margaret, in reference to her father:

He was a typical Scot, God-fearing, authoritative, canny, practical, economical, successful, tall and bearded. Whether as carpenter, storekeeper, farmer, or private teacher, he was financially successful.

Her father held that a man who could not secure a competency by the time he was 60 was a failure.

F.A. Muilher Accidently Killed
Clothing Caught in Shaft at J.K. Allan's Grist Mill
A sad tragedy occurred at Mr. J.K. Allan's Grist Mill, Allan's Mills, on the Scotch Line, six miles from Perth, on Saturday morning, December 29th, resulting in the instaant death of Francis Alber Muilher, employed by Mr. Allan. The unfortunate man went down stairs to look at something and as he failed to return, Mr. Wm Ferrier went down to locate him and found him lying under a shaft, his clothes having been caught on a set of screws.

He was slightly bruised on the temples. He was not working in the basement, and was only gone about fifteen minutes from the time Mr Allan last saw him. He was engaged running the chopper when he left to go down to the basement.

Coroner Dr. A.W. Dwyre was notified, and motored to the mill to view the body, and on finding that the man met death through an accident decided that an inquest would be unnecessary.

Deceased was 33 years of age, and a native of Germany. He was an expert miller and millright. He was held in the highest esteem for his honesty, uprightness of character and likeable disposition by all who knew him and particularly so by his employer, Mr Allan.

He was married to Miss Anna Blackburn, daughter of Mr. Alfred Blackburn and is survived by her and an infant son.

The funeral was held on Monday aternoon from the residence of Mr Alfred Blackburn, Bathurst Township to Elmwood Cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Adamson, minister of Calvin United Church of which deceased was a member. The pallbearers were Messrs J. Palmer, W. Munroe, R. Palmer, C. Fyfe, H. Stewart, and A. Blackburn.

Fa'side House
John Pollok of Craigton purchased the property in 1707 and built a farm house and outbuildings in 1709. Fasyd [spelled thus] is marked on Timothy Pont's map of the Baronee of Renfrew in 1590.

In 1909 Sir Wallace Fairweather purchased the Fa'side property from the Raeside family and in 1911 other adjacent lands from Sir Michael Shaw Stewart.He commissioned the architectural firm of Burnet and Boston to build Fa'side House.

The 1709 buildings still stand alongside the 1911 house, built to resemble a traditional Scottish keep.

Facts about Joshua Adams
Joshua Adams moved with parents and dependents of expired siblings moved from Rutland, Vermont, USA to Bastard, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada in 1798.
Joshua married wife Elizabeth Chipman, daughter of Barnabas Lathrop Chipman, on 15 March 1803 in Elizabeth Township. Elizabeth Chipman's family had moved to Bastard, Ontario from Salsbury, Vermont in 1795, shortly prior to the Adams family arriving in the area. Elizabeth Chipman Adams was a direct descendent of Mayflower Pilgrim John Howland.
During the War of 1812, Joshua was commissioned as a Captain and served as Adjuvant to the Leeds Militia under Colonel Stone. Joshua was given 800 acres of land for his service to the Crown. During the War, he had moved his family from Bastard to Stone Mills (now Delta). They returned to Bastard at the end of the War in 1815.
In 1817, the family moved to Perth, Lanark County where they lived for three years. Next, they moved to an area long the River Tay in which a village arose called Adamsville. This name was eventually changed to Glen Tay. Joshua and Elizabeth lived there for the remainder of their lives.
Despite no formal education, Joshua was able to attain a number of avlued positions in the community such as Justice of the Peace, Township Councillor, Warden of the County and periodically, he also acted as an Associate Judge. Joshua also remained quite active in the Methodist Church having served as a Trustee and Steward.
Elizabeth Chipman died on 29 Feb 1856 at age 70 after an illness of three weeks duration. Joshua Adams died on 23 April 1863 after a fall in the home of his son-in-law, Henry Moorhouse. His last words to his family were, "All is well. I am going home." The couple had 13 children.

These are excerpts regarding the family of Capt Joshua Adams from Pioneer History of the County of Lanark (Ontario, Canada) by JS McGill, 1979. I thank Mark Johnson for his look-up. If there are copyright issues, please contact me and I will remove the post.
P21:
Captain Joshua Adams who was one of the first to draw a town lot of one acre in Perth, in 1820 fell heir to the mills of Parsall who had died. (Abraham Parsall, a Loyalist, settled along the Tay River on Lot 20, Concession 4 of Bathurst and here erected grist and saw mills.) Adams then moved from Perth and established further enterprises on the Tay, the result of which was the village of Adamsville (now Glen Tay).

PP46-47:
In December 1817 a Methodist minister from the Rideau circuit, one Brown, arrived to look the military settlement over. He held his services in Joshua Adam's house. Mr. Bell wryly commented in his Journals that he was told by one present that "in his prayer, he [Brown] fervently gave God thanks that through his agency the gospel had at length had been brought to the settlement."

The fervor of the Methodists evidently found a responsive note in Joshua Adams who supported them faithfully after this initial visit; his son Ava later became a Methodist preacher, and his eldest daughter Beulah married the Methodist circuit-rider John Carroll. Alex Richey, writing to the Perth Courier in 1911, recalled the Adams family with affection:

The first time I remember the Adams was when I went to school in 1833....They were all very kind to me, just a new boy from Lanark Village. The Captain boarded most of his men, and he had a number of them too, in the sawmill, flour mill, oat mill, carding and fulling mill; men working on the farm and teamsters hauling lumber to town. The oldest son was a Methodist minister, Rev. Ava Adams, who afterwards had mills in the Fall River. Asa and Bernard the next two oldest sons, went in in 1844. The oldest daughter, Beulah, married Rev. John Carroll. Elizabeth married Henry Moorehouse, a useful citizen of your good town for many years, Lucinda married a son of Barbara Heck. The youngest daughter married Rev. Armstrong. Daniel and Franklyn worked in one of the mills and Joshua became a lawyer in Perth.

The Captain and his wife were the living embodiment of charity and goodwill. There were a number of Indians about the headwaters of the Tay River at that time. They went down to the Lake of Two Mountains every spring to sell their furs. In the fall they returned to their various hunting grounds. They passed our place with seven or eight canoes one fall, loaded with their families and goods, a Union Jack at the bow and stern of each canoe....When the Indians got as far as the Captain's he was on the watch for them for they most always had a white child picked up in some way or given to them by some unfortunate mother. The Captain saved several and brought them up to be cared for as one of the family. The Captain, I believe, was of the same family that gave two presidents to the United States, John Adams, second president, and John Quincy Adams, his son, sixth president. The Captain died about 1856 or 1857. He was one of nature's noble men.

P50:
On the 21st of June 1819 the Duke of Richmond, accompanied by his two sons, three daughters, and attendants, set out from Quebec City aboard a steamer to visit the new military settlements at Richmond and Perth. Colonel Cockburn, one of the party, hurried on ahead from Sorel where the Duke's party remained for some days. It was his intention to investigate the activities of Daverne at Perth before the Duke arrived. When he reached Perth he appointed Joshua Adams, Dr. Thom, Captains McMillan and Taylor, and Mr. Bell to form a Court of Inquiry.

It was soon discovered that Daverne had embezzled the government stores to a large amount.

P54:
In 1820-21 the only licensed innkeepers from the Perth Military settlement were: Joshua Adams, Angus Cameron, Wellesley Ritchie, John Adamson, John Balderson, Joseph Legary, and William Blair.

ADAMS.--We have to record the death of Captain J. Adams, who expired on Tuesday the 13th last, at the house of his son-in-law, Lt. Morehouse, Esq., Perth, from the effects of an accident. The funeral started from his residence in Adamsville, where his remains had been removed, and was joined at the late residence of Captain Leslie (?), by the volunteer companies of Perth, and a large number of citizens, ranking one of the largest funeral processions of Perth. The volunteers took the lead in the procession, Captain Fraser's Company reversing arms, and the whole proceeded to the Wesleyan Burying Grounds, where after the funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Ross, three volleys were fired in his memory by the firing party. The deceased Captain was a gentleman very much respected and esteemed by all who knew him and especially by the poorer classes whom he materially assisted as far as he was able, in the hard times some years ago. He died at the advanced age of 84 years.

Lucky was born and raised in Carleton Place and was one of the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde McIlquham who owned the Mississippi Hotel. He was survived by wife Oda and his 3 year-old daughter Ruth and two brothers Walter and Gilmour who were residing at the Mississippi Hotel.
How ironic and sad was it that Lucky had died in 7 feet of water on a sunny January day in Carleton Place instead of that day flying into battle in Cologne. Every time I stand at the old dock of Lake Park Lodge it will now have more meaning.
In memory of Thoams "Lucky" Oswald McIllquham. Another resident to be remembered today.
