| 5757 | Friday April 3, 1903, The Almonte Gazette p.4 The Late Mrs Jas Greig The Gazette last week mentioned the death of Mrs Jas Greig of Carleton Place, which occurred on the 24th of March, and this week is enabled to give some interesting particulars regarding her life. She was born in Paris, France, in 1811. Her father, Mr Thos Mansell, was an English weaver, who went to France about 1801. Son thereafter war arose between England and France, and, with hundreds of other Englishmen, he was made a prisoner at Paris and could not escape. He married the widow of a French officer killed in war, and in 1811 their daughter, the late Mrs Grieg, was born. In 1819 Mr Mansell returned to England and Yorkshire, and here their only son, Mr A.T. Mansell, of Westmeath, now 82 years of age, was born. In 1820 the family came to Canada on the strength of reports sent back from relatives. For four years they lived near Brockville and then settled in Ramsay near Almonte. The father died fifty years ago. The mother some years later. The former was 90 years of age, the latter 75. Mr and Mrs Grieg were married in 1832. He was a native of Clarkmannshire, Scotland. They came to Carleton Place in 1863. for six years Mr Greig operated the grist mill. Then he retired altogether from business life and for many years the two enjoyed unbroken pleasures. The children living are Peter, James, Andrew, Mrs Jas Cram, Alfred, Mrs John Donaldson, Robert and Christena. The dead are John, Mrs Templeton and Thomas. All the children were present at dinner on the day of the funeral, Robert and James coming from far western States and Mrs Cram from Pilot Mound. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, interment being made in the family plot in the 8th line Ramsay cemetery, quite a number going from Almonte to join the cortege, some at Carleton Place and others as it neared the cemetery. Five sons and her son-in-law, Mr Donaldson, were the pall-bearers | Mansell, Josephine Frances (I45929)

| 5765 | From 1905 on, Jefferson County, Oregon made many changes. Rumors of a railroad were in the air. W.C. Barber, along with J.C. Cockerham and Harold Lawrie saw the need for a townsite. So they platted Culver in the heart of this lovely valley, on land that was Dan Swift's homestead. With the coming of the railroad, Culver became a thriving little town with the post office, school, two churches, two hotels, two general merchandising stores, a drug store, a weekly newspaper, a lumber yard, and a grain warehouse. The depot was a busy place every evening when the populace all turned out to watch the mail and passenger train arrive. Passenger trains didn't arrive until April 15, 1911. | Barber, William Chancey (I12697)

| 5768 | From a Jamestown, ND Newspaper W.C. McCAULEY DIES IN DEVILS LAKE W.C. McCauley, former Jamestown resident, died Monday morning at Devils Lake, after a three years' illness. Mr. McCauley, in the automobile business in that city for a number of years, retired three years ago because of ill health. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon in that city with burial there. Mr. McCauley is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Margaret Hood of this city; a daughter, Miss Mary Lou McCauley of San Diego, Calif.; a brother in Devils Lake and two sisters. Mrs. McCauley, her sister, Miss Martha Hood, and Mrs. Coleman were in the city Tuesday night to meet Miss McCauley, who came by plane from San Diego, where she has a government position. William first married at age 23. His first wife was Clara Arnstad, who he married Sep. 12, 1906 in a double wedding ceremony (with his sister Eva Jeanette) at his parent's home. A son, William Delbert, was born to them in June of 1907. William has a World War I Draft Registration Card dated 9/9/1918 (C-33-1-2), where his occupation is listed as a traveling salesman. Other information on the card lists his age as 35, his build as medium, and his eyes and hair were both brown. Clara McCauley is listed on the card as a contact living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It isn't known if William went to war, because men between certain ages were required to register, but some of them never actually went into the military. William and Clara are listed as living together in Hennepin County, Minnesota on the 1920 US census, but sometime after that the couple divorced and William eventually moved to Jamestown, ND. It is not known where the divorce took place. Clara relocated to California. On August 1, 1925, William married Margaret Janet Hood. Margaret was the daughter of Andrew Hood and Ann Scott. She was born May 29, 1886. Margaret had moved down from Huron County, Ontario to Devils Lake, Ramsey County, ND with her family in September 1902. Her parents had alredy sold their farm in Howick Twp, Huron County. After living for one year in Devils Lake, Margaret moved to Jamestown where she eventually met William. A daughter, Mary Louise ("Mary Lou"), was adopted by the couple. About 5-6 years after the adoption, the family moved back to Devils Lake where William bought into the Lake Motor Service, an automobile business. William was to live the rest of his life in Devils Lake. William died on July 12, 1948 at the age of 65. His death certificate lists his cause of death as acute myocardites. | McCauley, William Clifton (I39555)

TULLIALLAN, Perthshire "TULLIALLAN, parish, containing Kincardine town, on the Forth, in a detached district of Perthshire. Its length is about 2 3/4 miles; its breadth nearly 2 1/2 miles; its area 3586 acres. Real property in 1880-81, ?9120. Pop. 2199. The land contains part of a gentle broad-based hill, but mostly slopes gently from northern boundary to the Forth, and comprises a valuable tract, reclaimed and embanked from the tide. Coal and ironstone are plentiful. The chief seat is Tulliallan Castle; and the chief antiquities are the ruined old Tulliallan Castle, and the old church at Overtown. The present churches are Established, Free, and United Presbyterian, and the public schools are 2, with about 251 scholars." An earlier structure about a half mile NW, Old Tulliallan Castle, was built by 1304, when it was ordered to be strengthened by Edward I of England, it then passed into the ownership of William Douglas first Earl of Douglas, and was granted by the Douglases to the Edmonstones,and thence to a junior branch of the Blackadders , and finally to the Bruces of Carnock. A fortified house with a keep and rib- vaulted ground floor, it was abandoned in the seventeenth century. The Earl Lord Douglas - the Douglas estates of his father lay in some of the staunchest Presbyterian, covenanting territory in Scotland , and his tenantry were not at all amenable to King James ( James II of England , James VII of Scotland ), a Catholic. This Regiment, the Cameronian's, one of the oldest in the British Army - was also the personal Regiment of The Baron, the Earl Lord Dalhousie, Governor General of the Province of Canada in Europe. Earl Lord Dalhousie was Lt. Colonel of the Cameronian's. | Baird, James (I4967)

Deceased was born near the beautiful glen of Lochearnhead, Perthshire, Scotland, in the year 1803. He spent some few years amongst the heather on the hills of his native land as a shepherd, and in the year 1831 emigrated with his wife to Canada, settling on the farm now occupied by Mr. Archibald McTavish, Drummond, where he lived 19 years. In 1850 he moved to his late home in Bathurst, where he spent the remainder of his life, esteemed and respected by all. Being physically a strong man and endowed with the energy and perseverance characteristic of his nationality, he succeeded in a marked degree in his pioneering work of making a comfortable home in the then backwoods of Canada. He was the eldest and last to survive of five brothers. Three sisters, Mrs. D. McNee, Iowa; Mrs. D. J. Campbell, Drummond, and Mrs. John A. Fraser, of this town, still survive him. Those of his family who are still living are, Mrs. Ainsley Keyes, Wilson st., Miss Lizzie C. and John P., on the homestead, and Peter, on his farm adjoining. The funeral obsequies took place on Friday, the 11th inst., at 1 p.m., Rev. J. S. Mellraith officiating. The line of carriages which followed the remains of the departed to Elmwood cemetery was fully a mile in length, and testified in some degree to the esteem in which he was held. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and in politics upheld the principles advocated by the Liberal party." | McIntyre, Peter (I54137)

| 5789 | from Family Search: Mungo Boyle (LH26-FXG) An article written by a Mr C.M. Forbes and published in the Perth Courier 15 Dec 1905 through 9 February 1906 (transcribed by C. Dobie) records that a Robert Boyle was one of the founding members of the management committee of the Lanark Agricultural Society when it was formed in 1850. The whole family (with the exemption of William) appear to have taken ship from London for Brisbane AU on the 'Golden City' on 23 Oct 1865, arriving in Australia on 5 Feb 1866. The shipping records relating o the 'Golden City' seems to indicae that the brothers John (Margaret), Robert (Elizabeth) and David (Nancy Agnes Jameson) brought wives with them from Canada. It appears that the daughters Kate (Katharine/Catharine) and May (Mary) married in Australia. They took up agricultural land near Ipswich, Queensland, AU, where they built a small cottage called 'Kelvin Grove' (harking back no doubt to the Kelvin River of Robert Hendry Boyles's Scottish origins). Most of the cottage still stands, although nearly derelict since a fire in about 2000. From a Harrisville Local History Robert Hendry Boyle born in 1793 (1795?) at Campsie Scotland and his wife Janet Miller, born in 1808 (1802?) and their eight adult children and their families came to Queensland from Scotland via Canada arriving in the 1860s. Robert and Janet 'took up' 120 acres of land, part of the 11,000 acres that made up the Ipswich Reserve, calling their property 'Kelvin Grove' after their home in Scotland. Other members of the family 'took up' parcels of land near by. In 1872, Robert gave an acre of his land for the Hillgrove School. The family grew cotton until the 1880s and for a while tried flax. Robert and Janet are both buried at the Harrisville cemetery. | Boyle, Robert Hendry (I21)

| 5790 | from Family Search: Mungo Boyle (LH26-FXG) Mungo Alexander Boyle was remembered in an article published in a local Australian newspaper in 1931 as having an injured foot 'through having chopped it while falling scrub in Canada'. (actually in Queensland) The father died at Ipswich. He came from Canada with his brothers James, Robert, John and Munga. The latter had an injured foot. The other brothers were pioneers of Harrisville district and lived long and useful lives. He was a great friend of John Hooper, father of Mrs. E. McLean of Boonah and May who married John Vardon, a selector of Milora. From a Harrisville Local History Their youngest son, Mungo and his wife Sarah Watson, an Irish lass, continued to farm at Kelvin Grove and reared eleven children there. Their children married members of other pioneering families and have been a part of the history of Harrisville. Ernest, Harriet and Olive remained single and llived at Kelvin Grove till their deaths. They were involved in the local church, School of Arts and other organizations. Mary, Mungo and John Mason Miller are the only family members mentioned in John's letters in 1870 to his twin brother Andrew Burns Miller. | Boyle, Mungo Alexander (I2087)

| 5797 | From IDFG #209955846 Burial Details Unknown. Specifically: We can't not determine where John McDonald and his wife Sarah McNeil are actually buried. The old records of Playfairville Cemetery and of Highland Line Cemetery will be searched . John McDonald who was a junior officer in the 104th Regiment under Lt.Col. Andrew William Playfair, took up land the same time as Colonel Playfair near Playfairville, Lanark, County, Ontario. Came to Canada in 1815 from Scotland, was in War of 1812. John settled on Basturst (Bathurst) Twp. Con 12, Lot 20, 80 Acres, Lanark County, Ontario. GPS Co-ordinates: Lat 44.9623? N, Lon 76.4189? W. We are not 100% sure when John McDonald died, in Canada 1871 Census, he is living with his wife Sarah(McNeil) on the farm near Playfairville, Ontario, his son Hugh and family live on the farm beside his parents. In 1881 Canada Census, his wife Sarah (McNeil) is now a widow living on the same farm next to son Hugh McDonald and family. Therefore John died sometime between 1871 and 1881 Census times. I search all Lanark County death records in that time frame and found a Death Record for a John McDonald age 82 years that died on 30 July 1877 in Bathurst Twp., registered by son John McDonald that was a Roman Catholic BUT the birthplace stated was New Brunswick NOT Scotland. I did an 1871 Census search for any John McDonald that would match the age and live in Bathurst Twp. and the only one the the John McDonald married to Sarah (McNeil) that live near Playfairville, Ontario. Therefore except for the birthplace being New Brunswick this death record matches the above John McDonald as his son John McDonald had married Maria Rogers and had become a Roman Catholic as indicated in 1881 Census of Canada. | McDonald, John (I54349)

| 5798 | from Jean McGill, pg 55 - When John MacTaggart visited Perth in the late 1820's he sampled "a whiskey made after the Glenlivet mode by Mr Ferguson (John Ferguson, Jr.) of Foster Street called Craigdarroch of Perth. The flavour is very good: it is by far the most excellent spirit distilled in this country... A distillery is a thing quite indispensable so that raw grain whiskey may be produced at a couple of shillings per gallon, the flavour of which is qualified by frosty potatoes and yellow pumpkins. Such aqua is extremely delicious, and those who know what Glenlivet is may, perhaps, touch it with a long stick confining their nostrils at the same time...." | Ferguson, John "Craig Darroch" (I13720)
