951	(Research):Muriel Peppler Letter Lived at Tonawanda NY John Millar changed the spelling of Miller back to Millar when they went to New York. Info sent by Harold Miller, son of George F. Millar N. Townanda NY NS and Barbara Millar, Elma NY, Harold's neice. Apparently Barbara gathered some of her info from Mrs. Horace C. Park of Atikokan ON, a village north of Rainy River ON. She was a grandaughter of John Miller and Margaret Blair. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Miller. Mrs. Park has her grandfather's bible. There is a date 1826 but no reference to its meaning. She stated that John Miller came to Canada in the early 1800s from the vicinity of Glasgow. He married Margaret Blair in Lanark ON. A great deal of information on the girls and their families was gathered by Mrs. Jean Johnson, Prescott ON 1977-78. She is the granddaughter of David and Susan, her parents Ida E. Miller and Robert Innes.	Millar, John (I2563)

Could he have been Margaret's father? James Blair Lanark Society Settler James Blair Society Settler 1820 Anderston and Rutherglen Transatlantic Emigration Society. Located East lot 8 Concession 1 Dalhousie. Weaver. Wife and 4 children. James Blair died before 1834 and his son George inherited the land. James son George Blair 1800 married Jane Jean Bateson 1802. Margaret Kelso Mrs. John Munro ? her niece Janet McDonald married Robert Bateson 1825 and his parents were William Bateson 1804 and Janet Sinclair who in 1851 are living beside George Blair and wife Jean Bateson. Jean Bateson 1802 Blair is sister of William Bateson 1804.

987	(Research):Notes for John Cripps: [barberdodds marilyns.FTW] [Alexander Dodds Jan 2003.ged] The letter from Mr. J. Hedman, the caretaker of the Hillcrest Cemetery in Parry Sound says that John Cripps died, Oc t 11, 1899, age 56, so born about 1843, this however doesn't match the birth date calculated from the 1891census record. Perhaps the caretaker didn't read the information correctly. Perhaps it said that he was born in 1856 rather than being age 56.

988	(Research):Notes for Mary Cranston Dodds: After their marriage in 1849, James and Jane lived with her brother George (then unm) in Oneida Township before moving to Egremont Township in Grey County with their young family in 1857. James by trade was a joiner which helped him build a large dam and water-powered grist mill at the confluence of the two branches of the Beatty-Saugeen River. Known as Dodds Mills, it is about 71/2 miles north of Mount forest, on the east side of the road to Durham. He also built a house and barn of the west side across from the dam and mill. James and Janet farmed and ran the mill until the firm of Smith and Dodds formed, then moved to a new residence near Orchard Mill. Members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, both were active in Church and community affairs.	Dodds, Mary Jane Cranston (I1607)
989	(Research):Notes for Willison Andrew Lambert: [barberhistorymuriels.FTW] After Mary Dodds Lambert passed away. William married Sadie Barber, sister to Mary Barber, Harold McElrath's mother. Willison Andrew Lambert had the reputation that he could take a wild horse from the field and drive him back to the stable. He could break and ride any hourse. From George Lambert... William operated a cotton mill in Mt. Forest. Also in 1878 went to Brandon by train. He supplied the army with dairy products and meat in Riel Rebellion, 1882. He left Quapelle Valley went to Bogey Creek in 1900. He built a home on 2126, then 2136, Angus St., Regina. He moved to Victoria in 1912, transferring $78,000 cash to a bank in Victoria.	Lambert, Willson Andrew (I9633)
990	(Research):Notes from interview with Grandpa (John Cumming) Mather. Grandma (Bella) had a grade 3 education. When she was 12 she was babysitting for income. Her older sister, Elizabeth Ruth, a twin of Bob, died of black diptheria. Two others in the family also died of Diptheria. They lived on the Jack Anderson place (Mary Scott's Grandparents?) on the edge of Fallbrook, ON. They were Baptists (Lanark Congregation). They are buried in the Playfairville cemetery, attended St. Peter's Anglican Church and the Methodist Church later. Telephone call with Gordon Mather December 2015 About 1916 Grandma had a head injury from a hay fork. For the following year they lived with the Mather family on the Cameron farm near Balderson. Her limp was the result of brain damage arising from this accident. In the early 1930's Grandma suffered from blackouts when she would not recognize the children, Gordon and Evelyn(age 9-10). These blackouts led to a month or more in a Kingston hospital for treatment of the head injury. After she passed away, Grandpa was surprised to learn that she still had money invested from her seamstress/tailor days and there was considerable income tax to pay on the amount. She had used war bonds and later government bonds to accumulate this money. Grandma had three years of schooling obtained after a 2 mile walk to the nearest school. As the oldest girl in the family she left school to care for younger children. At approx age of 12 she was hired as a mother's helper by another family - a Mrs. Anderson in Falbrook. At approximately age 14 she moved to Perth where she apprenticed with Mrs. Lyons to gain her sewing skills. She worked for a number of families along the Scotch Line near Perth where she moved from household to household with her sewing machine and equipment/supplies. The Poole family was one of these families. She made clothing for men, women and children. She would piece quilts during the summer and in the winter she would set up a quilt frame in the parlour. She frequently used her 'rag bag' for fabric for these quilts so it is probable that the woolen fabric in the quilts I remember were scraps from her days as a seamstress.	Ashby, Isobella Elsie (I4291)

992	(Research):Notes from talk with Grandpa (John Cummings) Mather: Born at Middleville, ON, on a farm as you drive towards Rosetta. The Mather house was a large square house on the left side of the road near the end of the street as you head towards Herron Mills. His parents originally lived in the kitchen extension and built the main house at a later date. He remembered that his Grandmother would argue about anything! He went to the Middleville school but completed grade 8 from the Lanark Continuation School to which he drove a horse and buggy in to school. There was one telephone in the village - at the general store. He worked with his father when young, loved to play base ball. He was pitcher and his brother Scott was catcher. In 1906-8 he made his first trip to the west. He spent a winter in western Canada working in a meat packing plant in Winnipeg. (Mentioned a Patty Burns). He worked harvest excursions and mentioned the Bullock family at Reston, MB. Their son Clyde was close to his age. He got his engineers papers by studying at night while in Manitoba. He later got his Steam and Hoisting Engineers papers in ON as a result. He kept his licence active until 1927.He married 26 Apr 1916 and went west each year until then. In the summer he ran an 'alligator' on timber drives. J.R. Booth was first employer. He worked in northern Quebec back of Campbell's Bay, Fort Colonge area, the Temiskiming area and south of New Lisgard. He had a high regard for Patty Dillleau. D.A. Gilles often told him "You have an idea, don't be afraid to put it down on paper." Married in 1916 and first lived on Stafford place, at time of interview, the Lenard Munro farm (near Lanark). Past the Davidson, Hedricks, mobile park, then Stafford place. It was small with a well out back. Harry was born here. They were there about 2 years. Had 7 cows and teams of horses. He needed a hernia operation. His father had bought the McIntyre (Harold Cameron) place at Balderson. They moved in with them for a time (about 1 year). At the same time Grandma Mather (Bella) got a hay fork through her finger. (later noted as head - brain injury; Evelyn's small finger damaged in a chain) Moved to a small red brick house at 68 North St. from a Mrs. Drew. John and Evelyn were born there. John in 1919 and Evelyn in Sept 1922. He worked for George Atcheson in his garage 1919-20. Atcheson was also a Dodge Brothers (or Ford) dealer. Then he commuted weekends for a while from Brayside. Moved to Brayside in spring 1923. Noted that they tented for a while at Brayside. Harry started school there. (note: Lillian Grey, possibly his teacher? there). While at Brayside he drove the switching engine , 'the dinky' in the Gilles yard. In 1924 he bought the Keyes place at Balderson and moved from Brayside. Grandpa Mather had held the mortgage and Allan Keyes defaulted so Grandpa took over the farm and the mortgage. There was a barn on the property. It was later raised and a concrete foundation poured. In 1943 the roof was changed. After Harry married he stayed on this farm. He bought the Fisher farm on the 5th line, at time of interview the James place. At first he rented the place but then he had a hired man (Cliff Majoury) living there. It was mainly a dairy farm. Sold it circa 1952. He became Treasurer of Lanark Mutual in 1938 after having served on the Board of Directors for a number of years. He was Councillor and Reeve of Bathurst Twp in the 1930's, Warden of Lanark Cty in 1945. From Gordon Mather December 2015 Grandpa purchased the Fisher farm in 1937 - 95 acres workable. The price - 0 down and $2000 payable in the fall from the last cheese factory milk cheque. Harry and a hired man spent the winter in the bush lot and Gordon (age 10) spent weekends drawing logs to the sawmill. When the family moved to Perth they lived at 15 Clyde St. in the area known as Fairhome Park. The house they purchased was built after WW1. Her doctor was Dr Wichware. Congestive heart failure. Grandpa worked with Kirkham to restore a fixer upper behind the house after he retired from Lanark Mutural at age 70. At one point Grandpa worked as a mechanic at the Atcheson car dealership (Chrysler). GORDON MATHER Tue, Mar 30, 2010, 6:34 PM to me Sorry that we did not get together longer when in Perth but I was travelling on other people's schedule. I had not been east since David's wedding - only more than 25 miles from home once ( to Don Slinger's funeral) since then. Wanted to take as much available time with Harry. Thanks for copying me in on the attachments to your Email. As most of Harry's involvement in community and civic matters took place after I left the area in '45 I found that attachment particularly enlightening and shared it with Rob and Cathy. Now a couple of points. Dad's ownership of the Chaplin farm on #7 was left to him by Grandpa Mather. The acreage on the south side of #7 was left jointly to Uncles Bill and Harold Mather while he left the home in Lanark to Uncle Scott. I believe but am not certain that Grandpa gained possession when he foreclosed a mortgage he held on the Chaplain farm. Re Clyde Street home. The house was bought from a widow (Mrs. Sinclair). Originally the area of Clyde Street and surrounding area was vacant land called Fairholme (sp) Park. When I was growing up Mom showed me a photo of her taken at a baseball diamond which she said was shot in what later became that area so I assume the houses were built up in the booming '20s and not the hungry '30s. Most of the houses on Clyde Street were built with the same floor plans so they were probably by the same developer. One exception was the house immediately west of ours. It was built by a local carpenter - Fred Hanna - your Aunt Ivey's father. You mention that you would like more detail on John. Possibly your best source would be Lorna. Fred still seems to be extrenely busy with his practice. Cathy was telling me that she is active on some committee regarding aging and was surprised in her research to discover that Fred heads up a CMA Group studying the same subject. Re Grandpa Mather and the gold peice: I'm not sure where where Rob got the idea that it was split. The story came to me from Harry Mather (originally from Minn) while sitting in his study in Dunwoody Georgia about 1970. Jean and I were taking Dad with us on his first trip to Florida. He insisted we stop to visit his distant cousin Harry. Harry showed us the coin that Grandpa had given to him in the 1920s while Harry was visiting Grandpa and Grandma Mather in Lanark and relayed the tale of the Indians running off his horses etc. He made the visit because he wanted to meet the man he had been named after. It seems that Harry's father Dudley had been a small boy the winter that Grandpa had worked for Harry's grandfather and had been very impressed by Grandpa. I wrote up the tale as Harry told it and circulated it to family. Then in the late "70s I was in Atlanta attending a Board meeting of FFR Research. I attempted to find Harry but he was no longer in the Atlanta area and I did not followup to see what had happened to him. Cathy and Paul have asked me for my bio. If and when I get it written up I will send you a copy. Right now I am working on Income Tax and preparing a paper that I have agreed to present on Covered Call Stock Options but have added the bio to my "to do" list. I uderstand that you and Don expect to become grandparents this summer. Hope all goes well with you folks. Keep in touch Uncle Gord Grandpa's western harvesting excursions Inbox Diane Duncan Thu, Aug 27, 2009, 9:04 AM Hi, Hope all is well with you and aunt Jean. Don and I got back to AB on the weekend and have settled in near Welling, south of Lethbridge for the final push. I GORDON MATHER Fri, Aug 28, 2009, 2:37 PM to me As I understand it J.C. in his late teens and early 20s went to Resden (Sp?) Manitoba and worked on the harvest with a family named McCullough. Most years he returned east and worked during the winter as a camp clerk with Gillies Bros. The rest of the year he worked with his father on the farm on the 8th line of Bathurst. When I was young that farm was owned by the Cameron Brothers. One winter he stayed in Winnipeg and worked in the Burns Meat plant. I am not sure but think that year he studied up and successfully got a Steam & Hoisting Engineers Certificate. From then on he operated the steam engine powering the McCullough's threshing machine. Summers he operated the Gillies owned steam towboat that hauled log booms across Lake Temiskaming for the various logging companies working in the area. After he married he bought a farm near Lanark just in time for the depression following WW1. After a couple of years he called it quits and used his mechanical skills working for Achison Motors in Perth. Gillies needed someone to run their yard engine at the Braeside mill so he went back with them until he built enough capital in 1924 to buy the farm where I grew up. A lot of detail here that you didn't ask for but I remember as a kid finding a copy of the 1928 renewal of the Steam certificate. I asked him why he kept it renewed after becoming a successful farmer. His response was that there was no guarantee he would be sucessful in his second try at farming so he kept it renewed until he was confident he didn't need it. Your grandma Mather had two brothers who homesteaded in northern Alberta about 1910 They were Archie and Russell Ashby and farmed in the Westlock and Barrhead areas. I never met Russell but visited a couple of times with Archie. Will follow up later Uncle Gordon Diane Duncan Fri, Aug 28, 2009, 2:56 PM to GORDON Thanks muchly! I've been watching my e-mail closely hoping to hear from you. Wow! This is more info than I have ever had! One clarification. You mention the 8th line farm ? was that on the right not far past the village of Balderson ? two story brick? Do you know where the farm near Lanark was? Mom used to say that for a while there was also a farm on the 4th line Bathurst? (the one Carl James ?) was on. Am I remembering this correctly? When did they move to Perth? When did he join Lanark Mutual? When was he on County Council? So much that I have heard and not noted over the years. Did I mention that I now have a computer program that helps to organize pictures and stories to go with the genealogy info and assembles it ready for publication. This is one of my 'retirement' projects. I don't have a lot of written data on the Mather or the Ashby families. Do you know where I might find some of this info? Westlock and Barrhead are north of Alberta so I must note this for the future. How are you and Aunt Jean doing? I know that there has been some rough times for you this past year but haven't had an update for a while.

Any time you are feeling like reminiscing, send something my way! I should also ask you about Grandma Mather and the Clark/Ashby's. It is interesting to note the discrepancies between what Nancy, Ruth and I remember as none of us have written much in the past and of course, Mom is pretty well past providing info. At least the photo albums have names on most photos. Nancy may have made some notes over the past couple of years as she was the only one brave enough to take Mom for rides through the countryside. (Her nurse's training in lifting etc. came to the fore!) We expect to be back east later this fall and I will connect with Bill. I imagine he has an e-mail and I will be able to maintain contact that way once we connect. This summer I have focused on meeting some exhibition commitments with my fibreart so the genealogy took second place. I'm now going to split my time somewhat between it and the 'creative stuff'. After a summer of minimal contact with people outside the harvest crew, we have had back-to-back visitors here in Lethbridge. Thursday night a highschool classmate of Don's was passing through on their way to Calgary and stopped. The wheat field provides lots of parking room now that it is harvested. Just as they were leaving, friends that we met in AZ last winter stopped by on their way to SK and are still here. The last few days have been spent in some sightseeing ? Waterton Park yesterday. By the way, are you able to access the blog?

993	(Research):Notes from Tully file Mary Anne Tulley married Daniel Young. Daniel knew Mary Anne bfore she came with her family to Canada and decided to have her for his wife. However, he didn't come to Canada until 1822 when he was 28 years old. It seems he was not in close enough touch with the family to know their address in Canada so he went to the home of her aunt to get it. The aunt also gave him a parcel which he put in his hand luggage when he sailed. The passage was long and stormy and all cargo except personal baggage was thrown overboard. After days spent in great peril, Canada was finally reached. The parcel that Daniel carried contained a beautiful piece of silk which was made into a wedding dress for Mary Anne Tully.	Young, Daniel (I9697)
994	(Research):Notes from Tully file: Wetheral, Cumberland, England Situated in the Eden 4 miles SE of Carlisle there are ruins of a priory or abbey. William Edward Tully was born at Wetherald Abbey, Wetheral, Cumberland, England William Edward Tully and Olivia Rutledge had three children, William Mary Anne and Hannah. Apparently the estate on which the family lived was to a great extent taken from them as a result of William Tully signing a joint note to help someone. The man could not pay so great-great grandfather lost so much of his property that he sold what was left and came to Canada about 1820. He settled in Perth, Lanark County and in 1845 he died there. Family lore suggested that the The Duke of Cumberland was born at Wetheral Abbey and that he was related. (No relationship has been found). In the Tully history it is recorded that Annie Young has letters that indicate this relationship. Research on the title Duke of Cumberland reveal that the title is extinct and that the original holder and the holder under the first revival of the title died without issue. The third reciprient, Erst August, Crown Prince of Hanover, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, the eldest child and only son of George V of Hanover and his wife Marie of Saxe-Altenburg, senior male-line great grandson of George III, was deprived of his British peerage and honours for siding with Germany in WWI. When King George V died in Paris on 12 June 1878, Prince Ernst August succeeded him as Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale in the Peerage of Great Britain and Earl of Armagh in the Peerage of Ireland. Queen Victoria created him a Knight of the Garter on 1 August 1878. No current heir has petition for reinstatement of the peerage.	Tully, Dr. William Edward Sr. (I9694)

John Millar changed the spelling of Miller back to Millar when they went to New York.
Info sent by Harold Miller, son of George F. Millar N. Townanda NY NS and Barbara Millar, Elma NY, Harold's neice. Apparently
Barbara gathered some of her info from Mrs. Horace C. Park of Atikokan ON, a village north of Rainy River ON. She was a grandaughter of John Miller and Margaret Blair. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Miller. Mrs. Park has her grandfather's bible. There is a date 1826 but no reference to its meaning. She stated that John Miller came to Canada in the early 1800s from the vicinity of Glasgow. He married Margaret Blair in Lanark ON.
A great deal of information on the girls and their families was gathered by Mrs. Jean Johnson, Prescott ON 1977-78. She is the granddaughter of David and Susan, her parents Ida E. Miller and Robert Innes.

Jean Bateson 1802 Blair is sister of William Bateson 1804. Also with them is Isabella Blair born 1773 and so safe bet that Isabella is wife, widow of James Blair Lanark Society Settler dead by 1834 who came out in 1820.

From Ted Miller
George Blair's "other next door neighbour" was now Stewart Miller, his first wife, Jane Ann Elliot, and the first two of their five children, namely Wesley Peter and Annie. This suggests Stewart and his Family left Rawdon Township around 1871, perhaps after the death of his Father, John, in April, 1871, or perhaps after the death of his Mother, Margaret Blair, in September, 1871?

(Research):NB - some have recorded as Thomas P. Poole but found Thomas P. died in Dungarvan, Ireland in 1867
Vol 14, Pg 381, Ireland Civil Registration GS #101583, Folder #4200215, Image 00493, Family Search.org

According to the Irish naming tradition (seems to have been applied in John B's family):
Sarah's mother was ELIZA or ELISA
Sarah's father was HENRY
Sarah's second name or mother's name of choice for baby was MARGARET
Sarah's eldest sister was HARRIET

Thomas's mother was ANNE
Thomas's father was JOHN
Thomas's eldest brother was GEORGE
Thomas's eldest sister was SARAH

Herb Norry:
November 1817, several families, including four Poole families were preparing to leave the following spring for Canada. This took place and one of the Poole families had 11 members. There was a note in my source re staking claims for 50 acres each in Eastern Ontario.

E Miller notes:
George, Thomas, Jacob Poole arrived from Ireland on the 'Atlantic' on 23 June 1819 and on the authority of the commissioner of forces they located 8 Mar 1820 in Drummond. (C 12 L SW 24, NE 24, SW 25). I have determined that it was John who settled on this parcel of land and that Thomas settled on C4 L6

(Research):Notes for John Cripps:

[barberdodds marilyns.FTW] [Alexander Dodds Jan 2003.ged] The letter from Mr. J. Hedman, the caretaker of the Hillcrest Cemetery in Parry Sound says that John Cripps died, Oc t 11, 1899, age 56, so born about 1843, this however doesn't match the birth date calculated from the 1891census record. Perhaps the
caretaker didn't read the information correctly. Perhaps it said that he was born in 1856 rather than being age 56. [jca ]

(Research):Notes for Mary Cranston Dodds:
After their marriage in 1849, James and Jane lived with her brother George (then unm) in Oneida
Township before moving to Egremont Township in Grey County with their young family in 1857.
James by trade was a joiner which helped him build a large dam and water-powered grist mill at
the confluence of the two branches of the Beatty-Saugeen River. Known as Dodds Mills, it is about
71/2 miles north of Mount forest, on the east side of the road to Durham. He also built a house and
barn of the west side across from the dam and mill. James and Janet farmed and ran the mill until
the firm of Smith and Dodds formed, then moved to a new residence near Orchard Mill. Members
of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, both were active in Church and community affairs.

(Research):Notes for Willison Andrew Lambert:
[barberhistorymuriels.FTW]
After Mary Dodds Lambert passed away. William married Sadie Barber, sister to Mary Barber, Harold McElrath's mother.

Willison Andrew Lambert had the reputation that he could take a wild horse from the field and drive him back to the stable. He could break and ride any hourse.

From George Lambert...
William operated a cotton mill in Mt. Forest. Also in 1878 went to Brandon by train. He supplied the army with dairy products and meat in Riel Rebellion, 1882. He left Quapelle Valley went to Bogey Creek in 1900.
He built a home on 2126, then 2136, Angus St., Regina. He moved to Victoria in 1912, transferring $78,000 cash to a bank in Victoria.

(Research):Notes from interview with Grandpa (John Cumming) Mather.

Grandma (Bella) had a grade 3 education. When she was 12 she was babysitting for income. Her older sister, Elizabeth Ruth, a twin of Bob, died of black diptheria. Two others in the family also died of Diptheria. They lived on the Jack Anderson place (Mary Scott's Grandparents?) on the edge of Fallbrook, ON. They were Baptists (Lanark Congregation). They are buried in the Playfairville cemetery, attended St. Peter's Anglican Church and the Methodist Church later.

Telephone call with Gordon Mather December 2015
About 1916 Grandma had a head injury from a hay fork. For the following year they lived with the Mather family on the Cameron farm near Balderson. Her limp was the result of brain damage arising from this accident. In the early 1930's Grandma suffered from blackouts when she would not recognize the children, Gordon and Evelyn(age 9-10). These blackouts led to a month or more in a Kingston hospital for treatment of the head injury.
After she passed away, Grandpa was surprised to learn that she still had money invested from her seamstress/tailor days and there was considerable income tax to pay on the amount. She had used war bonds and later government bonds to accumulate this money.
Grandma had three years of schooling obtained after a 2 mile walk to the nearest school. As the oldest girl in the family she left school to care for younger children. At approx age of 12 she was hired as a mother's helper by another family - a Mrs. Anderson in Falbrook. At approximately age 14 she moved to Perth where she apprenticed with Mrs. Lyons to gain her sewing skills. She worked for a number of families along the Scotch Line near Perth where she moved from household to household with her sewing machine and equipment/supplies. The Poole family was one of these families. She made clothing for men, women and children.
She would piece quilts during the summer and in the winter she would set up a quilt frame in the parlour. She frequently used her 'rag bag' for fabric for these quilts so it is probable that the woolen fabric in the quilts I remember were scraps from her days as a seamstress.

Mason, Robert (I1448)

(Research):Notes from talk with Grandpa (John Cummings) Mather:
Born at Middleville, ON, on a farm as you drive towards Rosetta. The Mather house was a large square house on the left side of the road near the end of the street as you head towards Herron Mills. His parents originally lived in the kitchen extension and built the main house at a later date. He remembered that his Grandmother would argue about anything!
He went to the Middleville school but completed grade 8 from the Lanark Continuation School to which he drove a horse and buggy in to school.
There was one telephone in the village - at the general store.
He worked with his father when young, loved to play base ball. He was pitcher and his brother Scott was catcher.
In 1906-8 he made his first trip to the west. He spent a winter in western Canada working in a meat packing plant in Winnipeg. (Mentioned a Patty Burns). He worked harvest excursions and mentioned the Bullock family at Reston, MB. Their son Clyde was close to his age. He got his engineers papers by studying at night while in Manitoba. He later got his Steam and Hoisting Engineers papers in ON as a result. He kept his licence active until 1927.He married 26 Apr 1916 and went west each year until then.
In the summer he ran an 'alligator' on timber drives. J.R. Booth was first employer. He worked in northern Quebec back of Campbell's Bay, Fort Colonge area, the Temiskiming area and south of New Lisgard. He had a high regard for Patty Dillleau. D.A. Gilles often told him "You have an idea, don't be afraid to put it down on paper."
Married in 1916 and first lived on Stafford place, at time of interview, the Lenard Munro farm (near Lanark). Past the Davidson, Hedricks, mobile park, then Stafford place. It was small with a well out back. Harry was born here. They were there about 2 years. Had 7 cows and teams of horses. He needed a hernia operation. His father had bought the McIntyre (Harold Cameron) place at Balderson. They moved in with them for a time (about 1 year). At the same time Grandma Mather (Bella) got a hay fork through her finger. (later noted as head - brain injury; Evelyn's small finger damaged in a chain)
Moved to a small red brick house at 68 North St. from a Mrs. Drew. John and Evelyn were born there. John in 1919 and Evelyn in Sept 1922. He worked for George Atcheson in his garage 1919-20. Atcheson was also a Dodge Brothers (or Ford) dealer. Then he commuted weekends for a while from Brayside.
Moved to Brayside in spring 1923. Noted that they tented for a while at Brayside. Harry started school there. (note: Lillian Grey, possibly his teacher? there). While at Brayside he drove the switching engine , 'the dinky' in the Gilles yard.
In 1924 he bought the Keyes place at Balderson and moved from Brayside. Grandpa Mather had held the mortgage and Allan Keyes defaulted so Grandpa took over the farm and the mortgage. There was a barn on the property. It was later raised and a concrete foundation poured. In 1943 the roof was changed. After Harry married he stayed on this farm.
He bought the Fisher farm on the 5th line, at time of interview the James place. At first he rented the place but then he had a hired man (Cliff Majoury) living there. It was mainly a dairy farm. Sold it circa 1952.
He became Treasurer of Lanark Mutual in 1938 after having served on the Board of Directors for a number of years. He was Councillor and Reeve of Bathurst Twp in the 1930's, Warden of Lanark Cty in 1945.

From Gordon Mather December 2015
Grandpa purchased the Fisher farm in 1937 - 95 acres workable. The price - 0 down and $2000 payable in the fall from the last cheese factory milk cheque. Harry and a hired man spent the winter in the bush lot and Gordon (age 10) spent weekends drawing logs to the sawmill.
When the family moved to Perth they lived at 15 Clyde St. in the area known as Fairhome Park. The house they purchased was built after WW1.
Her doctor was Dr Wichware. Congestive heart failure.
Grandpa worked with Kirkham to restore a fixer upper behind the house after he retired from Lanark Mutural at age 70.
At one point Grandpa worked as a mechanic at the Atcheson car dealership (Chrysler).

to me

Sorry that we did not get together longer when in Perth but I was travelling on other people's schedule. I had not been east since David's wedding - only more than 25 miles from home once ( to Don Slinger's funeral) since then. Wanted to take as much available time with Harry.

Thanks for copying me in on the attachments to your Email. As most of Harry's involvement in community and civic matters took place after I left the area in '45 I found that attachment particularly enlightening and shared it with Rob and Cathy.

Now a couple of points.

Dad's ownership of the Chaplin farm on #7 was left to him by Grandpa Mather. The acreage on the south side of #7 was left jointly to Uncles Bill and Harold Mather while he left the home in Lanark to Uncle Scott. I believe but am not certain that Grandpa gained possession when he foreclosed a mortgage he held on the Chaplain farm.

Re Clyde Street home.
The house was bought from a widow (Mrs. Sinclair). Originally the area of Clyde Street and surrounding area was vacant land called Fairholme (sp) Park. When I was growing up Mom showed me a photo of her taken at a baseball diamond which she said was shot in what later became that area so I assume the houses were built up in the booming '20s and not the hungry '30s.

Most of the houses on Clyde Street were built with the same floor plans so they were probably by the same developer. One exception was the house immediately west of ours. It was built by a local carpenter - Fred Hanna - your Aunt Ivey's father.

You mention that you would like more detail on John. Possibly your best source would be Lorna. Fred still seems to be extrenely busy with his practice. Cathy was telling me that she is active on some committee regarding aging and was surprised in her research to discover that Fred heads up a CMA Group studying the same subject.

Re Grandpa Mather and the gold peice: I'm not sure where where Rob got the idea that it was split. The story came to me from Harry Mather (originally from Minn) while sitting in his study in Dunwoody Georgia about 1970. Jean and I were taking Dad with us on his first trip to Florida. He insisted we stop to visit his distant cousin Harry. Harry showed us the coin that Grandpa had given to him in the 1920s while Harry was visiting Grandpa and Grandma Mather in Lanark and relayed the tale of the Indians running off his horses etc. He made the visit because he wanted to meet the man he had been named after. It seems that Harry's father Dudley had been a small boy the winter that Grandpa had worked for Harry's grandfather and had been very impressed by Grandpa.

I wrote up the tale as Harry told it and circulated it to family. Then in the late "70s I was in Atlanta attending a Board meeting of FFR Research. I attempted to find Harry but he was no longer in the Atlanta area and I did not followup to see what had happened to him.

Cathy and Paul have asked me for my bio. If and when I get it written up I will send you a copy. Right now I am working on Income Tax and preparing a paper that I have agreed to present on Covered Call Stock Options but have added the bio to my "to do" list.

I uderstand that you and Don expect to become grandparents this summer.
Hope all goes well with you folks.
Keep in touch

to me

As I understand it J.C. in his late teens and early 20s went to Resden (Sp?) Manitoba and worked on the harvest with a family named McCullough. Most years he returned east and worked during the winter as a camp clerk with Gillies Bros. The rest of the year he worked with his father on the farm on the 8th line of Bathurst. When I was young that farm was owned by the Cameron Brothers.

One winter he stayed in Winnipeg and worked in the Burns Meat plant. I am not sure but think that year he studied up and successfully got a Steam & Hoisting Engineers Certificate. From then on he operated the steam engine powering the McCullough's threshing machine. Summers he operated the Gillies owned steam towboat that hauled log booms across Lake Temiskaming for the various logging companies working in the area.

After he married he bought a farm near Lanark just in time for the depression following WW1. After a couple of years he called it quits and used his mechanical skills working for Achison Motors in Perth. Gillies needed someone to run their yard engine at the Braeside mill so he went back with them until he built enough capital in 1924 to buy the farm where I grew up.

A lot of detail here that you didn't ask for but I remember as a kid finding a copy of the 1928 renewal of the Steam certificate. I asked him why he kept it renewed after becoming a successful farmer. His response was that there was no guarantee he would be sucessful in his second try at farming so he kept it renewed until he was confident he didn't need it.

Your grandma Mather had two brothers who homesteaded in northern Alberta about 1910 They were Archie and Russell Ashby and farmed in the Westlock and Barrhead areas. I never met Russell but visited a couple of times with Archie.

Will follow up later

Thanks muchly! I've been watching my e-mail closely hoping to hear from you.

Wow! This is more info than I have ever had! One clarification. You mention the 8th line farm ? was that on the right not far past the village of Balderson ? two story brick? Do you know where the farm near Lanark was? Mom used to say that for a while there was also a farm on the 4th line Bathurst? (the one Carl James ?) was on. Am I remembering this correctly? When did they move to Perth? When did he join Lanark Mutual? When was he on County Council? So much that I have heard and not noted over the years.

Did I mention that I now have a computer program that helps to organize pictures and stories to go with the genealogy info and assembles it ready for publication. This is one of my 'retirement' projects. I don't have a lot of written data on the Mather or the Ashby families. Do you know where I might find some of this info?

Westlock and Barrhead are north of Alberta so I must note this for the future.

How are you and Aunt Jean doing? I know that there has been some rough times for you this past year but haven't had an update for a while.

Love,
Diane

Hi,
Thanks so much. I am going to save your e-mails in the genealogy program and make sure that they are available to others. Any time you are feeling like reminiscing, send something my way! I should also ask you about Grandma Mather and the Clark/Ashby's. It is interesting to note the discrepancies between what Nancy, Ruth and I remember as none of us have written much in the past and of course, Mom is pretty well past providing info. At least the photo albums have names on most photos. Nancy may have made some notes over the past couple of years as she was the only one brave enough to take Mom for rides through the countryside. (Her nurse's training in lifting etc. came to the fore!)

We expect to be back east later this fall and I will connect with Bill. I imagine he has an e-mail and I will be able to maintain contact that way once we connect.

This summer I have focused on meeting some exhibition commitments with my fibreart so the genealogy took second place. I'm now going to split my time somewhat between it and the 'creative stuff'.

After a summer of minimal contact with people outside the harvest crew, we have had back-to-back visitors here in Lethbridge. Thursday night a highschool classmate of Don's was passing through on their way to Calgary and stopped. The wheat field provides lots of parking room now that it is harvested. Just as they were leaving, friends that we met in AZ last winter stopped by on their way to SK and are still here. The last few days have been spent in some sightseeing ? Waterton Park yesterday.

By the way, are you able to access the blog?

Apologies for closing off the last Email so abruptly but I had not watched the time and the supper call had been made the other evening. Also my hands are getting a few shakes so the typing is slow.

(Research):Notes from Tully file
Mary Anne Tulley married Daniel Young. Daniel knew Mary Anne bfore she came with her family to Canada and decided to have her for his wife. However, he didn't come to Canada until 1822 when he was 28 years old. It seems he was not in close enough touch with the family to know their address in Canada so he went to the home of her aunt to get it. The aunt also gave him a parcel which he put in his hand luggage when he sailed. The passage was long and stormy and all cargo except personal baggage was thrown overboard. After days spent in great peril, Canada was finally reached. The parcel that Daniel carried contained a beautiful piece of silk which was made into a wedding dress for Mary Anne Tully.

(Research):Notes from Tully file:
Wetheral, Cumberland, England
Situated in the Eden 4 miles SE of Carlisle there are ruins of a priory or abbey. William Edward Tully was born at Wetherald Abbey, Wetheral, Cumberland, England

William Edward Tully and Olivia Rutledge had three children, William Mary Anne and Hannah. Apparently the estate on which the family lived was to a great extent taken from them as a result of William Tully signing a joint note to help someone. The man could not pay so great-great grandfather lost so much of his property that he sold what was left and came to Canada about 1820. He settled in Perth, Lanark County and in 1845 he died there.

Family lore suggested that the The Duke of Cumberland was born at Wetheral Abbey and that he was related. (No relationship has been found). In the Tully history it is recorded that Annie Young has letters that indicate this relationship.

Research on the title Duke of Cumberland reveal that the title is extinct and that the original holder and the holder under the first revival of the title died without issue. The third reciprient, Erst August, Crown Prince of Hanover, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, the eldest child and only son of George V of Hanover and his wife Marie of Saxe-Altenburg, senior male-line great grandson of George III, was deprived of his British peerage and honours for siding with Germany in WWI.

When King George V died in Paris on 12 June 1878, Prince Ernst August succeeded him as Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale in the Peerage of Great Britain and Earl of Armagh in the Peerage of Ireland. Queen Victoria created him a Knight of the Garter on 1 August 1878.

No current heir has petition for reinstatement of the peerage.

(Research):Notes on Family Search Tree

A note given to my grandfather Wilford Shields from his scottish cousins when he visited them in 1950.
It is written by James Connell, Isobel's great grandson. It stated "I remember getting a half penny from Great grandmother when brother John was a baby. She counted down 4 halfpennys on a chair that stood at the door in Millerstan House and said that is from your great grandmother and I will no be back to see you anymore as I a getting old. She was over 80 to go and had on a black bonnet, black dress and black shawl. They called her great grandmother Bella Blackwood.

After studying out Isabela's information and through prayer and guidance I found Isabela and her family. This took place in the winter and spring of 1995. Found the information in Salt Lake City in May at the family history library but only after alot of study here in Lethbridge at the family history library. !Doc Film # 1041065. It read May 16th William Blackwood in Barfillan Margaret Millar his spouse had a _______ baptized named __________. Apparently the minister couldn't remember the sex or name. But I know that it was Isobel because of an experience I had while studying this family line. !Doc baptism and endowments Logan Temple Record Endowment for the Dead Book F Page 380 #13909. Proxy is Elizabeth Dow Shields. In a letter written by Isobel's grandson James Connel, he said she was referred to as Bell". Name could be spelled in records as Isobel, Isabel, according to how the record keeper thought to spell it.
