| 4005 | Following are excerpts from an Essay written by Colin MacMillan as a Grade 5 project in 1979, called "A Builder In Wellington County". The complete Essay is available at the Wellington County Archives - Ralph attended the one-roomed Farewell School and the Mount Forest High School. He went on to attend the Business College in Orangeville. "After school he went to Toronto to get a job with his secretarial training. It was depression time and he walked the streets of Toronto for one week. He finally got a job as relief secretary in a chocolate factory for 3 weeks." Soon after, he returned to Farewell. "The next few years brought many types of jobs. At $2.50/day, he fired a steam engine for a company and threshed for 7 seasons. Then he and his brothers in partnership owned and operated a threshing machine for 4-5 years. They also jointly owned a sawmill near Farewell. Ralph's interest in building was partly inherited from his Uncles, one was a carpenter who built the Anglican Church in Farewell and another was a barn framer. Ralph's father also enjoyed repairing things around the farm. His brothers were interested in building too. Harry was a barn framer while Morrison dug wells." - Ralph's career as a carpenter began in November 1946, just after his marriage to Mabel Kirkpatrick -c1952 he started his own business and was involved in building/remodelling many businesses and schools in the area. - he was also Clerk Treasurer for Arthur Twp for 36 years | ALLEN, Ralph Bertram (I3973)

The late Mrs. Woodhouse, eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Addison, was born at Silver Water, Ontario, on May 19, 1902. Twenty seven years ago she was united in marriage to Roy Woodhouse of Dean Lake, living there for one year before coming to Parry Sound, where she spent the remainder of her life. Entering the teaching profession in 1919, she taught school in Northern Ontario till she married. Re-entering the profession in 1942 she taught school in Foley township until her death. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C.H.G. Peto from Trinity Anglican Church on February 19. Interment followed in Hillcrest cemetery. Those left to mourn her loss are her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Walter McKinnon, (Aileen); one son, Bert; two sisters, Mrs. S. Cull of Toronto and Mrs. E. Forester of Silver Water, and two brothers, Edgar and Jack Addison, of Silver Water. The pallbearers were Wynne Ritchie, Stanley Tonkin, Frank Peachey, Roger Alexander, Robert Ramsay and Charles McAlister. Dorothy Hopkins Addison Scrapbook, transcribed by Marilyn Irish: Appreciation Resident of Foley Township were deeply shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. Roy Woodhouse on Tuesday evening. Mrs. Woodhouse taught school here for several years at the old No. 2 and recently at the new consolidated school at Otter Lake. Although she was not a resident of this township, she played a very conspicuous part in the community life here, and made a host of friends. She gave unselfishly of her time and talent to further the interests of our children, and the community in general, and many times appeared on the scene when she did not feel fit. Her passing leaves a gap that will require some time and effort to fill. We of this township owe a debt of gratitude to her memory and wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to her relatives and friends, who also must feel a great loss. Ivan Ferris. | ADDISON, May Elizabeth (I588)

| 4016 | From 'From Then Till Now-A History of Arthur Township' Mr. John [E.] Allen and his brother [Alfred] owned 100 acres, S1/2 of Lot 12 [Conc 11]. In the early 1900's they bought 200 acres adjoining their farm to the north from Mr. James McLellan and son. A frame barn was built in 1906. When John Allen died in 1935, and Alfred in 1936, 150 acres went to John's son, Harry and 150 acres to another son Morrison (Mott) N1/4, Lot 12, and S1/2, Lot 11. Morrison moved a house from the front of Harry's farm, which had been the home of William Morrison, a shoemaker. Morrison Chester was the 2nd son of John & Sarah and was born in 1905 and was destined to marry the neighbour's daughter, Mitcha Edna Morrison. Morrison was fondly known to everyone as "Mott". Mott initially was a farmer, however in his lifetime he ware many hats. In the dirty 30's he made tile for Arthur Twp. From this beginning he made much larger molds which he used for his well digging business. He also operated the Syndicate Threshing Machine powered by steam and in later years was driven by the famous green machine - Oliver 99. Another enterprise of this time was offering the services of Diamond, the Clydesdale stallion for a breeding fee. Diamond's portrait was painted on the barn by his uncle, Joe Allen, and is recorded in the book of "Barns". Fur farming of mink and fox was also part of his ventures during this time. In the '40's, spring had definitely arrived when one heard the sounds of the saw mill as Mott and his local crew went into production. His brother, Ralph, was co-owner of the mill. Probably the highlight of Mott's life were his years of active participation in Wellington County politics. Although he failed his first campaign for reeve, the second time was a definite success. Mott always did things with enthusiasm and was soon to be elected to the Good Roads Committee, retiring as chairman of that committee. Mott's greatest love was hunting and was well known for his marksmanship. Probably the greated challenge was in hunting during the off season and outwitting the game warden, Bill Flynn. ... Mott had a great sense of humour, quick wit and ability to tell storieswith his own special embroidery. | ALLEN, Morrison Chester (Mott) (I3972)

| 4025 | From Ancestry - Life of Jean Walsh Harcourt MacLellan Jean Harcourt was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Macklin) Harcourt of Arthur Twp. She was born in Percy, Warkworth, Ont. When her mother left the farm, Jean got the dining room table from the farm and her good bedroom suite, and some chairs. She also had two big sea chests which had come from Ireland. One was in Douglas McLellan's room and one in Jean's closet. Her share of the inheritance was put into the mortgage on the farm Peter MacLellan had and built hen houses with some of it. Her obituary in the Mt. Forest Confederate stated that she was an active worker in the church and a member of Bethel Church since it was built. They farmed the home farm at N 1/2 Lot 14 Con 10 Arthur. In 1884 Peter built a large frame barn, one of the first around to be built on a stone wall. In 1904 he built a brand new house out of cement blocks, thus replacing the log house. A well was then drilled. In October 1925, the barn burned. The next year a steel truss barn was built. Hydro was installed in l941. Jean was a charter member of the Farewell WI. They were faithful members of the Farewell Baptist Church where Peter was a deacon. Peter was the Sec-Treas of SS #7 School at Farewell for many years. They are buried in Mt. Forest cemetery. | HARCOURT, Jean Walsh (I3992)

John was the son of Persis Merriam, father unknown. Like all Merriam families they start spelling their mane with one R. Some of the lines change it to two R's so check the index for both spellings. John came to Wentworth County, western Upper Canada from Oxford Mass. around 1800 and settled in Sheffield, Ontario. Their sons, Bruin and Sylvanus of the family moved to Sylvan Ontario. William C Merriam to Byron Ontario. All the research on Bruin, was done by Kit Cutting and Fred Merriam's, plus some of the other children. The research for the time before the came to Canada is from Bob Green's chart of the family Additional Info from Kit Cutting and Fred Merriam jointly over a period of years. History of John Meriam: John Meriam made a long trip by wagon train in about 1802 from New York State to Wentworth County, Upper Canada. John was born in 1770 (9?) in Oxford, Mass. to Persis Meriam and unknown father. He had been living with his mother and stepfather, Abner Claflin, in Sandisfield, Mass., helping Abner in his work., The family story is told that some cousins talked him into traveling to Westchester, NY where he joined a group of people going into Canada West. Also traveling west with the same wagon train was the family Sylvanus Cornell. John was born in 1779, and at 23, was ready to make his own way in the world. He settled on a farm near Sheffield, Beverly Twp., Wentworth Co., Canada about 1802. In 1812, he married Clarissa Cornell, Sylvanus's daughter, who was about 15. He organized the first Sabbath School in Sheffield. John was one of two assessors in Beverly in 1816 and was in the assessment roll that year. Clarissa and John had a large family of 10 children. Some of the children stayed in Wentworth County, but others moved to Middlesex or Waterloo Co. John and Clarissa are both buried in Sheffield Cemetery. Some of John's descendants later changed their names by adding an extra r. | MERRIAM, John (I2521)
