| 5319 | The following is a biographical sketch of Jane Morrison, daughter of William Morrison and Mary Ann Shaw and mother of Eliza Jane Morrison, Mrs. John Officer Lyons. This sketch, which originally appeared as an obituary in the Harriston Review, has been taken from The Confederate (Mount Forest), Thursday, March 22, 1917. The death of Mrs. Jane Morrison removed from us one of Minto's old ladies, a woman beloved by all who knew her. She was born in Tubercurry, Ireland, eighty-eight years ago and as a bride, came to Canada with her husband, Matthew Morrison, who died about ten years ago. Together they took up land in Arthur Township where the family was born. Those early days meant hardship. Mrs. Morrison had to care for the home claim while her husband went to older parts, usually near to Hamilton, to help harvest crop. She had to carry her basket of produce on foot to Mount Forest, a distance of twelve miles. The training of her family and the church were not forgotten. When weather permitted she walked several miles to church at Bethel and carried her babe. She was a member of the Anglican Church. Some twenty-two years ago the family moved to Lot 100, Con. D, Minto, on the gravel, which place the son, Robert, now owns, and at whose home the mother died. Mrs. Morrison was one who never complained in the weariness of old age, for the wit, so characteristic of her early life kept her bright and helped make it cheery for all near her. Grippe which developed into pneumonia was the cause of her death. She died on Monday, March 5th, and was laid to rest in Harriston Cemetery on March 7th. The service was conducted by her former minister, Rev. Canon Scudamore, of Fergus, and Rev. H. H. Wilkinson. The family left to mourn her loss are Mary and Robert at home; Mrs. Edward Shaw, Dresden, Ont.; Mrs. Edward Whitmarsh, Wallaceburg, Ont.; Mrs. Albert Fyfe, Harriston; Lindsay, of Arthur Tp.; James, of Mt. Forest. -- Harriston Review. Note:The names of Mrs. John O. Lyons and one other sister, Mrs Samuel E. Shaw, were not included with the family members left to mourn the loss of their mother in the foregoing obituary. | MORRISON, Jane (I4470)

| 5320 | The following is a transcript that Mary Raine's granddaughter typed of her grandmother's funeral (1926). Ila (Mary Raine's granddaughter) was living with her parents, Hiram and Eunice Alford, and she was taking commercial course at Ottawa's school of Higher English and Applied Arts (cor. Kent Street and Laurier Avenue. Later, the school was re-assigned and became Kent Street Intermediate School). Grandma's Services Hymns | RAINE, Mary (I4131)

| 5321 | The following is an excerpt from a Wilkin Family record obtained from Elizabeth Rodier, Calgary, AB., Oct. 1998, e-mail: "...The Wilkins were not the only ones who married relatives and confused the family records. Margaret Morrison Wilkin had a sister Jane who married a cousin Matthew Morrison and lived in Arthur township. She died 1917. Daughters Deliah, Ruby and Rebecca married and lived in the London area. Mary Ann had a stroke about age 12, walked with a cane and lived at home. Drucilla, Mrs. Fife, married late in life, no children. Robert (Bob) also lived at home until married later in life, had 3 or 4 children. Lindsay and his wife Luissia were married in 1894, had 4 or 5 children. Some of them went to the US." | MORRISON, Jane (I4470)

| 5322 | The Lee Family of Leeds County - https://www.anamericanfamilyhistory.com/Dwinnell%20Associates/Lee%20Family.html Ephraim Lee was born about 1755 in Columbia County, New York of Virginian parents. He married Jerusha Palmer. He moved to Canada when son James was 3 years old. Ephraim and Jerusha's children probably included: Samuel Lee (1778, married Anna Booth), Gardiner Lee (1779, married Mary Bigelow), Ephraim Lee (1780, married Sarah Hinshaw), Palmer Lee (1782), Phebe Lee (1785, married Simon Mott), Hannah Lee (1789), Amy Lee (1794), Lydia Lee (1796), James Lee (1798, married Elizabeth McVeigh), Rosannah Lee (1800), and Lorra Lee (1803). In 1810, Gardiner sold land to Alanson Botsford. The indenture was dated June 10, 1810. The land was in the front half of lot # 33 in the fifth concession of Elizabethtown Township, Leeds County, Ontario. The sale was witnessed by Samuel Lee of Yonge Township and Asahel Frye, Jr. Palmer and Thomas Lee appeared on the census lists of Yonge Township, Leeds County Ontario in the 1840s. Palmer Lee was born about 1782. He was the son of Ephraim Lee and Sarah Hinshaw. He married Clarinda Nelson. Milo Lee (1805), Nelson Lee (1807), Philander Lee (1816), and Phileamon Lee (1820). During the War of 1812, Palmer Lee served in the Second Leeds Militia. | LEE, Ephraim (I3544)

| 5323 | The ninth child of William and Rebecca - he was the first of their children to be born in Iron Bridge. He was born on their farm, which was located from Spruce Grove Cemetery, west to include all of Lauzsus Strawberry Farm (2008). He attended the SS#1 Gladstone Public School, which was located on land donated by his father. While at school he met his future wife, Emma Gardiner. In 1908 he completed the Preliminary Theological course for the Methodist Church. The record of this is in Emma's wooden box at Gerald Bell's. This certificate was to be upgraded if anymore courses were completed for the ministry. But there were no more additions to the certification so it seems he did not pursue this lifestyle. He was, according to his obituary, a teacher in his early years, but turned to farming later. After he married Emma Gardiner on Apr 23, 1914 in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, they lived on his father, William Allen's farm in Iron Bridge, which he bought after his father's death in 1911. They had several personal tragedies in their life together. While working in Hearst around 1921, there was a large fire that almost took the whole family. When Cyrus saw the fire, it was coming from the west and was 1/2 mile away. He set the horses loose from the stable and got his wife and 4 kids and headed to a creek 100 yards away. Before they reached the creek they had to run through brush piles on fire. Emma carried Herb, Lloyd ran beside her, Cyrus had Alta under one arm and Elsie under the other. Elsie slipped out of his grasp into the burning brush, burning her legs. When they reached the creek they put wet blankets over their heads as the fire roared over them. Meanwhile, Russell Beemer and family were at church, Jack Humphries and his mother also. When they saw the fire heading to Cyrus' place, Russell tried to run to help but the fire got too close and he had to turn back. While running back, the fire was leaping across the road over his head. Meanwhile Jack Humphries had tried to return to his cabin to save some of their belongings, but he had to run to safety and the soles were burned from his Sunday shoes. This was the end of the pulpwood operation and the families returned to Iron Bridge and Sault Ste Marie. About 1924 their son Lloyd contracted polio which was often fatal at that time. Fortunately he survived but was left paralyzed in both legs. Cecil died as an infant in 1925 at the age of one year. Cyrus contracted tuberculosis and died July 21, 1934. He died at Weston Sanitarium at the age of fifty. | ALLEN, Cyrus Rothwell (I462)

| 5324 | The third publication, Impartial Reporter & Farmers' Journal, Thursday, March 27, 1845 reveals - Accident and Loss of Life. On the 21st instant, between six and seven o'clock afternoon, William Betty, Christopher Foster, John Foster, John Burnside, Thomas Haran and William Farrell, left Bow Island in a boat for the purpose of going to a small island for fodder for cattle, and when within about 200 yards of it, the boat struck against a rock and upset, by which the six men lost their lives. Another of the name of Burnside, saved his life by getting hold of an oar. One of the drowned men has left a widow and six helpless orphans to deplore the loss of their industrious parent. An inquest has been held by Mr. William Trotter, and a verdict, "accidental drowning", was returned. | BURNSIDE, Robert (I186)

| 5333 | This story was told by Clifford Weir (1906-1979) who was a grandson of Samuel Weir (1825-1903). "Grandpa Weir [Samuel Weir] was brought to Chantry when was 12 by his father, Great Grandpa Weir [George Weir]. Great Grandpa Weir's father, Great Great Grandpa Weir, was a nobleman in Ireland. Great Grandpa Weir had married the gate keeper's daughter [Margery 1795] whose son was Grandpa Weir . . .

| 5334 | Thomas and Eliza Jane Mills emigrated to Australia arriving on 26 January 1838 from Ireland on board Strathfieldsaye http://thepeerage.com/p17250.htm#i172495 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRICT NEWS (FROM OUR VARIOUS CORRESPONDENTS.) DUNGOG. Mr. Abbott died at his residence, Violet Hill, yesterday forenoon, at 11 o'olook. You and his other friends and acquaintance have been prepared for some time to hear of his death, as the inevitable result of the disease which be laboured under; which made its first approaches two years ago, according to his own account, although the accelerating stages which kept him finally to his house have not extended over two months. Gradual prostration of the vital powers rather than distressing symptoms marked his complaint, until it brought on disease of the lungs. This morning, shortly before ten o'olock, his remains were borne from his house upon men's shoulders through the town, and placed in the vehicle in which it is to be conveyed to the Manning, in fulfilment of an old and ineradicable desire of Mr. Abbott to be buried in that district. Notwithstanding the inability of many of us to know of the funeral arrangements in time enough to allow of participation in them, the body was followed through and beyond the town by a cavalcade befitting the obsequies of an old and prominent resident, one of the few links between the present and the primitive days of the district; and demonstrative of wide respect and sympathy for his bereaved family. Nov. 26, 1868. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From yorklily71 - Jan 20, 2017 Hi. I hope you don't mind if I say I don't believe Jane Kingsmill and her husband Joseph Abbott were the parents of Thomas Augustus Abbott. My cousin has a family tree online. She received an email from a gentleman by the name of Alan J. Buttenshaw. His great grandfather was John Abbott, brother to Thomas Augustus Abbott. John and Thomas had a sister Ann who came to Australia with her family in 1842. Letters written to her sons by their uncle John said that his mother had died in 1829 when he was 9 years old. His father died on his 20th birthday just months before he and his brother Andrew came to Australia. Ann's immigration record said that both her parents were dead. Andrew Abbott's death certificate says his mother was Jane Lark. Jane Kingsmill married her husband Joseph Abbott 1826 in Dublin. The Index to their Marriage License is on Ancestry. They were probably the parents of the Rev. Thomas Kingsmill Abbott of Trinity College Dublin. He was born 1829 in Dublin. My cousin's tree shows that both Joseph Abbotts shared the same ancestry but were from different branches of the Abbott family. Whether that is correct I don't know. Kind regards Angela Fox | ABBOTT, Thomas Augustus (I10212)

| 5335 | Thomas and his 1st wife Maria left for Sydney Australia via Liverpool on the Larne, in 1841. Maria died during the voyage. Thomas arrived on 21 Oct 1841. His papers say he was brought out by Bob Thompson. | ALLEN, Thomas Duke (I9679)
|
| 5336 | Thomas Duke Allen was a gaoler at Parramatta gaol, corner Dunlop & New Streets Parramatta. The gaol is the oldest and most intact gaol in original use in Australia. Governor George Gipps proclaimed the incomplete prison open on 3rd Jan 1842. The first gaoler was Thomas Duke Allen. He spent most of his 20 years in charge trying to requisition sufficient facilities to make the gaol habitable. His wife, Martha, acted as matron for the female prisoners. | ALLEN, Thomas Duke (I9679)
|
| 5337 | Thomas left Liverpool, England on 19 June 1890 on the SS Circassion for Canada. He arrived 2 Jul 1890. His first placement was with Robert W. Morrison, a wagon builder at Farewell. But Thomas was too small to do the work for which he would be training and Mr Morrison offered to find him another place in the area; Barnado's agreed to this move for Thomas. On 11 July 1890 - Mr. Robert Allen (ID #I764) wrote to Barnado's that Thomas had been transferred to him. He offered to provide Thomas with his board and clothing and to send him to school for two years; Barnado's agreed to this for Thomas. But although Thomas was in good health he was slightly built and Robert could not keep him on. Thomas eventually ended up in the home of William & Margory Allen, where he was treated as a son. He grew up with Rachel and her siblings. (B Durston) | DEWBURY, Thomas Walter (I3126)
