    Notes:

    Letter from the donor (July 20, 1974):

    Dear Sirs,

    I am writing this for Mrs. T.H. Wholton, and in answer to the Certificate of Gift forms you recent sent to her.

    My mother's maternal grandfather was James Shiel, born 1912, in Roxboroughshire, Scotland. He came to Canada ca. 1820-30 and was deeded land on the 10th Concession of North Dumfries Township. Mr. James Shiel made the violin (item no. 3 on the list) from wood he found at Abbotsford, the estate of Sir Walter Scott, in Scotland. He later gave the violin to one of his sons, John, who was my mother's uncle, and he gave it to my mother. My mother gave the violin to Mr. Andrew Taylor to give to the museum

    Mr. James Shiel married Margaret Miller (her family had also come from Scotland and we think they went to New Jersey first but are not sure of this. Margaret Miller had several siblings. One was Isobel who married Adam Ainslie. Another sister married Dickie of the Dickie Settlement, cf. old school out Blenheim Rd. from Galt at the road which leads to Blair. There is an old graveyard on this road with her tombstone. These Miller sisters were the daughters of a gentleman farmer of Hawick, Scotland.

    Items 1 and 2 on your list were made by the sons of James Shiel we think. The wooden pig was used as a foot stool. Item no. 5, the spoon, belonged to Adam Ainslie. I believe it has the family crest on it. They had a whole set, most of which was stolen when their house at Leith (near Own Sound) Ont. was broken into.

    The picture, Item no. 7, old school house on the site of the old stone school S.S. 19, (was) also the site of the North Dumfries Township office.

    The watch, item no. 4, belonged to a brother of Margaret Miller. It was in the possession of my mother's Uncle Jack, one of the sons of James Shiel and Margaret Miller. The Shiels had several children: John, George, James, Walter, Robbert (and) Ellen, my mother's mother. We think there were others who died young. George, James and Robert went out west....

    Notes:

    Death of Mr. Robert Scrimger - This very old and respected gentleman died at his residence in Galt on Monday evening last. Some months ago Mr. Scrimger met with a serious fall, from which he has since been a very severe sufferer. The deceased was born in Athol, Scotland, in 1798. With his parents and large family of brothers and sisters he came to this continent, the family settling first in York State. After residing there about fifteen years Mr. Scrimger came to Canada, first settling on land in the Township of London. He remained there but a short time removing to some land just adjoining his brother John's farm on Moffat's Creek. This he sold to the late Andrew Stewart. He then moved on the farm near Martin's Mills, the locality even now being best known to our old residents as "Scrimger's Saw Mill." Residing there for many years he finally moved into Galt, where he has since resided. His widow still survives him. Of his brothers and sisters three brothers and two sisters yet survive him all old men and women. Of his own family four sons, Messrs. Jas. R. William, and David, reside in Galt and Mr. George Scrimger in Beverly. Four daughters are also living.

    The funeral took place yesterday and was most largely attended by relatives and the many friends of the family.
