Notes:

"In 1834, Alexander Fleming, a young boy of eight years, known familiarly as Sandy, emigrated with his widowed mother, Lillias (nee Gregor), his two younger brothers, John and James, and his Gregor grandparents, Peter and Margaret, with their family of seven. In one record, Sandy also mentions his half sister who also came. (Perhaps his father was a widower with one child, when Lillias married him.) They sailed on the ?Alfred of Alloway?, which carried eight Scottish families on board. The voyage took nine weeks and three days. They were short of water, and the food was mostly fat pork and black bread, with one bowl of oatmeal porridge in the morning."

FLEMING, ALEXANDER

At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Beattie of Blair, on Wednesday, August 25, 1926, in his 101^st year. Former resident of Puslinch. He was in his usual good health and in process of all his faculties, until a few days previous to his death. Mr. Fleming was born in Edinburgh and came to this country with his mother, when he was 8 years of age. They settled in Morriston but it was not long after their arrival that his mother died and Sandy, cast on his own resources, went to work for a farmer in the neighbourhood. Here he learned in the school of hard work, that splendid characteristic which helped him all through life, namely, self reliance. In the course of time, he bought a bush farm situated on the tenth concession, about three miles from Aberfoyle. After many years of hard work, the farm was finally cleared. The old log house in which he first lived is still standing, reminiscent of the days of his early struggles and the scene of his first home joys. A beautiful home now stands on the old farm, a monument to his industry and progressiveness. Survived by three daughters, Mrs. Frank Beattie of Blair; Mrs. Hugh Reid of Galt; Mrs. George Dixon of Hamilton; and one son, Alexander on the old homestead. Funeral was held at the home of his daughter in Blair on Sat. , Aug. 28 at 1 and interment took place in Crown Cemetery. Rev. Buchanan Carey of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Guelph conducted the service. Five grandsons and one great-grandson acted as pallbearers.
