    Notes:

    GLENNIE, JAMES

    At 84 years of age, a resident of Portage for the last forty years, on Sunday, February 16, 1925, at the General Hospital, after a short illness. A pioneer of Portage, Mr. Glennie was well known throughout the district. He took a prominent part in the social life of the community and only recently sang at concerts given here. He took a great interest in the political activities and was a strong support of C. D. McPherson, defeated Liberal candidate in the last provincial election. Mr. Glennie was born at Aberdeen, Scotland. He came to Manitoba and settled in the McDonald district, later moving to Burnside and Orange Ridge and after a short stay, returned to his home at McDonald. His farms at all these points were decided successes. Mr. Glennie's entertaining abilities brought him before the communities many times and his offerings were well appreciated. He sang at the 50th anniversary of the St. Andrew's Society at Portage about a month ago. He was a member of the society. Survived by three sons, five daughters and twenty- one grandchildren. His wife predeceased him about five years ago.

    Additional comments by the Hespeler Herald: Old residents of Puslinch will remember Mr. Glennie, who resided on the Walter Buchanan farm and also on the David Stirton farm, near Memorial Church. Mr. Glennie was quite a singer and used to sing at concerts in the Presbyterian Church.

    Ma. JAS. GLENNIE, of Wellington Co., Ont., near Guelph, who has been a two weeks visit throughout Manitoba, left for the east Wednesday. Mr. Glennie was here with a view of settling in this country, and he has been so favorably impressed that he has decided to remove here next spring, and will settle in the Portage laPrairie district near Burnside. He will go extensively into stock raising and mixed farming, and will bring with him a number of pure bred Hereford and and Aberdeen Pole cattle and Shropshire sheep. Mr. Glennie considers our climate and country specially adapted to stock farming.

    Notes:

    The Session Records of Chalmers Church, Winterbourne, or rather Woolwich, as it was first called, give very little information of interest to us, being mostly statements of times of holding the Communion Services. We glean a few things from them: The Rev. George Cuthbertson, a graduate of Knox College, Toronto, was called, ordained and inducted into the charge of Chalmers' Church, Woolwich, in October of 1857, but no record is given of the event in the Session Records. A new book had been purchased and date entered Oct. 1st, 1857, and a few pages left blank, probably for such an entry to be made but they remain blank and the first entry is Dec. 31st, 1857, and from the entry of Jan. 29th, 1858, we learn the members of Session were (William) Gerrie, (William) Mitchell, (John) Burnett, and (John) Glennie, along with the Moderator, Rev. George Cuthbertson. On 30th Sept, 1859, there was brought before the Session the movement for the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Churches. Some objection was taken to the basis of union by the Session. Aug. 6th, 1860, Mr. John Burnett ceases to be an elder of the church.

    During the vacancy the Rev. W. S. Ball was interim Moderator, but. only one Session Record is entered, that of Jan. 25th, 1864, more than two years after Mr. Cuthbertson had left. And the next Record is Dec. 28th of that year 1864, which is the first record of Rev. C. Graham, which shows that he was settled in the fall of 1864. The members of Session besides himself were William Mitchell, James Law, Wm. Veitch, John Glennie and James Adamson. The Records of Jan. 23rd, 1865, name the Church Chalmers' Church, Winterbourne, for the first time, and this Record notes the death of elder Wm. Mitchell, who had been elder before the disruption and having identified himself with the Free Church party he continued in that relationship to the Church, holding the office for over twenty years. In 1865 the Presbyterian Church in Hawksville was organized as a separate congregation, connected with Winterbourne. The Minutes of Oct. 5th, 1865, record the death of elder John Glennie, so that the church was deprived of two of its leading office bearers, by death, in that year. Mr. Glennie was a member of Session at the settlement of Mr. Cuthbertson, so his ordination and induction were previous to that. At the Session of April 6th, 1868, the movement for a separate congregation in Elmira was brought before them by petition signed by 21 members and 20 adherents and asking for fortnightly service. There had been occasional services long before this, both in Elmira and Hawkesville. One of the old members in Elmira told of Mr. Alexander, student preacher in 1849, preaching in Elmira. And Mr. Cuthbertson preached in Hawkesville.

    Winterbourne

    Obituary - Mrs. Robt. Burnett, an aged resident of this district, passed away on the 17th inst. Deceased who was 87 years old enjoyed good health up to three weeks ago. About that time she fell breaking her thigh bone and this together with a later attack of la grippe proved too much for a constitution already enfeebled by age. The remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery on Thursday.
