• Notes

  MCCORMICK, ANGUS At his residence in Puslinch, on Friday afternoon, the 12th February 1892, in his 68th (or 71st - varying reports) year. An old resident of the Gore, he had been ailing for about six months. Another of the early settlers of the township, Mr. McCormick was well known and highly respected. He was born near Tarbet, Kintyre, Argyleshire, Scotland in 1824, the youngest of a family of seven sons, who have preceded him to the "land from whence not traveller ere returns", all of whom sleep in our quiet Killean Cemetery. Mrs. John Thompson of Bathgate, Dakota, is now the only surviving member of this well known family, whose energy and perseverance have left us so many traces in this locality. Arriving in Puslinch in 1837, they were among the first settlers and their experience and hospitality were at the disposal of later arrivals, whose hearts they cheered by their friendly welcome and encouraged by their example. Mr. McCormick married in 1851 to Barbara Blair and settled on lot 18, Gore of Puslinch and subsequently, on front lot 20, where he remained till his death. Up to the past year, he always enjoyed good health. He was buried in Killean on Monday, the 15th. He shared the many good qualities of his family; upright, and honourable in his dealings and of a kindly disposition, he won many sincere friends. He leaves his widow, two sons and four daughters. - Information from Knox Presbyterian Church, Crieff, 1840-1990 by Anna Jackson: Seventh son of John McCormick (1785-1839).
