• Notes

  MELDRUM, ANN (Nee McLean) Another of the Puslinch pioneers, relict of Rev. William Meldrum, the first settled Presbyterian minister in Puslinch Township. She was the last surviving member of the family of Peter McLean, who emigrated from Badenoch, Invemesshire, Scotland in the year 1833, when she was a child of 9 years. On Christmas Day 1845, she married William Meldrum, who at that time had charge of the Puslinch congregation. Leaving there in 1853, he ministered in Vaughan and then Harrington. In 1872, when Rev. Meldrum retired from the active ministry, they returned to Puslinch to settle on the homestead near Morriston, which he had taken up when he first came to the township. Upon his death in 1899, Mrs. Meldrum moved to a house she had built for herself in the vicinity and resided there until her death on October 16, 1908, at the age of 84. The funeral took place at her residence on Tuesday, Oct. 20, conducted by Rev. S. Lawrence, the present pastor of Duff's Church, Rev. J. S. Morlock of Morriston and Rev. William Robertson of Dundas, who had been her pastor for some sixteen years. It was attended by a large concourse of her friends in the neighbourhood and many relatives and descendants from far and near. Pallbearers were her five sons and one grandson. She leaves a family of five sons and four daughters, many grandchildren and several even of the next generation. Mr. Robertson referred in feeling terms to the sterling qualities of Mrs. Meldrum, which stood her in such good stead through the pioneer days and endeared her alike to old and young during the many years of her active and useful life.
