      ________________


      In 1847, an Irish family, Alexander McCloy, Sr., his wife and children emigrated to Canada. It was the time of the potato famine in Ireland and it was with great difficulty that money for the passage could be raised. Steerage passengers endured great hardships. All that was provided was hard tack, all other food was brought on board the passengers themselves. One of the younger McCloy children died at sea, another died at Five Locks near Bytown (now Ottawa). The destination of the McCloy family was Seaforth, Ont., where other relatives had come some time before, but on arriving at Preston, Ont., the father was so ill they could go no further. He died there and the kindly Joseph Erb family and others of Preston gave him a decent burial. Mrs. McCloy was stricken with brain fever and her life was despaired of, but again, kindly neighbors nursed her back to life and helped the widow to find homes for the older children, David, William and Mary. Joseph Erb gave Mrs. McCloy a house, rent free, for eight years. This story has a hanpy ending. Ephraim Wilson an English gentleman of means, married the widow, Mrs. McCloy, and her daughter Mary married Isaac, the son of Ephraim Wilson and they all lived happily ever after.
