Notes - Passing of John S. Reid - There passed away at an early hour on Tuesday morning John S. Reid, one of the pioneers of Dumfries. Mr. Reid was born on the Duke of Boueleugh's estate in the year 1829 and when a small boy, came to Canada with his parents and a colony of Scotch emigrants from Dumfriesshire, Scotland. They were six weeks on the ocean and arrived in Montreal about the latter end of July; continuing on their journey, they reached Galt on the 12th day of August, 1831, where land had been allotted to them in the township which got its name from the shire they came from. Mr. Reid experienced all the hardship of pioneer life and not only helped to clear the land his father had taken up, but a number of the farms lying adjacent. The debating society held their meetings at his father's house during the winter months and he distinctly remembered the members bringing armfuls of pine knots to furnish the light during the discussion, and he often attended divine service in William Currie's log barn before the "old log meeting house" was built on the grave yard which still remains to be seen on the Galt road. In 1854 Mr. Reid married Isabella Matheson, who predeceased him 26 years, leaving a family of four sons - John and Walter of Ayr, Andrew of Guelph, James of Rock Island, Ill., and six daughters - Catherine at home, Mrs. Codling (deceased), Mrs. Gladstone of Nithvale, Mrs. Ward of Woodstock; Mrs. Carter of Ayr and Violet of Guelph, who now mourn the loss of an affectionate father. Of a quiet and unassuming disposition he had a large circle of friends, who heard of his death with sincere regret. In his latter years he often remarked that he had lived long enough to note that each successive generation of the small colony of Scotch emigrants that came to Dumfries with him had, despite increasing prosperity and abounding freedom deemed it a point of national honor to maintain inviolate the cherished traditions of their fathers by accepting a quotation from the Bible as a final argument on every question. He was 83 years and five months of age.
