• Notes

  In 1886 Nellie Lundy married James Young Graham, whose grandfather, Thomas Graham, emigrated from Ecclefechan, Scotland, in a sailing vessel around 1800. Thomas' wife, nee Carlyle (a cousin of the famous Thomas Carlyle), and eight children began the trip with him but Mrs. Graham became ill and passed away at Ellis Island. The eldest son, William, at 18 years of age worked as a carpenter, later as a contractor for many of the old stone buildings in Galt, notably the City Hall and the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. P. Brown. This residence, next door to First United Church, was owned and occupied for many years by Dr. Leslie King. Thomas Graham was buried in the ground now known as High Park but his remains were later removed to the St. Andrew's St. cemetery. His tombstone with inscription is in the pergola there.
