MCKELLAR, ANGUS

Death of a Very Old Resident of Puslinch

Of Puslinch, near Killean, January 29, 1886. He had been ailing for some time, so that his death was not unexpected. He was in his 71^st year. Mr. McKellar came to Canada from Argyllshire, Scotland, sailing the day Queen Victoria was crowned, 20^th June 1837. He spent a short time about Peterborough, coming soon to Galt, however and buying the land on the 1^st concession of Puslinch. He cut almost the first tree along the line. As soon as his preparations were completed, he removed his young family to the house which he had erected and there he, with some of them, continuously resided until his death. During the forty-four years of his residence, he had the satisfaction of seeing the wild lot gradually put under cultivation. Handsome and commodious buildings replaced the humble ones of early days and prosperity prevails, where for many years nothing but the most active exertions kept the wolf from the door. Mr. McKellar was a genial, warm-hearted man and enjoyed the respect and friendship of all who knew him thoroughly. He leaves a family of six sons and four daughters, John McKellar, postmaster at Avonton, Downie Twp. ; Walter McKellar of Michigan; Archibald and William, still residing on the homestead; Alexander McKellar of New Mexico; Duncan McKellar of San Francisco; Mrs. A. Young of Michigan; Mrs. David Jardine of Galt; Miss Janet, residing with her brothers on the farm; and Mrs. John McCormick of Puslinch. His aged widow resides with her sons, also on the homestead. Mr. McKellar was buried in the pretty little cemetery at Killean, a very large gathering accompanying his body to its last resting place.

-Guelph Mercury, Saturday, February 6, 1886.
