Notes:

Shade acted as Mr. Dickson's agent and attorney, and as soon as it became known in the Niagara district and other settled parts of the Province, that lands could be had on easy terms, a few straggling settlers made their way to the locality, and some returned to take up their abode. Scarcely any persons came in during the fall of 1816, and for several years afterwards, the progress made was not very promising. Report puts down the number of families in the township in 1817 as thirty-eight, com-prising in all one hundred arid sixty-three souls, and the whole of the farm stock as less than the number of animals now to be found on a single place. From a Government source, we find that in 1818 the estimate was only thirty-eight settlers, and sixty-three persons in all.

These statements are doubtless not far astray, but the latter estimate is probably below rather than above the mark, for, besides a few settlers who early took up land in the St. George neighbourhood, a small colony, chiefly from Genesee County, New York State, had located in the bush between Galt and the present village of Branchton, as early as 1817. Among these were Messrs. Donald Fraser, Thomas McBean, William Mackenzie,* John Buchanan, Robert Carrick, Alexander Harvie, Daniel McArthur and Dugald McColl, whose descendants, in several instances, still continue to hold and cultivate the lands then taken up.

*Donald Fraser, Thomas McBean and William Mackenzie walked all the way from Genesee Co., New York State, to Dumfries, during May, 1817. Mackenzie had assisted Mr. Marlett in surveying near Galt during the previous fall, and piloted the way. While on the road near Hamilton, the elder Dickson and his son William passed them on horseback. They knew Mackenzie, and informed the travellers that they could get Articles of Agreement immediately for any lands they might select, as they were then taking up these necessary documents. After arrival, Fraser, McBean and Mackenzie soon selected farms, and received the Articles therefor, which are said to have been the first three ever given by Mr. Dickson for any part of his Dumfries lands.

Notes:

"When the [Fenian] trouble was over, the officers seemed desirous of continuing the training indefinitely, but they found difficulty in impressing their men with the necessity of this. One of the unconvinced was Sandy Carrick. A grandson of Alexander Harvie, he had a true Scottish sense of humor. Musket practice consisted of putting powder in the gun and all firing at a given command. This was repeated over and over and no one realized (perhaps not even Sandy) that his gun was not going off with the rest. It was only becoming more and more full of powder. During one volley his weapon did explode, and the recoil knocked him flat on the ground. There he lay, motionless, while the crowd gathered round. When the smoke had all rolled away and everyone was beginning to really worry, Sandy opened his eyes and said: 'Tell Jean I died fighting for the Queen and for my country.'"

Robert J. Carrick
Death of Highly Esteemed Citizen Occurred Early Sunday Morning

Deceased was born on the East River Road, 3½ miles south of Galt. He continued to reside there until the time of his marriage to Mary Stalker of Kirkwall, when the young couple removed to a farm on the Roseville Road, two miles east of Roseville. There they resided until fifteen years ago when they retired to Ayr. The late Mr. Carrick was a man of exemplary character and for a great many years he held the position of elder in the First Presbyterian Church, Galt. He was later a member of the Trustee Board of Knox United Church, Ayr. He was highly esteemed for his many fine qualities and was beloved by a host of friends. Besides his widow, he is survived by the following four daughters: Miss Margaret, Mount Royal College, Calgary; Mrs. J. A. Gillespie, Ayr; Mrs. Geo. P. Moore, North Dumfries, and Mrs. (Rev.) Clifford Roger, St. Marys. He is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: James and William Carrick, Milwaukee; Mrs. Geo. R. Barrie, North Dumfries; Mrs. James Douglas, Galt, and Mrs. W.

Notes:

Jesse Carrick - SAD ACCIDENT - A very melancholy accident happened in North Dumfries on Saturday morning last, whereby a young child of Mr. Robert Carrick, of North Dumfries, about three years of age, received such injuries that its life is despaired of. The mother, it appears, had just taken a pot of boiling water off the stove and had set it on the floor, when the little thing lifter the steamer off the top of the pot, and in turning sharp round struck the stove with the steamer, throwing her off her balance, and causing her to fall in a sitting position into the water. The poor little thing was terribly scalded, convulsions setting in directly; and from present appearances the doctor in attendance has but small hopes of her recovery. -Since the above was written we regret to learn that the hopes at one time entertained of the little sufferer's recovery, have not been realized, and that she passed to her rest on Wednesday evening last. The funeral will take place to-day, (Friday), at 1 o'clock. The parents will have the sympathy of the entire community in their saddening bereavement.

W. C. Barrie Passes In 99th Year

One of the area's most respected citizens, William Carrick Barrie of RR 4, Galt, passed away in Cambridge Memorial Hospital on Friday, October 29th. He was in his 99th year. A son of the late George Barrie and Mary Carrick, he was born and lived all his life on the family century farm, Hwy. 97, west of Galt. His contributions to agriculture, the community and his church were many. During his active farming days he retired in 1973 Barrie grew registered seed and raised hogs, sheep and beef for market. He exhibited seed grain with his father, George, at the first Royal Winter Fair in Toronto in 1922. He served as a director of the Ontario Plowmen's Association for 51 years and was president in 1918-19. He had missed only one International Plowing Match since it was established in 1911. That was 1955 because he went to the world plowing match in Sweden as coach of the Canadian plowing team. Barrie still had the silver medal he received after winning the Ontario plowing match in 1911 and again in 1912. For six year's, Barrie was secretary of the North Dumfries Plowmen's Association. The 1939 match was held on his farm with 64 plowmen competing. He also served as judge at various Ontario matches and at fall fairs for many years. He retired from the Ontario association's board of directors in 1963 and received a miniature bronze plow mounted on a wooden base commemorating 50 years of service. Barrie was a past president of the Waterloo County Crop Improvement Association, the Waterloo County Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Agriculture Experimental Union, the South Waterloo Agricultural Society, the Central Dumfries Farmers Club and the South Waterloo Liberal Association. His contributions to local history were also substantial. For instance, he was a founding director of the Doon Pioneer Village in 1953 and subsequently established the village's agricultural display from his own extensive collection. He was also a past presi dent of the Waterloo Historical Society. In the spring of 1975, Barrie was elected to the Agriculture Hall of Fame and in 1974, he received an Ontario Agriculture College centennial medal in recognition of his services to agriculture.

For his contributions to the Waterloo Region, he was elected a member of the Waterloo County Hall of Fame at the Pioneer Village. In the municipal field, Barrie served on North Dumfries Township council from 1921 to 1924 and on the Galt Suburban Roads Commission. He was also livestock evaluator for 25 years in North Dumfries Township. When he retired from farming at 89, Barrie made a hobby of carving wooden gavels. He had made 4,782, many of which were presented to leading figures world-wide. Reforestation was another interest and Barrie was a member of the Waterloo county tree conservation committee for more than 28 years. For his contribution to forest management and property improvement, he received the first forestry award of merit from Ontario in 1973. Barrie was a long-time member and hard worker in Central Presbyterian Church, Cambridge. His grandfather, Robert, helped to build the church in 1880 and family members have been active workers since that time. He was a senior elder at the church for many years. His personal collection of artifacts was almost large enough to start a museum. It included old coins, many found on his property while plowing, Indian axes and arrowheads, old magazines and newspapers. In 1980, Barrie was chosen as the first recipient of the Jack Young Civic Tribute, an award presented annually to the person in the region who best exemplifies the high standards of political and civic life exhibited by Jack Young, the first chairman of Waterloo Region. His wife, the former Agnes King, died in 1981. Surviving are four sons, William of Almonte.

WILL C. BARRIE

In November 1960, W. C. Barrie completed his second year as president after many years of service with the Waterloo Historical Society. Probably no president up to this time had represented the organization at so many events. In Waterloo County during his term as president there were six unveilings of plaques erected by the Ontario Archaeological and Historic Sites Board. At these and many other functions.

On his father's side his great-grandparents came to North Dumfries from Ayrshire, Scotland in 1829 His maternal great- grandparents emigrated from Scotland to New York State and later from there to North Dumfries in 1817. Fifth generation descendants of these pioneers now live on the home farm.

In 1916 Will Barrie married Agnes King of North Dumfries and together they developed an ideal farm home for three girls and four boys. There were twenty-three grandchildren in 1960. Through the years a great many people have been entertained' in this one hundred and five year old house. Here there are many evidences of keen interest in hobbies and pioneer history.

As a director of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association, Mr. Barrie had the opportunity to visit all the Canadian Provinces. His many years of service as a Plowman enabled him while on tours of duty to visit many European countries.
