Notes:

We do not know when or where he died. He is rumored to have fought in the Civil War and went to the States to collect a pension. Although he did cross the border in 1916, he indicated that he was in the States 1862-1864 living at "various places" without a mention of military service. I think I found him in the 1920 census for Waycross, Ware, Georgia; however, in this census he lists that his parents were born in Canada and not Scotland where they were born. The original family tree states that his last known residence was Wayside, Georgia. When he crossed, he listed his destination as Crystal Springs, Florida.

Demise of Mr. & Mrs. Walter Rutherford - Married About 50 Years, and In Death They Were Not Long Divided

There passed away within a week of each other an aged couple in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rutherford, lot 36 con. 10, North Dumfries, who had lived together for half a century and in death were not long divided. Mrs. Rutherford was the first to cross into the great unknown, her death occurring on Tuesday Jan. 4th, the husband, following on Monday, Jan. 10th. Both had attained a good age, the wife being in her 76th year and Mr. Rutherford in his 84th. Theirs had been the simple, unostentatious life, and the attachment which existed between them was evidence of years of tender companionship. Mrs. Rutherford was Williamson, her birth place being Oneida Township. The husband was born at Cheviot Hills, Scotland, and came to Canada at the age of 8. He had been about 30 years on the farm on which he died. He was the last close of kin on his side of the house. Both were members of Knox United Church, Ayr, and in politics were Conservative. The family comprises four daughters and two sons, viz.: Mrs. A. Dryden, Galt; Mrs. G. Wallace, and Mrs. W. Little, North Dumfries; Elizabeth at home; Robert and James at home. Mrs. Rutherford leaves three brothers and three sisters. They are: James Williamson, Wayside, Georgia; David Williamson, Manitoulin Island; Andrew Williamson, North Dumfries; Mrs. And. Nichol, North Dumfries; Mrs. G. Hodgson, and Mrs. G. McDonald, Manitoulin Island. Interment was made in the Ayr cemetery on Jan 6 and Jan. 12 respectively. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Wesley Snyder, Thos. Sheard, John Hodgson, And. Nichol, Jas. King and W. Gemmell. The same gentlemen acted in both cases, with the exception that yesterday M. And. Williamson was substituted for Mr. Hodgson, and Mr. Alex. Edgar for Mr. Sheard. Rev. Mr. Brown conducted both services.

Notes:

David Williamson with his wife Sarah Lynch, came to Manitou lin Island (Ontario, Canada) in 1880, from the Ayr district in North Dumfries Township of Southern Ontario. With them was their family of three boys, James,William and David - a babe in arms. David Sr. was a son of James Williamson and his wife Anne Calder who came to Canada from Scotland an d may have originally settled in Caledonia.

When David and Sarah embarked from Owen Sound, they landed at Manitowaning and were driven by cart to Van Zant's Landing. From there they went by boat across Lake Manitou, to Lehman's Landing - where Sid Cox presently lives. By then Sarah would have liked a cup of tea but none was forth coming. They then walked - probably the forest trail about 3 miles to John Caddel's house on Lake Mindemoya. Mrs. Caddel was David's sister. Sarah carried the baby, David, in her arms all the way.

It is known that they lived in a log cabin on what is now Jack Seabrook's farm and Andrew was born there in 1883, also probably Walter, Mary and Harry.

In 1892 they purchased from Frank and Elizabeth Wagg, the Colin Wagg farm and the Williamson family still owns this farm. Harold and Peter run the farm now.

This settlement was known then as Hopetown and was the site of the first fall fair in 1883 in Mindemoya. For many years the Department of Agriculture used part of the farm as an Experimental Station under the care of Peter and Walter Williamson. David was a councillor for Canarvan Township and Peter served as Councillor and then Reeve from 1949-1959 with another year as Councillor 1965-1966.

_____________________

His son Harry was in from Alberta and the family had planned to attend a fair. To celebrate the occasion, David went into his cellar to get some of his homemade wine. He opened one of the bottles and sipped to see if it was ready for consumption. The bottle that he chose in that dark cellar was formaldehyde that resulted in his death.

I bought C Wagg farm I don't know if I will ever be able to pay for it or not if I do I will have the best farm in part I. Paid 2300 for it and he took mine for 800 and I move on a year from this spring you ought to let me put some rails on this f arm or you will never rent it to anyone else and I don' t think you will ever get more than $100 dollars for it again. I want you to tell me how much money I sent to you last May for I don't know for sure. I am sorry I haven't more to send and mother will look for so me I will send you $55, dollars in this letter and I don't think I can send you any more for a while. But I will try and sell some cattle or I took out some ties I may get a check from them and send it to you .

Struck by Car, William Williamson Dies of Injuries

The community was shocked on Saturday morning by the death of one of its well-known rural residents as the result of being struck by a car. William Williamson, 75, who has farmed for many years about two miles north of Ayr on the Ayr - Black Horse road, died in K-W Hospital at 12.30 p.m., about three hours after the accident. According to Ontario Provincial Police Constable Hibbard of Kitchener, Mr. Williamson was crossing toward the west side of the road, almost in front of his home, about 9.30 a.m., when he was struck by a car driven north by Charles M. Haines, 75, of Mount Pleasant. Constable Hibbard said Mr. Williamson was apparently going to check on some brush which he was burning across the road. Dr. John Holland of Ayr was summoned and the injured man was removed to hospital. His death was attributed to shock, multiple fractures and other injuries. An inquest will be held. It was the second death within a week from the same cause to sadden this community. The previous Tuesday, Herald Plumstead of Brantford, formerly of Ayr, died after being struck by a car on a Brantford street. Mr. Williamson was born at Greenfield, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Williamson. Early in life he learned the barbering trade in Galt and later worked in Saskatoon and Montreal for some 17 years. He returned to farm at the present location for the rest of his days. Mr. Williamson was a member of Ayr Masonic Lodge and an adherent of Knox United Church here. He is survived by his wife, the former Charlotte Kerr; a son, Russell of Kitchener; a daughter, Mrs. Donald Rabb (Ruth) of Tillsonburg; a brother, Albert of Sheffield, and a sister, Mrs. Casey Herriot of Galt. Five grandchildren also survive.

The Funeral

Funeral service was conducted on Tuesday at the W. O. Ball Funeral Home by Rev. W. J. V. Buchanan. Interment was made in Ayr Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Gordon Marshall, Roland E.
