    Notes:

    Jennie Ferguson Cowan, a native of North Dumfries Township, and a historian, was educated at Mill Creek School, and Galt Collegiate Institute and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1926, with an Arts Degree in the Honour Course in Household Science. She was a teacher for seven years. Much credit is due Cowan for her enthusiasm in arousing public interest in the history of Waterloo County.

    She was one of the earliest convenors of historical research and current events for the Women's Institutes in South Waterloo and London districts, encouraging at all times the assembling of records of local history.

    A member of the session of Knox's Presbyterian Church in Galt, she was the writer of a large part of the church's history on the occasion of the centennial of the church building in 1969.

    She stimulated research by the Waterloo Historical Society of which she was president from 1951-53. She was one of the early members of the Board of Directors of Doon Pioneer Village, and also of the Waterloo County Hall of Fame Research Committee.

    After her marriage to Thomas D. Cowan in 1932, she lived at Clochmhor, the family farm since 1834, until the sale of the farm to the City of Galt.

    ___________________________

    Jennie Ferguson Turnbull was born in 1896 on the family farm in the Mill Creek area of North Dumfries Township. Her great-grandfather, Duncan Ferguson, was an original pioneer settler at Mill Creek. Her parents were Jerad Turnbull and Jessie Ferguson, and Jennie's life-long interest in history - an interest which led to her substantial contributions in the field of local history - seems to have been encouraged by both of them. Of her father, Jennie said, "he was very fond of telling stories... I was given wonderful pictures of his childhood days." Of her mother, she reflected, "I feel that she'd had a very very keen mind... And she had a wonderful memory [for] things... And [she was] very ambitious for her daughter."

    Jennie's paternal grandparents had immigrated from Scotland; Andrew Turnbull was one of the first trustees of Mill Creek School. Jennie had a vivid memory of her maternal grandmother, Jane Elliott Ferguson, crossing Mill Creek by walking along a log with Jennie's mother, in order to return to the family's farm.

    Jennie's precise memories of her childhood evoke a long-vanished way life in rural Ontario at the beginning of the last century. She was educated in a one-room school, the Mill Creek Public School, attended by 40 students of all grades. The school had two ante-rooms, one for the boys and one for the girls, and was heated with a large woodstove located at the back of the room, with the wood stored in a woodshed behind the school. The teacher's desk was on a raised platform at the front of the room. Jennie fondly remembered....

    Jennie Ferguson (Turnbull) Cowan was born in the Mill Creek area near Galt in 1898, a daughter of Jared Turnbull. She was educated at Mill Creek School and at the Galt Collegiate Institute before graduating from the Toronto Normal School and the University of Toronto. She taught school in Bruce County, Kitchener and Galt. The latter positions assisted in developing a keen interest in the history of Galt and particularly of Waterloo County and she spent much of her life acquiring and sharing her knowledge of the area. She served as the president of the Waterloo Historical Society from 1951 to 1953 and, between 1940 and 1960 was a regular contributor to the Waterloo Historical Society's annual volume. In later years she was a more occasional contributor with her last article appearing in 1984. Mrs. Cowan was active in the Mill Creek Women's Institute and in 1941 and 1942 served on the Board of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario. She gave leadership in the Women's Institutes to compile the community histories named for Lady Tweedsmuir and served as London area curator. She felt strongly that these books were useful ways to preserve and share historical information. She was a charter member of the Ontario Pioneer Community Foundation that established the Doon Pioneer Village, now Doon Heritage Crossroads. In 1952 Mrs. Cowan acted as official historian for Waterloo County's centennial. She was on the research committee of the Waterloo County Hall of Fame and was herself elected to the Hall in 1978. Mrs. Cowan died at the age of 88 on November 15, 1986 and is buried in Mount View Cemetery.
