6	There are no birth or death records for this set of twins but family folklore suggest that they were born and died in Ramsay Township on the newly established homestead and were buried under a Oak tree on the property. It is also possible that youngest daughter at the time of arriving in Canada Elisabeth, born in Scotland in 1820 and died as a young child is also buried in the same location. This was a common practise as there were no cemeteries established at this time.	Duncan (I32981)
7	ROBERT DUNCAN Robert Duncan was born near Almonte Ontario, December 7, 1854. His parents, James and Elizabeth Duncan, had a family of eight boys and three girls. Robert was the eldest. As money was scarce Robert was obliged to leave home in his early teens to make his way in the world. Equipped with a team of horses and a sleigh he found work in logging camps along the Petawawa and Mississippi Rivers. Wages were a dollar a day. In the spring of each year he came back to help his father with the farm work. He would go back to the "shanty" as the camps were called, for the winter months. In the spring of 1878 he and some other young fellows decided to go West. They left Almonte on May 5th and travelled by train and boat to Emerson and finally to Winnipeg. They worked there for the summer. He told of getting his wagon, with a load, stuck in the Red River mud of what is now main street. The load was removed from the wagon but even then the wagon had to be taken apart to free itself. Having met some men who had been farther west, Robert decided on their advice to go too. The result was that he filed on a parcel of land the west half of 12-3-12. This land was owned and operated in recent years by his only son James Hamilton Duncan until his death, November 1972 in Pilot Mound. Robert then went back to Ontario logging camps for the winter. In the spring of 1879 James Duncan gave his eldest son, Robert a team of horses, a wagon and provisions for the trip west. Again he went to Emerson and then drove west along the Boundart Commission Trail to his homestead near Pilot Mound. This 100-mile trek was completed on May 29. Some grain was planted and a log house was built that summer. The remains of this pioneer dwelling exist on the present farm-site. This log house is a very special one. In 1879 there was not a minister or a church in which to conduct divine services. A meeting was held in Robert Duncan's log house to organize the first Sunday School. The next year, 1880, a meeting was held there to organize the Goudney School district. Until then the community was identified only by their post office, Preston, about three miles west of the present town of Pilot Mound. In 1880 Robert Duncan and William Butchart (who was later to marry Robert's sister, Margaret Jane) bought a horse powered threshing machine. They threshed most of the grain in the settlement that fall and winter as this was one of the first threshing machines in the area. In those days the harvested grain was stacked, pending threshing operations so that work on the land could continue until freeze-up. Robert Duncan returned home in the spring of 1881, returning to Pilot Mound in June with his bride, Ellen MacPherson Hamilton. The young bride could hardly visualize the ruggedness of the new country she was coming to, in comparison with the relatively gently and settled Ottawa Valley countryside which had been her home from birth. On the last leg of their trip from Emerson to the homestead, the young couple enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Mennonite homes as they passed through their communities. At last they reached the end of the hundred miles and arrived in the Goudney District. That summer the grass was so tall that even the cows seemed lost. When Ellen opened her kitchen door she could hear the cows mooing and running towards her but all she could see above the tall grass was their heads and tails. "Bear stories are always interesting, especially when they have the added interest of being true. One day when Robert was harvesting a field of oats with his three-horse binder he saw a bear coming towards him. At the same time a neighborhood "character" an old chap who loved to hunt and fish, and who dropped in frequently to visit the Duncans arrived on the scene. Unfortunately his gun was not powerful enough to reach the bear from his distance. Robert unhitched one of the three horses and mounted it. Horse and rider pressed the attack but the Duncan mount was a colt that had never been ridden and he ran wild. However, the battle continued with added force and finally the bear, exhausted, lay still on the ground to be dispatched at close range by the itinerant hunter. In the early 1900's a Mr Dearlove needed power for his newly-constructed brick yard north of town. He contacted Robert Duncan for the use of his steam engine which had replaced horsepower on the Duncan farm. It might be noted that the Duncan's second home succeeding the beloved log shack, was a spacious dwelling made of red brick from the Dearlove yard. It is no exaggeration to say that Robert Duncan was an active leader in the community endeavors. Before 1905 when the Statute Labor Law was in effect, he was a path master. This meant that he was to see to it that roads and trails were kept passable in his section of the township. In later years he served as a councillor in the Rural Municipality of Louise and President of the Pilot Mound Agricultural Society. During his tenure with that Society he promoted the formation of a Board of Lady Directors. It proved to be a valuable innovation. He was also a devoted church goer, serving as Sunday School superintendent and elder on the Presbyterian Church Session and following church union in 1925 he served with the United Church Session until his death in 1943. His wife Ellen had many talents and interests. She was renowned for baking and butter-making. Her baking skills were such that local merchants would have her test newly arrived flour shipments. She could tell them how many loaves could be made from a hundredweight. In 1911 she won a sweepstake prize for her butter making at the Winnipeg Exhibition, also first prize for a tub of butter at the Chicago Fair. She encouraged boys and girls in furthering farming skills, a work now done by the famous 4-H Clubs. She held sewing and cooking classes in the local school (after 4:00 PM.) She was a member of the Ladies Agricultural Society her husband founded, a Charter member of the Women's Institute, Life member of the Red Cross and life Member of the Women's Missionary Society. Robert and Ellen Duncan turned the farm over to Their only son Jim in 1930, retiring to Pilot Mound. Mrs Duncan passed away in 1937, her husband in 1943. Both of them had been truly public-spirited and contributed enormously to the economic and cultural health of the community they had seen grow from pioneer days. In the United Church at Pilot Mound are two beautiful candelabra, presented by members of the family in memory of their parents. These are fitting memorials to two who had shed the light of life on many a pathway.	Duncan, Robert James (I2331)

10	Rae Duncan She was a "family oriented" wife and mother who always went "beyond the call of duty", through the depression, war, illness and hard times as well as all the good times! Her dry sense of humor and good Scottish work ethic along with the ability to turn her hand to whatever - including "plowing a straight furrow" and her incredible ability to cook and bake are what we remember. In her later years she discovered "Bingo". She liked to win but she really enjoyed shouting "Bingo" and the getting together with other bingo fans several times a week in the summer. Mom/Rae: Thanks for showing us that good friends are hard to find, hard to leave, but impossible to forget! A Favorite poem: You did some good today You spoke something helpful along the way You spread a little happiness Said a kind word to someone in distress You could show a kindly deed Plant a tiny positive seed You gave someone a better start We remember your caring, loving heart.

13	3 September 2015 ? Alexander "Sandy" Stewart Alexander Stewart, known to many as "Sandy," was born in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland on December 7th, 1805.[i] He grew up the son of Dr. Alexander Stewart and Mary McLachlan, who married May 21st, 1805.[ii] Along with Sandy, the Stewarts had seven other children. There were four boys and four girls. The four boys accompanied their parents to the States in 1817. They set sail around September 1st, 1817. Supposedly, the Stewart family landed in New York, but there has been no evidence found to prove this. The Stewarts arrived in Carmi, Illinois on Christmas day in 1818. The family established Burnt Prairie, Illinois, where they built a farm. Dr. Stewart began studying medicine, which greatly interested him. His doctorate was in fact, in some other field, but there was no mention of what that was. His wife Mary also studied medicine. So she could accompany her husband as his nurse.[iii] Sandy and his brothers worked the farm. In 1820, another brother, James was welcomed to the Stewart family. He was the first white child born in the Burnt Prairie area. Two years later, another brother, William, was welcomed to the family. William later went on to become a Captain in the Civil War.[iv] In 1824, Sandy's parents sent for their four daughters back in Comrie, Scotland. Their voyage took three weeks. When they arrived in New York, their escort took their money and left them at the pier. An older gentleman, who carried a cane, encountered the girls huddled together and crying on the pier. After discovering who they were, he took the girls in and found them temporary homes. This man was Dr. Ferguson, an old classmate of Dr. Alexander Stewart's. After two years of trying to reach Dr. Stewart, someone from Burnt Prairie was taking a trip to New York and thought that the least he could do, after all Dr. Stewart had done for him, was look for his daughters. The man went to the same pier and found the same old man, Dr. Ferguson, and was taken to the girls.[v] During all this time, Sandy was learning the blacksmith trade. At this time, he also married. Sandy married Sarah Miller on January 27th, 1826. It was then, in 1827, that they left home and settled in Albion, Illinois.[vi] After his mother's death in 1862, Sandy's father, Dr. Stewart, with his failing eyesight, came to live with his son. Dr. Stewart died May 5th, 1865 from injuries received from a fall he took off his porch.[vii] Sandy Stewart and his wife Sarah had 15 children, having only six live to maturity. Sarah died April 20th, 1853, shortly after the birth of their youngest child. Sandy then married Emma Senseman (Sensaman) on April 23rd, 1856.[viii] Sandy remained a blacksmith for 16 years, until his health began to give way. He then focused his attention on being a merchant.[ix] According to the Edwards County Centennial Celebration, compiled by Walter Colyer in 1918, Sandy Stewart established a pork packing house in Albion in 1843 with a capacity of 3,000 head for the season.[x] Together, he and Emma led very busy lives, running their business and raising the children.[xi] Sandy Stewart died April 19th, 1884 at the age of 79 and was buried in Albion's first and largest cemetery, simply named Albion Cemetery. His wife, Emma, died on February 5th, 1897 at the age of 72 and was also buried in Albion Cemetery. https://familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/18857315	Stewart, Alexander "Sandy" (I5910)

He was born at Airdrie, Scotland on the 20th May, 1780, educated for the Gospel Ministry, at the University of Glasgow, and ordained at Edinburgh, March 4th, 1817. He had looked to Canada for some years as the scene of his future labors, and arriving at Perth as the Minister of the First Presbyterian Settlers, in June 1817, he entered at once on his public Ministry. Though he had many labors to go through and hardships to endure in a new country, he never repented the choice he had made. He had the honor of being the first to preach the Gospel in Lanark, Ramsay, Beckwith, Smith's Falls, and other places, besides Perth; at all of which there are now flourishing congregations. It was his desire that his friends at a distance should be informed that he died in the firm faith of that glorious Gospel which he had with so much pleasure, preached to others, and in the unclouded hope and prospect of a glorious immortality beyond death and the grave. His last illness was merely the decline of nature; his increasing infirmities had compelled him to cease his public labours about three months ago; but he was confined to his room only two weeks, during which he suffered very little pain, and was uniformly calm and happy. His latter end was peace." [Col. 2, Pg. 3; The Bathurst Courier; Friday, 21 Aug 1857; Vol. XXIII, No. 45]	Bell, Rev. William M. A. (I37887)

There are no birth or death records for this set of twins but family folklore suggest that they were born and died in Ramsay Township on the newly established homestead and were buried under a Oak tree on the property. It is also possible that youngest daughter at the time of arriving in Canada Elisabeth, born in Scotland in 1820 and died as a young child is also buried in the same location. This was a common practise as there were no cemeteries established at this time.

Duncan (I32981)

ROBERT DUNCAN

Robert Duncan was born near Almonte Ontario, December 7, 1854. His parents, James and Elizabeth Duncan, had a family of eight boys and three girls. Robert was the eldest.
As money was scarce Robert was obliged to leave home in his early teens to make his way in the world. Equipped with a team of horses and a sleigh he found work in logging camps along the Petawawa and Mississippi Rivers. Wages were a dollar a day. In the spring of each year he came back to help his father with the farm work. He would go back to the "shanty" as the camps were called, for the winter months.
In the spring of 1878 he and some other young fellows decided to go West. They left Almonte on May 5th and travelled by train and boat to Emerson and finally to Winnipeg. They worked there for the summer. He told of getting his wagon, with a load, stuck in the Red River mud of what is now main street. The load was removed from the wagon but even then the wagon had to be taken apart to free itself. Having met some men who had been farther west, Robert decided on their advice to go too. The result was that he filed on a parcel of land the west half of 12-3-12. This land was owned and operated in recent years by his only son James Hamilton Duncan until his death, November 1972 in Pilot Mound. Robert then went back to Ontario logging camps for the winter.
In the spring of 1879 James Duncan gave his eldest son, Robert a team of horses, a wagon and provisions for the trip west. Again he went to Emerson and then drove west along the Boundart Commission Trail to his homestead near Pilot Mound. This 100-mile trek was completed on May 29. Some grain was planted and a log house was built that summer. The remains of this pioneer dwelling exist on the present farm-site. This log house is a very special one. In 1879 there was not a minister or a church in which to conduct divine services. A meeting was held in Robert Duncan's log house to organize the first Sunday School. The next year, 1880, a meeting was held there to organize the Goudney School district. Until then the community was identified only by their post office, Preston, about three miles west of the present town of Pilot Mound.
In 1880 Robert Duncan and William Butchart (who was later to marry Robert's sister, Margaret Jane) bought a horse powered threshing machine. They threshed most of the grain in the settlement that fall and winter as this was one of the first threshing machines in the area. In those days the harvested grain was stacked, pending threshing operations so that work on the land could continue until freeze-up.
Robert Duncan returned home in the spring of 1881, returning to Pilot Mound in June with his bride, Ellen MacPherson Hamilton. The young bride could hardly visualize the ruggedness of the new country she was coming to, in comparison with the relatively gently and settled Ottawa Valley countryside which had been her home from birth. On the last leg of their trip from Emerson to the homestead, the young couple enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Mennonite homes as they passed through their communities. At last they reached the end of the hundred miles and arrived in the Goudney District. That summer the grass was so tall that even the cows seemed lost. When Ellen opened her kitchen door she could hear the cows mooing and running towards her but all she could see above the tall grass was their heads and tails.
"Bear stories are always interesting, especially when they have the added interest of being true. One day when Robert was harvesting a field of oats with his three-horse binder he saw a bear coming towards him. At the same time a neighborhood "character" an old chap who loved to hunt and fish, and who dropped in frequently to visit the Duncans arrived on the scene. Unfortunately his gun was not powerful enough to reach the bear from his distance. Robert unhitched one of the three horses and mounted it. Horse and rider pressed the attack but the Duncan mount was a colt that had never been ridden and he ran wild. However, the battle continued with added force and finally the bear, exhausted, lay still on the ground to be dispatched at close range by the itinerant hunter.
In the early 1900's a Mr Dearlove needed power for his newly-constructed brick yard north of town. He contacted Robert Duncan for the use of his steam engine which had replaced horsepower on the Duncan farm. It might be noted that the Duncan's second home succeeding the beloved log shack, was a spacious dwelling made of red brick from the Dearlove yard.
It is no exaggeration to say that Robert Duncan was an active leader in the community endeavors. Before 1905 when the Statute Labor Law was in effect, he was a path master. This meant that he was to see to it that roads and trails were kept passable in his section of the township. In later years he served as a councillor in the Rural Municipality of Louise and President of the Pilot Mound Agricultural Society. During his tenure with that Society he promoted the formation of a Board of Lady Directors. It proved to be a valuable innovation.
He was also a devoted church goer, serving as Sunday School superintendent and elder on the Presbyterian Church Session and following church union in 1925 he served with the United Church Session until his death in 1943.
His wife Ellen had many talents and interests. She was renowned for baking and butter-making. Her baking skills were such that local merchants would have her test newly arrived flour shipments. She could tell them how many loaves could be made from a hundredweight.
In 1911 she won a sweepstake prize for her butter making at the Winnipeg Exhibition, also first prize for a tub of butter at the Chicago Fair. She encouraged boys and girls in furthering farming skills, a work now done by the famous 4-H Clubs. She held sewing and cooking classes in the local school (after 4:00 PM.)
She was a member of the Ladies Agricultural Society her husband founded, a Charter member of the Women's Institute, Life member of the Red Cross and life Member of the Women's Missionary Society. Robert and Ellen Duncan turned the farm over to Their only son Jim in 1930, retiring to Pilot Mound. Mrs Duncan passed away in 1937, her husband in 1943. Both of them had been truly public-spirited and contributed enormously to the economic and cultural health of the community they had seen grow from pioneer days.
In the United Church at Pilot Mound are two beautiful candelabra, presented by members of the family in memory of their parents. These are fitting memorials to two who had shed the light of life on many a pathway.

Rae
Duncan

She was a "family oriented" wife and mother who always went "beyond the call of duty", through the depression, war, illness and hard times as well as all the good times! Her dry sense of humor and good Scottish work ethic along with the ability to turn her hand to whatever - including "plowing a straight furrow" and her incredible ability to cook and bake are what we remember.
In her later years she discovered "Bingo". She liked to win but she really enjoyed shouting "Bingo" and the getting together with other bingo fans several times a week in the summer.
Mom/Rae: Thanks for showing us that good friends are hard to find, hard to leave, but impossible to forget!

A Favorite poem:
You did some good today
You spoke something helpful along the way
You spread a little happiness
Said a kind word to someone in distress
You could show a kindly deed
Plant a tiny positive seed
You gave someone a better start
We remember your caring, loving heart.

Alexander "Sandy" Stewart

Alexander Stewart, known to many as "Sandy," was born in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland on December 7th, 1805.[i]

He grew up the son of Dr. Alexander Stewart and Mary McLachlan, who married May 21st, 1805.[ii]

Along with Sandy, the Stewarts had seven other children. There were four boys and four girls. The four boys accompanied their parents to the States in 1817. They set sail around September 1st, 1817. Supposedly, the Stewart family landed in New York, but there has been no evidence found to prove this. The Stewarts arrived in Carmi, Illinois on Christmas day in 1818. The family established Burnt Prairie, Illinois, where they built a farm.

Dr. Stewart began studying medicine, which greatly interested him. His doctorate was in fact, in some other field, but there was no mention of what that was. His wife Mary also studied medicine. So she could accompany her husband as his nurse.[iii]

Sandy and his brothers worked the farm. In 1820, another brother, James was welcomed to the Stewart family. He was the first white child born in the Burnt Prairie area. Two years later, another brother, William, was welcomed to the family. William later went on to become a Captain in the Civil War.[iv]

In 1824, Sandy's parents sent for their four daughters back in Comrie, Scotland. Their voyage took three weeks. When they arrived in New York, their escort took their money and left them at the pier. An older gentleman, who carried a cane, encountered the girls huddled together and crying on the pier. After discovering who they were, he took the girls in and found them temporary homes. This man was Dr. Ferguson, an old classmate of Dr. Alexander Stewart's.

After two years of trying to reach Dr. Stewart, someone from Burnt Prairie was taking a trip to New York and thought that the least he could do, after all Dr. Stewart had done for him, was look for his daughters. The man went to the same pier and found the same old man, Dr. Ferguson, and was taken to the girls.[v]

During all this time, Sandy was learning the blacksmith trade. At this time, he also married. Sandy married Sarah Miller on January 27th, 1826. It was then, in 1827, that they left home and settled in Albion, Illinois.[vi]

After his mother's death in 1862, Sandy's father, Dr. Stewart, with his failing eyesight, came to live with his son. Dr. Stewart died May 5th, 1865 from injuries received from a fall he took off his porch.[vii]

Sandy Stewart and his wife Sarah had 15 children, having only six live to maturity. Sarah died April 20th, 1853, shortly after the birth of their youngest child. Sandy then married Emma Senseman (Sensaman) on April 23rd, 1856.[viii]

Sandy remained a blacksmith for 16 years, until his health began to give way. He then focused his attention on being a merchant.[ix] According to the Edwards County Centennial Celebration, compiled by Walter Colyer in 1918, Sandy Stewart established a pork packing house in Albion in 1843 with a capacity of 3,000 head for the season.[x] Together, he and Emma led very busy lives, running their business and raising the children.[xi]

Sandy Stewart died April 19th, 1884 at the age of 79 and was buried in Albion's first and largest cemetery, simply named Albion Cemetery. His wife, Emma, died on February 5th, 1897 at the age of 72 and was also buried in Albion Cemetery.

"DIED.
At Perth on Sabbath morning, the 16th instant, the Rev. William Bell, A. M., the Minister of the First Presbyterian Church, in the seventy-eigth year of his age, and the fourty-first of his ministry. He was born at Airdrie, Scotland on the 20th May, 1780, educated for the Gospel Ministry, at the University of Glasgow, and ordained at Edinburgh, March 4th, 1817.
He had looked to Canada for some years as the scene of his future labors, and arriving at Perth as the Minister of the First Presbyterian Settlers, in June 1817, he entered at once on his public Ministry. Though he had many labors to go through and hardships to endure in a new country, he never repented the choice he had made.
He had the honor of being the first to preach the Gospel in Lanark, Ramsay, Beckwith, Smith's Falls, and other places, besides Perth; at all of which there are now flourishing congregations. It was his desire that his friends at a distance should be informed that he died in the firm faith of that glorious Gospel which he had with so much pleasure, preached to others, and in the unclouded hope and prospect of a glorious immortality beyond death and the grave. His last illness was merely the decline of nature; his increasing infirmities had compelled him to cease his public labours about three months ago; but he was confined to his room only two weeks, during which he suffered very little pain, and was uniformly calm and happy. His latter end was peace."

"He embarked in the oil business as a producer, and continued so engaged until 1902, when he sold part of his oil interests, a few years later, however, resuming business. During his thirty-seven years of oil producing, he has probably brought from the secret recesses of the earth enough of the useful fluid to float one of the largest ocean ships. Mr. Kirpatrick has interest in two hundred wells, all of great producing capacity."

"Obituary. Died at this residence, in Beckwith, U. C. on the 12th of September, the Reverend Doctor Buchanan, in the 74th year of his age, and 45th of his Ministry. His sufferings previous to his death which were long and painful, he bore with great patience and christian resignation to the will of his heavenly Father. By his death the church has lost an eminent Presbyterian Minister - his wife, an affectionate husband - and his family, an indulgent parent. He was indeed a faithful servant of Christ, and has left a widow and nine children to lament his loss."

[Col. 4, Pg. 3; The Bathurst Courier, Friday, 25 Sep 1835; Vol. II, No. 2 ]
