MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1872.
On the Death of "Margaret Tait" 1847
The Sunbeams gild the woody height
And through the waving branches play.
Unwished for dream night retires
I joyless view returning day.
I wander here alone forlorn
And care nae what may next befa'.
Tears trickling down to mix wi "<u>Thine</u>"
Lamenting Her that's taen awa.
In vain for one the [illegible] blooms
And sweetly blossoms every tree
Pale Death has cast his shadow o'er
My Friend, my Sister, where is she?
Ye warblers cease your plaintive strains
Ye green leaves aff your branches fa'.
Come dreamy nature mourn wi' me
Death's left your fairest flower awa.
See down her "<u>Lover's</u>" manly cheeks,
The tears of woe are gushing fast.
The future seems a dreary Blank
He daurna view the blissful pact.
Oh haste, oh haste, ye wintry winds
And clothe the Plains in sleety snow
Oh spring nae mair return again
Ye bring nae her that's taen awa.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1872.
But the green grass is withered no flowers blooming there
A few leafless branches are a' that remain
Like dreams of my boyhood now shattered & broken
Tell a things are changed since the "days that are gone"
I sought then the "Rock" that o'erhung the clear water
Fond hoping that time there had lightly passed o'er
But the brown moss had crept o'er the letters there graven
And dark looked the waves as they rolled to the shore,
It is vain then I cried to seek joy in the present
The past were but visions, no traces remain.
As nature has changed so the hearts have been faithless
That vowed they'd be true "in the days that are gone"
G. -
Friendship's Valentine -
Written to Mary McGill Feb. 14th 1848 -
No tender tales have I to tell
Of Lover's Joy and Pain
When hopes and fears usurp the sway
And both alternate reign
No bleeding heart, a sacrifice
I bring to Venus' Shrine
No Mary this, alone accept
As "Friendship's Valentine"

TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1872.
In vain, were beauty, wit & grace
They're shrouded a' in ceaseless gloom
In vain were love or friendship's tears
They drop but on her closing tomb -
Fair blooms the flower at early morn
Ere noon how oft the blossoms fa'!
In sweetest friendship yet we'll meet
Where Death nae mair can part us a' -
G. -
The Days That are gone -
Written on Revisiting Amherst Island 1849 -
Again Spring reviving her winter seared blossoms
Now basks her green mantle in Phoebus' bright ray
The wild forest songsters their notes are a pouring
The wild flowers a blooming their beauties display-
And I (like the Swallow from the land of her exile)
Again have returned but to wander alone -
Through scenes that still fling their sad memories round me
Ah scenes! that were dear in "the days that are gone"-
Again I have roamed through the grove & green meadow,
By the rough winding shore where in years gone I strayed,
I have lain 'neath the "<u>Tree</u>" that I well may remember,
As it waved its green branches a sweet summer shade.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1872.
I bid you not- remember me,
As I must- thee and thine.
But ever count- me as a friend
And Friendship's Valentine -
G. -
"Katie loe's me"
("My first attempt" - On parting with Katie McColl
who left Fortingal for her home in the Island of Mull
Nov. 1844 - ) - <u>We never met again</u>. -
Now bleak November's angry blast
Roars through the stormy glen
And winter drives his snawy car
Out o'er the cheerless plain -
But why should I fear then or wherefore be sad?
Oh what makes the tear glisten oft in my 'ee?
For what seems before me but joy and rejoicing
Since weel I loe Katie, and Katie loes me.
It's no the dreary winter storm
That gies me now complain
It's no the withered broomy knowe
That gies me ony pain.
But aye there is something that weel I could tell
And frae that sma' something I've meikle to dree
I look to the future wi care and wi sorrow
Though weel I loe Katie and Katie loes me -

THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1872.
As Larks mount high on Morning Wings
The rising sun to cheer
So we with light and joyous hearts
Oft hail the opening year -
But Ah! long ere his noontide beams
How cruel fates combine
To blight the hopes we cherished ance
And change a Valentine
When first life's opening scene I viewed
From boyhood's sunny bowers
Joy spent its sweets in every grove
My pathway strewed with flowers
I sought a rose, a summer rose
Around my heart to twine
But blighting winter came and nipped
My blooming Valentine -
Time was when I could fondly love
And kindly yours return
But hope has spent its cheering flame
Save memory's ashes burn.
The withered flower, the blighted rose
Will bloom with summer's shine
But my lone heart must ever mourn
A lang lost Valentine.
Oh! Mary, not in future years
My one request disclaim -
Give me at times, a <u>careless</u> thought -
A link in memory's chain.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1872.
And then I'd sadly sit and think
How soon you would forget me
And happy how I might have been
Had I but earlier met thee
Adieu my dear may joy be thine
The day that knows no ending
May you never feel the pangs of love
That are now my bosom rending -
Lake Ontario - 1847 -
Come around me all ye fair maids
Ye sprightly and aye gay
Come fill your glass both one and all
And pledge a sailor boy
Then let it here go round and round
Not one of you say no
Here's a health to all the "<u>Jackets Blue"</u>
On Lake Ontario -
Chorus - On Lake On-ta-ri-o

SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1872.
For the Beltane licht will no be out
Ere you are far awa
And towering hills and rolling floods
Will lie between us two -
When many long years have passed and gane bye
And Time's ruining hand has made baith fancies jee
Wha then can tell when we next meet again,
"If I will loe Katie or Katie loe me"? -
G. -
To Mary McGill - 1847 -
I must confes my Mary dear
That your charms in love have bound me
I'd give the World but for one night
To lie with my Arms around thee -
Oh! lightly would the hours slip past
Aye the longest night in Winter
If kissing and embracing thee
But alas I dare not venture -
For bonnier lads are courting thee
And richer far than I am
And truer love they yet may be
For my sake pass not by them
For I could smile and wish thee joy
Though to another married
One farewell kiss all I would ask
Ere from me you were carried -

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1872.
And when our Watch is ended
We quietly walk below
To dream we have them in our arms
On Lake Ontario -
The Old Sea Dogs may laugh at us
And say we're something green
'Cause we never "Crossed the Line" mayhaps
Or round "The Horn" have been
But a thunder Squall off Cobourg Light
Would better let them know
I have seen the bravest hearts made quail
On Lake Ontario -

Playing Beau
Tommy, lets play. That you're my Beau,
Who's come to visit me
"Good evening, what a great surprise!
You're just in time for tea".
Now Tommy you must squeeze my hand
With all your might and main
"Somebody" always does it so
To my big sister Jane";
Gracious! You've hurt me horribly
How dreadful you can be
If other girls allow that style
Don't try it sir with me,
Then Tommy you must look forlorn
As though I'd caused you pain
"Somebody" always looks like that
With my big sister Jane"-
Forgive you, I don't think I shall - Pick up my Worsted please -
You've made me drop them on the floor - You're such a horrid tease.
I may forgive you if you stay, Quite still and hold this skein,
"Somebody" never dares refuse, With my big sister Jane -
"Kiss and make friends"? I've half a mind - To go and call mamma,
"Kiss and make friends"? Of course I'll no - Oh what a scamp you are -
Kiss you! indeed you awful man - You're crazy that is plain -
"Somebody" always does it though - To my big sister Jane -

The Social Glass -
A glass of good Whisky I'll take when I'm weary
My blood it'll warm and my Spirits will cheer,
And when I sit down I intend to be merry,
So fill up a bumper and Send it round here.
I Scarcely Can take half an hour for my leisure
To tell you the truth I am wrought very sair,
My Spade and my lassie is a' my hale pleasure
We'll baith take a rest and "We'll hae a drap mair"-
Contented I sit and Contented I labour,
Contented I drink and Contented I Sing,
I never fa' out or dispute with my Neighbour
For that is a mean and Contentious thing.
There are few, very few, ever hear me complaining,
Though Sometimes a load of Oppression I wear,
But what is the use of a man e'er repining
For, Aye when he tastes; he maun hae a drap mair.
'Tis little I know of the laws of this nation,
There's one thing I know that my debts I must pay;
While others are Cursing the heavy taxation
But Since it's the law we are bound to obey -
There's one thing I know very little of Politic
Little I know and as little I Care,
Happy's the man that is free from all knavish tricks,
Push round the Jug and we'll hae a drap mair.
Now I maun awa to my bonnie wee Lassie
For Fear in my absence that She should think lang,
<u>Many a dreich Mile She is frae her Mammy,</u>
To vex her mither would be a great wrong -

But the Whiskey's sae guid that I doubt- she maun wait a wee.
Of Patience my lassie has got a great share
Happy he's wedded to whae there's economy,
Call in the Waiter "We'll hae a Drap mair"-
Sae come noble waiter bring's in a big Noggin
I mean a full pint of your best "Innishowen"
And when that is done I intend to be joggin
Wi the canniest- of care We'll gang merrily hame-
Here's "God Bless us a'" and I hope that's nae treason
The Whiskey begins for to speak in my ear,

We'll a' meet in friendship and hae a Drap Mair.

"The Baby Died"
They came together to see me
The Old woman Said and sighed
"One was tall the other was small
I think the little one died"-
She had a trick of sighing
And she heeded not- what she said
But Oh! how could she say to me
"Is the little one dead"?

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1872.
For Strange to me seemed any doubt
Of that which did betide;
Because the light of my life went out
When the little one died.
And every leaf on every tree
Since then to me has said,
And will forever say to me
"Is the little one dead?"-
And every where I see the room
And all the weeping eyes,
I hear the tender terrible words
While the little one dies.
And every where I feel the blank,
With empty arms out-spread -
Till I would give all those that live
"for my little one dead"-
And if I hear that one is sick,
I shrink and turn aside -
Ever I fear that Death is near,
Because <u>my</u> little one died -
And if I hear that one grows well,
I lift a cruel cry -
"Why? Oh why? Should any get well,
And just my little one die"-
And through my heart the word went down,
There ever to abide -
Why? Oh why? Am I alive?
Since my little one died.

While with her trick of singing
Again the old woman said
“Are you tall the other two small
Is the little one dead?” (Terrible Significance)
But if your Mother had two little heads? She had one
[The youngest] her mother gave a shelter in her
At the time came to see her, the song tell the rest—
“The fall Leaves
To them among the fallen leaves
Young children, show they
And laugh to see the yellow things
So rustling on their way.
They’ll twinkle in the hush-down,
The autumn wind each one,
For there is a place where sun should be,
Or a rainbow gilt to see.
They’ll dancing from the [illegible] song,
And when they have all gone,
The last of nature’s children [illegible]
Is present to our own.
The [illegible] among the fallen leaves—the little [illegible]
That [illegible] [illegible] a little bird, [illegible] [illegible]
The trees will [illegible] [illegible] beneath the [illegible] trees,
And the colors kindle in our eyes. It leaves the air to [illegible].
While going for the cold gray sky, Clouds are in the rain.
We wish the old ones all [illegible], And they go flying once again.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 7, 1872
We stood among the fallen leaves
in Autumn’s bright prime,
When just our [illegible] hearts begin
to live the olden time.
And as we grow old and think
Of so many a year not passed,
We may make the old and [illegible] too,
[illegible] in the [illegible] past.
And the carnations now, perhaps
Strangers forget a cheek.
Come back to us those memories leaves
we would have [illegible] or make.
We stand among the fallen leaves
in our own autumn days,
And listening to our feeble hopes,
[illegible] children say.
We look not back to long ago
Yet all we know has been,
For “we must” for we may not live
To see our own children’s [illegible].
Yet as we see the years [illegible] lean
of [illegible] in [illegible],
Childhood without its return—
The past fills our hearts.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1872
— A Crimean Incident — <u>1856</u>
“Give us a song!” the soldiers cried,
The sentry, tobacco guarding.
When he heard a gun of the “Camp Alive”
Had ceased for a time from firing.
The dark Redan in silent sleep
Lay, grim and threatening under,
And the tawny muzzle of the “Malakoff”
No longer belched its thunder—
“There was a pause”—the guardsman said
“We storm the fort tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow”—
They lay along the Battery’s side
Below the smoking cannon—
Poor hearts from <u>Crimea</u>—“The Clyde”
And from the banks of <u>Shannon</u>—
They sang of love, and not of fame
Though that was Britain’s glory.
Each heart recalled a different <u>name</u>
But all sang “<u>Annie Laurie.</u>”
Once after [illegible] caught up the song,
While it tender [illegible],
Pure like an anthem rich and strong.
Their “<u>Battle-eve Confession.”</u>
“Dear girl!” thy name, he dared not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier’s cheek
Was washed at the thought [illegible].

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1872.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset's embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How British love remembers.
And once again a "fire of Hell" (Feu d'enfer)
Rained on the Russian quarters;
With screams of shot, and bursts of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.
But Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer, dumb & gone;
And Highland Mary mourns for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie".—
"Bayard Taylor"

A written representation of a document.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1872.
Rec.d Copies of "Christian Times" containing Picture
and Biographical sketch of <u>"Brother John</u>" — am sorry that
in sketching his life (that is the early part) they did not
apply to "His <u>Brother</u> <u>George"</u> — I think I could have
given, more particulars and guaranteed them all
more reliable — No need then of <u>"Soaring"</u> paragraphs —
— What I know of <u>"Brother John"</u> —
My first recollection (a chubby boy 5 years old) I have of John is on a sunday
evening after Mr Ross's school was dismissed (we were <u>then</u> was all
worshippers of <u>"Livery"</u>) the moon had risen, and it was a lovely
night — My Brother & Miss Nichol had walked home together
with "Dadd" in the background — "Brother John" was behind
and as they parted at the "Gate" he came up, dresed in his
smart new "Suit" — (provided by "Mr Miller of Pleasanthill")
invisible brown with bright brass buttons — "a <u>flunkey"</u>
He bowed to Miss Nichol, nodded to his mother, and took
no notice of his <u>"Brother George"</u> — I was pleased — He
wheeled and ran, and the only thing that remains
distinctly embedded in my memory, is the shape
of the "Coat-skirt" glancing in the moonlight — In my boyish
fancy I had never seen anything "half so beautiful" — It was
not a "Long tailed Blue" by no means — but it was something
between the "Military" & the "Undertaker" which convinced me that
<u>"Brother John"</u> was on the "high Road to promotion" —
The next memory I have is <u>"John as a Weaver</u>" having left
Pleasanthill he betook to<u> weaving</u> in the village of "Damhead"
and passed the season there. This time is to me a very

indistinct one and of which I have little recollection, only
I remember him in the short "Fustian Jacket" and Pants of
the same material which was then the invariable dress
of the "Coarse Linen <u>Weaver"</u> - I remember my Father going to
Kinfauns and the pleasure we all felt when John was
duly apprenticed to the <u>"Gardening</u><u> Trade"</u> for it was not
then accounted a "Profession" - But it seemed then to be the object
of his highest ambition and he gave his whole soul for a season
to it - became an enthusiastic Botanist - and at the Annual
Horticultural Show held in the <u>"Fair</u> <u>City</u>" came off as Second
Class Prizeman for a <u>"Bouquet"</u> - and First Class for "Dried
Specimens of the Native Flora". The Local Journal adding in an
encouraging tone to the report "That John Wright was only a
Two Years Apprentice". The fact of seeing his name in print
seemed to us, as several steps up the Ladder of fame already,
I saw little of John during these three years, but under the
guidance of Revd Mr McLaggan Parish Minister and
Mr Stewart Schoolmaster, He seemed to have prosecuted
his studies to some advantage, several months before his
Apprenticeship closed it was rumored he was to leave the
Trade and go to College, this was in 1839 - Father and all
his <u>best</u> friends tried to dissuade him from the rash venture,
He had no money and Father was unable to help, but he had
friends aiding and abetting that we knew not of -
Mr Ross his "Sunday School Teacher" earnestly reasoned on the
difficult undertaking and the all but impossibility of his
being able to persevere and obtain a Standing at College

without much preparatory training and without a <u>Patron</u>, "If
my own talents <u>will</u> not patronize me, I will be willing to
give in, but then I must first try" was his answer to all
the reasons urged by Mr Ross to induce him to abandon the
scheme— Till the old Gentleman with tears in his eyes
confessed that "He had been only <u>trying him"</u> and the path
he himself had chosen, was the very one that He (Mr Ross)
had mapped out for him years before in the Sunday School,
and that his labour could not be all in vain if He could
live to see John Waight a successful Minister of the Gospel—
this was followed by the gift of <u>"Five Pounds"</u> and several
other <u>"nameless presents"</u> which must have proved extremely
useful both to the pocket and scanty wardrobe of the would
be student— He entered St. Andrews that season and
was successful in gaining a small bursary (Ten Pounds I think)
which also aided him through the session— His first vacation
was spent partly at home and partly around Kinfawns. After this
I saw but little of him. The <u>"Voluntary Controversy"</u> was then at its
height and he at this time was a staunch "Established Churchman"
Woodside had then a popular library, founded and supported
entirely by "Thomas Ross" in connection with the Woodside School
Open on Monday evenings <u>"free to all"</u> the Theologians & Politicians
made the library their weekly head quarters. Much discussion in
a desultory way, had been indulged in by both parties, Finally
John was induced to challenge the leader of the Voluntaries
a Mr John Haggart, a worthy man and an Elder in the U.P.
Church of Coupar Angus (Mr Marshall's) to debate in public

the basis of their belief and action - The debate lasted three
consecutive nights and excitement ran very high - Tempers were
lost and all but blows were exchanged by the backers of each -
I was there every night but of course the debate "per se" made
but a slight impression on my youthful brain - I mind of the
terms "<u>Voluntaries and Socialists"</u> being hurled from "our side of
the house" - <u>"Erastians</u> and <u>State</u> <u>paid</u> clergy" resounded from
the other - "The lads in Fustian" (the Woodside Weavers) who at that
time were as intensely "Established" as they afterwards became "Free"
gave a hearty encore, when the half Poetic half Prophetic Rhapsodies
of Isaiah were quoted as proving the base on which rested our
State Churchism - "Lengthen the cords & strengthen the stakes" - for
Kings & Queens shall be nursing Fathers & nursing Mothers
(so they held to be the evident meaning of the passage) to this our
"Established Kirk of Scotland" - while a clapping of hands
and a shuffling of feet followed on Honest John Haggart
laying down as an incontrovertible plank of his belief
that "the example of the Apostle Paul was of far more
importance to us as Christians," "who labored with his hands
and was chargeable to no man" - This much of the general
drift of the debate I do remember but little else - The "sword of
the Civil Magistrate" and the Spiritual Power of the Head of the
Church, were to me alike (in those days) a "Terra incognita"
and I had no wish to explore, satisfied, like many of my elders
with, what "our side" held was the truth and all else error -
Strange freaks, however, were played with these "solid foundations"
of belief during the next decade, and many a cherished opinion

that knew them then, knew them, "no more for ever" - I remember -
something broke up the discussion before it came to its natural
conclusion, and neither party was exactley satisfied. A newspaper
controversy was the result - in which stronger language was used
than was either seemly or charitable - Daniel McIntosh the little
knock-kneed schoolmaster of Woodside (a Baptist of the old school)
taking a leading part - however the Churchmen proud of their
young champion who in the language of their opponents had got
"his hands clear of the trade" determined on a Testimonial -
And I have no doubt that Dr Wright of Southampton, whatever
may now be his opinions of the merits of the controversy, looks
back with the highest pleasure, on that summer evening, when
his old School fellows, and companions at the loom, met and
under the guidance of James Strachan, presented him with
a handsome "Silver Watch & Chain" both as a mark of esteem
for the individual and also as an appreciation of the "fearless
exponent" of the cause which they held so dear -
But dark days were now lowering over the "Porter Lodge of
Keithock". John had gone to college for the Winter Session
our "Mother" took ill after harvest - and was bedfast - during
the Winter he made one hasty visit during her illness and
the next was to her funeral in March 1860, though remembering
distinctly enough all the events as they happened there is a want
of unity for a year at this time that I cannot account for -
Brother William went to learn shoemaking - May & I & Baby Jim
were left to keep house - Father ever at work from six to six.
John paid us short visits - but I began to feel "He no longer

reach me until he had sailed for Europe. I know not how
he felt but his letter left me ready to cry out "My God! My God!
why hast thou forsaken me?" – I had counted the months, weeks &
days from first hearing of his coming – not doubting he would give
me timely warning of his arrival – It was not to be, and
I felt really and truly then that I had bidden him a last
Farewell Ten years before – I have only received a stray letter
at long and uncertain dates since – the world around him knows
much more of his public career than I pretend to do –
His has been a hard working life, he began with a "Purpose", stuck
to it and has been successful – though I am rather disappointed
at his accepting an L.L.D. from an American College, after the
very decided <u>"Southern Views"</u> he held during the progress of
the War – I have hastily sketched only the Salient points of his life
and now when I glance over I feel how little<u> I do know</u> – His
Secret Struggles with Poverty and class prejudice none can tell
but himself. I remember when he went to St. Andrews he boarded
with the Toll Keeper, Andrew Mitchell at something like<u> "Five</u>
<u>Shillings"</u> a week. Which furnished Porridge & Milk three
times a day – And in vacation time I got from him many
valuable lessons as "how to renovate Broadcloth by the use of
Soap and Logwood chips", often assisting him in these labours,
and making "auld claes look amaist as weel as new" –
Is amusing to think the "Boy" thus engaged at home in vacation
time – in college was <s>at the same time</s> Friend & Companion
of Professor Tennant, Sir David Brewster, & Dr Chalmers,
last but not least the bosom friend and for years the chief

Stella Amherst Island Feby. 13th 1879
I have chosen this day, being the birth day of our "Dear departed
Pet Nellie" who was born this day twelve years ago, and
who in her short life though she suffered much was ever
patient and cheerful, full of mirth and glee, until she
became the centre of the household, when attending school
six years ago a severe pain struck into her thigh which the
doctors declared Neuralgia but which turned out to be hip
disease and she suffered at times the greatest agony, at
last Dr Evans of Kingston injected chloroform into the hip joint
which gave her instant relief, but the limb remained senseless
and she had to walk on crutches, later in the season
a tumour appeared and the leg had to be opened near
the knee which continued to run during the fall and winter
Nelly still hopping around, this at last closed but it had
done its work, the thigh bone was in part dislocated, and
the sinews had shrunk or wasted away, and this leg
ceased to grow in proportion, but Nelly being free from pain
threw away the crutches and preferred a single cane — her
greatest distress was now that she could not attend school
a high heeled boot was got for her and with this she managed
better, kept reading and studying at home and made good
progress, about three years ago she contracted intermitting fever
which brought her to the verge of the grave, for weeks she hovered
on the borders of the "Debatable Land" but at last threw it off and
slowly gained strength, after this she became more cheerful than ever

it is mine, after a time I laid it back across her bosom, and no
perceptible movement was she seen to make. after this, about 3 O clock
in the afternoon she ceased to breathe, friends gathered in but I
turned my face to the Wall. The first death in our family—
She was buried on Sunday 29th Dec'r 1872—
Need I add more? Nelly is gone but her life work
was finished, and she has left impressions on all that
can never be erased, we are thankful for the few
years she was spared to brighten and enliven our
home, and through our tears can only exclaim
"May we die the death of the Righteous and, my^our
latter end be like hers"—
Feb. 14
Seven weary weeks have passed since "the funeral"
and I am now able to be up daily, although I have
not been out of the house it appears like an age.
Sarah has suffered much but has kept up through all and
all the family have done what they could to contribute to
the general comfort. All felt the grief but strove to hide as
much as possible. We had many letters of sympathy and of
condolence none of which touched me more than one from^another J. W. Bell
Reeve of Camden and from the Rev'd T. G. Smith. A public resolution
of sympathy for one in affliction was also passed by the County Council
Being unable to attend their meeting or to stand again I lost
my seat as Reeve, and now I am not sorry for it, if ever I re-enter
I can now devote all my time and attention to our home.

Sunday Feb 23' 1879
"Our Silver Wedding day"
Twenty five years ago this day, Sarah Polly and myself were
married, by Rev'd John Scott (now of Emerson), Annie, Nelly, & Susie
had been giving us sly hints after Harvest of the coming anniversary
but the events intervening had brushed them all aside and the day
was spent in quiet melancholy, Sarah went up in the afternoon
to the Manse and returned with a severe headache, I was
affrighted for it seemed a "fac simile" of my own case, and
we used the same treatment with effect— and recovered.
Looking back over these years, though ours has not been an
eventful history, it has not been all sunshine nor all dark as
it once appeared to me— Just two years after our marriage
and before we had anything <u>"gathered"</u> I was mysteriously struck
with Epilepsy, which disabled me for 10 years, during which time
I earned almost nothing— but got better during the year 1860 and
began to keep a small store, which eventually developed into a
larger one Thomas Polly going into partnership with me, this con-
tinued for seven years when I continued alone for seven years
more, in 1873 we bought the Farm and as the Boys were growing
up it furnished them plenty of employment and up to this date
has kept them together, we had now Eight Children in all, health
and active, only our "Dear Nellie" was not to be spared, the smiling
face looks down on me now from her frame on the wall, there is no
sorrow or regret in it, that has been left for those who remained.
My Poor Sarah through all these years was far from healthy or
strong, and at many seasons failed to receive all the attention

which she deserved and would have got from one more thoughtful than I have been. I have acknowledged it before & do so again with bitterness of heart – at my own want of feeling. Tender and kind she has ever been to me, and my love for her has ever been of the truest since our marriage. And even now when I look into her care worn face, I can discover no difference from the pleasing countenance which first attracted my regard. We have both faded since that, but married love fails to recognize these changes in each other which

youth so readily discerns. We are both wearing spectacles now and sometimes there is an interchange, which may account for this mutual forbearance. One thing I do know, almost the entire burden of raising the family devolved on her. For 16 years I was only in the house to eat and sleep. She has done her best to train them in the path of truth and virtue and now when I am at home and might assist in advice and education of the two younger, I feel like a passenger standing by the railway while the train is passing and anxious to be taken on board, but the train does not slow or come to a stand and while I am waiting it passes on – Such have been my feelings for years back.

Saturday March 1st 1879
A hurricane of wind & snow, a very severe day

John Watson had died this morning about 4 o'clock,
though ailing for sometime his death was rather
unexpected. A sad family to leave behind -
Sunday 2nd
Storm cleared off and day again pleasant
Monday 3rd March
Walked out to the Barn today and already feel
like a new creature. As I have been mercifully dealt
with may I be thankful accordingly. May this bright
day be a forerunner of what is before us but the will of
God be done
Tuesday March 4th
Day gloomy & unpleasant. Revd J. G. Smith arrived from
Kingston to hold missionary meeting. A good attendance
George drove him to the station after eight o'clock

A lovely morning but air cool,thawing a good deal.
was disappointed in not receiving any letters or papers by mail,
all seems to have forgotten us. I sufferd much yesterday from headache and
had to take a powder last night before I obtained any sleep, feel refreshed
this morning but of that unsettled sort that ensures nothing for the future.
Mrs.Costello hired today, the time passing away.
Wednesday April 2nd
raw cold morning, almost a second winter frost.
the doctor wants me to read nothing, write nothing,
and in fact think of nothing but keep cool,calm, peaceful,
the brain want wants perfect rest. I have been trying
this regimen for some time,and last night actually dreamed I had
accomplished it.all of us it seemed had joined with me in this
mental abstinence, and last night we met in a grand walhalla of total ignorance.

can succeed on this island until we all get better off
and a combined movement be made in the direction
of encouragement

and no beauty in the landscape,
only the promise of what is to be feft.very tiredwhen I got home,
and missed much the littlr "girl" that used to accompany me
last fall and summer,with her eager question and clever
womanly remarks.oh nell,nell,you have left a blank
that nothing hearafter can fill up,and you do not even visit
me in dreams of the night.it seems strange,perhaps you will
come when I cease to think of you all the day long.

landing at Rimouski point and reached the
afternoon train in time for west. received a letter
from Maggie today with abudget of news. she is
also recovering from her illness,does not meen to teach
again and seems inclined to try for an advanced certificate.
Hugh had a severe attack of colic this afternoon, called in the
doctor and he left easier at bedtime.
Friday April 18th
weather still cloudy, overcast and raw cold
no spring as yet settled.roads are drying. ice fast giving way.
no movement of ice in the river. may last all next week,

almost done sowing at this date. mr.MacPhedran on little house,
so he at least seems sanguine regarding his stay
Saturday 19th
M.came, John & Annie visited the place and at Nelly's grave, even
this labour of love I could not join
in when shall I be able to go and see it, walked around the farm,
and had a severe attack.

oh what a tangled web we weave when first we
practice to deceive-and yet all this has come out
without any help from me. when I brought her down
years ago, she had not then publicly assumed her
real name, and to the people on the island was
introduced as Miss Hoston, but I cannot expect her
to tolerate that now, and can it all be arranged
without sickening explanation, as curious people
always demand and insist on-but I feel I must see
her in some way or other.
The boys have worked excessively hard during past
weeks, and have got all in only our barley and last
night and today blessed showers have fallen which
make the fields look promising and green. lord grant
that I may be able to assist at the gathering in
of the harvest-or in mercy remove me from this
earthly scene on which I have come to look back on
as a thing of past and shall concern me but little
if all were well there would not be a struggle in
leaving, especially as my angel sister is beyond the
river to beckon this way

the weary days pss on,and no sign of material
improvement. instead of processing I am now
retrograding and becoming more nervous and weak.
weather far from being summer.nights cool. crops grow
but slowly,and now I fear there willbe a great shortage
in wheat,which seems very backward. "the pricess & marquis"
have had their day and the scene has passed.they got a right royal
reception,at least in the Limestone city. Sir Lorne was prudent
enough to revive again the dream of kingston becoming the capital.
we know not,when the far west becomes settled, it may be necessary
to organize standard districts, centralizing the nucleus of old
association, a garrison town,and located on an inland sea,
right on the through line both rail and water.
can our federal union exist as it is for 50 years longer?
one thing is certain. Ontario is the keystone of the structure,
if she remain true to herself, she will have a powerful
hand in drawing the 'cement' closer

Tuesday July 15th
Maggie arrived today by Steamer from Belleville.
she looks well though thin and pale. I was uncertain
whether she could come or not.
Friday July 25th 1879
ten days of a pleasant visit from Maggie have passed away and
today she & Jeanie left for Kingston. she will take the midnight
train for home. she is cheerful and composed, still I dread her
position. she is very thin, but active as ever and looks better
than she ever did.
give me a list of Mr.Young's family viz Mary, Jane,Samuel, Susan,
Mrs Wallace, Rosa, Robert, Andrew. she confided to me some other
pleasing information regarding her own future plans.
sister Mary came up tonight but missed seeing Maggie as she and Jeanie
had gone out to her place, but they did not meet on the road.
Mary left for home on Saturday morning.

Tuesday July 29th 1879
day beautiful and I suppose Maggie reaches home today as she left.
we had heavy rain on Saturday night which I hope she reached home before that.
have ceased taking chloral for 5 days and feel better in a way,
although I now feel my own weakness more and more, and suffer ocasional
shoots of pain of a marked character,and having failed to get any sleep last night,
may have to return to it, but I will not willingly. expected my end to have arrived
this, but it seems as far off as a month ago.
god grant me patience. all things are in his hand.
Tuesday July 29th 1879
Had a poor night and a miserable awakening. Chloral does not seems
to be the soothing remedy in my case. but nessesity compelled me to use it.
the day is fine and the boys are busy drawing Barley,still keeping ahead of
their harvest.had nothing by mail today nor did I expect anything.
Wednesday July 30
day fine and warm. beautiful harvest weather. Annie has gone to Kingston
for a few days. boys busy drawing in barley, will have all in tonight
that is cut. 3 sizable stacks are now up. had but a poor night,still do not
feel so bad today. am able to move about the house though I have not been out.

Thursday July 31st 1879
weather warm and the harvest work progressing very fast.
I have had 3 easy days not having used chloral. how long I will be able to
abstain is doubtful, but it's pleasant while it lasts.had a letter from
Maggie today-all safe home and all well. I must write a few lines to answer
her as she seems anxious to hear again.
Wednesday Aug 13 1879
day warm and sultry,with heavy thunder and lightning in the evening,
quite a shower fell but it disappeared in the thirst ground.
James M.Reid found dead in the potato patch late in the evening.
he had gone out to hoe after the rain, and as he was eccestric in his
movement on one thought of looking for him until late,
when found he had been dead for some time. apoplexy no doubt- an Elder of the
church for over 20 years, he lived a blameless life, and perfomed many
honorable duties in his day. some other time in crossing the fence he tore

we have now had a whole week of beautiful warm weather, in fact
unaccoutably good for the season of the year.
Am able to write fully even enjoy life, begin to look backward
instead of forward as in the past months, and get no prospect
better than former, ah, I suffer and seem to enjoy the short duration
of state which, Lord help me if I am deceiving myself.
when sad, I am very sad, but when cheerful,am much so.
The change in times and things have gone without regret, but lately
I look on the world with longing eyes and heart. Why is it?
wrote yesterday to Maggie, the whole month..and no word from her
..will certainly receive one this week.

Wednesday, May 8, 1872
(Left)
Geo.Wright, Esq.
We are pained to have to announce the death of Geo.Wright,Esq,
of Amherst Island, which sad event took place at his residence
at an early hour on Friday evening last. Mr.Wright has been
ailing for a long time, and his friends have been aware that
his decease could not be long delayed. Mr.W. was a man of particular
ability, and during the number of years he represented his municipality
in the County Council, he was one of the leading members, his voice being
always heard in favor of every progressive movement and his opinion was
universally respected by his fellow councillors.He was particularly
interested in our educational system, and every movement pertaining to the
better education of our youth invariably received his countenance and support.
in his own neighborhood Mr.Wright had the respect of his fellow citizen and
his death will be deeply regretted. The County Council have unanimously passed a
resolution of condolence to be presented to the bereaved family. his funeral
took place on Sunday last, his remains being followed to their last resting place
by a large and sorrowing congregation of friends and relatives.
(Right)
Since the last meeting of the Council he had learned that a former respected
member of this Council had passed away. He reffered to Geo.Wright,Esq,
ex-Reeve of Amherst Island,that gentleman having been buried on Sunday last.
the gentleman was always held in the highest respect by his fellow members as an
able man,who filled the position of Reeve with honor to himself and credit to
the municipality he represented. he hoped to the Council would give expression
to their sympathy for the bereaved family in a resolution of condolence or
otherwise as they saw fit.
County Council Chamber
Napanee, dec 3rd,1879

George Wright, Esq, ex-Reeve of Amherst Island, desire hereby to tender
you and your family their most heartfelt sympothy and condolence in the
irreparable bereavement with which it has pleased Heaven To visit you.
they beg leave to bear testimony to the excellence of our deceased co-worker's
services in his official capacity, to the performance of which he brought the aid
of a cultivated intellect, an honest purpose,a clearness and force of mental grasp,
and a well directed dilligence that made him one of the foremost members of our body,
a credit both

</p><p>Again Spring reviving her winter seared blossoms
Now basks her green mantle in Phoebus' bright ray
The wild forest songsters their notes are a pouring
The wild flowers a blooming their beauties display-
And I (like the Swallow from the land of her exile)
Again have returned but to wander alone -
Through scenes that still fling their sad memories round me
Ah scenes! that were dear in "the days that are gone"-
Again I have roamed through the grove & green meadow,
By the rough winding shore where in years gone I strayed,
I have lain 'neath the "<u>Tree</u>" that I well may remember,
As it waved its green branches a sweet summer shade.

For what seems before me but joy and rejoicing
Since weel I loe Katie, and Katie loes me.

That gies me ony pain.

The rising sun to cheer
So we with light and joyous hearts
Oft hail the opening year -
But Ah! long ere his noontide beams
How cruel fates combine
To blight the hopes we cherished ance
And change a Valentine
When first life's opening scene I viewed
From boyhood's sunny bowers
Joy spent its sweets in every grove
My pathway strewed with flowers
I sought a rose, a summer rose
Around my heart to twine
But blighting winter came and nipped
My blooming Valentine -
Time was when I could fondly love
And kindly yours return
But hope has spent its cheering flame
Save memory's ashes burn.
The withered flower, the blighted rose
Will bloom with summer's shine
But my lone heart must ever mourn
A lang lost Valentine.
Oh! Mary, not in future years
My one request disclaim -
Give me at times, a <u>careless</u> thought -
A link in memory's chain.

Of that which did betide;
Because the light of my life went out
When the little one died.
And every leaf on every tree
Since then to me has said,
And will forever say to me
"Is the little one dead?"-
And every where I see the room
And all the weeping eyes,
I hear the tender terrible words
While the little one dies.
And every where I feel the blank,
With empty arms out-spread -
Till I would give all those that live
"for my little one dead"-
And if I hear that one is sick,
I shrink and turn aside -
Ever I fear that Death is near,
Because <u>my</u> little one died -
And if I hear that one grows well,
I lift a cruel cry -
"Why? Oh why? Should any get well,
And just my little one die"-
And through my heart the word went down,
There ever to abide -
Why? Oh why? Am I alive?

</p><p>“Give us a song!” the soldiers cried,
The sentry, tobacco guarding.
When he heard a gun of the “Camp Alive”
Had ceased for a time from firing.
The dark Redan in silent sleep
Lay, grim and threatening under,
And the tawny muzzle of the “Malakoff”
No longer belched its thunder—
</p><p>“There was a pause”—the guardsman said
“We storm the fort tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow”—

Below the smoking cannon—
Poor hearts from <u>Crimea</u>—“The Clyde”
And from the banks of <u>Shannon</u>—
They sang of love, and not of fame
Though that was Britain’s glory.
Each heart recalled a different <u>name</u>
But all sang “<u>Annie Laurie.</u>”

While it tender [illegible],
Pure like an anthem rich and strong.

Rained on the Russian quarters;
With screams of shot, and bursts of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.

For a singer, dumb & gone;
And Highland Mary mourns for him

</p><p>Rec.d Copies of "Christian Times" containing Picture
and Biographical sketch of <u>"Brother John</u>" — am sorry that
in sketching his life (that is the early part) they did not
apply to "His <u>Brother</u> <u>George"</u> — I think I could have
given, more particulars and guaranteed them all
more reliable — No need then of <u>"Soaring"</u> paragraphs —
— What I know of <u>"Brother John"</u> —
My first recollection (a chubby boy 5 years old) I have of John is on a sunday
evening after Mr Ross's school was dismissed (we were <u>then</u> was all
worshippers of <u>"Livery"</u>) the moon had risen, and it was a lovely
night — My Brother & Miss Nichol had walked home together
with "Dadd" in the background — "Brother John" was behind
and as they parted at the "Gate" he came up, dresed in his
smart new "Suit" — (provided by "Mr Miller of Pleasanthill")
invisible brown with bright brass buttons — "a <u>flunkey"</u>
He bowed to Miss Nichol, nodded to his mother, and took
no notice of his <u>"Brother George"</u> — I was pleased — He
wheeled and ran, and the only thing that remains
distinctly embedded in my memory, is the shape
of the "Coat-skirt" glancing in the moonlight — In my boyish
fancy I had never seen anything "half so beautiful" — It was
not a "Long tailed Blue" by no means — but it was something
between the "Military" & the "Undertaker" which convinced me that
<u>"Brother John"</u> was on the "high Road to promotion" —
The next memory I have is <u>"John as a Weaver</u>" having left
Pleasanthill he betook to<u> weaving</u> in the village of "Damhead"
and passed the season there. This time is to me a very

</p><p>indistinct one and of which I have little recollection, only
I remember him in the short "Fustian Jacket" and Pants of
the same material which was then the invariable dress
of the "Coarse Linen <u>Weaver"</u> - I remember my Father going to
Kinfauns and the pleasure we all felt when John was
duly apprenticed to the <u>"Gardening</u><u> Trade"</u> for it was not
then accounted a "Profession" - But it seemed then to be the object
of his highest ambition and he gave his whole soul for a season
to it - became an enthusiastic Botanist - and at the Annual
Horticultural Show held in the <u>"Fair</u> <u>City</u>" came off as Second
Class Prizeman for a <u>"Bouquet"</u> - and First Class for "Dried
Specimens of the Native Flora". The Local Journal adding in an
encouraging tone to the report "That John Wright was only a
Two Years Apprentice". The fact of seeing his name in print
seemed to us, as several steps up the Ladder of fame already,
I saw little of John during these three years, but under the
guidance of Revd Mr McLaggan Parish Minister and
Mr Stewart Schoolmaster, He seemed to have prosecuted
his studies to some advantage, several months before his
Apprenticeship closed it was rumored he was to leave the
Trade and go to College, this was in 1839 - Father and all
his <u>best</u> friends tried to dissuade him from the rash venture,
He had no money and Father was unable to help, but he had
friends aiding and abetting that we knew not of -
Mr Ross his "Sunday School Teacher" earnestly reasoned on the
difficult undertaking and the all but impossibility of his
being able to persevere and obtain a Standing at College

</p><p>without much preparatory training and without a <u>Patron</u>, "If
my own talents <u>will</u> not patronize me, I will be willing to
give in, but then I must first try" was his answer to all
the reasons urged by Mr Ross to induce him to abandon the
scheme— Till the old Gentleman with tears in his eyes
confessed that "He had been only <u>trying him"</u> and the path
he himself had chosen, was the very one that He (Mr Ross)
had mapped out for him years before in the Sunday School,
and that his labour could not be all in vain if He could
live to see John Waight a successful Minister of the Gospel—
this was followed by the gift of <u>"Five Pounds"</u> and several
other <u>"nameless presents"</u> which must have proved extremely
useful both to the pocket and scanty wardrobe of the would
be student— He entered St. Andrews that season and
was successful in gaining a small bursary (Ten Pounds I think)
which also aided him through the session— His first vacation
was spent partly at home and partly around Kinfawns. After this
I saw but little of him. The <u>"Voluntary Controversy"</u> was then at its
height and he at this time was a staunch "Established Churchman"
Woodside had then a popular library, founded and supported
entirely by "Thomas Ross" in connection with the Woodside School
Open on Monday evenings <u>"free to all"</u> the Theologians & Politicians
made the library their weekly head quarters. Much discussion in
a desultory way, had been indulged in by both parties, Finally
John was induced to challenge the leader of the Voluntaries
a Mr John Haggart, a worthy man and an Elder in the U.P.
Church of Coupar Angus (Mr Marshall's) to debate in public

</p><p>the basis of their belief and action - The debate lasted three
consecutive nights and excitement ran very high - Tempers were
lost and all but blows were exchanged by the backers of each -
I was there every night but of course the debate "per se" made
but a slight impression on my youthful brain - I mind of the
terms "<u>Voluntaries and Socialists"</u> being hurled from "our side of
the house" - <u>"Erastians</u> and <u>State</u> <u>paid</u> clergy" resounded from
the other - "The lads in Fustian" (the Woodside Weavers) who at that
time were as intensely "Established" as they afterwards became "Free"
gave a hearty encore, when the half Poetic half Prophetic Rhapsodies
of Isaiah were quoted as proving the base on which rested our
State Churchism - "Lengthen the cords & strengthen the stakes" - for
Kings & Queens shall be nursing Fathers & nursing Mothers
(so they held to be the evident meaning of the passage) to this our
"Established Kirk of Scotland" - while a clapping of hands
and a shuffling of feet followed on Honest John Haggart
laying down as an incontrovertible plank of his belief
that "the example of the Apostle Paul was of far more
importance to us as Christians," "who labored with his hands
and was chargeable to no man" - This much of the general
drift of the debate I do remember but little else - The "sword of
the Civil Magistrate" and the Spiritual Power of the Head of the
Church, were to me alike (in those days) a "Terra incognita"
and I had no wish to explore, satisfied, like many of my elders
with, what "our side" held was the truth and all else error -
Strange freaks, however, were played with these "solid foundations"
of belief during the next decade, and many a cherished opinion

</p><p>that knew them then, knew them, "no more for ever" - I remember -
something broke up the discussion before it came to its natural
conclusion, and neither party was exactley satisfied. A newspaper
controversy was the result - in which stronger language was used
than was either seemly or charitable - Daniel McIntosh the little
knock-kneed schoolmaster of Woodside (a Baptist of the old school)
taking a leading part - however the Churchmen proud of their
young champion who in the language of their opponents had got
"his hands clear of the trade" determined on a Testimonial -
And I have no doubt that Dr Wright of Southampton, whatever
may now be his opinions of the merits of the controversy, looks
back with the highest pleasure, on that summer evening, when
his old School fellows, and companions at the loom, met and
under the guidance of James Strachan, presented him with
a handsome "Silver Watch & Chain" both as a mark of esteem
for the individual and also as an appreciation of the "fearless
exponent" of the cause which they held so dear -
But dark days were now lowering over the "Porter Lodge of
Keithock". John had gone to college for the Winter Session
our "Mother" took ill after harvest - and was bedfast - during
the Winter he made one hasty visit during her illness and
the next was to her funeral in March 1860, though remembering
distinctly enough all the events as they happened there is a want
of unity for a year at this time that I cannot account for -
Brother William went to learn shoemaking - May & I & Baby Jim
were left to keep house - Father ever at work from six to six.

days from first hearing of his coming – not doubting he would give
me timely warning of his arrival – It was not to be, and
I felt really and truly then that I had bidden him a last
Farewell Ten years before – I have only received a stray letter
at long and uncertain dates since – the world around him knows
much more of his public career than I pretend to do –
His has been a hard working life, he began with a "Purpose", stuck
to it and has been successful – though I am rather disappointed
at his accepting an L.L.D. from an American College, after the
very decided <u>"Southern Views"</u> he held during the progress of
the War – I have hastily sketched only the Salient points of his life
and now when I glance over I feel how little<u> I do know</u> – His
Secret Struggles with Poverty and class prejudice none can tell
but himself. I remember when he went to St. Andrews he boarded
with the Toll Keeper, Andrew Mitchell at something like<u> "Five</u>
<u>Shillings"</u> a week. Which furnished Porridge & Milk three
times a day – And in vacation time I got from him many
valuable lessons as "how to renovate Broadcloth by the use of
Soap and Logwood chips", often assisting him in these labours,
and making "auld claes look amaist as weel as new" –

Pet Nellie" who was born this day twelve years ago, and
who in her short life though she suffered much was ever
patient and cheerful, full of mirth and glee, until she
became the centre of the household, when attending school
six years ago a severe pain struck into her thigh which the
doctors declared Neuralgia but which turned out to be hip
disease and she suffered at times the greatest agony, at
last Dr Evans of Kingston injected chloroform into the hip joint
which gave her instant relief, but the limb remained senseless
and she had to walk on crutches, later in the season
a tumour appeared and the leg had to be opened near
the knee which continued to run during the fall and winter
Nelly still hopping around, this at last closed but it had
done its work, the thigh bone was in part dislocated, and
the sinews had shrunk or wasted away, and this leg
ceased to grow in proportion, but Nelly being free from pain
threw away the crutches and preferred a single cane — her
greatest distress was now that she could not attend school
a high heeled boot was got for her and with this she managed
better, kept reading and studying at home and made good
progress, about three years ago she contracted intermitting fever
which brought her to the verge of the grave, for weeks she hovered
on the borders of the "Debatable Land" but at last threw it off and
slowly gained strength, after this she became more cheerful than ever

in the afternoon she ceased to breathe, friends gathered in but I
turned my face to the Wall. The first death in our family—
She was buried on Sunday 29th Dec'r 1872—
Need I add more? Nelly is gone but her life work
was finished, and she has left impressions on all that
can never be erased, we are thankful for the few
years she was spared to brighten and enliven our
home, and through our tears can only exclaim
"May we die the death of the Righteous and, my^our
latter end be like hers"—

Seven weary weeks have passed since "the funeral"
and I am now able to be up daily, although I have
not been out of the house it appears like an age.
Sarah has suffered much but has kept up through all and
all the family have done what they could to contribute to
the general comfort. All felt the grief but strove to hide as
much as possible. We had many letters of sympathy and of
condolence none of which touched me more than one from^another J. W. Bell
Reeve of Camden and from the Rev'd T. G. Smith. A public resolution
of sympathy for one in affliction was also passed by the County Council
Being unable to attend their meeting or to stand again I lost
my seat as Reeve, and now I am not sorry for it, if ever I re-enter
I can now devote all my time and attention to our home.

was spent in quiet melancholy, Sarah went up in the afternoon
to the Manse and returned with a severe headache, I was

She has done her best to train them in the path of truth and virtue and now when I am at home and might assist in advice and education of the two younger, I feel like a passenger standing by the railway while the train is passing and anxious to be taken on board, but the train does not slow or come to a stand and while I am waiting it passes on – Such have been my feelings for years back.

at an early hour on Friday evening last. Mr.Wright has been
ailing for a long time, and his friends have been aware that
his decease could not be long delayed. Mr.W. was a man of particular
ability, and during the number of years he represented his municipality
in the County Council, he was one of the leading members, his voice being
always heard in favor of every progressive movement and his opinion was
universally respected by his fellow councillors.He was particularly
interested in our educational system, and every movement pertaining to the
better education of our youth invariably received his countenance and support.
in his own neighborhood Mr.Wright had the respect of his fellow citizen and
his death will be deeply regretted. The County Council have unanimously passed a
resolution of condolence to be presented to the bereaved family. his funeral
took place on Sunday last, his remains being followed to their last resting place
by a large and sorrowing congregation of friends and relatives.
</p><p>(Right)
</p><p>Since the last meeting of the Council he had learned that a former respected
member of this Council had passed away. He reffered to Geo.Wright,Esq,
ex-Reeve of Amherst Island,that gentleman having been buried on Sunday last.
the gentleman was always held in the highest respect by his fellow members as an
able man,who filled the position of Reeve with honor to himself and credit to
the municipality he represented. he hoped to the Council would give expression
to their sympathy for the bereaved family in a resolution of condolence or
otherwise as they saw fit.
</p><p>County Council Chamber
Napanee, dec 3rd,1879
</p><p>Mrs.Geo.Wright

having learned with the deepest regret of the death of your husband,
George Wright, Esq, ex-Reeve of Amherst Island, desire hereby to tender
you and your family their most heartfelt sympothy and condolence in the
irreparable bereavement with which it has pleased Heaven To visit you.
they beg leave to bear testimony to the excellence of our deceased co-worker's
services in his official capacity, to the performance of which he brought the aid
of a cultivated intellect, an honest purpose,a clearness and force of mental grasp,
and a well directed dilligence that made him one of the foremost members of our body,
a credit both

Tune Abbey Lloyd 119 Psalm
1 a How bright these glorious spirits shine
Whence all there bright array
How came they to the blissful seats
Of everlasting day
2 Lo these are they form suffering great
Who came to relems of fight
And in the blood of christ have washed
Thare robes which shine so bright
3 His presents fills each hert with Joy
Tunes every voice to sing
By day by night the sacred courts
While glad Hosannas ring
Hungry and thurst after no more
Nor suns with schorching ray
God is there sun whose cheering beems
Diffused etarnal day
When snows desend and robe the fields
In winter s bright array
Touched by thy sun the luster fades
And weepps itself away
When spring appears when vilants blow
And sheds a rich perfume
How soon thy fragrance breathes its last
How short lived is the bloom
Fresh in the morn the sumer rose
Hangs with ring ere tis noon
We scarce envy the balmy gift
But mourn the plesure gon
With gilding fire an evening stare
Streaks the Atumnal skies
Shook from the atumal it darts away
And in an instant dies
