Henry’s son John, known as Jack, was Lori’s grandfather. Jacob started working on the Journals in 2012 (as time permitted around school and other work) when he was 13 years old. Jacob came to know the family well – and was the first to find the birth and then death of Henry’s daughter Annie in 1895 – and the death of his sister Annie in 1894. Jacob remembers dates and events better than Lori. Jacob selected the journal he wanted to start with and chose 1890 - 1899. Lori began trying to find and assemble all the Journals from various family members beginning in 2000. She had some originals from her mother (Marie McMahon Douglas) and was able to borrow other originals or copies from other cousins. All that have been found (either originals or copies) were donated to PAMA. Henry kept journals from January 1, 1887 – February 13, 1919, 32 years. Years available – Journal 1 (1887-1890), Journal 2 (late 1890 to mid 1899, Part I is transcribed here), Journal 3 missing and hope may one day be found (mid 1899 to late 1911), Journal 4 (late 1911 to mid 1917), Journal 5 (mid 1917 to early 1919). As the Journals were sometimes very faded (some in faded green ink) and difficult to read – and in some cases working only from a copy of copy of the original – Jacob was requested to note questions or unreadable sections as noted below in FORMAT EXAMPLE. Jacob has finished transcribing all of Journal #2. Jacob bolded all proper names and yellow highlighted those of Henry’s immediate family (as best possible) - that is Henry’s parents, siblings, and his future wife are yellow highlighted – but not the spouses or children of his siblings, other relatives or neighbours. However, sometimes there are duplicate Sarah’s, Lizzie’s, John’s etc - so best efforts were used to determine which were the immediate family member. For example he had a sister Sarah and a sister-in-law Sarah. Henry also noted the names of the Preachers who travelled to the area – and these are noted by green highlighting the word Preach. In addition, it took some time to figure out that sometimes the names were the names of the horses used for transportation – in particular Polly, Charlie, Jack, Nelson and Jigger. This was also confusing as Henry had a nephew Nelson who is frequently mentioned – and sometimes it is not clear when a horse or passenger is being noted. Major events are blue highlighted. Henry noted Sunday in his journal entries with an X. From that it was decided to add the day of the week for each entry – to give some context to the week. For the most part punctuation was not corrected – the text was transcribed as is. Except for the weather as noted below. And when Henry used : between statements – these were changed to periods to try and make the entries easier to read. FORMAT EXAMPLE (All Arial 11) Date (WEEKDAY) 2 spaces Weather with coma’s then period. 2 spaces after any period. XXX when can’t read a word at all. ? if not sure. Use his spelling. If he put 6 or 6 o’clock – type it as he wrote it. Also if he doesn’t capitalize proper names – please capitalize. Bold type all names of people (as best you can determine – some names are names of horses). Bold and yellow highlight family member names. (See family tree 1 �chart). Green highlight the term Preach when he noted the preachers name. Sometimes Henry uses : between statements. Please use periods and then capitalize the next statement. See examples below. It seems when he runs out of room – he finished the sentence above the line – see 12/25 and 12/28 as examples. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF LIFE OF HENRY MCMAHON Henry’s parents were early settlers in the area – variably referenced as Albion Township, Cardwell, Ballycroy, Caledon, Palgrave area, or Peel County. His father James is believed to have come from Ireland to Ontario around 1843 or 1845 (but the definitive pertinent records have not yet been found). No records of James birth have yet been found but it is suspected he was from near Caledon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland – near Armagh (supported by Perkin’s Bull family survey descriptions in the Peel Region Archives (PAMA) as County Tyrone or County Armagh near the Blackwater River). James bought the land in 1853 (50 acres for 125 pounds Lot 33, East Part, Concession 5, Peel County, Ontario). Some of the documents note his father-in-law Henry Smith as a witness. Henry’s mother Elizabeth Smith (who lived to be 92) was noted to have been born in Toronto (near King and Yonge streets). Henry had 7 brothers and sisters. He was the 4th child, and the second son. His oldest brother, John (who married Sarah McLaughlin in 1875), left the household early and had a farm in Paisley, Bruce, Ontario. His younger brother, James (who married Annie Pearl Lundy in 1910 – very late in life), eventually inherited the family farm. Two of his sisters, Sarah (who married Arthur John – AJ – Roberts in 1889) & Marjorie (who married Simon Gower in 1879) - moved west (the Territories) ultimately settling in Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan. Records indicate they went west in the mid 1880s. Sarah married AJ Roberts in Saskatchewan. His sisters Annie (who married Thomas Faulker around 1876), Elizabeth (who married Robert James Lavery in 1901) and Margaret (who married William Duffy in 1895) stayed in the Palgrave area. So those family names (Faulkner, Gower, Roberts, Lavery and Duffy) are seen frequently in the Journals along with other neighbors. The Coulter family is also later related through the aunt (Margaret McTaggert who married John Coulter) of his wife Mary Maud Culbert. The Lavery’s have a shoe repair business and later his sister Elizabeth marries RJ Lavery and they run a general store on the main street in Palgrave. There are also mentions of other McMahon’s that Henry visits and other references to relatives (Mrs. Mabel McMahon, Wesley McMahon, George McMahon, Dave McMahon, Jack McMahon, William McMahon (Uncle Bill), Aunt Rachel, Aunt Ellen Doroak/Daroak, Uncle James Doraok/Daroak) but the exact relationships, if any, have not yet been researched or found. Mrs. Mabel McMahon seems to own a local shop (pharmacy and general store). And later Henry names one of his children Mabel. Henry had just turned 31 when the 1890 Journal 2 begins. It is believed in the below transcription that Lizzie is his sister Elizabeth (1869-1939) who would have been about 20 in 1890 (when Journal 2 starts), and that Maggie is his sister Margaret (1872-1944) who would have been about 18 in 1890. Ma (18301923) and Pa (1825-1904) are self explanatory. As noted above his older brother John (1853-1911) was about 37 in 1890 was living in Paisley with his family (he had married in 1875) – but often visited with his family (wife Sarah and children Nelson, George Henry Wellington, Lettie and Chester). His younger brother Jim (1865 – 1954) was about 25 and still living at home on the farm. His sister Annie (18551894) would have been married around 1875 or 1876 and out of the house – but in Palgrave. His sister Marjorie (1857-1924) had married Simon Gower in 1879 and some records note they had moved to Saskatchewan by 1882 or 1884 (before this Journal #2 was started). His sister Sarah (1862-1957) 2 �married in 1889 in Fort Qu’Applelle, Saskatchewan – but it is not known when she went west. Probably around 1882 or 1884 with her sister Henry seems to do everything – works on the family farm and on the farms of others (butchering pigs; harvesting hay, oats and peas; repairing fences; etc), provides hair cuts, writes letters for others, mends shoes, etc. Later he seems to be a travelling salesman – buying items (watches, jewelry, stereoscopes) in Toronto and sell them in neighboring areas. After he is married he is known as a coal and potato merchant. He was very active in the Methodist Church. And later in life was a Trustee and Treasurer for many years. And he seemed to be always on the move. He travelled by horse and a variety of buggies and sleighs, and by train – not only into the nearby “towns” of Ballycroy and Palgrave – but also to Alliston, Cheltenham, Black Horse, Port Dover, Caledon East, Mono Mills, Tottenham, Adjala, Beeton, Bolton, Hagersville, Orangeville, Hamilton and Toronto – to name a few. In later years he routinely traveled by rail to Toronto as a potato and coal merchant – and family members indicate he sold produce at the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto – and was reported to be a very honest and reliable man. Henry married late in life on December 26, 1894 (he was 35) to Mary Maud Culbert (1875-1923). (She is found in the census records by many names – by her mother’s maiden name McTaggert, by her stepfather’s name McFadden and then by her married name McMahon. Her biological father is listed a variety of ways – Cubbins, McCubbins, and Culbert. But best research now indicates Culbert. Henry and Mary Maud had 8 children [Annie (1895), James Henry Campbell known as JHC or Mac (1896-1942), Olive (1898-1951) , Russell (1900-1943), Mabel (1906-1993), Pearl (1908-1993), John know as Jack (1909-1964), and Roy (1915-1985)] – 7 who lived to adulthood. John (Jack) is the grandfather of Lori Douglas who has assembled the Journals. In this 1890 – 1899 Journal 2 Henry gets married in 1894 at age 35. His first child Annie is born 1895 born and dies after only 9 months. His sister Annie had died in 1894. His son James Henry Campbell is born in 1896 and his daughter Olive was born in 1898. These events are noted in Part II of Journal 2. In this Journal 2, Part I he is still living at his parents home – and is not yet married. He just turned 31 when this journal begins. In these years he worked at the home farm but also seems to have hired out to do labor at other farms and areas. His close friend is Billy Bingham from the neighboring farm. There is also frequent reference to Albert Little (who he seems to be constantly shaving and cutting his hair) and Tom – but who thay are specifically has not yet been researched. There are frequent references to his brothers and sisters. His brother John (who married in 1875 and lives in Paisley, Bruce area) is often mentioned along with his children Nelson, Wellington, Lettie and Chester. John’s wife was also a Sarah which can be confusing in the Journals. As well as the horses name of Nelson noted above. Henry seems to be close to – or at least does a lot with – his nieces and nephews. In August 1892 he appears to have a girlfried - Zettie Slaught (ZS) who he met in Port Dover. This seems to have lasted for a few months as a long distance relationship – as there are still references to her in late 1892 – and the last reference in this part of the journal seems to be March 19, 1893. Also in late 1892 his sister Sarah Roberts visits (without her husband A. J. Roberts) with her son Arthur John. There is a note on October 1, 1892 that Sarah is there from Manitoba. Her daughter Jessica is born in November 1892. They are all noted as there on Christmas day 1892. There is also a mention of Mary McFadden (who was often known by her step fathers name) that Christmas of 1892. Sarah and family return to Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan on April 25, 1893. And in April 1894, there begin to be more frequent references to Mary Maud McFadden (M or M.M.) who will become his wife on December 26, 1894. One major event was a man (Frank McCauley) noted as found dead at Gotts Swamp on November 24, 1892. 3 �GENERAL OBSERVATIONS BY HENRY’S GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER Some general observations are noted here by his great grand-daughter Lori Douglas (who although coordinating finding all the Journals she could and donating them to PAMA, tracking down relatives and various family photos, and then arranging for typing for this first project - has not yet read the Journals word for word). But she has skimmed them and has gained some insights into the world Henry lived and worked in. And as noted above, he was hard working. It was interesting to learn how much people visited each other (and how many people had to be crammed in the original family farmhouse) and how much they travelled to neighboring towns and to Toronto. They often travelled by train – and some of the numbers Henry mentions in the Journals seem to be references to the train numbers – and in later Journals he notes specific rail car numbers when he is shipping potatos and coal. Also Henry seldom makes any special observations about Christmas or holidays. Perhaps he noted they had a goose for dinner. There seemed to be no gift giving or even special church events. He does make special note of birthdays. In addition to being active in the Methodist Church (which is still located and active in Palgrave – see reference to a wonderful Palgrave and church reference below - which also provides summaries of some of the other early settlers of the Palgrave area) – he would also attend events at the English church. That building is also still in Palgrave but was recently converted to a restaurant (2017). There a very few remaining head stones in the yard of the Methodist Church – and none for the McMahon’s. But there is an active Morningside Cemetery in Palgrave that has records of the burials of many on the McMahon family (and those they married) who stayed in the area. Lori noticed that many people (at least those in Henry’s family) seemed to marry a little later in life – not in their late teen or early 20s as she had thought. She had also noted Henry sometimes used the term “sick” to note when someone was going into labour. And in later journals when his son JHC was in WWI in England in the great war – Henry notes seeing a flying machine going overhead. Later journals describle JHC being injured and in hospitals in England. He returns with an English war bride who reportedly had been his nurse. Also, it must be noted he started this journal while he was still living on the family farm with many siblings still at home or visiting. He would have had very little privacy. And he seems to have at times used some codes for privacy. MM for example seems to mean Mary Maud whom he later married.

In them is found a wealth of social data which is not to be obtained from any of the more impersonal sources, such as newspapers, im portant though the latter are in reconstructing the life of a period. W estern Ontario is particularly fortunate in the num ber of diaries of its pioneers th a t have been pre­ served. W ithin recent years the diaries of Rev. W illiam Proudfoot, the pioneer Presbyterian cleric in London, and of H enry C. R. Becher, one of London's early lawyers, have appeared in printed form in the Papers and Records of the On­ tario H istorical Society. In addition to these, a num ber of other local diaries have been copied, through the efforts of Dr. Edwin Seaborn, vice-president of the London and Middlesex H istorical Society. Dr. Seaborn has distributed these copies ^imong severed provincial libraries ivnd archives, including the Public Archives of Canada, a t Ottawa. One of the latest of D r. Seaborn’s local “finds” is the diary of Jacob Case, an early settler in the H am il­ ton district. The original of the diary is in the possession of Jam es A. Reed, of Lam beth, and one of the copies has been presented by Dr. Seaborn to the library of the University of W estern Ontario. The first p art of the Case diary, covering the period from Sep­ tember. 1837, to January, 1847, is. in reality, a ledger, while the second part, M arch, 1851, to February, 1860, is the diary proper. The ledger is a valuable historical record, by reason of the inform ation contained in regard to prices of commodities. In 1837. for instance, w heat sold at nine shillings ($1.80) per bushel, and eight years later the price was down to $1. Jacob Case, like m any of our pioneers, had not been able to avail himself of the privileges of a thor­ ough education, consequently h is1 grammar and his spelling are fre­ quently at fault. He apparently was quite aware of this failing, for a marginal note on a page of the diary reads: ‘Reder you must not look at speling. I du it as well as I can.” Incidentally, this notation settles, in Jacob Case’s case, the time-honored question about diaries: Did the w riter intend others to read his personal record? The Case diary is one of those chatty, informal records that de­ light the heart of the historian fortunate enough to uncover one. Jacob got around quite a lot and attended most of the social func­ tions in his neighborhood. On March 27, 1851, “Rachel had a quiltin’—garIs and boys played til midnight.” That was pretty late, but on May 24 of the sam e year "William and David went to Dundas to pig shave, came home 3 o’clock in the morning.” A feature of pioneer life was the annual militia general training day, when every able-bodied male be­ tween certain specified years a t­ tended for the purpose of going through the manual of arms, albeit the “arms” in many cases con­ sisted of broom handles and um ­ brellas. On June 28, then, we find that our friends, William and David, were “a t the trainen.” During this period the old Great W estern Railroad line was in the course of being laid, from Hamilton to London, and Mr. Case from time to time records having delivered loads of gravel to the contractor to be used for ballast. On August 1, 1851, Mr. Case in­ forms us that he had reached his 61st birthday, and also notes his method of celebrating his arrival at an age when most men of our modern age have retired from active life: “I worked hard all day." Some of the social activities of the ’50s are touched on in the fol­ lowing extracts from the Case diary: “August 4 (1851)—M other and I went to Galt to see the fire com­ pany work. The Preston ingin was the best. (Competitions between rival volunteer fire companies were an outstanding feature of pioneer life in W estern Ontario.) “January 1 (1853)—New Y ear’s Day. We are all well. Thank God. This is dun in the morning. We all tuck dinner on a 14-lb turkey Carlton gave us. Staid up til half after one.” The pioneers were a hardy lot, as witness this account of a bap­ tism al service held in the late w inter: “M arch 6 (1853)—M other and I to Uncle S m ith’s. W ent to m eetin’ —th e m ost people I ever see. They w as seven people dipped th a t day. Cold th a t day. “A pril 4 (1853)—I and D. Case w ent to H am ilton to see the Sus­ pension B ridge and o th er w orks of the rale road.” T he Q ueen's B irthday (M ay 24) was, of course, one of the great days of the y ear: "M ay 24 (1853)— I to D undas to silib rate th e Queen —God bless her.” The tem perance m ovem ent was becom ing stro n g in th e province in the m id-fifties an d Mr. Case had joined the local branch of the Sons lof Tem perance. F ro m th e follow­ ing cryptic en try in his diary, it appears th a t he had yielded to tem ptation: “Ju n e 25 (1853)—I had a case w ith th e Sons of T em ­ perance. I w in th e suit. I w ill not vilate the pledge again.” T he P rovincial E xhibition was held in H am ilton in 1853: “O ctober 3-4 (1853)—I am going to H am ilton to P ervinchel Show. T his a fte r­ noon I am going as fa r a s D. Case's. I am agoing to sta y till it is over . . . I bought a badge for 5 shillings currency —* H am ilton 1853, M em ber’s B adge — w hich ad ­ m its m e in the Show w hile it lasts. I saw th e best stock I ever see. T he plow ing m atch an d the horse tra d e 1 — two popular am usem ents of the day: “O ctober 21 (1853)—T her was a plow ing m atch a t m y pi" I I team s th a t plowed. I w en. H enry B abock’s an d tu ck suppt. T his w as th e first plow ing m atch ever in B everly (Tow nship). “F eb ru ary 7 (1854) — I trad ed horses w ith C arlton even—a sorrel colt for a red rone horse 5 y ear old. A good young horse. All well. P olitical loyalties w ere stro n g in the '50s: “Septem ber 19 (1854)—1 saw the Rev. R obert Spence—he is agane to offer for P arlem ent. I prom ised him to du ail I w as able to du for him . I am proud to w ork for so good a m an. I tru s t I will succeed. “O ctober 15 (1854) — Spence gained his election by 337 of a m a­ jority. Spence forever fo r m e.” And finally, a form of en te rta in ­ m ent th a t still retains its old-tim e popularity: “F eb ru ary 28 (I860)— I to D. Case’s and to W aterdon. Saw some m en flte—one m an got his ear bit off.” �1837 V7ritten by- Jaoob Case S ep t. 18 20 D. C am bell D e t'r to 170 f t . o f 2 by 3 S can tlo n a t 8/ 7 .

All employees</p> <p>of a person whose property has been seized</p> <p>and sold by the Sheriff under an execution</p> <p>shall have the same priority in proceeds of the</p> <p>sale.</p> <p>{Indented} CONTRACTS.--Contracts may be either parol</p> <p>or under seal. Parol contracts require a con-</p> <p>sideration to support them. Contracts for</p> <p>sale of goods over $40 in value must be in</p> <p>writing or accompanied by part performance,</p> <p>or part payment. A contract may be made</p> <p>by letters and telegrams. Contracts made on</p> <p>Sunday (with a few exceptions) are illegal.</p> <p>Contracts contrary to public policy, or of an</p> <p>immoral character, are illegal. A contract for</p> <p>sale of land must be in writing. To make a</p> <p>good contract the names of the parties, the</p> <p>consideration, and the articles sold or matter</p> <p>agreed upon should clearly appear. Fraud</p> <p>vitiates all contracts.</p> <p>{Indented} BILLS OF SALE AND CHATTEL MORTGAGES.--</p> <p>All sales and mortgages of personal property</p> <p>not accompanied by an immediate delivery</p> <p>and an actual and continued change of posses-</p> <p>sion must be in writing, with an affidavit of</p> <p>execution and affidavit of bona fides in the</p> <p>form required by Act, and must be filed</p> <p>within five days (except in certain outlying</p> <p></p> <p>{MIDDLE COLUMN}</p> <p></p> <p>printed, stamped or engraved thereon or other-</p> <p>wise plainly attached thereto, and no such</p> <p>conditional sale shall be valid against such</p> <p>subsequent purchaser or mortgagee as afore-</p> <p>said, unless it is evidenced in writing, signed</p> <p>by the purchaser or his agent. The foregoing</p> <p>shall not apply to household furniture, other</p> <p>than pianos, organs, or other musical instru-</p> <p>ments, nor shall it apply to any chattels men-</p> <p>tioned in any such lien note, etc., shall file</p> <p>manufacturer or vendor within ten days from</p> <p>the execution of the lien note, etc., shall file</p> <p>with the Clerk of the County Court of the</p> <p>county in which the purchaser resided at the</p> <p>rime of the purchase, a copy of the said lien</p> <p>not, etc. A copy of the lien note, etc., must</p> <p>be left with the purchaser within twenty days.</p> <p>{Indented} GUARANTEES.--Must be in writing ; will be</p> <p>constructed strictly ; should be distinctly word-</p> <p>ed, so that no question will arise whether</p> <p>limited or continuing.</p> <p>{Indented} FRAUD.--Sometimes criminal proceedings</p> <p>may be institued for fraud. Fraud is always</p> <p>a ground of relief. It is a fraud to conceal</p> <p>a fraud.</p> <p>{Indented} INTEREST.--Where interest is payable and</p> <p>no rate has been agreed upon, the rate allowed</p> <p>is five per cent. Any rate can be contracted</p> <p>for. Interest is in the nature of damages, and</p> <p>it is not allowed upon open accounts, unless it</p> <p>is shewn that there is either an express ir im-</p> <p>plied contract to pay interest. Before a</p> <p>debtor can be charged with interest on ac-</p> <p>counts, a demand of payment should be made</p> <p>to him in writing informing him that interest</p> <p>will be claimed from the date of the demand.</p> <p>Interest is allowed on overdue bills and notes</p> <p>from the day they become due. Payments are</p> <p>applied first in payment of interest to date,</p> <p>then in reduction of principal. The practice</p> <p>of allowing interest on both sides of an account</p> <p>to day of settlement is not correct. Com-</p> <p>pound interest is not allowed, unless expressly</p> <p>agreed upon. A contract to reduce the rate</p> <p>of interest in case of punctual payment is good,</p> <p>while onw to increase the rate in case of default</p> <p>is bad. Mortgages of real estate must shew</p> <p>on thier face the rate at which interest is to</p> <p>be calculated.</p> <p>{Indented} PRINCIPAL AND AGENT. -- Principals are</p> <p>responsible for the acts of their agents.</p> <p>Agency may be either general or limited. An</p> <p>agent must be a third person, not the other</p> <p>contracting party.

Every person failing</p> <p>to register a declaration shall incur a penalty</p> <p>of $100. Persins forming a limited partner-</p> <p>ship must register a certificate in the office of</p> <p>the Clerk of the County Court of the county</p> <p>in which the principal place of business of the</p> <p>partnership is situate.</p> <p>{Indented} LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. --On simple con-</p> <p>tracts, promissory notes, debts and money de-</p> <p>mands, six years.

Dancing Young ladies allow gentlemen privileges in dancing, when taken under any other circumstances would be considered as improper. It requires neither brains nor good muscles to be a good dancer. As the love of the one increases, the love of the men & women in skilful dancing. In ancient times the sexes danced separately. Alcohol is the spirit of beverages, so sex is the spirit of the dance, take it away & let the sexes dance separately & dancing would go out of fashion very soon. Parlour dancing is dangerous. Tippling leads to drunkenness and Parlour dancing leads to ungodly Balls. Tippling & parlour dancing sow the wind & both reap the whirlwind. Put dancing in the crucible, apply the acids, weight it, and the verdict of reason morality & religion is “weighted in the balance and found wanting.” The Chief of Police of New Your city says, “That the families of the abandoned girls in the city were ruined by dancing.” Page 2. Were I so tall to reach the pole, And meet the oceans with my span, I must be measured by my soul, The mind is the standard of the man Page 3 News papers A good newspaper is the grandest temporal blessing that God has given to the people of any country. Opinions sometimes are, that anybody can make a newspaper with the aid of capital. The facts are that fortunes are swallowed up every year in the vain effort to establish newspapers. It is time, in my opinion, that it was understood that unless genius & ability are the basis of the undertaking, that the most successful way to sink a fortune & keep it sunk, is to start a newspaper. To publish a newspaper requires the skill, precision, vigilance, strategy and boldness of a Commander in Chief. �To edit a newspaper one needs to be a statesman, a geographer, a statistician and so far as all acquisitions a concise encyclopaedia. Page 4 There are some women who are unbearable. No love or tenderness can subdue their bickerings. If every want be not instantly gratified they accuse their husbands of not caring for them, and either vent their dissatisfaction in angry words, or worse lapse into sulky silence. Can you wonder that the husbands of such women seek refuge in places of evil resort. A prison is more compassionate than domestic unhappiness. “A fretful temper Will divide The closest knot That can be tied.” Page 5 Clearville Dec 19/82 This day has revealed to me, by sentiments expressed in confidence by an aged Father. One who has struggled through life’s journey to rear and comfort a home for his aged wife & children of small sons & daughters that life is a pilgrimage. One may struggle & fight for our children, they grow up to dishonour their parents, seemingly do everything to destroy the comforts of age, & bring grey hairs & a premature grave, such is the case related; domestic discomfiture instead of domestic happiness, seems to prevail. Remember sons & daughters, your convictions will realize you are slowly but surely murdering your aged & respected Father. Page 6 Never swerve in your conduct from your honest convictions decide, because you see reason for decisions, and then act because you have decided. Let your actions follow the guidance of your judgment & if between them both you go down, go down. It is the only course worth of a man. Page 7 Met at the dedication of the Universalist Church in Detroit in the fall of 1881. The following persons were present: Role Woods Esq Nixon {P. Q.?} Ont �R.W. Cobb Esq. Smithville, Ont. JT Middleton Esq. Hamilton, Ont. R. {Bumar?} ESq. & daughter Olinda, Ont Rev. {C.F.} Dodge  Apr 2/80 – wrote me regarding a location Branchport N.Y. Yates Co. Page 8 West Lyone Prov. Of Manitoba Apr. 15/ 1882 Myself Louisa & Clayton crossed over the Red River on the ice, just before it broke up. The River was supposed to be 4 ft. above its natural level & shortly after crossing, the ice broke up & showed plainly the danger we were in crossing. Brother Theodore & Mrs. George Cummings were with us. Got my luggage across in a small boat. Was taken ill that afternoon & had Dr. Cameron to see me. Met W. J. Gosnell & Wm. English on the banks of the Red River west side. In such trying times how cheering it is to find old acquaintances & true friends. Page 9 Theodore T. Watson Nelsonville, Manitoba May 6/1882 Eugene Watson Nelsonville, Man. May 6/1882 Page 10 Clearville July 11/82 This night brings forth sad remembrances. Two months ago this a.m. my dearest of all earthly treasures was taken from me. Death claimed her as heaven’s own. Sad is such realities but only a matter of time with all beings. Our reunion is sure when my time comes. Henry Page 11 Sabbath Evening Sept 3/82 �This day has been spent under severe trials of sustaining a despondent spirit. Memories of my precious {look} lurk through the mind and imagination says they are with me only to vanish upon reflection of sad reality. They are visionary plain the only consoling comfort. Ida and Linius went home & to the fairchilds Suffered nearly all day with headache at home with Clayton Mary & Becca. Page 12 Mix first hope & then despair, how sad is life in such a mood. --How said it is to convene around the grave of the dead to see the tears & hear the sobs of the survivors stricken & mourning friends. Only “A little while” Job xvi-18. Death is the great conqueror. Life’s activity is only a little while. The sun goes down and death transforms all. Page 13 The spirit departeth How calm the repose The pale lily bloometh Whence fadeth the rose; But there is no death Only transfiguration The yielding of breath For the glorification OH God, to that faith To the heart’s consolation. -Not dead not dead, Only gone to the giver Awaiting the weepers Just over the river Only gone by the path That the blesses have trod To walk with the saints In the city of God. Page 14 Died At Nelsonville, Prov. of Manitoba. My dear companion –wife- Louisa on the morning of May 6th 1882 at 1a.m. The mind is incompetent to express the Heart’s feeling under most trying times, I have the confidence to feel There is another loving hand �To heaven’s harp strings given Another gentle seraph’s voice, Another star in heaven. Page 15 Nov 18th 1882 A.D. My birthday Sat. A lovely day all sunshine no shadow. Sad is the remembrance & position from one yr ago but life’s cross we must bear and fight our destinies with fortitude. I was home all day with Ida, Lucy, Mary & Becca McDougal & my precious little boy Clayton. Linnius was at the Eau boating. A peculiar day as telegraphing was intercepted by magnetic aerial interception. Messages were heard without the aid of batteries etc. Northern lights were bright.

Page 18 A word, a look, which at one time makes no impression, at another time wounds the heart, & like a shaft flying with the wind pierces deep, which with its own natural force would scarce reach the object aimed at. Page 19 A solid statement embodying much political reasoning illustrating genius, capital, money, skill, business, foolishness & labour. Tennayson can take a worthless sheet of paper & by writing a poem on it making it worth $5000 & that’s genius. Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper & make it worth $5,000,000 & that’s capital. The United States can take an ounce & a quarter of gold & stamp upon it an “Eagle Bird” & “Twenty dollars” & that’s money. A mechanic can take material worth $5 & make it into a watch worth $100 & that’s skill. The merchant can take an article worth 50c & sell it to you for $1.00 that’s business. Page 20 A lady can purchase a very comfortable bench for $10 but prefers to pay $100 that’s foolishness. The ditch digger works 10 hrs a day & shovels out 3 or 4 tons of earth for $1.00 that’s labour. Died At Ridydom on Friday morning {here?} 8th at 5 am, Little only old, smallest child I ever saw. Weighed wo pounds when Born. Why should such a little innocent Babi suffer as it did for days before death. Page 21 All over the world there are women who endeavour to satisfy the hunger of their own hearts with the devotion of man who inspires them with reverence & tenderness perhaps, but who fail utterly to rouse in them the deep strong love of which they are by nature capable. Sometimes before it burst over their heads then feel the cold dark shadow of the storm clouds which is to wreck their dearest hopes & flood their souls with misery.

Left the docks {Edgecombs}, Moores, Clearville & Morpeth. Left Morpeth nearly 10am for Cleveland. 168 tickets sold. Mr Isaac Gardner & self chartered boat & ran excursion at a loss of about 1.25 each. The weather so rough could not go on Aug 21st or would have made well as there was about 1000 on shore to go. Page 72 So rough when we landed at the Eau on the 5th could not get to lower decks. Had to get down to foot of Eau in small boats & get home best we could. The schooner Lewis Ross of Port Hope went ashore, helped take the crew off. The Tug Maytham of Cleveland Ohio attempted to rescue but could not. Capt High & Capt & crew of Tug are deserving credit for noble effort & rescuing the men off vessel. Upon the whole, good excitable time.

Dancing Young ladies allow gentlemen privileges in dancing, when taken under any other circumstances would be considered as improper. It requires neither brains nor good muscles to be a good dancer. As the love of the one increases, the love of the men & women in skilful dancing. In ancient times the sexes danced separately. Alcohol is the spirit of beverages, so sex is the spirit of the dance, take it away & let the sexes dance separately & dancing would go out of fashion very soon. Parlour dancing is dangerous. Tippling leads to drunkenness and Parlour dancing leads to ungodly Balls. Tippling & parlour dancing sow the wind & both reap the whirlwind. Put dancing in the crucible, apply the acids, weight it, and the verdict of reason morality & religion is “weighted in the balance and found wanting.” The Chief of Police of New Your city says, “That the families of the abandoned girls in the city were ruined by dancing.” Page 2. Were I so tall to reach the pole, And meet the oceans with my span, I must be measured by my soul, The mind is the standard of the man Page 3 News papers A good newspaper is the grandest temporal blessing that God has given to the people of any country. Opinions sometimes are, that anybody can make a newspaper with the aid of capital. The facts are that fortunes are swallowed up every year in the vain effort to establish newspapers. It is time, in my opinion, that it was understood that unless genius & ability are the basis of the undertaking, that the most successful way to sink a fortune & keep it sunk, is to start a newspaper. To publish a newspaper requires the skill, precision, vigilance, strategy and boldness of a Commander in Chief. �To edit a newspaper one needs to be a statesman, a geographer, a statistician and so far as all acquisitions a concise encyclopaedia. Page 4 There are some women who are unbearable. No love or tenderness can subdue their bickerings. If every want be not instantly gratified they accuse their husbands of not caring for them, and either vent their dissatisfaction in angry words, or worse lapse into sulky silence. Can you wonder that the husbands of such women seek refuge in places of evil resort. A prison is more compassionate than domestic unhappiness. “A fretful temper Will divide The closest knot That can be tied.” Page 5 Clearville Dec 19/82 This day has revealed to me, by sentiments expressed in confidence by an aged Father. One who has struggled through life’s journey to rear and comfort a home for his aged wife & children of small sons & daughters that life is a pilgrimage. One may struggle & fight for our children, they grow up to dishonour their parents, seemingly do everything to destroy the comforts of age, & bring grey hairs & a premature grave, such is the case related; domestic discomfiture instead of domestic happiness, seems to prevail. Remember sons & daughters, your convictions will realize you are slowly but surely murdering your aged & respected Father. Page 6 Never swerve in your conduct from your honest convictions decide, because you see reason for decisions, and then act because you have decided. Let your actions follow the guidance of your judgment & if between them both you go down, go down. It is the only course worth of a man. Page 7 Met at the dedication of the Universalist Church in Detroit in the fall of 1881. The following persons were present: Role Woods Esq Nixon {P. Q.?} Ont �R.W. Cobb Esq. Smithville, Ont. JT Middleton Esq. Hamilton, Ont. R. {Bumar?} ESq. & daughter Olinda, Ont Rev. {C.F.} Dodge  Apr 2/80 – wrote me regarding a location Branchport N.Y. Yates Co. Page 8 West Lyone Prov. Of Manitoba Apr. 15/ 1882 Myself Louisa & Clayton crossed over the Red River on the ice, just before it broke up. The River was supposed to be 4 ft. above its natural level & shortly after crossing, the ice broke up & showed plainly the danger we were in crossing. Brother Theodore & Mrs. George Cummings were with us. Got my luggage across in a small boat. Was taken ill that afternoon & had Dr. Cameron to see me. Met W. J. Gosnell & Wm. English on the banks of the Red River west side. In such trying times how cheering it is to find old acquaintances & true friends. Page 9 Theodore T. Watson Nelsonville, Manitoba May 6/1882 Eugene Watson Nelsonville, Man. May 6/1882 Page 10 Clearville July 11/82 This night brings forth sad remembrances. Two months ago this a.m. my dearest of all earthly treasures was taken from me. Death claimed her as heaven’s own. Sad is such realities but only a matter of time with all beings. Our reunion is sure when my time comes. Henry Page 11 Sabbath Evening Sept 3/82 �This day has been spent under severe trials of sustaining a despondent spirit. Memories of my precious {look} lurk through the mind and imagination says they are with me only to vanish upon reflection of sad reality. They are visionary plain the only consoling comfort. Ida and Linius went home & to the fairchilds Suffered nearly all day with headache at home with Clayton Mary & Becca. Page 12 Mix first hope & then despair, how sad is life in such a mood. --- How said it is to convene around the grave of the dead to see the tears & hear the sobs of the survivors stricken & mourning friends. Only “A little while” Job xvi-18. Death is the great conqueror. Life’s activity is only a little while. The sun goes down and death transforms all. Page 13 The spirit departeth How calm the repose The pale lily bloometh Whence fadeth the rose; But there is no death Only transfiguration The yielding of breath For the glorification OH God, to that faith To the heart’s consolation. -- Not dead not dead, Only gone to the giver Awaiting the weepers Just over the river Only gone by the path That the blesses have trod To walk with the saints In the city of God. Page 14 Died At Nelsonville, Prov. of Manitoba. My dear companion –wife- Louisa on the morning of May 6th 1882 at 1a.m. The mind is incompetent to express the Heart’s feeling under most trying times, I have the confidence to feel There is another loving hand �To heaven’s harp strings given Another gentle seraph’s voice, Another star in heaven. Page 15 Nov 18th 1882 A.D. My birthday Sat. A lovely day all sunshine no shadow. Sad is the remembrance & position from one yr ago but life’s cross we must bear and fight our destinies with fortitude. I was home all day with Ida, Lucy, Mary & Becca McDougal & my precious little boy Clayton. Linnius was at the Eau boating. A peculiar day as telegraphing was intercepted by magnetic aerial interception. Messages were heard without the aid of batteries etc. Northern lights were bright.

Page 18 A word, a look, which at one time makes no impression, at another time wounds the heart, & like a shaft flying with the wind pierces deep, which with its own natural force would scarce reach the object aimed at. Page 19 A solid statement embodying much political reasoning illustrating genius, capital, money, skill, business, foolishness & labour. Tennayson can take a worthless sheet of paper & by writing a poem on it making it worth $5000 & that’s genius. Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper & make it worth $5,000,000 & that’s capital. The United States can take an ounce & a quarter of gold & stamp upon it an “Eagle Bird” & “Twenty dollars” & that’s money. A mechanic can take material worth $5 & make it into a watch worth $100 & that’s skill. The merchant can take an article worth 50c & sell it to you for $1.00 that’s business. Page 20 A lady can purchase a very comfortable bench for $10 but prefers to pay $100 that’s foolishness. The ditch digger works 10 hrs a day & shovels out 3 or 4 tons of earth for $1.00 that’s labour. Died At Ridydom on Friday morning {here?} 8th at 5 am, Little only old, smallest child I ever saw. Weighed wo pounds when Born. Why should such a little innocent Babi suffer as it did for days before death. Page 21 All over the world there are women who endeavour to satisfy the hunger of their own hearts with the devotion of man who inspires them with reverence & tenderness perhaps, but who fail utterly to rouse in them the deep strong love of which they are by nature capable. Sometimes before it burst over their heads then feel the cold dark shadow of the storm clouds which is to wreck their dearest hopes & flood their souls with misery.

Mr Isaac Gardner & self chartered boat & ran excursion at a loss of about 1.25 each. The weather so rough could not go on Aug 21st or would have made well as there was about 1000 on shore to go. Page 72 So rough when we landed at the Eau on the 5th could not get to lower decks. Had to get down to foot of Eau in small boats & get home best we could. The schooner Lewis Ross of Port Hope went ashore, helped take the crew off. The Tug Maytham of Cleveland Ohio attempted to rescue but could not. Capt High & Capt & crew of Tug are deserving credit for noble effort & rescuing the men off vessel. Upon the whole, good excitable time.
