Elliott - Where else but in Canuta would a girl of 12 drive a team .and covered wagon 300 miles over uninhabited prairie and 'nearly '70 years afterward travel in a feW hours froln VancOnver to Toronto and Peterborough to visit a few of her 12 grand- children? Where else would a Huron fa mer's descendants, 75 of t em ; assemble to celebrate the 8th anniversary of ;his arrival in the West, with a former Prirne Minister among the guests? William Miller was that farmer, and he reached the infant settle- ment of Prince Albert, in what is now Saskatchewan, amid the turmoil of the ,first Riel lion. ' By .great good fortune the story of his migration in 1870 and much of his family's history thereafter has been recorded by Margaret McKenzie, daughter of William Miller and grand- daughter of Richard Miller, who came from Berwickshire, Scot- land, to settle in Morris town- ship in 1853. Mrs. McKenzie lived in many different places, travelled Much, and lived to a great age. She died in a Prince Alpert nursing home about 1949. }She was the mother-in-law of Mrs. Norma McKenzie and grandmother of Mrs. Arnold Best, 220 Wellington St. South, Goderldh.. After some years in Peteilearough . they have been resident in Godetich about two years. Mr. Best is employed with' the Beatty Farm Service,Centre in Clinton. They have found it- interest- ing, to visit the farm in Conces- sion 1,, Morris (Lots 55-56) on which" the Millers settled in 1853. The Crown grant is registered in the' name of John R., who came. to' Huron,e. year . before his parents. The prbperty has been in the Wheeler family fora half-century. Richard Miller and Margaret Thompson, Who were married 'in Scotland in 182.6, reached Canada' in S. eelling vessel, the voyage taking 10 weeks. •A published history of Morris township states that they "stopped over at Harpurhey," (then a bigger place than Seaforth) and reachbd Brus- sels over a 'bush trail. (Morris had only recently been surveyed.) . Their son Johp R., who had emigrated .to New York State three years earlier,' reached Morris in 1853; '-along with a brother, William; a sister, Margaret, and four friends. The latter included Robert and George Moffatt, members of a family which' took an inapokant part in the development of the township: and• cbuid , Well be the subject by • itself of' a historical narrative. John Miller.; to whom- the Crown patent on Lot 55 was issued, took' a n active part in community affairs, was a cap- tain in the Huron militia for 30 years, an elder in Wroxeter Presbyterian Churchfor 35 years, and was also a magistrate. He died in 1915, aged' 84. • In the Spring of 1870, William- Miller decided to go to the Red •• Local Briefs Mr. Bob McCowan, Seaforth and 'Mr.and Mrs. Calvin Bisback of Clinton sPent a week in Ken- tuckY recently. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Eaton of Toronto and Mrs. Eaton's mother Mrs. Ti.vigt, ,of Holland, spent the weekend with relatives in Seaforth.

It was the year the province of Manitoba was set up, taking in the Assiut- . boia district. On April 20 the parents and five children, the eldest 11, left Wroxeter and drove S_eafoxth,„' nearest railway point. Nothing is recorded 're- garding what must have been an adventurous journey to the end of the rail line at St. Cloud, Minnesota. - There the family spent two weeks getting together an outfit' for the 300-mile trek (here the word is used correctly) to Fort Gard' (now Winnipeg). Teams of horses and yokes of oxen hauled prairie schooners in which the passengers slept at night, Following the trail, along the Red River, they took. four weeks to reach Pembina, and at the border ran into the outskirts of the Riel Rebellion. Stopped by a party of horsemen, they had to await 'arrival of Cot. Garnet Wolseley's soldiers. By, the time the 'Millers got 'to Fort Garry, the rebels had de- serted it. They found the future Winnipeg a village of about 250, "with a saloon on every corner. selling Hudson Bay rum." The municipal waterworks system consisted 'of a cart drawn by a big red. and white ox. After a winter here, • the Millers went bn to a homestead 15 miles 'farther west, about where Stoney Mountain Peni- tentiary stands today. When application was made for a post -office, Mrs. Millee suggested the 'name Rockwood, and Rock-' 'wood it is today. Two and a half years later, Mr. Miller moved his familY to Prince Albert, accompanied.. by Morrison MoBeath. and family, and others. This time there were four wagons, 30 carts and 50 head of 'cattle. The party was :six weeks on the journef.', plowing through .mud and fording streams in the roadless country. "I was 12," Mrs, McKenzie recerded; "drove a team the Whole 300 miles. A party of 'Indians under Chief Beardy, who had joined the rebels, 'et:added a contribution for allowing us to pass through., We' crossed the South SaskatChewin en a ferry at /Vick Fisher's, but it,. took us three days to swim the cattle. We arrived at Prince Albert in July,` 1873. Father 'squatted' on a piece ,of land east of the Hucrson Bay reserve; there' was no survey or land office there until years later. "In the Fall of 1874 my sister was married to. Adam McBeath, and they were the first white couple to be _married in PrAtice Albert if ' not in Saskatchewan., On January 1, 1880, I was married to John McKenzie, of Pictou, N,S, My husband'built and operated the first steam sawmill and flour mill in Prince. Albert for C apt. Moore, an enterprising young Irishman who bought the' machinery in the United State's, ,brought it Own the river in flat boats and then hauled' it 500 miles overland.With oxen." The McKenzies had eight children, '12 .grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, now scat- tered throughout Canada and the United States. In 1946, mrs. McKenzie was able to visit Wives Mill at Prince Albert, wfiere a sister still lived in the house built 63 years earlier. - The 98th anniversary of the arrival in 187.2 of William Miller at Prince Albert waa 'Marked when 75 descendants attended a „gathering at Ed-'s Inn there.
