Well-known resident dies at 82 On Monday, May 25, Harvey A. Mac- Dougall of Bayfield passed away in University Hospital at the age of 82. He was born in Chicago but moved with his parents at an early age to the 4th con- cession of Kinloss, near Lucknow. Educated at the "Grey Ox" and . the Lucknow High School, he entered Teachers' College in Toronto and began a teaching career in Ontario and the West. Always concerned with the welfare of others, he became actively involved with Co-operatives in their earliest form, always trying to better living conditions for others. This involved the holding of various officesin co-operative organiza- tions. uso-o aniza- p g tions. Eventually he found it necessary to move to the West for health reasons and while there was active in the tourist business at Jaspar. Quite a number of years were then spent in the North West Territories and the Queen Charlotte Islands. Improvements in his health enabled him to return to Ontario and once again he became involved with co-operative work by accepting a position with the Co- operators Insurance. At this time he mar- ried Doris Soden of Willowdale and from 1952 to 1969 he served in offices in Toronto, Owen Sound and Guelph until his retire- ment to Bayfield. Never one to be idle, and proud of his Scottish ancestory, he worked diligently for several years to establish a memorial to the early settlers from the Isle of Skye who had settled in the Grey Ox area of. Kinloss. Mainly through his efforts, suffi- cient money was raised to establish and provide for perpetual care of an attractive memorial stone. This aroused further in- terest in the area and this led to the pro- duction of an historical booklet entitled "Tales of the Grey Ox". Always interested in nature and the preservation of it for future generations he became very active in encouraging the return and preservation of the bluebirds in the Bayfield and Lucknow areas. He was instrumental in forming the Bayfield Bluebird Club which provided over 500 nesting boxes for the birds. An ongoing record was maintained as long as Harvey was physically able to do so. Perhaps Harvey's greatest attribute was his optimistic outlook at all times, plus an enviable ability to always look for the redemming features of all whom he met. His pleasant and non- judgrnenal nature endeared him to one and all. His influence was far-reaching and he will be greatly missed.
