"WEE Boo's" DEAD.—James Mc-
Michael, one of the earliest pioneers
of Huron Oounty. died at his home in
Seafortb early Monday at the age of
89 years. His death is mourned by a
large number of relatives and friends,
8510 became warmly attached to hlrn
by his genial disposition. Mr. Mc-
Michael was born in , Karkomains,
near Sanquhar, Durnfries-shire, Scot-
land, March 9, 1823. At the age of
18 years he came to Canada with his
parents. At this time he had served
four years learning the joiner's trade,
which he followed for 10 years after
his arrival in this country. One year
after his arrival, he bought a fatal of
one hundred acres in Hullett, for
which he paid $225. He cleared six
acres, and then rented it forgive years
for the clearing of 20 acres. Mr. Mc-
Michael was the fleet tax gatherer in
Hullett. The taxes on his own place
were eight shillings and sixpence,
which is about two dollars of our
money. At that time the English'
money system was in use iu this
country. In I852 he went_to Aus-
tralia. As there were no steamers
the voyage was made by sail boat and
occn •e
d sixteen weeks. On his ar•
rival there 'he went to work in the
gold diggings, a rather hazardous em-
ployment as the miners then mostly
consisted of criminals who had been
transported from other countries.
The method of extracting gold from
quartz was then unknown and the
mining was mostly done by eachman
digging for himself. This work Br
v.
ing him sore eyes he retrained at it
only four months, and then turned to
his trade taking some contracts for
building. He remained four years in
Australia and then returned to Scot-
land, going by way of Cape Ror'n.
While there he melded Margaret
Laidlaw, of Dumfries -shire, He
brought his bride to Hullett, and im-
mediately
built
a Bt011e house On his
farm, where he lived for 20 years.
With his wife, he made two trips.
hack to his native land, the first in
1877 and the second in 1883. Two
