Inn his retirement he lived with his brother, to whom 'he was deeply attached. Their home was on a large holding of lands an what was later 'known as Dunlop's Hill, high up on the 'banks of the Maitland, commanding a beau- tifulview over the river valley and the waters of Lake Huton'to the west beyond. They called their estate "SGairbraid," in memory of their moth- er's home in !Scotland. On the death of the Doctor's mother his father re- married, having by his second wife four sons and five daughters. !As Robert and William did not get on ful English, becoming a contributor to "Blaokwoad's Magazine." He sub - Sequently wrote "Slke'tches of Upper Canada" and "'Defence of the Canada Company" in .1181316. very well with their step'm'other, 'they soon quitted their home for distant parts. There was a strong bond of affection between the two bachelor brothers, so 'different in oharacter, ap- pearance and tem'per'ament. In death they were not divided, (They both sleep their 'long sleep 'beneath the cairn that marks their resting -peace, Which I have seen as a young lad. Doctor Dunlop was educated in the University of Edinbungh, taking his medical degree in that University's famous School of Medicine, In '18113 he was appointed assistant surgeon to the 89th 'Reginment.

Dhe central figure was Sir Walter Scott, who proved the very etfrcienit stage neanager for the Corporation of Edinburgh in the his- toric reception in IEd'in'bargli to His Matjesty King 'George the Foutith,. when Sir Walter received his baron- etcy. London 'galaxy of 'literary tall - met then embraced such great names in our literature as those of Coler- idge, Byron, Garles !Lamb, De Quin- cey, IHaz itt, Leigh Hunt and Words- worth. Ut was the .romantic age of English literature. It set the high Jit- enary tone of the age. Before the era of magazines and periodicals literary intel'lec'tuals found an outlet for their literary gifts in the formal and stately letters and official despatches of state officials to their superior officers. The "Turkish Letters" written by Lady Mary Wortely Montague, wife of the British ambassador at Constantinople, to her daughter the Countess of Bute may be placed in the literary category of the letters of Madame De Sevigne to her daughter, which Lord Mac- aulay once 'declared to be most per- fect pieces of waiting. So here in the somewhat primitive stage pf pioneer life in the "Queen's Bush" we find in the. early days of last century these two literary intellectuals, Galt and Dunlop. Dr. 'Dunlop set sail for Canada in Au.gus't, '115113; to join his 'regim'en't the 891th Connaught Rangers (the ,officer commanding being 'Col. Mossis,on), then engaged in active service in the War 'df t&12e1;4. He arrived in 'Que- bec in (N'ovem'ber. The British bri- gade under ,ehe eansmand of Col.

Sn the .following IJuly Dunlop was at the Battle of Lun'dy's Lane, He attended to lenge numbers of wounded in But- ler's Barracks down at 'N'ia'gara River, later at Chippewa and at Fort 'E'rie.

The two 'bachelor brothers had a very respectable Scots woman, Louisa Mc- Coll (" Lau"), for their housekeeper. The Doctor proposed one day to the Captain that out of regard for the con- ventions for "Mother 'Grundy" one of them should marry Lou. They agreed to abide by the toss of a penny, the best three .out of ,five to be relieved of the duty of wedding Lou. The Doctor took "heads" and won. The Captain dutifully wedded Lou. After the wed- ding the Doctor showed them the penny, specially made for him. Lou proved a good wife for the Captain, and a devoted friend''to both brothers. The Doctor in his last illness at Cote St. 'Paul sent for Lou, who carne and tenderly nursed him through the sum- mer. He requested that in the event of his death his body should lie be- side itis brother's at "Gairbraid." Lou loyally tarried out the lDoctsr's 'dy- ing, wishes. There they . sleep side by side in that peaceful spot at 'Gait - braid" on the banks of the lovely river in which so often as a lad I swam and fished: Fn stmmmertime its banks are clothed with that deep velvet -'like venture of 'hardwood !forest trees, maple, cit n, ash and beech. Through the lush grassy valley softly flows the river, singing its low eternal melody, as it winds gently onward to join tate c.rystaline sparkling waters of that great inland sea, Lake .Heron. What more 'fitting resting place could there be for such a lover of 'the beautiful, for such a loyal, stalwart and .cheery friend of his fellow -men. •"Aifter life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Let 'us :honor elle 'memory of our pioneers., and while we 'forget their frailties' may we ever seek to emulate their vitrtues, and build upon that civ- ilization to which we are Heirs, and hand it on unsullied, and more bene- ficent than we 'found it, to our c'h'ild-; ren and ichild'ren's children.

The two 'bachelor brothers had a very respectable Scots woman, Louisa Mc- Coll (" Lau"), for their housekeeper. The Doctor proposed one day to the Captain that out of regard for the con- ventions for "Mother 'Grundy" one of them should marry Lou. They agreed to abide by the toss of a penny, the best three .out of ,five to be relieved of the duty of wedding Lou. The Doctor took "heads" and won. The Captain dutifully wedded Lou. After the wed- ding the Doctor showed them the penny, specially made for him. Lou proved a good wife for the Captain, and a devoted friend''to both brothers. The Doctor in his last illness at Cote St. 'Paul sent for Lou, who carne and tenderly nursed him through the sum- mer. He requested that in the event of his death his body should lie be- side itis brother's at "Gairbraid." Lou loyally tarried out the lDoctsr's 'dy- ing, wishes. There they . sleep side by side in that peaceful spot at 'Gait - braid" on the banks of the lovely river in which so often as a lad I swam and fished: Fn stmmmertime its banks are clothed with that deep velvet -'like venture of 'hardwood !forest trees, maple, cit n, ash and beech. Through the lush grassy valley softly flows the river, singing its low eternal melody, as it winds gently onward to join tate c.rystaline sparkling waters of that great inland sea, Lake .Heron. What more 'fitting resting place could there be for such a lover of 'the beautiful, for such a loyal, stalwart and .cheery friend of his fellow -men. •"Aifter life's fitful fever he sleeps well."
