The next son was John, and by factor of his Uncle John, he' was marked for a professional education. The father had, therefore, decided to leave the two farms to the next boys, Peter and James. .Peter was to have Loot 24 and the small part of Lot 23, -which led to the river. James was to have the home Lot 25, and the two were to—compensate the rest of the family. Alexander was to get. $3,000 and John $1000, to be paid by Peter. The youngest son, William, was to re- ceive $3,000 and the three girls, Jan- et,. Mary and Isabelle, $500 each, and tbis duty went to 'James with the $1,500 in the bank as consolation. Both sons, were to complete the pay- ments to the Hannah family on Lot 24 and. each should pay his mother 150 a year. The terms'imposed heavy mortgages on the farms and did, not assign the amounts of compensation on any good, principle. Alexander and William received more than their due and the girls much less.

The outcqme was, of course, beyond the horizon of the . young neap of 17, who had a farm to look afterf and a load of debt to dis- eharge. He had fair success in pay- ing the satins allotted to him, and by 1901 he had full, release from his .bro- thee and sisters. ' The financial her - dee did not prevent improvement of the farm equipment; he and Peter purchased a binder and a mower, kept the reaper for the peas and were well abreast of current developments in farm machinery. The gardens fell to the care of Archibald Campbell, Uncle Archie to the „nephews, nieces and their chil- dren. This man had been the only "boy in a family of seven children, a situation' almost Uniformly disastrous to the boy. Ile had been..petted and spoiled by mother and sisters, and what is worse, had inherited a ten- dency to shiftlessness. Growing up in Irrumhead-Tire had tried farm work and in 1851 was engaged with a Mr. Graham, of Lochend, Kilmarnock. In 1859 he was ploughman to a Mr. Todd near iGlassgow. But he found the labor a strain as he complains in his let- ter of July 20, 1860, about the rising at midnight to go into Glasgow, the icy roads, the trouble with the horses and the harsh words of the master. Archie accordingly took service with a spirit and potato merchant in Glas- gow. and shortly conceived the notion of setting up for himself in the liquor business. He applied fot a license in 1860 and was refused at first,. notice' of the fact being put into the Glas- gow newspapers. His sifter, Isobel, in McKillop, learned of this ambition sith dismay and wrote to him that she v -as glad he had failed. The -fail- ure was only temporary, and the next application was successful. Archie open,ed a public house and wrote a long letter of apology So Isobel about it. But he had not the ability to manage even a',.."pub" and the enter- prise came to grief. He decided next to emigrate to the new land, where opportunities might he better than in Scotland. In the fall of 1868 he came to Canada and made his home with James and Isobel, save .for two or three summers' work on farms near • Brantford. But the same trouble pills sued him as in Scotland, and he nev- er got on his. economic feet. He was not exactly lazy; he could do a day's work with any man, and as gardener, he kept the grounds around the house in excellent condition. But he was totally lackingkin initiative and ambi- tion. He likeli-to dress well andowas happiest in a new suit.of clothes go- ing to church. Orce he Went hack to Scotland. and presently sent word to McKillop that he. had married a wealthy woman. Nobel was greatly pleased, thinking that at last her brother was 5Ottied and provided for. About a year later she was looking out if the kitchen window and saw Archie coming tip the walk. What had happened, was never clear to the children of the house, but It was cer- tain that he and his wife had sep- arated to their mutual satisfaction after a minimum of married life. The family' suspected that he had married her for her money, end she had mar-. ried. for' his, and that both were wrong in their financial exipectations. At any rate there was an end of his matrimonial experiences. He lived with his relatives in McKillop, chief- iv- on the .home. farm. He died at Alex Gardiner's in 1906 and was bur- ied in the cmetery at Maitlandbank. In the eighties there was trouble with another Campbell. Elisabeth Campbell, of Wisconsin, daughter of the John who had led the migration there, arrived 1-n McKillop for a long visit. She had married a man named Witter, and divorced him, and was still young and inclined to a second venture in matrimony. She .commenc- ed going about with Dave Dorrance, but in no settled 'faShion, and was featly to consider other offers. Isobel was uneasy at the disturbance to her ,young men Caused by the attractive stranger's presence, and after some months informed the guest that she must go. She ,went to the Gardiner's Slid back to Wisconsin, where she contracted a more successful marriage 'with Herbert P. Reid. In her letter of 1930 she left a'pleasing picture of family life as she' remembered it— all the family around _the kitchen table Saturday night getting lessons ready for the Sabbath, and on other occasions playing croquet on the lawn. 'In the nineties, other cousins ap- peared. Two Ferguson boys, 20 or 21, came from New York, stayed for a winter and argued with Aunt Isobel over the niceties of -Presbyterian con- duct, they being city dwellers.and lax. Mrs. Daniel 'Ferguson also came from New York with two or three children. These had their fun around the farm and dropped so many stones into the well that James was obliged to remove the pun b to effect a clear- ance. Their' stay was short, but Ag - lies Ferguson came' from the same city in 1892 and remained so long that I & sobel was obligeto suggest depar- ture. About 1907 Dan Ferguson ar- rived from. the naertonolls; he had 'List 'married a woman who had a farm and wanted some lessons in the art of farming. But he could not do much in a short time, especially from mentors too busy to :give him time and thought. He proceeded to give usc-lessons political science, being supercilious about 'kings. After a week or so he returned to New York, and nothing has bash heard of the 'F.ergusons there since that time. Isobel was keenly interested in the flights of her fiedgkengs, of whom'Janet was. the first. '1" 'The Gardhlers were alwayt gthad friends of the Kerr's from times betore 'the migration.

To go back to the Adam Madill of the home- stead, we may say that his daughter, Margaret, lived and died single 'on the hOniestead, Elizabeth came to New York, married a William Mc- Cracken, and had two girls and one boy. Marry Ann married a. Joseph Madill, of County Cavan, retaining her name, and came with him to Can- ada in the 1860's, first to Toronto., then to Fergus. They had five chil- dren of whom four reached maturity; Margaret, Nellie and Adam, who liv- ed in Fergus. and jogeph who mar- riel Maude Tindale, of Fergus, and' became district passenger agent for the C..N.R. in Alberta. This Joseph has one son who graduated from Ed- monton University in 1939 in engin- eering. Margaret. and Nellie died in 11942 and. 1947, But we return to the village of Drum and to the •direct inc of descent of Elizabeth Madill. Drum is a pleasant little village at the foot of which are five small lakes, and is the centre of a gond agricultural area. The farms and buildings are in good condition and the region is undoubt- edly one of the better parts of Ire- land. The people of Dram are chiefly Protestant. Monaghan is one of , the few counties of the Ii•fsh Free .State where the Protestants are numerous enough to have political influence. market -town is Cootehill, four miles away, and mostly Roman Catholic, though with a fair Protestant element. Drum has two churches, the Church of Ireland' (like the Anglican), and the Presbyterian, which the Madills attended. We visited Drum in 1932, sueceecl- ed in finding Adam and establishing relationship. He had just lost his wife; he had two daughters, Mar- garet and Elizabeth. Margaret bad married John Anderson; he had died and left her with three children: Stewart, Aileen and Fred. Her sis- ter had married George Hall, of the farm called Lattycopple, about four miles from Drum. and had a dangle ter, Ivy. It was at Lattycopple that we •saw Adam in 1932 and identified ourselves as distant cousins. He was a strong Orangeman and a Black, knight, and his sash and symbols re- mained in the Anderson parlor. Mar- garet was managing a store, After Adam's death, George Halltook over the Madill farm, HS well as bis own. A cousin,. Joseph Madill, had a farm out, of Drum and was the only bearer of the name in the region'at the time of our stay. John Anderson had at- tended the Church of Ireland and Mapgaret continued (herd after his death, The Presbyterian 'Church Is a. quarter -mile out of Drum; it is served by the minister of Cootehill. We were Most hospitably received and have a pleasa.at, memory of our visit to the Madills of Drum. John Madill. born in 1813, emigrat- ed to Canada in the 1830's and' settled in Clarke Township, north of Newton- ville, Durham County. He took a farm which is to be reached by a.journd- 3% miles north of NewtOnville, 11/4 east to Shiloh Church,' and half a mile north from that. John did some business with Newcastle, but. for a principal market town preferred Port Hope. 17 miles away John was a member of the Orange Order, belong- ing to the lodge of Port Hope. Like most of the brethren in nu,- he w-a.'s. a strong opponent of William Lyon Mackenzie. When the men of Clarke heard that Mackenzie was • in reVIS1t in December, 1837, a thousand of them Marched to Toronto to help the govern - Ment pilt him down, and prominent among the thousand was John Madill. At one halt he got up on it stone and delivered an exhortation td • his friends 10 suppress the rebele. Tile speech so impressed the officer in.

John Kerr, the elder, was married at age 76, she talked,of the `iauld4ule." 'tut" reconciled herself to the change. politics she was a Liberal of the stiffest sort. Hearing that one of the Tuckersmith Dicksons had changed his politics to get a job under a Con- servative government, she was furious although she barely knew the man. She uttered biting opinions about Conservatives, even in front of her daughter-inlaw. who was one of them, and in presence of guests. One such Robert McLeod. took the opportun- ity to wink at the young woman dur- ing one of these tirades, and politics may have been Isobel's weakness. In 1901 she had passed her 71st birthday and could well look forward to another ten or fifteen years of life. But on May 12. of that year, about 5 p.m., the family went into the par- lor and found her on the floor in her black dress. She had been in. the bedroom- and had come put to the parlor when a paralytic' stroke over came her. When discovered, she was dead. She was buried on the..14th be- side her husband in Maitlandbank cemetery. 'The eighties and nineties saw the florescence Of rural Ontario. The hard labor of pioneering was over and the second generation had merely to keep things going.. Log houses had given place to brick; fences and buildings were new. and -grounds gen- erally cared for. Families were large, shared the work and supplied young people in plenty for entertainments. For the summer there were croquet games on the lawns, picnics in the woods, excursions to Goderich by the lake, For the fall there was the ex- hibition at Toronto and a few 'days' stay in the city. For the winter there were skating parties, sleigh rides and long visits at the homes of 'aunts and cousins elsewhere in the province. The villages still flourished; churches, temperance and Orange halls provid- ed centres of community. life. Every- one attended church; the temperance movement was on the increase; rough habits were in increasing disfavor, and the moral horizon seemed bright. There 'was keen interest in the new machin4S---binders, threshers, sel)ara- tors, buggies and decorations in har- ness. Bicycles were coming in, and of course, found their way to the Kerr farm. The first, the spider type with enormous front wheels, speedily gave way to the modern type. Men and women could look about them and see that all was good, in the smiling land that had succeeded the forest. Libraries were available and provid- ed novels like those of Dickens, Thackeray and Scott. It escaped no- tice that the works on divinity re- mained more on the shelves and that the second generation rarely bought books, to read. In furniture, the rage was for the shiny new kind' made in the factories, much inferior in design, material and detail to tbe work of the old cabinet makers. Something of the breadth 'of view, the intellectual and artistic interest of the first genera- tion bad been 1 st. But the second generatidn, not are of it, were none the less happ Chapter VI The Hillens and the' Madills In 1893 Mattha Sane Hillen was teaching school in Winthrop. She was the eldest child of James Hilien and Elizabeth Madill, both of north Irish extraction. The .11111ens _came from County Armagh, from the area of Newtonhamllton and Newry, but from what precise community has been fer- gotten. The origin of the .Madills, however, is beyond a doubt the vil- lage of Drum., in Monaghan County. Family tradition has it that one Madill had been in the garrison of Derry during the siege of 1889-90( and like his comrades, was on a ration of • horse meat .:befOre relief arrived from. lihiglandt After that Mint he was go. ing along a road with tWo.

Kerr. (4) Elizabeth, born October 16, 1845, married James Hillen, January 1, 1866, the clergyman being the Reverend Mullen of NeWton- vine. She died December 17, 1935. (5) John, the only son, born July 12, 1847. The- date fitted the family tra- ditions well, and at the age of two John had learnt this ditty: John Madill from Cootehill, An Irishman and an Orangeman, And a sprig from old King Willie Who crossed the Boyne, 'Phe Orange up:bringing, however, did not hold him in Canada, He left Clarke at the age of 17, went to Michi- ken, tried lumberingeinill work, the police force of Bay City, and finally bought a farm in Merritt Township in 1874. He cleared it and built a house, which his sister, Rachel, kept for him until in 1883 he married El- len Dixon, after which event Rachel married Richard Beenett. John had a family of seven, who have many des- cendants by this time. (6) Rachel, the Mrs. Richard Bennett just men- tioned, who died 1887, leaving one child, Effie, who became Mrs. Rach- AVitz and has four children.

They moved to Singharnptoh, near Collingwood, and had a family of three: Hilliard, who° died single, Dille who married Thomas Dyer, and Bea- trice for some time a graduate nurse in MineOla Long Island. It will be seen that Michigan attracted three of John Madill's family and holds most of the present Madills of this branch. They have, •of eourse becomewell Americanized. Our interei_t lies es- pecially in Elizabeth, No. 4 above, who married James Hilien. , (Continued Nex: Week) Werry is Wrong It's bad enough to worry over real troubln; it' 8 positively harmful to fret and fuss over little things. Medical experts at Ottawa go further, and de- clare that much fear and worry is+.a.' form of sheer self-indiiigence.. A call goes out to "martyrs" to ill- ness to battle, instead of buckling down to, their ailments.
