CountyIanark where he remained till the year 1851 when be moved to this township, and has resided here ever since. Of sturdy build and possessed of the indomitable pluck, characteristic of his race. he tackled with determined will the work which gave promise of healthy compete ence for himself and those dependent on the fruit of his laborious toil. How much the undaunted yoeman and thousands of his own and other na- tionalities had to undergo in those times to accomplish the grand object ever uppermost in their minds, have now become landmarks of Canadian history; heroic 'efforts in behalf of a country's industrial progress worthy to point a moral or adorn a tale to this and succeeding generations.
