The Huron Expositor, 1948-04-30, Page 7story of the Kerram
—From Scotland to Huron
(By WILFRED BRENTON KER•R)
(Continued from last week)
Alexander Kerr, third of the
migrants of the 1850'x, was a capable
man, a prominent figure in local poli-
tics, a good 'public speaker, farmer
and church member, as we have
seen. He read a good deal and kept
himself well informed. He smoked a
pipe, but refrained from lighting it or
Sundays until he had got home iron
church, which was a fine point' el
Sunday etiquette. He built up an es
tate which surpassed that of either oP
his brothers. He had lot 24, recon
concession, lot 20, tenth concession,
lot 23, seventh' concession, and •the
south half of lot 21, seventh conces
.ion„ to a total vaiue in real estate
of nearly $17,000, with personalty not
counted. These lots went to his sons:
Lot 20 to Alexander, lot 24 to John
lot 23 to Archie,,,the half of lot 21 to
William. After financial adjustments
were made, the girls had sums of
nit ney, Archie and William had the
farm implements and the livestock„
Alexander had eight children. Eliz-
abeth, who married Adam Dickson,
and had five children. Oharles, Alex-
ander, Archie, Jack and Helen. The
,Dicicsons had the farm between
those of John and Alexander Kerr,
through which the river, runs. Even-
tually they sold it, and retired to Sea -
forth where Adam. died in .1921 and
his wife in 1937. All the boys mar -
ar-ried. Charlie;:a rallwyman in they
Ti ed.
West, had five girls' and two boys.)
Some of these are married and have
families of their own.
JanetKerr, sister, of the migrants,
remained in Scotland as Mrs. Wm.
Hodgson. To judge from her letters
of 1852, she was not as well educated

her husband, who was a culti-
vated man. Nevertheless, she was a
capable wife and mother. Unlike her
husband, she never came much under
the public eye, perhaps' feeling at a
disadvantage 'before him and their
children. The obituary describes her
aa a lady of singularly gentle and
amiable temperament. In 1902 she
contracted a severe and painful ill-
ness from which she passed' away on
Dec. 10 of that year, at the age of 70.
d Her husband' had been born in the
west *of Scotland in 1831. How he be-
came acquainted with the Kerrs of
Dunipace, and with Janet in particu-
lar, is not known. After his marriage
he entered the field of journalism, in
the office of the Glasgow'Bulletin: Be-
fore long he moved to Edinburgh to
the Caledonian Mercury, and in 1864
he went to Cupar, Fifeshire, to the
Fifeshire Journal. He was editor of
this publication until May, 1886, when
he retired and was succeeded.,by A.
B. and Robert Bell and C. D. 'Baynes.
The Journal was the local Conserva-
tive organ and had a difficult time in
a predominantly Liberal Scotland, but
the obituary credits him with vigor,
independence p encs and good judgment as
an editor•. In another way he was of
a minority. He and his. family went
to St. James' Episcopal Church in
Cupar, abandoning the Presbyterian-
ism of the Tierra. They Iived in a
house called Westpark. William was
well known to the press men of his
time in London, Edinburgh and Glas-
gow. He was interested in the stage
and knew some leading actors like Sir
Henry Irving. He interviewed import-
ant figures like Carlyle in 1874 and
Dean Stanley, who became Rector of
St, Andrew's University. He publish-
ed a book, ;'Sketches, Personal and
Pensive," Edinburgh, David Douglas,
1884, chiefly reminiscences of Edin-
burgh and Glasgow. He was fond of
company and much in demand on so-
cial occasions. He had a powerful
tenor voice and would sing or speak
at dinners. He was a leading mem-
ber of the Cupar Choral Union, and
on occasion made a particularly fine
rendering of "Sound. An Alarm" from.
the oratorio, "Judas IVlaccabeus," and
the family in McKillop were proud of
such a locally distinguished man for
a brother-in-law and uncle. ,,,When he
retired. he' received handsome testi-
monials, including a gold watch from
friends in different parts of the coun-
try. In later years, as friend after
friend passed away, he felt the soli-
tude -of his position, but retained to
the end a keen interest in literature
and events. He enjoyed good health
until Friday, Nov. 12, 1909. On that
day he was taken seriously ill, and
on Wednesday, Nov. 17, he passed
away, being 78 years old. The Hodg-
sons had two sons, John Alexander
and William Earl, and two daughters,
Jessie Reid and Jane Hannah.
Jessie, the' elder of the girls, grew
up to be the belle of Cupar and ap-

Jane Hannah,„inherited Westpark and of the Scottish . News,Glasgow, took
him from Aberdeen and made him
chief leader writer for the News.
Here he wrote one or more articles
every night, but shortly the paper
was merged with the Evening News
and William Earl was out of a job.
He now tried his fortune in London.
About 1888-89 Watson Lyall, of Perth,
founded the weekly Rod and Gun and
asked Hodgson to become acting edi-
tor. He accepted and greatly improv-
ed the appearance of the paper. How
long he continuedn this job is not
known to the writer, but in 1894 or
1895 H,dgson literally ran into what
.promised to be a better place. While
cycling in the Strand one day,, he
t ollided with Sir George Newnes, who
was on foot. Sir George asked who
he was„ and on learning the nail',
abandoned his wrath and asked Hodg-
son to lunch. Across the table he
asked the guest to be editor of a daily
which he was planning on new lines.
Hodgson accepted and aaw the little
affair "paragraphed” extensively in
the press. He gathered about him a
number of young university men and
launched the paper under the title,
Daily Courier. In style it was a fore-
runner of the Daily Mail, with its
tendency to the sensational and its
appeal to the. Less educated reader.
Hodgson instructed the sub -editors
that every news -heading was to be
an epigram, and he remained at the
office frequently until 1.30 a.m. He
did not at first write the leaders. He
was to receive £1,00.0 per annum, but
for some months he took the place of
chief leader -writer too and annexed
the ,salary to a grand total of £2,000
a year, This was the maximum of his
career and was too good to last: In
spite of his best efforts, the Daily
Courier was not a success and expir-
ed after about a year.
He went next to an eminent quar-
terly, the Anglo-Saxon Review„ found -
eq by .Mrs. Cornwallis -'Pest, the for-
mer Lady Randolph Spencer Church-
ill. Each issue of this magazine had
an extensive leather binding with var-
iations every quarter, and the price
was a guinea a copy. In these cir-
cumstances the Anglo-Saxon Review
was not a success either, and it stop-
ped at the end of 1901. Hodgson
thereupon, joined the Pall Mall Gaz-
ette as political leader writer under
Sir Douglas Straight. This was an
evening paper, and Hodgson's work
began at 6 a.m. He read all the morn-
ing papers before nine, and at that
hour Sir Douglas came into the of-
fice and indicated the subject of the
leader. Hodgson went to work and
had it finished by ten. This position
was his last a.nd certainly ranked
MO. in the world of journalism.
He was fond of sport. a great angler
from early years, and wrote much
abuut the subject, He fished on Clatto
Loch in Perthshire, on his brother-in-
1av-'s estate at iBalquhiddar, on Lord
Dunborne's estate on the Avon in
Hampshire, and other places. He gath-
ered many of his articles on the sub-
ject• into two books, "Trout Fishing"
and "Salmon Fishing," by A. and C.
Black, 1905 and 1906, respectively. The
contents and illustrations in color
drew great praise from the reviewers.

when he went to Cupar at Christmas,

similar cross of white marble, has the

to Montreal and gave him the oppor:
tunity to visit his relatives in Mc-
Killop. Peter brought him home in a
buggy, and Mobel recognized him at
a glance, although she was not sup-
posed to know that he was on his
way. The relatives enjoyed' the visit
and hoped that he liked them. His.
uncle, John, was worried about the
return to the ship, but Hodgson was
cool. "They just can't sail without
me," he declared. He went to Duff's
Church with Alexander's family and
sat at the end of the pew„ near the
aisle. 'Maggie was next him, and
when the collection plate arrived, she
saw that he was unprepared for it.
She gave him her copper to save em-
barrassment and caused some amuse-
ment. He was in Montreal in plenty
of time—rtwo days—before die • ship
sailed. Eventually he entered the nav-
al service at Portsmouth and later in
the dockyards at Sheerness at the
mouth of the Thames.
He was living retired in Rye, Sus-
sex, when I visited him Dec. 28 and
29, 1918. Being on a final leave from
France, I treated myself to a first-
class ticket and was the only private
n a compartment full of officers. I
had 'telegraphed that I was corning
and Mrs. Hodgson was at the station
to meet me. Failing to see anyone in
a broad -brimmed hat, which she sup-
posed to be the invariable mark of
Dominion troops, she imagined I had
not come, and went home. I found a
little girl to guide me, to Belvedere
cottage, and had a pleasant visit.
,John Alexander Hodgson was then
63 years old. In September, 1917, he
had suffered a stroke which left ,him
with impairedpower of speech and
se of his legs. He was quite vehem-
ent about strikers, as he had had
rouble with them in the dockyards. I
howed him a watch I had just bought
n London; he weighed it in his hand
nd pronounced it good from the
weight, a verdict justified in the suc-
eeding 30 years. Mrs. Hodgson was
very cordial and motherly old lady;
hey had four daughters, Jessie, Ed-
tb, Gavinia. and Joanna. Edith was
Mrs. Charles Heaton and her husband
•as then in the Mediterranean, a nav-
1 doctor. Since that time they have
een living in Birmingham and have
boy, Harry, and two girls, Peggy
nd Lois. Peggy married Ronald Luke„
n • artillery , officer, who died of
ounds in 1940. Harry is at present
dritor of a paper- in Aldershot and
am'berley; he is married, an.dj as• a
on, Juhn. Jessie had married a Ma -
or Strickland, of the Royal Garrison
rtillery. They live in London and
ave a son. Joanna married an offi-
er named Merivale, who worked in
he admiralty, and have a daughter.
Gavinia, Vieney for short, was livi-
ng at home and remains there. She

He ventured, into the field of fiction
and produced three novels: "Unrest
or the Newer Republic," W. H. Allen
and Company, 1887; "John Clifford,"
Remington and Company, 1889; and
"Haunted By Posterity." These works
di4eussed political and philosophical
questions, and were an experiment of
his youth, abandoned in his last 15
years, He edited a collecttion of poems
for the Earl of ,Rosslyn who was him-
self a poet and wanted someone to
undertake the editing of his verses.
published and unpublished. Hodgson
went beyond the original assignment
and edited several volumes b? Lord
Rosslyn and others, the Rosslyn Ser-
ies of Poets. He was associated in
literary work with Lady Colin Camp-
bell, Lady Florence Dixie, Lady An-
gela St. Clair (Lady Angela Forbes),
and Lady Randolph Spencer Churchill
(Mrs. Cornwallis -West). As this list
of feminine names indicates, Hodg-
son's work led him much into society.
With all his associations in Eng-
land, he remained very much a Scots-
man to the last.. He spent his sum-
mer holidays and •Christmasses in
Cupar, and in the nineties in spite of
his editorial work, he was writing to
his mother every day, Late in life he
married a • Perthshire girl, Violet
Neave, daughter of Thomas' Neave, at

that they had taken Professor

by ottawa observer'
Observers here are watching close-
ly the trend of political thinking in
Ontario since Premier Drew announc-
ed that a provincial election would be
held at the end of three years of his
ye -year term. There is a great deal
of argument as to the reason for this
early election. Progressive 'Conserva-
tives claim that Mr. Drew calls an
election at this time because he feels
confident of his strength. Liberals
believe that his action denotes, weak-
ness. They 'believe that his strength
.has greatly diminished because of in-
ternal friction and point to the fact
that the did not attend the National
Progressive Conservative convention
Last week: There is a great deal of
comment on his unprecedented action
of calling an election on the King's
birthday.
Party Strategy
In Quebec Premier Duplessds did
not announce an election date last
week as had been expected in Ot-
tawa circles. There are many signs
that he has rebuffed Progressive Con-
servative overtures and Will refuse to
co-operate with Mr. Bracken. This
was obviously a great disappointment
to the P.C. convention in Ottawa
where Progressive Conservative
speakers many times linked the
names of Drew and Duplessis.
The Conservative, Liberal and C.C.
F. aarties are all lining up their can-
didates for the provincial election.
Three -cornered fights are expected in
almost every constituency and the So-
cial Credit party will be a fourth in
a few. While 'Premier Drew gives a
'change from 25 to 60 cycle °power in
part of Ontario as the issue of the.
election, Liberal Leader Farquhar R.
Oliver has declared for an end of
Drew's "silly" and senseless feuding
wi+h the 'Canadian 'Government" and
has promised adequate support of hos-
pitals, an increase in workman's com-
pensation and action that will prevent
any need of a provincial income tax
which is expected next year in On-
tario under present provincial poli-
cies.
European Recovery
Interest is high here on the Euro -
Spinoza and • Hegel, Finding them
'slow, he answered the questions him-
self. It is hard to imagine this con-
versation and 'procedure at an Eng-
lish fishing party.
He lived a strenuous life, satisfy-
ing his editorial and social duties at
the expense of rest. He fell ill of
Bright's disease and was invalided
home to Cupar, but he recovered and
resumed work some months later. In
1D09 he was ill again/ and was in
Cupar when his father died; but un-
able to follow the remains to the
cemetery. He talked with friends and
left shortly with his wife and sisters
for Aberfeldy. Here he became ser-
iously ill and passed away Dec. 31,
1909. Many obituary notices appeared
'u the papers. The Times of Jan. 1.
1910, referred to his novels, his liter-
ary work and journalism and declar-
ed that he was most widely known
for his articles and books of fishing;
and his treatment of the topic in a
philosophical way. This judgment, no
doubt, is just; articles, on are
ephermeral and. the fame of their
authors is fleetin, while fishing is a
permanent art with an enduring in-
terest. At any rate, William Earl
Hodgson is the most distinguished
person treated of in these pages.
His remains were brought to Cupar
and interred in the new cemetery.
The service was conducted by two
Fpiscopal clergymen, the Reverends
Harrison, of Aberfeldy, and G. W.
Paterson of Cupar. The Reverend J.
H. Leckie„ of Boston United Free
Church, paid a fine tribute to William
Earl and his father the next Sunday
morning. The son's name was plac-
ed on the same Celtic cross of gran-
ite which bears those of his father
and his mother.
His daughter, Beatrice, married Mr.
Graham Cox, of North Common, Wey-
bridge, and, they have at least two
children.
