History of the Kerr Family
—
From Scotland tor
Huron
(By WILFRED BRENTON KERR)
(Continued from last week)
¶Fhe house was replaced in 1867.
The new building was of cream brick
and still stands. To the north was
the kitchen and to the east of it a
woodshed. At the south end of the
kitchen the house expanded to a two -
room width, The, dining -room,
n.i. ....1.... 4.hn not

northern bed were .shrubs and flowers
and in the •southern at a later date, a
pine tree and a birch. Strips of 'turf'
formed the borders of the stew beds'
as of the Old, and the northern 'beds
was divided 'by a series of walks.
These gardens represented the best
artistic effort of the family and well
•ewarded• those who had, expended
hought and labor on them, The
apace below the beds on t11e west had
leen a potato patch, and now it was
;onverted into a lawn, bordered by
maple, ohesnut and ash trees, enclos-
ed by a hedge and divided by a row
consisting of a cedar, a pine and a
lowering shrub. A gravel walk came
Lown from the goose -egg,• divided the
awn the other way, and ended in an
Lrbor at the hedge, built by Archi-
>1d Campbell. The northern part of
he lawn became a croquet ground for
he family.
On the east side of the house was
fruit garden, containing currant and
•aspberry bushes, a cherry tree, a
)u ternut • tree, beds of rhubarb and
zorse radish, and a vine was added
ater but did lot give grapes fit to
at. Beside the fruit garden stood
he smoke -house for the meat ' and
he ash -barrel where the lye was dis-
illed for soap. The vegetables, ex-
�elIed from the front, of the house,
ound a home in a small field beside
he north lane. A second• well was
lug near the house for the conveni-
nce of'domestic work and of better
Nater. South of the house was an
>rchard with a good variety of -faa
and winter apples, bordered by pop-
ar on the west. An air of comfort
and adornment now surrounded the
Tome and dispelled any need to blush
n making comparisons with Scotland.
In other ways, the standard of liv-
ng was raising. The family used
rom•espun for many a year. The click
>f the 'spinning wheel was a familiar
round and the eldest •girl, Janet, did
®ide, three bedrooms on .the east. The I
Parlor and the south bedroom were i
kept for the use of visitors, particu- 1
larly the ministers who often called 1
at the house. Upstairs were a !hall, z
two bedroom and three attic store- i
Places. Underneath the house lay a 1
cellar. One room contained preserved 1
fruit. one the fresh fruit, one was for 4
the milk, and one had a cistern and• 1
a space for potatoes, and a cellarway i
on the east led to the outside. The 1
house was no model of architecture. 1
for no attention was paid to design as 1
a whole. The brick 'was solid, not
veneer, • and let frost through the
walls of the parlor in winter. The i
upstairs was low acid an oven in sum- 1
sner. Nevertheless, the house was 1
comfortable,' substantial and a great 1
improvement on the log building 1
which it replaced. 1
The next effort was to reproduce 1
the beauties of Scottish gardens, and 1
here Isobel was the prime mover. 1
She engaged Sandy Robinson, who had 1
been a gardener in Scotland, to do 1
the work. Ile colnmenced by laying t
out a plot in the shape of a goose- 1
egg before the middle of the house. '
Around it he left a strip of turf and 1
about this a gravel walk, and in it he
planted flowers and a tulip bed. Next 1
he designed a bed on each side of 1
the egg conforming to it in the mid- 1
dle, otherwise rectangular. In the 1

had money ahead and wanted to re-
duce the principal of the mortgage,
Mrs. Hannah, bereaved of her hus-
•tand, would not be paid off and in-
sisted on the terms as they stood,
raying: "James Kerr is as good as
a bank." He was obliged to let his
money pile up to the amount of $1,500
in 1883. •
He had done well since 1852. He
bad cleared a farm, built a mocern
house and barn, acquired another
farm and raised a family. When he
had first come to lot 25,,,,,one of the
neighbors had eyed it with contempt,
saying that he would not have that
swamp as a gift. Now James was
iroud that he had disproved• the pes-
simistic valuation and had turned the
swamp into fine arable Land. He had
shown as much business ability' as his
father and was better off than if he
had. remained in Scotland. The effort
had been hard, and Isobel said that.
if they had known how hardit would
be. they would never have left Scot-
land. Nevertheless, both felt it was
worth while, and neither had any no-
tion of abandoning McKillop to re-
turn to Dunipace.
James was always a careful farmer
and industrious worker; above all,, he
could not tolerate weeds. When he
acquired lot 24, he sent his boys ov-
er it with spuds to exterminate the
weeds, which they did. At the thresh -
tugs, the men often put the sheaves
in the feeder of the separator with
their bare hands and were well aware
of thistles. James asked one man
whether he had noticed any, and the
man replied that he had felt only one
on that day, which pleased the owner
a great deal. In general, James used
the methods of Scotland, which suf-
ficed• for the time.
When the farm was clear and the
swamp drained. James was in trouble
for water, as the barnyard well could
not .supply the stock. After the Hur-
chase of lot 24. he bought from Has -
tie a short right-of-way to the river
in the rear for the cattle, and solved
the problem. Peter was once leading
the cows to the river in wintertime
in accord with this arrangement; he
had to cross a bridge over a ditch,
but found both hidden by a heavy
snow. Peter went over on the snow'
and called the leading cow to come
over after him. She stood for a min-
ute, walked along the bank, found
ridge herself and le the heal
the ge d
over it, giving evidence of a fair
bovine intelligence.
Jamek was proud of his accomplish-
'tnents and his 200 acres. As early as
1860 he had called his Farm Elmgrove,
from the fine elms of the south fields,
some of which still remain. The name
did not stick, however, and the neigh-
bors talked only of Kerr's farm. There
was a dislike of such names as an
affectation of the ways of the lairds
in Scotland.
The increase in McKillop's popula-
tioh had made it possible to organize
a Presbyterian church there, and
Duff's was erected in 1867. The three
Kerrs were active in promoting it
and became staunch members. For
two years there was no regular min-
ister. The congregation inquired for
one as far as Otisville, N.Y., where
the Reverend F. W. Ferries had won
high repute. But he would not come
.and a clergyman named MclDermid
first served the church. He was suc-
ceeded by Thomas Thompson and he
in 1877 by Peter Musgrave from Mil-
verton. John Kerr was one of the
first Elders of Duff's and long taught
the Bible Class there. James and
Alexander were never Elders, but
Alexander was treasurer for a period.
1 The new church was about two miles
from the Kerr house by the road,
and much more convenient than Ea.
ancndville.
The Kerr home remained open at
all times to passing ministers. One
such, the Reverend James Robertson,
later a missionary in the Northwest,
e'tayed at the farm 1867-68 while sup-
plying at Duff's' and Seaforth, going
to town on Sundays with the Hasties.

kept anxious eyes on the taverns, and
in the seventies began an agitation to
limit the licenses. Thee were short-
ly reduced to two in Winthrop and
Dublin, and thereafter the mushroom
hotels disappeared. The one near the
Kerr farm, suspect of doing busi-
ness without a license, was burned
dow-n in 1894, to the relief of the
family.
James and his family used Win-
throp for their grist and saw busi-
ness and -some of their grocery shop-
ping, The village was a community
centre with its Orange. and Temper-
ance halls and church, and sports and
pastimes. James, however, was not a
joiner; he was a member of no lodge
and continued to go to Duff's, though
Cavan was nearer. He took an inter-
est in the cheese factory organized in
1872. On December .9, 1873, the
patrons or shareholders, met with
James in the chair. He and the other
proprietors or directors, made a sat-
isfactory report and received a vote
of confidence. Later years brought a
rather chequered career to the fac-
tory, which barely managed to sur-
vive. James was still director in
June, 1882, when John C. Morrison
gave him, Finlay Ross and Francis
Morrison a bond for $10.000 in his
capacity as manager. James dabbled
a bit in the public' life of the town-
ship. In 1872 he was councillor beside
Andrew Govenlock, William Bell and
the reeve and deputy reeve, W. J.
Shannon and James Hays. But either
he or the voters considered the year
enough, and he was not again on the
council. He was auditor of the town-
ship books in 1873• at a salary of six
dollars. and in that year and the next
he was fence -viewer. On February- 6,
1874. the council gave him a special
commission to supervise the work of
George Payne on the snowdrifts of
the gravel road, which apparently con-
cludes his service to the township, His
work for the public, vas much inferior
to that of Alexander, who was the
chief force in the council in the sev-
enties reeve many times, representa-
tive of the township in the county
council on several occasions. trustee
for 33 years. and chairman and speak-
er at many meetings. John was non-
political and confined himself to peti-
tions to limit licenses, e.f. in 1874. In
his last years, James was active in
the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance
Company and was president of it in
1882-3. On the whole, he had not
many outside interests.
He had a reputation for strictness
with his children, rarely letting then
go out, and with his wife who served
him often and even opened gates for
him. Yet he let her inspect his ac-
counts and consulted her on his trars-
actions. He kept an active interest
in theology; he had books with him
from Scotland and added to their
number in McKillop. e.g. concordanc-
es. commentaries on the Bible, ser-
mons and lives of Biblical figures.
The first generation of settlers, as in
this instance, had intellectual inter-
ests surpassing those 'of their suc-
cessors, who missed the mental cli-
mate of the old land. James' taste
in furniture was good; his cherry
chairs, bed and dresser are shapely in
design and pleasing in tone, though
the choice may owe a good deal to
Isobel. James' character left little
to be desired; in the wofds of the
obituary, he was upright and honor-
able in all his dealings•, and his word
was as good as his bond. in politics
he was an enthusiastin Liberal, and
took the Globe as his newspaper,
sharing it with John.
Physically, he was a large man--
six
an ..six feet one inch—much in contrast
to the smallish Isobel; like his son,
William, and his grandsons, Howard
and Gordon, in the present genera-
tion. He was not robust -in his later
days and never as strong as John. A
habit of heavy smoking may have
contributed to the weakness of his
constitution. He smoked pipes and
when they were well impregnated
with tobacco. gave them to Dick
Pethick, of Winthrop, who liked his
pipes well seasoned.. He never kept
liquor in his own house for beverage
purposes, but took a drop in company
on occasion, e.g. at the barn„raisings.
On one occasion, be had to jump fast
to escape a falling tree and had an
internal injury from the effort. He
had a double hernia and Wore a metal
band on his waist to relieve it. The
remedy was not much better than the
disease and caused discomfort while
he Was at work. The disability in-
creased an compelled him to curtail
his activities in 1881. He managed, to
go about and gave up the smoking
habit, but he was in poor health for
two years. Toward the end of Febru-
ary, 1883; he took to his tied.

was a small account, recently open-
ed. The farms were worth $12,000 at
a conservative estimate, and we may
set the total at $16.000, less the un-
paid part of the mortgage on lot 24.
The farms were to go to James and
Peter, his sons, and financial ar-
rangements were made for the other
children, but nothing was to be given
off the place until the youngest, Wil-
liam, was of age, except to Alexander
who wanted to set up for himself, The
widow, Peter and Alexander, were to
be executors, and the widow might
retire in five year's if she so wished.
After the will was made, an enlarge-
ment of the heart was apparent, and
on February 27, 1883, James passed
away in his 57th year. A large con-
course o8 mourners. at ' the funeral
testified to the esteem in which be
had been held. The snow was deep
and the road difficult. The proces-
sion, therefore, took its way across
the fields from the lime -kiln at Rob-
ert Govenlock's to Maitlandbank cem-
etery. As James died so early, none
of his grandchildren, except a child
of Jaet, saw him, and to all of them
he remained a shadow in the back -
