INTRODUCTION
While reminiscing at the kitchen able in the home of my sister, Joann Graham, her young son John asked, "Mom,who was my grandfather?" John was born the year hisgrandfarher died. On that day, this book changed from a hobby to an efforr dedicated to John Graham and all the McCormick children to come. 1 have been gathering this information as a labor of love since 1969. It tdok me from Nova Scotia to the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. About five years ago, Mary Devine joined me as a co-author, and the book has since fallen into place. Word of our work spread and a number of relatives were willing to help. There were two questions in our minds when researching: Why did so many Scots emigrate from Scotlar~dto Nor~hAmerica in the 1700's? And how did they arrive in Glengarry? From early times the lrish and the Scots were on the move to escape religious persecution, famine or both. Over the generations, their names and religion changed. from McDonald and Protestant in Scotland, to O'Donald and Catholic in 1reland;frorn Corrnac in Ireland to MacCormaig in Scotland. The name "Cormac" in lreland goes back to the 6th century. According to Seun~asMacManus, Corn:ac was rhe grandson of Conn, King or Hundred Battles, belonged to the Clann Chunn, A.D. 157.~Clan Donald was also known as Clann Chunn and as Clann Chola (~olla)! Here we have the same people known by different names and Clans in different countries. The following is a legend told with immense pride: "For generations the McCormicks were like nonlads, finally settling on the Isle of Mull. This was Macla~nelerrltory - the Maclaine of Lochbuie. A proclarna!ion was issued to rhe McCormick sept, whose number was nor great. If lhey showed allegiance 10 the Maclaine Clan. they could slay and wear tlie tartan. They stayed, wore the tartan, and still do. Fom then on the Maclaincs showed favor co tl~e McCorrn~cksfor the allegiance lo ihe Ch~ef."-t
Scottish hisrory tells of a young MacCorrnick who was a faithful and heroic companion to the wounded Lochbuie Chief in a successful 10- THE McCOR MICKS raid on the MacLean of Duart Clan. A Lochbuie had a plaque placed at the castle gate with rhe words: "Biadh is Deoch do MhacCormaig" (Food and drink to ~acCormick).' Why did so many Scots emigrare in the 1700'sl The answer came to us as genealogy handed down, confirmed in existing historical texts. Under the Clan system, the farnily2was protected. Governing the highlands while this system prevailed was no easy task for the English. Only by breaking up the family would the Crown have a tight hold on the highlands of Scotland. The antagonism between the Crown and the Clans of the highlands had festered since the early IW's, setting Clan against Clan and highland a ainst 10wland.~The pride the Chief of a Clan instilled in his men was fierce;6T they were always ready to lay down their lives for him. Thus, when Bonnie Prince Charlie called "to arms" in 1745, he had a smattering of Clans from the highlands and the lowlands behind him.5 He was beaten badly at the battle of Culloden, better known as the "Battle of '45". The highlanders' pride was broken and defeat came hard. They had fought a bitter and courageous battle with few replacements for fallen men. The time was right to put into effect the Disarming Act of 1746. Yet despite the efforts of the English, the Clan system remained unbroken even though the great exodus of the 1700's spread clansmen all over the world. After the battle of '45, the clearing of the highlands began in earnest. The lairds razed dweflings and drove the impoverished tenants from farms to make more room for sheep, a more profitable commodity! Battle weary clansmen gathered their families once more and moved to the Isles of Eigg and Skye? It is from the Isle of Eigg that we are beginning this genealogy. How did the immigrants arrive in Glengarry? A passenger list of the "British Queen" provided the answer.%It was from Cleadale Estate in the Isle of Eigg that 23 adults and their families found their way to Arisaig, Scotland to Board the "British Queen", leavjng port on August 16. 1790 and arriving two months later in Quebec. Two of the passengers were name Donald McCorrnick, each having dependants. When the passengers landed in 1790, they were so poor they faced the possibility of starvation that first winter. They wintered near Montreal. ~~les' Macdonell had put in two petitions for provisions for them to Lord Dorchester. In the second petition he asked for Five or six batcaux and provisions for five to six weeks so they might come to the Lunenburg District. "After the immigrants had landed in Quebec, and once on shore, they kissed [he ground and then out of their baggage would come the highland kilt and bagpipes. This tightly kept secret could once again become a source of great clannish pride. The kilt would be donned and the pibroch sounded." I I-- THE McCOR MICKS
Others arrived in Nova Scotia where a Scottish settlement was already established. "In 1797, Donald McCormick from the Isle of Ei~g arrived in Nova Scotia. He had three sons, John, Robert and Roderick."' Living in those days was a test of endurance that cannot be imagined by today's standards.' The Glengarry pioneers may have been a very poor lot but they were not wanting in their fierce pride and dignity of character that set the Scotch highlander apart in any walk of life he chose. It is with this pride in our heritage that we undertake this account of our ancestors, the McCorrnicks of Glengarry. Special thanks arc due to Mark Sabourin for editing, to Andrea Whyte McCormick for her calligraphy. To Tena MacSweyn for her tremendous work on Book J, to the family of the late John J. McCormick, withour his help Book I1 would not be finished. A large amount of the information was obtained from the Glengarry Genealogical Society, Lancaster, On~ario,Alex Fraser, U.E.genealogist, on the early McCormicks. We will refer to it as G.G.S. With the confusing repetition of names so common among our ancestors, it is possible that we have placed a name in the wrong generation. Of course, we assume full responsibility for all errors and omissions and encourage Readers, to bring them to our anention.

"It is with profound regret thar we this week chronicled the death of Mary A. McCormick, beloved wife of Christopher MacDonald, which occurred at the residence of her brothers, Messrs. Duncan (Dan) and John McCormick, Main Streec 17- THE McCORMICKS (Jener and John McCormick - 11/5th Ken yon)
South, Alexandria, Ont. on January 5th., 1915. The deceased who was 55 years of age, leaves besides her husband. three brothers, Messrs. Duncan, John and Angus of Alexandria a welt known musical group." Mary Ann was a member of this musical family. She played the organ for her brorhers at some of the functions at which they were requested to play. A visit wirh Mrs. Agnes MacDonaldl brought out an interesting story on the McCormick Bros. "Yes, there were two McCorrnick brothers who played the violin. They used lo come lo visit us. Always sitting in the same posirion, on the edge of the same chair, with their backs rigid and the violins neally on rheir laps. They were extremely shy boys. Now, mind you, they could not read music, so this was the reasons for the visits.
IT a new Scotch tune came our in sheet music, [hey would have me play over and over until they understood it, and then played it ~hemselves. On this one occasion there was a particular piece of music [hat had come out in a new modernized version for piano, by the name of 'The Bonnie Lass of Bonacord', in the Scots Skinner's book. I played it over and over for them and even sang it too. They were very quick 10 get it, but when it came to the minor notes they were lost. They eventually got it. They were shy boys, but such gentlemen." --- "...My uncle, Dr. J. T. Hope, was one of their fans, and once when they were elderly men (approx. 1930), he took me to see them for a few minutes, to hear them play. In fact we only saw one dear old soul and he was almost coo feeble to play at all. Jim always admired the way they played 'The Lass O'Gowrie'. "3 --- "John and Dan McCormick built and lived in the house on Main Street, S., Alexandria, across from Costello's home. One was a fiddler, but the other was a violinist."J 18- THE McCORMICKS (Jener and Juhn McCorm~ck- 11/5!h Ken yon)
"Angus McCormick lived on Main Street next to Donald John (Saddler) Macdonell, on the other side of Alex Willie MacMillan's Undertaking parlour (now Dubeau Upholstery). Angus played the violin, also worked with this brothers, repairing and building homes." ' - - - "The house of John and Dan's on Main Street S., was later bought by Henry Duggan Sr. Henry (nephew) and his wife Isabel Routhier lived there. Mr. Duggan renovated it, by having brick siding and a verandah put on the house. Mr. T. G. Barbara then bought it and now Remi Prudhornme of Prudhomme Ins. The Bros. moved to Bishop Street, where they built two more homes. Dan and John lived in one of the rwo houhc\;. One was later bought by Harry Keyes." --- "About (1934) she2didn't remember the year, John was living next to us. She remembered him well. Every morning he would come out in the front yard to cut the grass with a scythe. One morning he did not come out, so mother and Mrs. Currier went in to see. Mr. McCormick was dead and had been for some time. She called the priest. Poor Mr. McCorrnick, he was a good man." --- Obituary 3 "The deceased was the son of Angus McCormick and Margaret Cameron 17/3rd. Lochiel. John McCormick died at his home on Bishop Street, Alexandria. In 1880 the family moved to Alexandria and John McCormick took up carpentry as his trade and together with his brother Angus, now the only surviving member of the family, and possessing more than an ordinary musical, ability, specialized as violinists and for years their services were much in demand at entertainments, dmtnces, etc. The late Mr. McCormick had a wide circle of friends who admired his many excellenr qualitites." "Carpentry was their livelihood, but their first love was music." 4 --- "Raffle and Dance There will be a raffle and dance at MacKay'sSHall, Alexandria, a fine horse and sewing machine, on Tuesday, September 10th.

"Escapes train miraculously 1 It's not too often someone who gets run over by a train, lives to tetl the tale, but 20 year old Ranald McGillis of Alexandria is one of them. The Western University student had the first three cars of a C.N. freight train pass over him at about 390 Saturday morning as he lay between the tracks of the ~Montreal-Ottawaline, near the Carnation siding. He was taken to Glengarry Memorial I-Iospital in a state of shock, but suffered no physical injuries. Hestili remembers almost nothing of the entire night. The train, which had just pulled our of the siding, stopped almost immediately when the engineer saw Mr. McGillis. After calling police, they went to help him, but he had already got out from under the train. According to Lancaster OPP,Mr. McGillis had been walking along [he track from McConnick Road. He had been jnvolved in an accident about 1.5 kilometres east of Alexandria along the road earlier. The car owned by hjs ----father, Gerald McGiIIis of St. Paul Street was totalled."

It was considcrcd almost treason to speak English in the home. The Gaelic language had been forbidden in S.S No. 5 Kenyon School, which resulted in Alex and Donald becoming bilingual. Donald speaks of winter burial of "Long Robert" McCormick and of the Keriyon floods.
"Old Robbic was very tall. He died in the winter. There was no place for the body ovcr the winter, so he had to be buried in theceme~erybut theground was frozen. Well sir: they gor Joe McDonell to start digging. Joe always did those jobs, he was a good neighbour. After digging most of the day. he 30-- THE McCORMfCKS (Jene~and John McCorm~ck- 11/51h Kenyon)
only got down about 4 inches. Another neighbour said that he'd give it a try. He too only got down another 4 inches. Now the funeral was to be the next day, so they got Kenny Robinson to dynamite the grave. Father MacMillan came along and said, "It's a good thing you fellows don't have to bury--- him standing up!" Long Robert was over 6'4. --- Ken yon Floods
Some may remember the swamp areas in Kenyon.
"In the spring the water rose. It started down in the 3rd. (con. Kenyon) and got deeper as it came north. The dsepest was from the "little fifth" to the Old hdge road. There's a natural ridge in the land that goes west from Highway 34 to the Indian lands. When they put in the 6th of Kenyon road, it had to be raised 15 ft. to get above the floods. There was a post that we used to keep an eye on to measure the height of the water. It was removed when the road was put in. Och yes: my father built a raft for Lizzy (John the Sawyer) MacDonald. She was the teacher in S.S No. 5. She would cut through the 4th (con. of Kenyon) on her way to school. Without this raft, she would have missed many days. She was paid well too, $100 a year." The theory by some is that the swamps are fed by the underground river that feeds Loch Garry from the St. Lawrence River. Still others say the Loch Garry is fed by springs.
"Behind the barn in the field, were three bogs in which a number of animals were lost in the early days. Many rimes my sister and I would chase the cows in the back field. We thought it great fun to direct them in such a way that they would follow the grassy knolls between the bogs, and we'd watch the knolls bounce. No one was ever hurt or no animal lost that I remember." I ----- (j) Margaret McCormick and John Allan McDonald Children: (i) Anna May McDonald rn. Edward Hubenerl lii) John Allan McDonald b.

One July or August Sarurday afternoon, he came home early. He didn't 'look good' ar all ro us. Immediate bed rest was the prescription given until the doctor finished the tests. Father 'Ewen' MacDonald dropped in, as was customary, just to say hello. We diagnosed Donald's illness as typhoid Fever. Dr. Dolan and Dr. Thompson had also received the same results and immediately tested the well on the McLennan property. In those days, raw sewage found it's way to the Garry River and contaminated some wells. His recovery was assured by the marvelous care his mother gave him. The most vivid memory 1 have of his illness was the large amount of bananas he consumed each day. Evidently it helped, as he recuperated completely. Donald had a number of jobs.

Paddy was the 7th son of the 7th son and therefore was reported to have healing powers. One day, a niece of Paddy's after weeks of suffering with an ugly carbuncle on the back of her neck; was told that her uncle was coming to see her. When Paddy arrived, all were whisked out to the kitchen, save the suffering niece. When Paddy emerged a couple of minutes later, he announced that the carbuncle would break before the next day.

There was also a sister, Nancy McCormick. 1 "Nancy McCormick was married to Donald MacDonell who was the first MacDonell on the Eigg Road (3rd. concession road). He was the ancestor of John Lawrence Danny John and us." "Nancy McCormaic, nighean Donald, ic Robert "'died August 27th., 1859, at the age of 96 yrs. and widow of Donald ,McDonald (MacDonell) of Eigg, Glengarry. "Donald MacDonell was first settler in Lochiel Parish - arriving before 1787, Donald MacDonell had 2 sons. (1) Donald and (2) Duncan 2 (1) Donald MacDonell was a bachelor. He gave an acre of land for a cemetery. First recorded burial was that of Catherine MacDonald widow of Robcrt MacCormaic - 90 yrs. of age, died September 22, 1851, St. Alexander's Parish, (2) Duncan MacDonell had 2 sons. Duncan's grandson, Dunc MacDonell went to the Dakotas when young and was always known as 'Dakota Dunc." ---- Robert brought from the bursar of University of Colleges of Toronto the North half of lot 19 in the 4th of Lochiel fo~eight hundred dollars, in 1859. Robert's son John was granted 200 acres on lot 17/3rd. of Lochiel in 1804, registered in 1848. Donald McCormEck's son Robert, b. 2760 in Scotland married twice 1st wife Oirig (Harriet) Stewart (Stuart) 2nd wj fe Catherine MacDonald (1761-185 1) There is a legend handed down about this Robert and his first wife Oirig. 65- THE McCORMICKS It seems Oirig was of royal blood so the story goes. Her family did not approve of the match. When Robert decided to try his luck in the New World, Oirjg was forbidden to sail with him. Whether it was a plan or not, just as Robert's vessel was about to set sail, Oirig placed their infant daughter in Robert's arms. By doing this Oirig figured her family would soon consent to her joining her husband in the New World. This story was told many times to me (Mary Devine) and the family by Grandfather. He would be laughing when he was telling it. I guess he thought it was a pretfy slick trick on the part of his grandparents. The funny part is we laughed also because we thought it was just another oie of Granpa's stories but read on maybe the last Laugh was on us. ROBERT McCORMICK 23/3rd Lochiel This legend so often told by Rory, a grandson of Robert, could very well be true. In 1787 Nancy McCormick. daughter of Donald and sister of Robert, was already settled in Glengarry Co. Ontario with her husband Donald MacDonell. Nancy was born in Scotland in 1763. This is substantiated through Father John McDonald's diary. We know of Donald and Nancy having at least three sons Donald, Duncan and Alexander, who was born in 1807, and baptized in St. Andrews. This family was the first MacDonells to settle on the Eigg road in Glengarry. In 1790 Donald McCormick, Nancy's father, came to Canada on the British Queen, landing at Quebec in October after a two month voyage. According to the passenger manifest, Donald had two dependantq. One was over 12 yrs of age (the age of adulthood) which was Robert. Robert was married to Oirig Stuart and had three children born in Scotland, .fohn age 6, Mary C. age 3 and Catherine age 2. Oirig did not come to Canada at this time. According to the legend her famiIy did not want her to leave Scotland. Just as the British Queen was to sail from Arisaig, Oirig placed her infant daughter in the arms of her husband reasoning that her family would not keep her away from the child for long. Robert already had his son John with him and now he also had the baby to care for. He was also leaving two brothers, John and Roderick in Scotland. Dividing a family in such away offered protection for the clan. If Donald and this part of the family did not survive, thcrc were two brothers back in Scotland to carry on the name. Donald paid L3. 6s. Id. for passage for himself, his son Robert and grandson John. There was a cousin, Donald, and his son Rory on this voyage. Seven years later in 1797, we find Donald McCotmick and his three sons Robert, John and Roderick arriving in Nova Scotia accorhng to papers found in an old Bible of Hector ~c~ormick's.No mention is made of women or wives but we hzve record of a son John being born to Robert and Oirig in 1801. Oirig must have died at the time of John's birth or shortly thereafter. We have no record of her death. It could have happened before they reached Glengarry. Robert must have been in dire need of a mother for his young son because in 1802 he was married to a Catherine McDonald. In the same year, 1802, Catherine and Robert had a daughter, they named her Oirig (after his first wife). It would appear that Donald and Robert after acquainting themselves with the country with the help of Nancy and her husband, returned to Scotland to bring the rest of the family to Canada. ~onald,Robert and Catherine and John could have come to Glengarry with Fr. Alexander Macdonell when he stopped in Nova Scotia, on his way from Scotland, to pick up anyone who wished to settle in Glengarry. This was in 1802. Roderick stayed in Nova Scotia. Another son Hector was born to Roberr and Catherine in 1803 accord~ngto the St. Raphaels' records. A claim to John McCormick, eldest son of Robert, of Donald for 200 acres of land - 17/3rd.

The script told of a memorable date in Mr. McCnrmick's l~fe - March 1, 1900. Our ccnterlarian was farming just north of Alevandria in those days. One of the worst snowstorms of the winter blocked all roads when, early that morning, he and his neigh hours heard the clamor of church bells and factory whistles in rown. Thinklng the town afire, he set out to help and battled the drifts all the way. Reaching town more dead than alive, he found our citizens celebrating the Relief of Ladysmith in the Boer War. As the scripter put it, "there was no fire, but I'll bet there was plcnty of fjrewater."

I, as one of the officers of his company, would like to tell you that your son was one of the best soldiers in the company and always a very cheery disposition and I can't tell you how much 11c is missed by his conirades in arms. Your son was killed on November 24., 1917, by a trench mortar shell, but 1 am sure you will be pleased to know, he did not suffer as he was killed instantly. He was burid in Saskatoon Cemetery, a place south of LENS, and I understand any of his personal kit will be forwarded to you. Again, please accept on behalf of 111e officers, non-commissioned officers and rrrcri of the company, our sincere sympathy for you and your fan~ilyin this your hour of sorrow. Yours sincerely. (sgd.)

He had many stories to tell and lois of rime to tell them, as he was blind for the last Ihirly-rwo years of his life. He lived through many changes. Many is the tiole 90- THE McCORMICKS (Ihe Carnily or Robcn McCormick and (I) Siuan) he spoke of old Sir John A. (MacDonald) our first Prime Minister and [he shooting of D'Arcy MacGee. Grarnpa was a bugler boy at the time of the Fenian Raids and he claimed he crossed the river with the "Red Coats". He worked on the building of the C.P.R. as far west as British Columbia. Grampa was seldom without his constant companion, his pipe. He always had a good handful of wooden matches in his vest pocket. One weekend while I was at home, mother thought it was a good time for her to do some shopping. Grampa went upstairs for his afternoon nap and I, seeing an opportunity, decided to wash the kitchen floor. But Grampa decided he wasn't tjred and came downstairs to keep me company. The floor was only half done so I put him on a chair on the back verandah so we could talk while T worked. Shortly thereafter, I smelled something burning and on glancing at Crampa saw a small curl of smoke coming from his vest pocket. Without a word I grabbed a dipper of water and poured it in Crampa's vest pocket. Shocked, he stood up and cursed me with all the words he had learned over his ninety years. Apparently he had put h.is hot pipe on top of the wooden matches in his vest pocket and ignited [hem. Did poor mother ever get an earful when she arrived home. ------Grampa must have had r.he best false teeth ever made. They were only out of his mouth lor cleaning. He could eat corn on the cob and fresh herring with no problem. Often after a tiring day when he fell inlo a deep sleep, he'd snore his teeth right out of his mouth and then the search would begin. If they were not to be found in bed, he would look under it. Getting down on h.is knees beside the bed and using the hook of his cane as a catch-all, he would pull it ovec the hardwood floor in the hope of finding his teeth. This could happen at any hour of the night. Needless to say it wasn't long before he had lots of help. Who could sleep with that racket goingon? ----- 5.

It was a dress shop whose name became identified with the prestigous women of Wesrmount. Gertit tells of two distinguished retired spinsters who were undecided on a particular dress. One said to the other "Do you like this dress." The other answered "But Mary, it won't go with the chairs." Some of the credit for this well established clientele was the superb workmanship of a young Italian widow, Julia Angelini who had two children ro support. Looking for work after her husband died was not easy in a new country and not able to speak the language. Sally hired this seamsrress. Afler 25 years. Sally died suddenly leaving the shop to Cerrie, her sister and partner. Mrs. Anpelin] had learned the trade well from seamstress lo management. Her appearance had changed to a beautiful confident lady.

She'd say every morning when she came in, ''I'm ingood shape this morning, anyone want to fight?" The second teacher was Miss Carrol, a niece of Farher Foley's from Finch. She was grand. She lived with us, and had so many of those floppy hats, they were just beautiful. I think I rried on every one of them. She married the end of that year and I never saw her again.

They uscd to have samples of literature and material that today we call junk mail, come through the mails. Mary An11 would take the samples and pass them around to the girls who came to visit. We would play with them. There would be Cassie Cameron,' Marybelle (J.J.) and myself. We would have a grand old time making things wirh these samples of wall paper or ribbon cloth. The time passed quickly, first thing 1 knew, it would 102--THE McCORMm(Robes McCormick and (2) Catherine MacOonald - 23/3rd Lochiel) be dark. I had about 1 mile to walk through "Logie's Bush''. One of the neighbour boys liked to frighten the girls by biding along the way. I wasn't afraid, so I told myself, as I knew f could oubun him.

December 7, 1844 "Grandfather, (John R. ~c~ormick)~asa young lad joined the military. Whether through conscription or voluntary is no1 known. 3 He was taken to Prescott to fight a skirmish against some invaders (1838). It was called the Battle of the Windmill. In the later years, grandfather used to love to tell about being in the "Battle" and what a picnic they had. It seems that some dissenters moved to the United Slates. They organized an army to invade Canada. They thought us poor Canadians were under the yoke of tyranny pnd should be free. When grandfather and his group of Highlanders arrived at the "The Mill", they had to wait for instructions from a delayed regiment. This was the reason for rh "picnic" as he called it. Grandad's name was John R. McCormick, on my4father's side. 1 don't remember what the "R" stood for, probably Ranald or Roderick. John was always considered a country gentleman. He did nice things for mother. Mother was not a Canadian, neither am I for thal matter. Mother was an American and grandad tried to make her life a little easier. After a busy day in town selling butter and eggs, she'd come home (21/2nd. Lochiel) tired. John would be waiting for her with a step stool he made purposely for her. He'd place it under the pedal of the buggy so mother in her long skirts would not get snagged and fall. which happened to some women. Johr1 would take her parcels into the house. I guess he liked mothcr. She had that air about her, being 5'10" and good looking. t can say that now. ----- "After john R's second wife died, he wa; still well enough for his age and loved to talk with people. Where would be a ber ter place than after church on Sunday? But it wasn't at church. John would walk down with his cane ro the end of tht lane and sit there on a huge stone that seemed to be carved just for him. He would wait in the shade of a beautiful maple tree for the neighbours to come from church. Here hews given all the latesi news. This could have been [he forerunner of the radio, I suppose. Dad told me stories many times of how his father and grandfather and family 189--THE McCORMIcjY" (Roderick McCorrnick and Chr~stenahl. hlacKinnon -24/3rd.

(McCormick) and his ~ccondwife (Maggie MacCillis) who died shortly after From cancer. John R. gave1the farm across the road to Dad and Mother (21/2nd J.ochiel). It was just diagonal from 24/3rd Lochiel. The school I went to was at 20/3rd Lochiel on John Hector's farm (McCormick), Book IT. I would be eight or nine and all the farms had house parties at that time, especially in the wintertime. In the evening John R, would be tucked into bed upstairs over the kitchen, the warmest room upstairs, the neighbows would arrive and in no time the music would start. He would sneak down the back stairs in his red drawers and night cap and look for a "wee deoch". He'd sit down and enjoy the music and drink. 11 would not be long before he was sound asleep. There were no nursing homes in those days. We all took care of our own."2 ----- No. 9. John R. McCormick Jr. b. 1823, d. March 3, 1902, m.

Most young fellows in those days worked in the South Woods,lalong the Ottawa River or on the railroad. Dad joined the railroad and worked on it until he reached Michigan. There, he worked in the lumber camps of Michigan and Wisconsin. Now here, he was known as "Black Hawk". We was over 6'4" and had a good physique. The United States did not have any law force to resemble the Mounties of Canada so anyone who could rule a bunch of men became boss. Black Hawk became boss of a couple of hundred men. He was law! He had a small revolver that he used." Here is a story often told and retold of father in the camps. "Men would apply for work in the camps long enough to be on the payroll, so they could rob the money sacks. This one time the robber held up Rory's office. Rory had his gun hidden and his dog was behind the stove. With the gun of the robber pointed right at Rory's head, his faithful bulldog leapt and sunk his teeth into the calf of the scoundrel's leg. Even with this, Rory knew better than to try to shoot, as rhiq scene had happened before. He let the thief get away without the money only to catch up with him and a partner who was waiting up river. lt is said that Rory used this gun on more than one occasion. " Rory was an honest man and believed in giving the younger ones who were travelling alone a break. One chap who must have had debts to pay or got lonesome for home pawned his ring. He asked Rory if he'd give him enough money for his needs. Thinking 200- THE M~CORMiC~5(~oderic.kMcCormick a11k1 Chrif~c~~aM. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochiel) he would rerurn to redeem the ring. Rory gave him the money he needed and rook the ring as collateral. The chap never returned. It's a beauriful man's gold ring with a half inch flar gold dust stone in it with the inscription in side "H.A.M." "With Stuart McCormick's permission this ring was given to a great grandson or Rory's, also Rory McCormick." ------In Arbor-Vitae, Wisc., a small town mar the camps where Rory McCormick worked, a number of boarding houses sprung up fo~the men. One of these was owned by Simon Gorrnan and his wife Mame Gcelan. It was at Corman's Boarding House that Rory McCormick stayed. Here also Mame's sister Annie helped out when not teaching. In time, Annie, a widow of two years, met Rory and they were married in 1891 in Menomonee, Wisc. by Father Richard. Their first child, Florence McCormick was born in Schofield, Wisc. When she was about three years old, Rory and Annie were called back to Lochiel in Canada to take care of his Father and sick step-mother. ---..-- --- Memories of Florence McCorrnick cont'd. "After Dunc and 1 were married, we moved to Chicago Ill., as there were many jobs there. The First National Bank, the Chicago Exposition - 1933, were a few of the places where Glengarrians were hired to help build. We came back to Canada only for visits over a period of ten years. "During that time, Dunc went searching for information on Dad, "Black Hawk" He went or Menomonee. Wisc., the town where Mother and Dad were married. Here Dunc was directed to an old blacksmith, who apparently was considered the genealogist of the area. This was in the 1920's and father hadn't been around that area for [he lasl 20 years or so. The blacksn~ithtold Dunc that inded he did remember Black Hawk well. "He was a gianr of a man in personality as well as size. He had dark hair and beard and piercing hawk-like eyes that never missed any thing". " ------"On December 29, 1929, Thelma, Ollie and Charlie and I arrived home (Alexandria, Ont.) from Chicago. Ill. Dunc (Gclineau) stayed on for another year or so. Corning by train was a long trip for children. 1 gave Charlie my trunk keys with which to play. He being only one year, what could happen to them. He did lose them, never to be found. The porter turned that section upside down and still no keys were found. The trunks for which the keys fir were sent ahead and reached rhe Cusioms before we did. Maybe the officers thought we were carrying the contraband because they took it upon themselves to smash open the trunks with a ZOI--THE M~CORMlC~s(RoderickMcCDrmick and Chrisrena M. MacKinnon sledgehammer, only to find the entire worldly possessions of a family going home because of the depression." Memories from Florence McCormick Gelineau "I was always a bit of a renegade. I loathed house work. When other girls were learning to do fine stitching, I was out climbing fences, or horse-back riding. More than once the wrath of mother came on me for not being more lady-like. In 1903, mother took us back to Wisconsin to see her family. I had a chance to ride on one of the first motorcycles in that area. It was a neighbour boy, whom we knew well. Of course, I wasn't going to miss that. Oh! the shame of it all! My mother and the rest of her family were ------horrified and stated to my mother that I was not normal."

Stories of Frank McCormick. Uncle Frank was a machinjst, a linguist, a genealogist, a stone mason and an athelete. He loved each one equally. Frank McCormick did all his own,lathe work (steel and wood) for the machines of his woolen mill. If anyone in Alexandria wanted anything specialized in wood or steel they usually sought out F. McCormick. 211-- THE McCORMICKS(Roderick McCormick and Cl~ristenaM. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochiel) Here is a story that was told to me by Jim Keyes. "One of the boilers stopped running in the building in which 3. Keyes worked. The boss called a number of men in to fix it, but to no avail. He then asked Jim to find someone. "You've got to help me out", he said. Jim phoned Frank McCormick and explained the problem. The next day, Mr. McCormick sauntered into the office of the supervisor carrying a 6 qt. basket with some tools in it. About a half an hour larer he left the building with the boiler jn good running order. The supervisor said to Jim, "Tell your Mr. McCorrnick to give in his bill", and related ro Jim that he would give Frank a couple of dollars. Jim knew that Frank would charge more than Chat. After about the third request, Frank brought in his bill. Ir was for $30.00. The supervisor was furious and yelled, "Who does he think he is, charging $30.00 for so little time", and asked Frank McCoxmick to step inside. "How come you charged so much?", he asked Frank. Frank said in that sideways smile, "I didn't charge you for what I did, I charged you for what 1 know!", and left with the $30.00." Frank McCormick cont'd. Having gone to Ste. Therese College, Rigaud, Que., taught by French speaking Brothers, Frank McCormick spoke the language fiucntly. He also spoke Gaelic and did a lot of translation from and to the Gaelic. He enjoyed speaking [Re language. In his later years, the number of people with whom he could converse in Gaelic had dwindled to very few. Uncle Frank was a genealogist of the McCormick "Clan" and a number of other seprs too. One had to "get him on a good day", and he would answer all. He had a practice of keeping everything in his head. Not one item was written down. This seemed to be the custom of the early settlers. ----- Letter from Edna MacMillan, Lochiel "...some of his (Frank McCormick) workmanship will stand a$ memorials to him. The MacLeod Cairn, west of Dalkeith, Ont. The Memorial Gates at Kirkhill, the stone fireplace ar Keith and Velnia Franklin's, Maxville. It reminds me of that Scripture Verse in Revelation, Chapter 14, v.13 "...they do rest from their labours, but their works follow them"." Dear Mrs. McDonald, "...As you know we had the pleasure of his company here for three weeks while he built our fireplace and we missed hi111like one of the 212--THE McCORMICKS (Roderick McCormick and Christens M. MacKinnon -2J/Jrd. Lochiel) family when he left, lr was in the midst of haying and everyone hectically busy. but we found ourselves silting at he table talking simply for the pleasure of his company. We had never met anyone as entertaining or as well informed on an extraordinary number of subjects--and very modest about all this. I. had met him some years before when looking for someone to card fleece for spinning. It was in June 1967 that Mr. McCormick built our fireplace. All our children were at home, Kerry the oldest abour fifteen, Garth was IWO and a half, and Vivian just two weeks old. The children adored him, he was like the pied piper. He would th~ow his mallet over his shoulder and hike back along t.he lane to pick out his material from an old fence, every child following him, the dogs, and even the cat. He ser his rough cutting block up under a tree near the house (I have a colour slide of him out here). Garth was delighted to be helping "Cormy". To keep him happy and out of the way, he set him up with a small sand pile and some bricks'and showed him how ro break them in two over a sharp line--even brought a small chisel just his size. He apparently loved wild raspberry pie. As I mentioned, 1 wasvery busy with the baby and all, and as Keith and the kids wee picking lots of berries, raspberry pie was about the easiest dessert to put on the table. Mr. McCormick was on his fourth slice when Eileen (about 12) who was sitting beside him said, "My goodness Mr. McCormick, but you do like raspberry pie!" And everybody, including him, burst out laughing. Hc was very witty. He told me once his mother was Irish (with the same hesitancy that my grandfather's friend Pat Delaney used to admit that his mother was Scotch). With all the remodelling everything in the house was in the wrong place--our small news radio sa! on the floor near the single available outlet in what was to be the living room. I walked in one lime to find Mr. McCorrnick down on his knees with his ear at the radio lisrcning to the news, (he was a bit deaf, eh). He straightened up iatcr--a little stiffly--and said, "That's whal gives us fellows (Roman Catholics) the rheumatism--kneeling in them damp churches." Another t ime he didn't appear for several days, he explained when he finally arrived that another McCorrnick had died--'Qne of those six day wakes". 213--THE McCORMZCKS (Roderick McCormicC: and Chriaena M. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochiel) When the fireplace was linished, I wanted him to scratch his initial on it somewhere (it being a work of art like his brother's paintings) but he refused. "Masons don't do that kind of thing." Stonework was what he took greatest pride in. Once he was muttering to himself about some detail that wasn't just to his liking and I said, "Oh that doesn't matter--nobody will notice it!" "Well," he said, "most people wouldn't--but if I leave it like that, the next person who comes in and sits down where you are will be another mason and he will wonder what incompetent did this work. "A friend who knows the family well once said to me, "You know that McCormicks are like Indians. They work at what they like, when they like, and just as long as they like." This implies a total independence, unaffected by money, time or public opinion--and very few people today have the courage to live their livcs like that. Again, I heard him grumbling to himself when he was laying the few bricks that go in the bottom of the firebox. "Don't like working with brick?" "Nah--all the same, monotonous". "You don't like building brick fireplaces then?" He looked straight at me and said, "I don't build brick fireplaces". I gathered that not for ten thousand dollars would anybody get a brick fireplace from him. Incidentally, after the fireplace was finished--it works beautifully--and we put the heavy oak mantle on it and finished the panelling to the ceiling-l went to the jeweller and got a small plain plaque, sort of thing that goes on a sports trophy, brass and engraved with "McCormick 1967". This was put unobtrusively on one side of [he mantle. He was up here once again a couple of years later and I think he was rather pleased to see this. When he finally wen1 into the hospital, I stopped in to see him several times. as a relative of mine was in too. At first he was cheerful and hopeful--he hadn't been told that his was usually a very long, painful and terminal illness. Then one day when I went in he said. "You know I'm not getting betler - my doctor is so enthusias.tic, keeps talking aboutpy progress--he may be a fool, but I am not." Sl~ortlyafter this he died. He had a very strong faith and I think he just decided that it was preferable to leave with dignity than linger hopelessly on. I would hope that I can do as well when my times comes." --- (sgd.) Velma Franklin. 216-- THE McCORM~CKS(Roderick McCormick and Christens M. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochtel) Uncle Frank's athletic endeavors were first in soccer, which he liked and played well. He played a nurnber of other sports, but his first love was lacrosse. Here he excelled, pulling Alexandria out of a slump many times with that crucial goal when needed. As Angus H.McDonelI says in "Sports in the Glen", Glengarry News, when talking lacrosse, everyone recalls the day Frank led Alexandria to a 3-1 win over England's touring Lacrosse team, the Oxford-Cambridge team. In later years he had four sons playing lacrosse together on the Alexandria team at the Glenearrv Gardens. One corner of [he woolen mill showing spindles 215--THE McCORMICKS (Roderick McCormick and Christens M. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochiel) Stories of Emmett McCormick Uncle Emmett was handsome, full of fun and as tall as his brothers. He was a good farmer and an expert with horses. Once he bought a purebred Clydesdale, "Golden Pearl Craigy" for stud purposes. He was so close to his horses that many times he would go out to the well and whinney at them down in the front field, to have them whinney back and come on the run to Ihc well. This has happened, I'm sure, to other farmers but it impressed me. He drove a ream well. I will always remember my first ride wirh him. We were coming from Chicago, [I\., where we had lived Tor a number of years. Uncle Emmett rner us at the train station in Alexandria, Ont. II was December 1929, cold with lots of snow on the ground. In the deep red barlow pullcd by a team of "chestnuts", he placed Ollieand me down in front on the floor with a "Buffalo Robe" over us. It seemed extremely cold, or maybe I was not dressed properly Tor these Canadian winters. We pulled the long fur off our faces just enough to see mother sitting, holding brother Charlie wrapped so you could hardly see him, and Uncle Emmett standing, leaning back a bit holding tightly onto the reins of the spirited team. We'd look around but all we could see was a tail of a horse, the tops of bare trees and every once in a while a mouthful of snow that the horses kicked up into the barlow wit11 their hoves. It was a most memorable ride! ------4. Stuart McCormick Uncle Stuart always loved the arts. Going to Cleveland, Ohio at the age of 20 years, he studjed stage acting and direction under Dr. Tirnenov, director of the Literary Theatre In Cleveland at the time. Before the Russian Revolution, Dr. Tirnenov was head choreographer for the Bolshoi Baller under the Czar. Realizing the revolution was near. Dr. Timenov and those who had anything to do with the Czar knew their lives were in jeopardy. The took what belongings and money they had and left for Switzerland. Here Dr. Timenov, while waiting for his visa to the United States, had his name changed by dropping the "ov". tn the United States. he directed stage and acting for a number of years but with the coming oT the motion picture, the stage died lor a number of ycars. Dr. Timen went bankrupt. Uncle Stuart left him and studied under a Mr. Sam Bradley of Hollywood. He had studied only 6 months under Dr. Tililen but states in thai short period he learned more than he could ever learn about acting and direction under Mr. Bradley. He later came home to Car~ada,3S/2nd Lochjel. 216--THE McCORMICKS(RoderickMcCormick and Christens M. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochiel) Taking up painting with no fnmial training, only his God given talent, lent to his landscapes the trueness of calour. This became evident when the city of Cornwall, Ont., under Mayor A. Lavignc, commissioned Uncle Stuarr to do a painting of the Long Sault Rapids to be presented to Queen Elizal>eth I! when she would come to formally open the Canadian side of the International Power Dam. Stuart made two paintings of the rapids at this tinlc, each from a different angle. Mrs. "Bud" McKinnon (Margery Shepherd) has the other one in her fine collection of Stuart McCormick's paintings. A number of Glengarrians recognized rllc painting of the Long Sault Rapids by Stuart McCormick, displayed at that time on the second landing of the impressive staircase at Marlborough House, London, England. --- A painting of our firsr Bishop, Alexander Macdonell by Sir Martin Archer-Shee, President of the Royal Academy, London, Eng., 1825, now hangs in the National Archive$ in Ottawa. This painting was found in the house of a grand nephew of [he Bishop, Sandy Duncan (Buie) Macdonell, Alexandria, Ont. The house was builr in the shape of a cross and is still standing just east of the Graham home on highwasy 43. This painting, lifc size, was jet black from years of hanging on the wall. Uncle Stuart was asked by Rev. Father Ewen J. MacDonald to clean and restore it and he did a handsome job of it. The klccorrnick Woolen Mill - 35/2nd bcliiel crcd~t: painting by S. McCormick 21 7--THE McCORMICKS (Roderick McCannick and Christrna M. MacKinnoh -24/3rd. Ldchiel) THE McCORMICK WOOLEN MILL Lot 35 in the 2nd concession of the townsh~pof Lochiel, Glengarry county, Ontario is now the home of the Glengarry Golf and Country Club. It wasn't until 18 17 that an army Colonel f~omthe British Army Corps of Engineers, India, finished his home on the above io1.l Colonel Alexander Chisholm emigrated from Scotland in the early 1800's. Because of his rank, he was allotted 800 acres of land with two rivers flowing through it. The Colonel, realizing the potential of the rivers, Delisle and Garry and the viability of sheep farming, had in his plans to construct a woolen mill. Priest's Mill (Alexandria 1819-1848)~anda mill 2 miles east of the town known as Muillen Ur (New Mill or New Woolen Mill) preceeded this mill to be built on the Garry. Muilleann Ur burned about 1830, and one wall defied the elements by standing another 60 years or s0.j At this lime, David Tomb, born near Malone, N.Y. (1825-1897), came with his parents to ~artintowawherehe worked with his fa~herin a store and in a mill. Jt was from here that he was requested by the Chisholms to come to Lot 35 in the 2nd of Lachiel and set up a water-powered carding mill. This he did, raking with him his carding equipmenr. A dam was construcred on the Garry River, as it drew more water than the Delisle. Mr. and Mrs. David Tomb (lsabella MacKenzie of Williarnstown) and James settled in the cramped quarters of a corner of the carding n~illawaitir!!: the complelion of their home, which stood near Cameron McCormick's home. Mr. and Mrs. David Tomb had four children, James, John, Mary and Annie (Mrs. James Mooney). On March 29, 1910, almost 100 years after the Colonel had so gracefully landscaped the fronl of his farm so that in years to come it adap~edeasily to a golf course, a new owner settled. Roderick, J. McCormick and hjs wife Annie Geelan sold their farm six miles east of Alexandria to move closer to town. Rory McCortnick bought 110 acres of land on 35 in the 2nd or Lochiel, including the Mill from the Colonel's daughter, Hannah Chisholm and Henry J. MacDonald, for ;he sum of $7,500.5 In September 1925, Frank McCorrnick (Rory's oldest son) was married. He bought the Mill and just the land around it from his father. The Mill was on the west side of the river, and directly across the dam on the east side. Uncle Frank had built his own shop where he did all his own lathe fl'B--THE McCORMiC~S(~oderickMcCormick and Christens M. MacKinnon -ZA/3rd. hehiel) work (both steel and wood) for the Mill. To the east of the shop, where the tong lane'came to an end, a common sight was twelve tandem buggies, each pulled by a team of horses, tied to the fence while their owners and families were waiting for the wool to be carded. The women made an all-day affair of it, bringing their food and spinning the yarn as it was carded until all the wool was finished.* Many of these families were Frenchspeaking from Rigaud, Ste. Marthe, St. Justine, St. Clet and St.Telesphore,Quebec. They made the long journey with their families in these buggies with 100 tbs. of wool in large jute bags strapped to the back of the buggiesn3 My earliest recollection of the Mill was entering the building and seeing and hearing those huge belts on the same size pulleys, going from basement to rhe second floor and turning the machines. If we got too close, we'd hear the stern and everwatchful Uncle Frank yell ar us, "Get away from those belts!'' I can srill remember him calling us downstairs to take our attention from the danger. The stairs always reminded me of a dungeon, but they were made of wood. His office was on the first floor and in it was the lever he would turn to shut off the water or let it come into the wheel. He did have a generator, but on1 y for lights! he Mill was operated by the wa.ter wheel which was connected to the individual machines by shafts, belts and pulleys. The water wheel also ran the generator. He had a few electric lights in the house, but if the Mill wasn't running at night, it was back to the coal-oil lamps.5 We could not see the water coming in, but the roar of it conjured up in our small minds all kinds of adventurous happenings. There were always openings in the floor and we would squat down to see the fish swimming by. There were "Muskies" in the river then. Many times Uncle Frank would allow us to fish through the holes in the floor boards. I can't remember if we ever caught any, but 1 can still remember the ones that got away. In the 19303s,Uncle Frank and John Chisholm repaired the dam. They built a new cement wall facing for the dam. On a number of occassions when we were at the Mill, farmers would bring their wool to be sold or made into custom yarn or blankets. We knew the process well, from sheep to the finished product. Most farmers in those days smoked a pipe that had to be lit with a wooden match. The farmers rarely smoked while the bags were being filled with wool at home, rhe wool having so much natural oil in it. Instead, they would chew on the matches or put them in their shirt pockets. From time to time, some of the matches found their way into the bag of wool. This was the fate of many woolen mills; a match would be ignited in the picker and an explosion resulted. Some farmers would bring the raw wool in to be washed and dyed before it was carded and then rake it home to spin it lhemselves. This process was 219- THE McCORMICKS (Roderick McCormick and Chrisrena M. MacKinnon -24/3rd. Lochiel) called "cusrom yarn." The wool brought into the mill to be sold was always washed and dyed before it was processed. After each different colour was finished, the machines had to be cleaned with steel hand combs.' It was then placed on a conveyor belt that pulled it into the picker, then to rhe carder, another belt-like wble that had hundreds of tiny wire teeth that seperated the wool into sof~erand, smaller pieces. This process kept the wool moving into huge rollers to make the wool into long, even, thick strands, not quite yarn. From there it went to the spinning mule, where rhe strands were wound around spindles, first the large ones, then to the smaller ones; where the yarn was stretched to the proper gauge for knitting. There were always women jn town or in thecountry who would knit socks, mitts, scarves or sweaters to be sold at the Mill. We used to wear the long ribbed stockings. They were itchy, but oh so warm! We were never without a pair of mitts. On the second floor, my sister Ollie and I would stand for hours at one side of the loom watching intently as the shuttle went back forth carrying the alternating coloured yarn in it's bobbin. racing from side to side through the two rows of beautiful reds, yellows, greens and black yarns. We'd cringe each time the frame would fall to let the alternate frame come up. This process produced the weaving. Our eyes were fixed on the machine, watching the patrern of checks or tartans being woven into a blanker or yard goods. We uever liked the plain blankets with two stripes on either end, there was no action there so we would go to the house to visit with Aunt Mae. With all the work she had to do, she still Found time to talk with us. She loved company, was a very warm, cheerful and a real lady. She was such a good cook that we hated to leave when ir got dark and had to return home. It was here I learned ro do the "blanket stitch", watching Aunt Mae finish the blankets before they were sold. She was a very special person to us "small frys", dways wanting to know what was going on, and we would [ell her. Some of our darkest secrets were poured out to her over a cup of hot cocoa and some of her delicious pastries. Spending the summer in the ~~de~cottage,east of Grandma's home, after I was married gavemea chance to see the old Mill again. One awful day in July, I looked out the window towards the Mill and there was a huge puff of smoke coming from the top floor of the building. "Oh my gosh, the Mill is burning and Ronnie McCormick and Jake Labell arc still in there," I thought. They managed ro escape somehow. I went to town for the Fire Department, but since he Mill was outside the jurisdicrion of the town of Alexandria, they had ro round up the volunteers and take a vote on jt. They came, up the wrong 220--THE McCORMIcKs (Roderick McCormick and Christena M. MacKimon -24/3rd. Lochiel) lane (Tomb's) so they were on the opposite side of the river and couldn'r get across the bridge because of the fire. The Mill went up like a paper box. I heard it said later that the cause of the fire was a match in the wool. The Mill burned July 1949. A fireplace at the home of Frank McCormick - which he built - showing his stone masonary.
