Having been born here, and having gone to ten grades of school here, and being a fifth generation Calder living at Calderwood, one is rather steeped in tradition, history if you like, and maybe this is as it should be. One earns a respect for the past and therefore the importance of the present. Searching for information in school registers, in old deeds, minutes of organizations, old newspaper items, preserved letters impresses one with the great Importance of preserving the records of our past so that we have respect for the present and therefore the IM! lire. Where will we find school records in the future, minutes of organizations, local newspaper items? I loes anyone save letters telling of our daily doings? The old weekly newspapers contained so many Interesting items of everyday events and usually these i veil. How will we make use of our telephone conversations, our radio and television news items, when someone wants to look back and record our times? In compiling a record of what is essentially everyone's business, one has to try to be as accurate as possible. If there are any errors in this publication it is hoped that they will not cause anyone undue concern. Thanks Many, many people, too numerous to list, are to be thanked most sincerely for their help in the preparation of this book, by providing information from memory, printed material and pictures. However, there are some who must be acknowledged individually, as; Vangie Way; Margaret Kenney; Adeline Chisholm and daughters Mary Maclaren and Margaret Spindler; Ethel Wallace; Marjorie Fraser; Daisy MacDonald; Maria Grant Nelson; Mrs. Tom Dennie; Margaret Bamford; Beulah Fraser; Margaret Buck; Bob Cameron; John McLean; Donald MacLean; Dr. Keith Muir; Jim Chisholm; Margaret Durning; Registry of Deeds Office, Pictou, N.S.; Murray Photography Ltd.; Public Archives : f Xova Scotia; National Archives of Canada. The most thanks of all must go to my wife, Bets, HTJ some call Betty or Mary Elizabeth. She has been answering questions on spelling or grammar or just "How does this sound?" and finally proofreading it all, after these many months. Son John has also been most helpful with suggestions and editing. Dr. Hugh D. Chisholm with daughters Margaret, left, and Mary. 10 Dr. Hugh P. Chisholm This book is humbly dedicated to the memory of Dr. Hugh D. Chisholm, who was born in Springville and lived in Springville, all of his life, 1881-1950. He was the youngest son of Duncan and Jane MacDonald) Chisholm. He went to school in Springville and Pictou Academy and on to Dalhousie University in Halifax from where he obtained his degrees of M.D., CM. in 1907. Many were the hours as a boy that I listened to Dr. Chisholm and my father, who were lifelong friends, .ussing world and local events — some tragic, some humorous. There were many visits to the "Doctor's" and visits to our house. Most, but not all of my visits • the Doctor" were social. I recall a visit to our house e gave me a whiff of chloroform and stitched up n my forehead. Such were some of the visits! He didn't have office hours. People came at any hour f the day or night. He drove his horse and sleigh to anyone in need up and down the Valley of the East -"_ r r For the first twenty years of his practise he, his •other and older sister Bessie lived in the family home, 11 where he had his large office and dispensary. In 1930 he married Adeline Himmelman, R.N. from Bridgeville. She, too, contributed much as she assisted the Doctor in his care of patients, both at the office and in their homes. They had two daughters, Mary and Margaret. They too entered the medical field. Mary is a medical doctor in Ottawa, she is married to Ken Maclaren, and they have four children: Janet, Wendy, Gordon and Alex. Margaret is an Occupational and Physiotherapist, and married to Harry Spindler. Early in Dr. Chisholm's career he was honored by the community as described below. On Friday evening, March 23rd, 1917 almost everyone in the bounds of the East River gathered at the home of Dr. Chisholm, to honor him, by presenting him with some gifts and expressions of appreciation. They gave him a medical case, a surgical case, both fully equipped, a pair of electric carriage lamps and a purse of fifty dollars. These gifts come to you, they continued to say, as the expression of the good will, not of one or two, but of the whole community, young and old. They are a recognition of your eight years of patient, unremitting, and self sacrificing toil among us. No storm has been so fierce nor road so difficult that it could prevent you from answering the call of duty. Disease and death have found in you a relentless foe. You are a skillful physician and we are proud of you, but more than that you are our beloved physician, for while by your skill and medicines you drive away our ills, by your fine, tender sympathy, your genuine interest and your unfailing cheer and kindness, you bring new courage and hope. If a man's greatness be measured by the service 12 he renders to his fellow man, then you have no peer in our fair valley or adjacent districts. Your whole life is a continuous outpouring of service for human needs. He continued to live up to this glowing tribute and probably exceeded it. To travel by horse or car, over roads not opened after storms, or roads that were a sea of mud, to places as far away as Caledonia or anywhere else that sick people needed him was accepted without question. His pay all too often would be a genuine heart felt and guilty thanks. He was truly a leader in all aspects of the community, all of his life. I believe that the act of dedicating this book to Dr. Hugh D. Chisholm would be most heartily agreed to by my parents, such persons as they were. Therefore, I feel that they too are included in the dedication of this book. My parents provided an excellent home life for my sister Margaret Lois and for me. They both had to work very hard to provide for all of us, but never complained about doing so. Our home seemed to be a gathering place for aunts, cles and cousins on so many Sunday afternoons. These were happy times. Many evenings, neighborhood friends gathered to z.^y cards," which was always "45s." To reminisce some more, the memory of the dinner saved for me when the long two mile trek from school :. has not gone. That dinner would be home cared ham, mashed potatoes, chow, mashed turnip and i :_: :r two of butter. For all this and much more I am ever grateful to Maude Robertson and Hugh Alfred Calder 13 Maude (Robertson) Calder and Hugh Alfred Calder.

    t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD. THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was the first professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in England and personally donated many of the specimens, dissection materials, diagrams and lecture notes that comprise the collections of the museum today.

  • 1 the Appearance of Women's Politics in the Correspondence Pages of Aberdeen Newspapers 1900–14 SARAH PEDERSEN Robert Gordo
    1 The Appearance of Women’s Politics in the Correspondence Pages of Aberdeen Newspapers 1900–14 SARAH PEDERSEN Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom ABSTRACT A newspaper’s ‘Letters to the Editor’ column represents its readership in an unique way and can provide a useful ‘thermometer’ with which to measure the extent of critical debate and discussion a particular issue generated in a locality. In this article, the letters of women to the editor of the Aberdeen Daily Journal, 1900 to 1914, are analysed to discover the type of political issues with which these women concerned themselves. It is argued that the women must have felt particularly strongly about such issues since they were prepared to take their arguments outside their social circle and to identify themselves as politically active in the pages of their daily newspaper. Political issues dealt with include local government, the suffrage question and government legislation. While much of the evidence used comes from the letters of active suffragists who were usually members of national suffrage associations, it is argued that the period showed an expansion in the type of woman interested in politics, and the corresponding urge to write to the newspapers. This is evidenced in the number of women who firmly stated that they were not suffragists, but became politicised enough to write to the newspaper complaining about the Insurance Act in 1912. 2 The following is based on a study of the letters of women correspondents to the Aberdeen Daily Journal between 1900 and the outbreak of war in 1914. It assesses the letter-writers’ attitudes to contemporary political issues, whether local, national or those perceived as ‘women’s issues’, in particular women’s involvement in local politics and the suffrage question.

We very much enjoyed our year of celebrations. Open House 2002, the special lecture by David Suzuki, the Symposium on the Future of Marine Science, and the Symphony Nova Scotia concert all contributed to the sense of community that is a strong characteristic of the Institute. The lectures by Dale Buckley (during the opening ceremonies for open house) and by Bosko Loncaravic (the first lecture of our symposium) provided rich memories of research high- lights over four decades. Both talks emphasized the key role of scientific advice to the government of Canada (such as input to the Gulf of Maine boundary dispute decided upon at the World Court in The Hague and the Arrow oil spill in Chedabucto Bay).
