| 23651 | St. Thomas Weekly Dispatch, Microfilm, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, Oct 12, 1865. "OBITUARY. We are sorry, this week, to have to chronicle the death of the wife of our townsman, Sheriff Munro, which sad event occurred on Sunday night last. The deceased lady was ill but a few days, when death terminated her sufferings; she was in the prime of life, being only 27 years of age; amiable, cheerful, and friendly to those with whom she was acquainted. She was beloved by her husband, who spared no expense in procuring the best medical advisers, but to no purpose. Her remains were followed to the cemetery on Tuesday last by a large assemblage of people, where she now sleeps beside her eldest child a beautiful boy of two years. We sympathize with the Sheriff in his bereavement." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Canadian Home Journal, Microfilm, St. Thomas Library, St. Thomas, Canada, Oct. 12, 1865. "DIED. Munro--In this town, on the evening of Sunday, October 8th, Alma, wife of Colin Munro, Esq., Sheriff of the County of Elgin, in the 27th year of her age. Deceased was the daughter of Lindley Moore, Esq., Port Bruce, and granddaughter of Elias Moore, Esq., one of the first members returned for Middlesex to the United Parliament of Canada. She was very much beloved by a wide circle of friends and her remains were followed to her last resting place on Tuesday, by an unusually large concourse of mourners." ----------------------------------------------- | MOORE, Mary Alma (I2435)

|
| 23657 | Stanley and Henrietta were living in Hallowell Twp following their marriage and their first child - Lidia Alberta was born in Hallowell Twp. They were still Hallowell Twp at the time of the taking of the 1881 Census. Stanley and Henrietta moved to Cockburn Island sometime after 1881, where they homesteaded on the 7th Concession. They were among the orginal settlers of the "Scotch Block". They moved to Dayton on the north shore in 1921. Stanley was a Reeve of Cockburn Island from 1896 to 1920. The family is buried in the Mapleridge Cemetery east of Thessalon. The youngest child - Dan Stillman, was born and died on Cockburn Island. Information on Thomas Stanley Goodmurphy from the book " Yonder Our Island " "Historical records prepared over the years by various school teachers reveal that the original settlers of the "Scotch Block" were the families of T.S. Goodmurphy, Joshua Reid, Malcolm McCaig, Donald Brown, and Thomas McKenny or McKinney. The Goodmurphy's came to Cockburn Island from Prince Edward County in southeastern Ontario. As the years passed, Stan and his sons cleared the largest farms on the block, approx. 90 acres. Like other farmers, they engaged in mixed farming during the early years, and later, concentrated more on stock raising, maintaining a herd of about 40 cattle. The family moved to Dayton on the north shore in 1921.

Vanzantee, Males 2, Women 2, Girls 1, Total 5. York Inhabitant. 1. LEFT SPACE FOR GIRL'S GRAVE TORONTO There is a small place of ground in the crowded heart of the city untouched by the giant commercial buildings that surround it. The plot, 12 feet by 14 feet, is dominated by the Bank of Commerce, tallest building in the commonwealth, & lies next to Toronto General Trust Building. Beneath the pavement of the courtyard of the trust building is the grave of a girl, Stella Vanzant daughter of one of Toronto's pioneers, John Vanzant who came from New York about 1778. As was the custom in those days, the child was buried in the garden. First record of the grave appeared in a deed registered in 1815. But there has been no apparent transfer of land in which it lies from the Vanzant family to other owners. The grave is protected by an honorable agreement. In 1911, when the first part of the General Trust Building was erected, the company agreed to hold the plot containing the grave inviolate &, in 1928 when an addition was made, the agreement was observed. A protective shed was built over the grave & construction went on around the shed. Mrs. Gerald Johnson of Toronto, a descendant of John Vanzant, knows of the family legend. The pioneer was of Dutch extraction & his family had helped found New Amsterdam on the Hudson River. He arrived when Toronto was a fur-trading post. Later he established a tannery at the corner of the present Adelaide & Yonge streets, some 10 years before the future town plot of York was surveyed. Actual settlement of the area was delayed until 1793, so John Vanzant was one of the first to live there. York later became part of Toronto.The Vanzants left Toronto & returned to the United States when the Mackenzie rebellion broke out in 1837. Mrs. Johnson believes the tannery & Vanzant's residence a block away may have passed into the hands of Jesse Ketchum. philanthropist & reformer. The family returned to Canada about 1850 & some of its members settled in the Markham district. Ref: Associated Press, published 1952 Dec 4th. ______________________________________________________________________ The Toronto General Trusts Building was on the east side of Bay Street, south of King Street at the north-east corner of Bay/Melinda. Melinda Street now ends at Jordan St; it does not go west to Bay St. Likewise, Jordan St. no longer goes south to Wellington; it ends at Melinda. 2. The mysterious case of the grave of Stella Vanzant: When little Stella Vanzant died of causes unknown some time in the early 1800s, her bereaved father interred the girl’s young body in a six by four-foot grave in a quiet corner of the family property near King & Bay streets. The future site of the Toronto financial district was still partially covered in groves of native trees. A few scattered wood cabins were placed at intervals along muddy tracks, & so John Vanzant might reasonably have assumed his daughter would rest in peace in perpetuity. Unfortunately, things started to go wrong for the American-born business owner very quickly, & his actions that day sparked a mystery that remains unsolved to this day. As the Toronto Star reported in 1968, records showed Vanzant was descended from early Dutch immigrants to New Utrecht (now Brooklyn, N.Y.). He claimed to have served in the Loyalist Queen’s Rangers military unit during the War of Independence, but in Upper Canada his allegiances were viewed with suspicion. His first application for a land grant near the town of York was harshly rejected. “The behaviour of this man is such that he may never have lands in this province,” a government official wrote. Something changed, however, because in 1797 Vanzant received a plot of land a short distance west of Yonge St. A few years later - it’s not known precisely when - young Stella Vanzant died & was buried somewhere near present day Melinda & Jordan streets. In 1812, her father, who was working as a wheel maker & leather tanner, was booted from Upper Canada when hostilities with the United States resumed. Unable to return, John Vanzant hastily disposed of his business interests in York. Selling the land that contained Stella’s grave wasn’t as easy, however. Vanzant was emotionally attached the property & it remained in his name for another two years. Perhaps realizing his exile was permanent, the sale was eventually processed two years later. Everything save for a “piece of ground, 6 feet in length, four feet in breadth” was transferred to Jordan Post, Sr., another early York settler. According to the deed, the small plot was “the place in which the child of the said John is interred.” It’s not clear how John Vanzant was able to sign the deed in exile. Perhaps his siblings in the Markham area had a hand in trying to ensure little Stella’s resting place would remain undisturbed. . The General Trust Building on the east side of Bay St. A 1952 Associated Press story said Stella Vanzant’s grave was near the building. After 1814, as York (soon to become Toronto) grew westward & north from its nucleus on King, east of Jarvis, Stella Vanzant’s grave appeared to remain a going concern for subsequent landowners. . An Associated Press report from December, 1952, said a 12 by 14-foot plot between the Bank of Commerce tower & the Toronto General Trust Building on Bay still remained undeveloped, per John Vanzant’s wishes. “There has been no apparent transfer of land in which it lies from the Vanzant family to other owners,” the story explained. “The grave is protected by an honourable agreement. In 1911, when the first part of the General Trust Building was erected, the company agreed to hold the plot containing the grave inviolate &, in 1928 when an addition was made, the agreement was observed.” If the AP story was correct, it meant Stella’s grave was located on the north side of Melinda, west of Jordan. However, the location appears to have become confused over the next decade. In the mid-1960s, roughy 150 years after Stella’s death, bb The tattered & yellowed document presented a problem: the bank was planning to clear & excavate much of the land between King, Bay, & Jordan, including the General Trust Building, for a $100-million extension of Commerce Court. The city’s tallest skyscraper was to rise on the west end of the newly assembled property & a large plaza with several underground levels was planned for the rest. Based on a reading of the deed, the bank concluded Stella’s grave was probably somewhere east of where the Associate Press reported, likely a the southwest corner of Jordan & Melinda, under the Osler Building. A descendent of one of John Vanzant’s brothers living in Stouffville read about the discovery of the deed in the newspaper. If his great, great uncle had indeed interred his beloved daughter in downtown Toronto, 77-year-old Charles Vanzant wanted the remains respectfully moved to the Markham Township pioneer cemetery. The bank also considered encasing any burial site in a concrete tomb & placing a memorial in the plaza. In early July, 1969, a team of archaeologists supervised by Alan Clark, the superintendent of Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, & a representative from the province, probed tentatively downward with hand shovels in the partially demolished basement of the Osler Building. Rev. Walter Gelling of St. James Cathedral was also on hand. The bank wanted a member of the clergy present in case Stella turned up. About 3 feet below the basement floor, the archaeologists’ tools struck a piece of wood roughly the size of a child’s coffin. As two workmen pried up the plank, everyone leaned forward at the top of the 12-foot hole to see what was inside. Underneath was nothing but undisturbed soil. The wood was the base of a brick foundation. For another 4 hours the team poked around the area looking for any trace of Stella’s remains without success. Alan Clark from Mt. Pleasant Cemetery officially declared the ground undisturbed & the bank was granted permission to proceed with construction. It seems no-one thought to look near the old General Trust Building. Regardless, subsequent excavation & building at Commerce Court failed to turn up any trace of the mysterious Stella Vanzant. Perhaps her grave had long ago been churned up by diggers, perhaps her relatives quietly claimed her without notifying the authorities. Perhaps she’s still down there waiting to be discovered.

Matura was oftern mention of cousin Stephen in her letters to her daughter in Oregon. It is evident that Stephen and his wife lived within a few hours travel time from Matura, but far enough away that they had to be telegraphed about Marura's deah in April 1876." | BULL, Stephen (I1802)
