| 4326 | 1869 Sep 2 - HR joined the American Civil War when is was 19 years old. His father-i-law, Andrew lamest may have fought side by side. HR & Lamott may have been drawn of Kansas by the American government's offer of free land in Kansas to veterans. HR was born the youngest son of Hugh & Mary. He was 15 years younger than his oldest sister, Ann, & yet their paths, or rather her children's paths, crossed his in Manitoba years later. We have often wondered if he knew that Lemuel Little was his nephew, who homesteaded very close to both himself & Andy. His childhood years were quite idyllic on the farm in Erin, Ontario. Being the youngest, he was spared a lot of the heavier farm labour that his older siblings bore the brunt of. hat's not saying that he didn't have to do farm work, for he did. He was to become a very successful farmer….later on in his life; so he learned his trade well. But I am getting ahead of my story. What possessed him to become a Soldier of Fortune, we don't know. As related by Andy only that he did become one. But first, he got a girl "in the family way". He met Andrew Lamott's only child Rebecca about 1861. It was also the same year that his father, Hugh, died. The Lamott's were living 20 miles to the north (in Arthur Township) of the McCutcheons, on a homestead. According to the historical records found, Andy was 4 months old when his parents married. It was also around this time HR went to live on that homestead, with his new in-laws & a new born baby. Over the next several years, he & Andrew Lamott were to became very close. 12th April 1861 & the American Civil War had just begun. There were 45,000 Canadians who served in this war. Andrew Lamott & HR McCutcheon were amongst them. HR, recently losing his father, never inherited anything. His Dad died intestate & his Mom continued living on the original farm in Erin. HR needed funds to finance his own farm in Ontario. The cheap new western Land Grants were still 15 years in the future. It is believed that HR, after getting married in June 1862, headed south to the USA by August 1862. He returned once in 1864 or 1865 long enough to make Rebecca "in the family way again" with Mary, then he left, not returning until sometime in 1867. Robert John was born thereafter. This coincides with Andy's recollections. One time Andy recalled "……when he was young, he was no darn good as a father….." Andy remembers him coming & going when he was a young boy, not being around very much, henceforth his comments. It also coincides with the births of the children. Andy maintained that Rebecca lost no children. And then there are the existing war records that need to be verified, as of yet. It's understandable why a boy would think that his father was "no good" when he wasn't around very often during Andy's formative years. Why did HR go to war as a Soldier of Fortune? Perhaps adventure, loyal to the cause of slavery (he fought for the Union), maybe he liked to kill, money. At home on the farm in Arthur, he was lucky if he made $10 per month. From historical records, Soldiers of Fortune, pedestrian Soldiers, were paid, in gold coin, between $20 & $22 US per month. They were paid more than the regular recruits, who earned between $13 & $16 a month. In those days, a sizable sum of money; enough for him to buy a farm. When he came home to Arthur, his saddle bags would have been jingling with USD gold coin. In 1867, HR McCutcheon, Rebecca, Andrew & his sister, Mary, were living on EOSR, Lot 26, along with Andrew Lamott & Jane Ferguson. This was the farm in Andrew's tale "The Man Who Rode with Jessie James". To quote Andrew "When I was a young lad I lived on my grandfather's farm near Mount Forest in Ontario…" This was the grandfather whom Andrew McCutcheon was named after. By 1870 he owned the farm in Arthur; Andrew Lamott & Jane had moved south to Neosho, Kansas. In the 1877 County Atlas for Arthur, Wellington, R. McCutcheon is solely named on EOSR, 26, Lot size 100 acres. Lamott is no longer listed on that lot. Circa 1880, HR heard the stories of cheap land opening up in the "Territories," as Western Canada was called. For $10 a quarter section of land could be purchased in Manitoba. He applied for a Land Grant & received it. After disposing of his farm in Arthur, Ontario around 1885, HR, his wife, & 5 of their children left Arthur, Ontario for the "Territories". According to family folklore, they came west in Red River Carts, settling on a farm in the locality of Spring Hill, Manitoba which is located north-west of Neepawa. HR & his family first appear in the 1891 census for Manitoba, in the newly formed Rural Municipality of Rosedale. HR was one of the first settlers in Springhill. HR received title to his land on the 28 January 1898. In 1897, building was brisk in the Glensmith area. Council news lists a few [houses] as follows: H.R. McCutcheon frame story & a half at $500.00, W.E. Mabley log house $200.00. His is an entry in the book "Kelwood Bridges the Years". This entry is significant in that is an attestation as to the wealth that HR was accumulating. Compared to the houses of the era being built, log homes at $200, he built a very capacious house; 2 story framed. It was "the talk of the town". HR's wife, Rebecca Lamott, died in 1912 leaving him on the farm, living alone. He got ill not long after she died & was unable to care for himself so a nurse by the name of Cecilia Black was hired. She stayed with him until his death on the 15 November 1917. He was finally laid to rest beside his wife of 52 years at the Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa, Manitoba. When HR died, he was relatively wealthy. The land depression still had not devastated Manitoba & when the farms were sold, $5000 was bequeathed to each of his 4 surviving children. He also bequeathed $500 to his grandson, Robert McCutcheon, perhaps because Robert (Bob) was his name sake. Bob, who was only 19 years old at the time, spent his inheritance on a new car called the Tin Lizzie. Bob drove it for a while, as long as the gas lasted & then had to tow it behind a team of horses. "HR" also left a small amount of money to his nurse, Cecelia Black. Ref: Recollections of son Andy McCutcheon & his grandson Lawrence McCutcheon. Transcripts by P J Ahlberg.

He came to Canada in 1831 with his family, & after stopping in Toronto for about 4 years, where he worked at shoemaking, in 1835, came to Eramosa Tp., & purchased 200 acres of land, lot 9, con. 2, which he cleaned & lived upon until a few months before his death, which took place in Guelph at the home of his son William. In the early days when trout were plentiful, it was a familiar sight to see Mr. Sunley fishing in the various Eramosa streams with fly at which he was an expert & an authority in the Eramosa district. In religion he was a Congregationalist, & was a Reformer in politics. He m. Rachael Coats. Issue: Robert (d. Michigan), William (d. Rockwood), Elizabeth (d.), m. William Hampson, in Toronto; George (d. Guelph), John (d. Guelph), Henry (d. Guelph), Mary (d.), m. Joseph Parkinson, Eramosa, & Noah (d. Guelph). Of these, George was b. in England, in 1815, & was apprenticed there to a tinsmith, but when the family decided to come to Canada he was bought off, & came with them. On arriving in Toronto he engaged, to complete his trade, with one Musson. Upon Musson's death in 1834, he left Toronto & came to Guelph, where he started the first tin smithing business in the place, being located on the Waterloo road. He later removed to Macdonnell Street, & afterwards to the present Sunley site on Market Square. About 1855 he took Robert Melvin as partner under the firm name of Sunley & Melvin, & as such the business was conducted until his death in 1857. Some years previous to this he bought the Matheson interest in the foundry business of Smith, Matheson & Co., & the business was conducted as Smith, Sunley & Co., until Mr. Sunley's death. The foundry business was on the site of the present opera house. Mr. Sunley had planned to build a large foundry & a new residence in the summer of 1857, but his sudden death on the 30th March of that year changed all this, & cut short the career of one of the most prominent men of the city. He was a member of the Guelph Town Council, Reeve for one year, & was Mayor from Jan. 1st, 1857, until his death in March of that year, being the second Mayor of Guelph. He was an uncompromising Reformer & a warm supporter of William Lyon Mackenzie, who attended his funeral in Guelph. Mr. Sunley was tendered the nomination for the local House, but refused to accept as he wished to devote his energies to his business, & enjoy his domestic happiness to a greater extent. In 1839 he m. Sarah, dau. of the late Mark Tovell. In 1860, his widow m. Thomas H. Taylor (d.), 1882, Z& she still survives at the age of 86. His family were: Mary (d.), m George W.

Is a Past Grand, Past Patriarch & Past District Deputy Grand & Past District Grand Deputy Grand Patriarch. He was initiated in Reliance Lodge, I.O.O.F., & 3 years later drew out to organize Progress Lodge. . Noah Sunley was nearly 3 years of age when he came with his parents to Canada, & 6 years of age when he went with them to Eramosa Tp. In his boyhood days he used to go with his farther on fishing trips, & the liking for a day's sport with rod or gun never left him, as his evidenced by the fact that he was known to hunt foxes all day after he attained the age of 70. [1858 Guelph Directory: Noah Sunley, tinsmith]. . As a young man he came to Guelph & learned the tin smithing trade with his brother George, after which he engaged in the tin smithing & stove business on Macdonnell Street West, for some time. He then moved to the present site of the Canadian Express & G.N.W. office where being burned out, he rebuilt & continued until 1862, when he retired from active business for about 8 years. After this he started a nursery & flower business having 40 acres in Galt's survey, & 5 acres of Grange Street, where he lived. He continued this business until his death in 1904. Mr. Sunley did not aspire to political or municipal office but took a decided stand as an advocate of protection, & was an ardent supporter of James Goldie, when he ran on the M.P. ticket, & later of Sir John A. Macdonald, but did not join hands with any party.

| 4343 | 1872 Jun 0 - Two accidents of a serious nature have lately occurred in connection with the lumbering operations at Manitoulin Island. James McCutcheon, in the employ of Robert Adam Lyon & Co., was severely crushed whilst engaged in breaking roll-aways by the logs starting unexpectedly. He is recovering quite rapidly as could be expected under the circumstances. Another employee named Ferguson had the better part of his foot cut off by the large circular saw. He had changed works? that morning with an acquaintance, & not being familiar with the work of tail sawing, got on the wrong side of the saw. Hence, the accident, which has maimed the poor fellow, probably for life. Both cases are progressing very favourably under the skillful direction of Dr. Simpson, Manitowaning. Ref: Canadian Champion, Milton, published 6.20.1782 P2, Column 6. Obituary, The Late James McCutcheon: On Thursday, December 14 at 3 o'clock PM another of the Island pioneers in the person of James McCutcheon passed away at the age of 71 after a prolonged illness. Mr. McCutcheon was born in the township of Adjala in the County of Dufferin in the year 1851. He came to the Manitoulin about 50 years ago to engage in the timber business, with the Robert Adam Lyon & Co. at Michaels Bay. The lure of the land soon led him to engage in the farming industry on an extensive scale in the township of Sandfield. The well-known McCutcheon farm consisted of 500 Acres with a splendid house & large modern barns situated on the trunk road between Sandfield Mills & Manitowaning is a credit to our island. He was a natural lover of horses & livestock & more than 18 years ago the writer on his first visit to this farm was by Mr. McCutcheon a splendid herd of pure bred Registered Shorthorn Cattle. In his earlier life Mr. McCutcheon devoted considerable time to Municipal affairs & for a number of years served his municipality as reeve with marked efficiency. In 1875 he married Annie Hutchinson. This union was blest with 12 children of which 7 sons & 2 daughters are still living: Stewart of Duluth, Michigan; Minard of Spring Bay, Norman of Winnipeg, John of Bruce mines, Vesper, Harold & Clifford at home & Mrs. O. Lifton & Mrs. E. March & both of Vancouver B.C. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Thomas Allen of Edmonton, & 1 brother, William, of the Niagara district, they being the youngest 2 of a family of 7. The funeral service which was held at the family residence was conducted by the Rev. W.W. Anglin, a former pastor & friend of many years to the deceased & his family, who delivered a message of comfort to the bereaved & of tribute to the memory of the deceased. A very large number of sympathetic friends & neighbours were in attendance. The pall bearers were Minard, Naaman; Vesper; Harold; Clifford; sons of the deceased & William Tilson. Mr. Hugh Little was in charge as undertaker & funeral director. Internment took place at Hilly Grove Cemetery. Mrs. McCutcheon & family have the sympathy of the entire community.
