Below
are some of the items I came across, which I found under Personal Mention, while researching my family tree.
Good luck in your search.
BYRNE – DOWDALL Dear Sir: I am trying to gather information on our great great grandparents, Owen and Ellen Dowdall Byrne, pioneer settlers in Lanark Co. They owned a 100 acre farm (Lot 16, 8th Conc.) in N. Burgess Township near Stanleyville. They were married in St. John’s Church in 1835 and had 12 children. They were Mary (Byrne) Cunningham, our great grandmother, John and Patrick who migrated to Wisconsin; James, Catherine who married Henry Cooper, Ellen, Susan, Teressa, Ann, Bridget, Margaret and Agnes. They married a Ryan, McGibbon, McGlade, Connor (O’Connor), Hogan and Bennett. Who married who? Our three great grandparents Patrick and Judith (Keating) Dowdall were also pioneer settlers in Lanark Co. They had a 200 acre farm (Lot 14, 5th Conc.) in Drummond Township. Is there a genealogist, historian or descendants in the Perth area to which you can refer my letter, who can help us gather information on our ancestors. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

CANTON A PERTH MAN HONORED – From the East Syracuse,
N.Y., News of March 24, we learn that Mr. Martin Canton, once of this town, has
been elected treasurer of that village.
The News also gives a very correct portrait of Mr. Canton, who is a son
of the late Mrs. Canton, who died here a few months ago, and a nephew of Messrs.
D.R. and James Noonan of this town. Being lame, he learned the trade of shoemaker, in the shop of Mr.
Peter Whyte, and some years ago moved to Syracuse. The News says: - Mr. Martin Canton, elected treasurer of the
village of East Syracuse, a Democrat of the old school, was endorsed by both
parties. He has acceptably filled the
position for the past five years. He is
also treasurer of the Board of Education, being appointed by the board each
year for the past five years. Mr.
Canton came to East Syracuse from Perth, Canada in 1883, and he has been
engaged here since that time in the shoe business. In 1891-92 and ’93 he acceptably filled the office of town clerk
for this town. He is a popular fellow
and has a host of friends. He believes
in progression, and you will always see him championing any movement that is of
interest to the future prosperity of the village. Mr. Canton is a volunteer fireman and a member of the old A.D.
Ellis Engine Company. During Mr.
Canton’s administration as treasurer, more than $150,000 passed through his hands.

DROUGHAN ASSOCIATES HONOR RETIRING TRAINMAN - Mr. Robert (Bob) Wilson was the recipient of a beautiful Gladstone travelling bag on the occasion of his retirement on pension from active duty with the Canadian Pacific Railway, after 26 years faithful service with the company. For over two decades, Mr. Wilson or Bob, as he was called by his many friends, was a trainman on passenger service between Montreal and Toronto. Previous to his retirement, Mr. Wilson was on the Perth local. During his railroading career, Bob has handled thousands of passengers who will always remember him by his cheery disposition and courtesy, which was on more than one occasion remembered by his superiors of the company, who held Bob in the highest esteem, and considered him a man most fitted for his position in meeting the travelling public. Mr. Ernie Demmers presented the Gladstone travelling bag on behalf of the Smiths Falls Winchester sub-division and Mr. K. Droughan read the following brief address:
"On behalf of the boys of the Smiths Falls Winchester sub-division, we wish to present this token of our esteem and we hope that you may have many years of good health and many miles of travel to enjoy it."
Mr. G. Sauve presented Mrs. Wilson with a large bouquet of red and yellow roses. Mr. Wilson with his attractive smile and well known humor, very fittingly thanked his former associates at the C.P.R. on behalf of Mrs. Wilson and himself.

HARTNEY PERTH TOWN COUNCIL – Letter from Mr. E.G. Malloch, barrister, writing on behalf of Mr. Michael Hartney, who claimed damages for injuries received in the way of a sprained wrist and other bodily hurts from a fall caused by loose plank in the side walk on Drummond st, near the Powell property on April 22. This letter was referred to the Finance Committee for consideration. (29 Apr 1898 pg 1)
HARTNEY Mr. Steward read the following report of the Finance committee, re the letter from Mrs. Hartney:
To the Mayor:
Gentlemen – We, your Finance Committee to whom was referred the communication of Mr. F.G. Malloch, with respect to an in injury sustained by Mrs. Hartney owing as was alleged, to a defective sidewalk on Drummond street, beg have to report as follows:
We were informed the day after the last meeting, when the matter was to us referred, that Mrs. Hartney only desired the town to ? the expenses she had incurred for medical attendance, but when interviewed by your committee she would make no statement of what she really wanted and desired the council to make an offer of settlement. We have had Mrs. Hartney examined by a doctor on behalf of the town and have also made enquiries as to the state of the sidewalk at the place where and at the time when the accident was alledge to have taken place. From the information received by us we are of the opinion that the town is not liable for damages and we would recommend that no offer of settlements be made.
H.M. Shaw
G.A. Consitt
J.A. Steward.
Mr. Stewart said the Finance committee understood that all Mrs. Hartney wanted at first was the simple amount for medical attendance, but when they had called on her she had taken another position, and thought the council should make her an offer. The committee examined the place where the accident took place – on the walk past the Powell property – and he could say that no safer walk existed in town. There was absolutely no case against the town, for no negligence or disregard of notice of a dangerous place had happened. One ? of the plank that had caused the accident was nailed down, and the party taking to Mrs. Hartney seemed to be standing on the end outside the sleeper?. The Mayor said Mrs. Hartney had called at his office, and informed him that the injuries were not so serious as she first thought, and that she would settle for the amount of the doctor’s bill, which would probably be covered by $5. The report was adopted. (13 May 1898 pg 7)
HARTNEY MR. BERNARD HARTNEY, of Eganville, was in Perth last week having accompanied his mother home, having spent a few weeks with her son in Eganville. (1 Aug 1963 pg 8 – Perth 50 years ago)
HEALY A requiem mass for the late Mrs. D.C. Healy was held in St. Francis de Sales church, Smiths Falls, on Monday morning, in memory of the anniversary of her death which occurred on April 14th, 1908. Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Kelly, and during the service solos were sung by Mrs. J. Muldoon and Mrs. T. Dumuy. (30 Apr 1909 pg 7)
HEALY FARM BUILDINGS BURNED – PETER HEALY, MONTAGUE, LOSES HEAVILY FROM THE SUPPOSED WORK OF TRAMPS – The valuable barns and outbuildings belonging to Peter Healy, of Montague, were destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, together with their contents. The buildings being dry burned fiercely and rapidly. The horses were all gotten out safely, and with the exception of a couple of pigs and some hens no stock was lost. Mr. Healy’s outbuildings were among the most extensive in that part of the country. The main barn was 100 feet long, another was 40x50 feet and in addition to these there were sheds 200 feet in length. The latter were filled with the season’s crop of hay and barns were full of grain. It was not threshed and arrangements had been made for the threshers to go there on Monday. About half of Mr. Healy’s farm machinery was stored in the buildings and such headway had the fire gained that none of it could be saved. The loss on this alone will amount to fully $500.? It is estimated that $5,000 scarcely covers the total loss and the insurance is only $1,700. Mr. Healy was in Montreal at the time with a car load of cattle, and the first intimation he had of his loss was when he telephoned on Sunday to ask if everything was alright at his home. It is supposed to have been caused by tramps as two or three were seen in that locality soon after the fire broke out. (25 Sep 1908 pg 5)
HEALEY INJURED IN RUNAWAY – D.C. Healey, of Smiths Falls, was thrown from his buggy while returning from Montague on Saturday night, and was dragged about a half a mile before he could get the runaway stopped. He succeeded in reaching his home and was taken at once to St. Francis Hospital. It was found that his head was cut to the skull and seventeen stitches were required to close the wound. An artery was also cut and Mr. Healey suffered greatly from loss of blood. (22 Nov 1912 pg 4)
HENRETTA THE BIGGEST POTATO YET - The COURIER is bound to get all the big things. On Saturday, Mr. John Henretta, painter, handed us a potato, grown in his garden, which weighed 2 lbs. 10 ½ oz. This is 2 ½ oz. Larger than the one grown by Mrs. Bolton. (18 Oct 1907 pg 5)
HENRETTA MR. P.J. HENRETTA has gone to Detroit Mich., where he has secured a position in the Ford plant there. Mrs. Henretta expects to follow shortly. (19 Jan 1923 pg 4)
HENRETTA CONGRATULATED ON WORKMANSHIP – The C.P.R. station at Perth and Glen Tay have been repainted and redecorated under the supervision of Mr. J.T. Henretta, who had the contract. After inspection the work was found to be satisfactory in every detail and Mr. Henretta was congratulated by several of the officials on his excellent workmanship. (9 Aug 1929 pg 1)

HENRETTA FARMER OF THE WEEK
PAT HENRETTA, 44 YEARS A MAILMAN, FINDS DIVERSION WITH COON HOUNDS
(photo and caption) – PAT HENRETTA or RR1, Perth, stands with two symbols of his life’s work, a mailbox and his blue tick coon hound sire, Blue Tigar. Mr. Henretta will celebrate 44 years as a rural mailman July 1. He has been raising hounds for 50 years.
Article - Pat Henretta, of RR2 Perth, will celebrate his 44th year as a rural mailman July 1st. It was on this date over four decades ago that Mr. Henretta first hitched up his horse and buggy to deliver the rural mail between Perth and Innisville.
Mr. Henretta explained how he got started as a rural mailman.
“Back around the twenties, a lot of the farm lads had horses and started delivering mail as a part-time operation. Many of us liked the job so much we stayed with it. Most of the lads who started about the same time I did are still on the job.”
In all, seven rural mailmen operate out of Perth. The “youngest” has been with the group for 25 years. The are James Frizell, Norman Darou, Arden Blockburn, Ray Chaplin, Howard Roberts, Vince Bowes and Mr. Henretta.
Mr. Henretta delivers mail to 92 boxes between Perth and Innisville, a 27 mile round trip.
“Ever since I first got a government contract to deliver mail,” he said, “I have never once had to tender for it. It has always been renewed. They do this if you give good service and receive no complaints.”
This is perhaps the reason Mr. Henretta has continued so long as a rural mailman. He simply enjoys his work.
ONE BIG FAMILY
“You meet the same people day after day, year after year, so that they all seem like they belong to the same household,” he remarked, “If I didn’t have the mail route, I don’t know what I’d do with myself.
The rural mailman is a friend of everybody and everybody is a friend of his.
In his horse and buggy days Mr. Henretta was all things to all people.
“Before there were many cars around here, he said, “many of my customers relied on me to bring them supplies from town. I used to take a lot of stuff to them – everything from mousetraps to buggy wheels.”
The major change Mr. Henretta has noticed, from a mailman’s point of view over the last 40 years has been the vast improvement in the roads around Perth.
“In the old days I was lucky to get around my route more than one day a week in the winter and spring. There were no snowplows in winter and in spring the roads were just a sea of mud. Nov we have good asphalt highways and the snowplow goes through in a few hours.”
SETTLES ARGUMENT
Mr. Henretta related an amusing experience he had delivering main in the old days. “I came up to this farm where two brothers lived, to deliver their mail and I saw them standing outside arguing,” he said. “They were arguing what day it was, Monday or Tuesday. I turned to one of them and said ‘tomorrow is Christmas.’ He looked at his brother with a surprised look on his face and said, ‘is it really that near Christmas?”
Mr. Henretta summed up his feelings about being a rural mailman when he said, “the worst day I have all week is Sunday, the day I don’t deliver mail.”
Next to his mail route, Mr. Henretta’s major interest in life centres around his hounds. He has been raising hounds for the last 50 years but it was only five years ago that he turned to raising pure-breds. He now has nine registered blue tick coon hounds, and has sold 35 to hunting enthusiasts in the area.
CHAMPION HOUNDS
One of the pups Mr. Henretta sold to the Bolingbroke Hunt Club of Smiths Falls is a coming champion named Blue Rebel. Last month he was the best junior male of class and breed in the bench show at the Canadian Coon Hunting Association meet in Forest, Ont. He also placed third in the night hunt out of f field of 75 dogs.
Mr. Henretta is a director in the Coon Hunting Association which boasts a membership of over 300 persons across Canada. Each year the Association holds two major hunts, one in the spring and another in the fall. Last year at the fall hunt at Rideau Ferry, 106 dogs entered. Another hunt is planned for Rideau Ferry again this year.
At these hunts, dogs are awarded points on their ability to track live coons.
Mr. Henretta said a good hound would sell for as high as $50. “In Canada you have to breed really top flight hounds if you are going to make any money because of competition from the States,” he remarked. “Unfortunately there isn’t such a big demand for them at present in Canada,” he added. (25 Jun 1964 pg 12)
HENRETTA FOR SALE BY TENDER TO CLOSE AN ESTATE – IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF JOHN THOMAS HENRETTA, deceased. – Tenders will be received by the undersigned up to five o’clock in the afternoon on Friday, August 30, 1963, for the purchase of the dwelling and premises known as 21 Cockburn Street being that part of Lot Number Six (6) on the North side of Cockburn Street in the Town of Perth according to the registered plan of the said Town, as described in registered deed 3851.

The highest or any tender not necessarily accepted but any tender will be carefully considered. Mail or deliver tenders to the undersigned from whom further particulars may be obtained and an inspection appointment be arranged.

HOGAN FATHER HOGAN PARISH PRIEST – (photo) The
appointment of Rev. Father Hogan, now of Napanee, to succeed the late Father
Davis as parish priest at Perth is causing much joy among the parishioners
here. Father Hogan is expected to commence his duties here about the first
Sunday in August. Father Hogan was born
on the Scotch Line in the year 1853, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hogan
(both deceased) and is a brother of Messrs. Patrick Hogan and Bernard Hogan, of
the Scotch Line. His only living sister
Mary Ann Hogan resides with him. Father
Hogan went to the Separate school in Perth and later to the Collegiate
Institute. He is a graduate of St.
Michael’s College, Toronto. After
graduating, he went to Laval University, Quebec, where he took the prescribed
course in theology. In 1876 he was
ordained with priest’s orders by the late Bishop O’Brien, at Kingston. He spent a short term at Emily, near
Lindsay, and then for five years was allotted to the Cathedral, at Kingston. In 1882 he succeeded Father O’Donoghue as
priest of the Parish of Erinsville; in 1886 he was removed to Gananoque, where
he remained four years, when he was promoted to Napanee, to succeed Father
McDonagh, in 1890. Father Hogan’s
popularity in Napanee is voiced by the Beaver last week: During his fourteen
years, pastorate here the reverend gentleman has, by his quiet, unostentatious
demeanor, genial ways and cordiality with all classes, secured the esteem and
good will of the entire community. We
are sorry to lose so valuable a citizen, and hope he may meet with the success
he deserves in his new field of labor.
Father Hogan’s wide circle of friends and the friends of his family
rejoice at his promotion. He is the
first parish priest of Perth, who is a native of Perth. (23 Jul 1904 pg 1)
HOGAN MR. AND MRS. M. HOGAN and daughter were the guests of Miss A. Hartney over the holiday. (5 Jul 1912 pg 5)
HOGAN The license
commissioners will meet in Smiths Falls on April 22nd to consider
applications for liquor licenses. In
addition to the twelve tavern and two shop-licenses who are applying for
renewals, James P. Hogan is applying for a license for Barrie’s hotel, and
Nicholas Hogan a shop license in Smiths Falls. (Fri. Apr 5, 1912 pg 4)
HOGAN South Lanark Licenses - The license commissioner for South Lanark met in Smiths Falls on Monday, and granted the following licenses, there being one more this year, J.P. Hogan for the Barrie house, Perth: W.J. Flett (Revere), F.A. Lambert (Queen’s) Thomas B. Wilson, (Hicks House), Cornelius Fitzgerald (Hotel Cecil), Mrs. Young, (Albion), Jas Spalding and F.S. Walker (shops); Smiths Falls: Chas. O’Reilly (Ridean), J.B. Clint (Union), Mrs. Alice M. Bradely (Russell) E. Sloan & Co, (Arlington), Payne & Timmins Palace. Tavern licenses were granted in Drummond township to Mrs. Julia McGarry at Innisville and W.H. McCaffery at Ferguson’ Falls. Application was made by Nicholas Hogan for a shop license at Smiths Falls. The commissioners decided however that a license was not really needed and refuse the application. (Fri Apr 26, 1912 pg 5)
HOGAN Eddie Hogan, aged seven years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Hogan, Drummond Street East, would surely have drowned in the Canal Basin in Perth on Wednesday afternoon of this week but for his timely rescue by Mr. Harry Gould who plunged into the cold water, dived and caught hold of the boy, who was beneath the surface, swam with him to the crib work on the east side of the basin and with a Herculean effort handed him to Mr. Mervyn McLaren the boy afterward being resuscitated by three doctors and then taken to his home where he was almost completely recovered from his sudden experience. The lad was playing in Mr. Philip Gould’s yard at the water’s edge along with some companions when he fell into the water and was carried by the current beneath the Gore Street bridge and well into the basin. One of the lad’s chums raised the alarm by notifying Mr. Philip Gould and his son Harry in the Gould Store and Harry who, by the way, was at home from the Collegiate Institute with a severe cold, nevertheless thought of duty first, and running across Gore Street to the edge of the basin and jumping in the water and rescued the boy. In the meantime, telephone messages had been sent to all the local doctors three immediately responded and they, as already stated resuscitated the boy, who previously had been looked upon by those gathered around as having succumbed. Harry Gould’s heroic act is deserving of recognition by the presentation to him of a life saving medal. He is an expert swimmer and diver, and as such was enabled to save the life of Eddie Hogan. (16 May 1979 pg 36, found under Perth - 50 years ago)
HOGAN Mr. Harry Gould, at present a student at Toronto university, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Gould, Gore Street, Perth, has been awarded a bronze medal by the Royal Canadian Humane Society at Hamilton for his deed of bravery in saving Eddie Hogan, age 7, from drowning in the Tay here on May 15, 1929.

HOGAN REV. DEAN HOGAN COMPLETES HALF A CENTURY IN PRIESTHOOD
Ordained as Priest in December, 1976, by Late Bishop O’Brien at Kingston Appointed to St. John’s Parish, Perth, in July, 1904.
The present joyous festive season is accompanied by another event of especial significance to the community of Perth and district. Reference is made to the completion this week by Rev. Dean J.T. Hogan, the beloved parish priest of St. John’s R.C. Church of half a century in the priesthood. St. John’s parishioners had planned to fittingly honor Rev. Hogan and celebrate the momentous occasion, but their plans were abandoned when Rev. Hogan expressed a wish otherwise, and so the event has passed into history unmarked by any special demonstration. It is a happy coincidence that the completion of Rev. Dean Hogan’s half century in the priesthood also marks the completion of the new, magnificent Perth Separate School, build almost solely through his initiative and indefatigable efforts.
REV. HOGAN’S CAREER.
Rev. Hogan was born on the Scotch Line, near Perth, in 1852, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hogan. He went to the Perth Separate School and Perth Collegiate Institute. Later he graduated from St. Michael’s College, Toronto, and then went to Laval University, Quebec, where he took the priesthood course in theology, in 1876 he was ordained with priest’s orders by the late Bishop O’Brien, at Kingston. He spent a short term at Emily, near Lindsay, and than for five years was allotted to the Cathedral at Kingston. In 1882, he succeeded Father O’Donaghue as priest of the parish of Erinsville, and in 1886 he was removed to Gananoque where he remained four years when he was promoted to Napanee to succeed Father McDonagh in 1890. He came to Perth in August, 1904, and of his arrival the Courier of August 19th of that year said: “Rev. Father Hogan, appointed to the parish of Perth by Archbishop Gauthier, arrived in town last Thursday, and is now domiciled at the presbytery. He was met at the station by Mr. D.R. Noonan, Sheriff McGarry, Mr. John Doyle and other members of St. John’s congregation. Sunday he conducted his first service since his appointment, and in his sermon, Father Hogan said that it was natural, of course, that he should feel pleased to the appointed to his native parish. The appointment was not of his seeking, for the simple reason that in the Catholic Church the pastor never sought his parish, or the congregation their pastor. He spoke very feelingly of the congregations he was parted with at Deseronto and Napanee. It was the most trying time of his life to part with the parishioners he had been with for 15 years, for his cup was full of happiness with them. He had to bow to the dictates of his superiors and the ? father hoped that his stay in Perth, however long or short, would be marked with success for his congregation and himself.

As vice-chairman of the public library board he was an active and painstaking member. In the C.M.B.A., he at various times occupied the position of president, secretary and district deputy. He also was secretary of St. Francis Xavier church committee and in this position was an indefatigable worker. The Recorder is pleased to be able to state that Mr. Noonan has secured a lucrative position as Inspector of the North American Life Assurance Co., for Eastern Ontario. The work done by Mr. Noonan as principal of the Separate school is too well known to need comment, having raised the school to a degree of efficiency that has placed it at the head of the Separate schools in the province. He was a careful and painstaking teacher and many are the pupils now scattered throughout America who cherish the most pleasant memories of the Brockville Separate school and its efficient principal. Mr. and Mrs. Noonan will take up their residence in Perth, and the Recorder extends its best wishes to them for future success. 1 Sep 1899 pg 4)

SMITH PERTH DEEPLY AFFECTED BY TRENTON TRAGEDY
THREE LOCAL BOYS GIVE UP LIVES AS RESULT OF
FATALITY IN CHEMICAL PLANT AT TRENTON
One of the most shocking tragedies to effect Perth in recent years was the explosion in the plant of the British Chemical Company at Trenton exactly at 1:45 Friday morning last, in which three Perth boys lost their lives. Philip Doynes MacDonnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. P.J.C. MacDonnell, Perth; Edwin Charles Noonan, son of Mr. H.T. Noonan, Perth, and James Bernard Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith, Perth. These three boys went to Trenton only the previous Wednesday and engaged with the Chemical Company, commencing work on the night of the following Thursday. The explosion occurred a couple of hours later after commencing work in a small separate building known as the “solvent, recovery” department. What the cause was has not yet been ascertained, but it was probably due to chemicals forming an explosive compound. Seven men were engaged in the building at the time. They were Philip MacDonnell, Edward Noonan, Bernard Smith, Perth, two McLean boys of Ottawa, S. Mentha Of Quebec, and a boy named Norris, who came from New Brunswick. There was a large powder bin at one end of the building and Philip MacDonnell and Bernard Smith were standing on one side of this bin near a narrow gauge track on which a small car was run, conveying the powder out of the building. The two McLean boys were standing on the other side of the bin and, not so close to it. S. Mentha Was also near the bin. Edwin Noonan and the Norris boy were further away from the bin, standing near the entrance. The small box car was being reloaded with powder when suddenly and explosion occurred, which could be heard for miles around, and a sheet of flame flew in the air over a hundred feet, carrying the roof of the building with it. Fire broke out immediately and no one was allowed near the building until the flames had subsided, for fear of more explosions. The MacDonnell, Smith and Mentha boys, who were either stunned or killed outright, were burned in the building. Edwin Noonan was thrown some forty feet in the air, and the Norris boy also some distance in the air, but both were clear of flames when picked up. The most miraculous escape, however, was that of the two McLean boys, who were near the powder bin. The explosion seemed to go straight up in front of them, and other than being thrown some distance by the concussion and experiencing some severe bruises, they were able to be up and around again this week. Edwin Noonan experienced terrible burns, his body being a mass of burns from the waist to the head and face. He and the Norris boy were injured the most and were rushed to the private hospital maintained by the company. Edwin was conscious soon afterwards and maintained great cheerfulness throughout. On reaching the hospital he spoke to the doctors, continued on pg 8 (rest of the paragraph illegible) (7 Dec 1917 pg 1)
SMITH/GRAHAM BOY DROWNED TUESDAY AFTERNOON
SEVEN YEAR OLD SON OF MR. AND MRS. DAVID GRAHAM
BODY NOT YET RECOVERED
The seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Graham, Drummond street, was drowned in the Tay river near the Drummond street bridge on Tuesday afternoon last shortly after 4 o’clock. He in the company with two other companions, a little Palmer boy, who lives with his mother on Drummond street, and the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Harvey, Basin street, were riding on a sleigh down the embankment to the river, and going out too far on the ice in the river it gave away and the three children fell into the water. Mrs. Graham saw the children as they went through the ice and rushed down to the river and caught the Harvey child and held on to him from the edge of the ice. Her own boy and the Palmer boy held on to the edge of the ice for a bried period. Harold Ferguson and Birtch? Jackmann, who were near at the time, were endeavouring to draw Mrs. Graham back from the edge of the ice when it gave away and they all went into the water. However, the succeeded in getting Mrs. Graham and the Harvey boy out of the water with the assistance of Mr. George Thompson, who was driving by at the time and removed the lines from the harness and threw them to those struggling in the water. COLLINGWOOD SMITH rescued the young Palmer boy from the water, but before assistance could be given the Graham boy, he lost hold on the ice and sank. An immediate search of the river for the body was made by men in boats up till twelve o’clock Tuesday night and again all day Wednesday and Thursday, but it was of no avail and his body has not yet been recovered. The river was lowered Thursday to facilitate further search for the boy, and on Thursday afternoon Mr. T.A. Code sent all his men employees to search for the boy, but at this season of the year, with ice in the river, it is a very difficult matter, the current possibly carrying the body some distance. A net was strung across the river at the last bridge on Craig street Wednesday. Had it not been for the efforts of the rescuers the other two children and woman would have gone down. (Fri. Sec 7, 1917 pg 1)

YOUNG – NOONAN SAD ACCIDENT – The Almonte Gazette of Sept. 29th says: ‘On Wednesday afternnon just a little before quitting time Fred Young, aged 17 years, a nephew of Mr. Noonan, principal of the separate school, was engaged cleaning up a set of cards in No. 1 mill, preparatory to stopping for the day, when in some way his right arm was caught in the machine, and was badly lacerated. It was cut from the elbow to the palm of the hand, in the lower part of the flesh, muscles and tendons being stripped entirely from the bone. Medical aid was quickly summoned and the arm was dressed. The usefulness of the hand will be lost, and there is probability that the arm may yet have to be amputated.’ The unfortunate man was a son of Mrs. D. Young, Perth, and had only been working in the factory a few days. We regret to say the arm had to amputated. (6 Oct 1899 pg 4)
YOUNG – NOONAN Fred Young, the boy who was injured in No. 1 Mill Almonte recently, was taken to the Protestant hospital, Ottawa, for treatment.

The boy is now doing as well as could be expected. The boy’s father is dead, but his uncle, Mr. Noonan, went down to be present at the operation – C. Canadian. (20 Oct 1899 pg 4)
