Father Michael Thomas Roach was born in Mara Township, Ontario, on July 27, 1 872, the son of Thomas Roach and Cecilia McGrath. He died at Toronto, Ontario, on September 27, 1936.

Father Roach began his education in a local school. His parents later moved to Toronto to afford their children the advantages of a Catholic education. He entered St. Michael's College in 1889 and six years later went to St. Basil's Novitiate, Toronto, where he was received as a novice on September 9, 1895.

After first profession he continued his studies at St. Michael's College, 1896-98; Assumption College in Windsor, Ontario, 1899-1900; and St. Basil's Seminary in Toronto, 1898-19 and 1900-01. He was ordained priest on July 28, 1901.

After ordination Father Thomas Roach taught mathematics at St. Michael's College until 1907 when he was sent to Kalamazoo, Michigan, to open Gibbons Hall. Two years later the Congregation withdrew from this high school and Father Roach was appointed to St. Thomas High School in Houston, Texas. When the Congregation took over the direction of St. Thomas College, Chatham, New Brunswick in 1910 he was sent there as treasurer. Four years later he went to St. Basil's College in Waco, Texas. When this institution was closed in 1915 he was appointed to Assumption College. In 1916 he was named pastor of St. Mary's of the Assumption Parish in Owen Sound, Ontario. After nine fruitful years there he moved to Assumption Parish, Windsor, as assistant. He was treasurer of St. Basil's Novitiate in 192728, then in 1928 received his last appointment, to St. Anne's Parish in Detroit, Michigan. In 1933 he was found to be suffering from diabetes and at the time of his death in 1936 was being treated in Toronto for cancer. He was buried in the Basilian plot, Mount Hope Cemetery, Toronto.

Father "Tom" Roach was a good financial man who served as treasurer in every house to which he was appointed. The partiality he had for concrete floors, walks, verandas were expressive of his physique and personality -- rugged, strong, enduring. In his younger days he was a fine athlete. The Basilian Centennial Volume, St. Mary's of the Assumption Parish noted his continuing love for the outdoors, "Father Roach still maintained an enthusiasm for outdoor life, especially hunting. Year after year he took his holidays during the deer season, and usually brought back a supply of venison."

In parish work, Father Roach was a wonderful preacher whose sermons were filled with practical advice suited to the needs of his congregation. He was tremendously popular with country people. In Owen Sound he published the Golden Jubilee Volume of 1921.

From an email from Dan Boyle-danboyle-danboyle@swfla.rr.com on 11 Oct 2005 : . By 1885 William P. Corrigan, who had married Suzanne Boyle, in Mara was also in Dakota Territory. William and Suzanne settled a few miles away from Cornelius Boyle and Thomas McGrath. This Corrigan family located in Springer Township, Ransom County, Dakota Territory. They lived there from about 1883 until after 1903. (In 1889 Dakota Territory was divided into the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. Ransom county is in North Dakota.) Some of their children are buried in the Catholic cemetery in Lisbon, North Dakota. (Suzanne's sister, Elizabeth also came out to Dakota. She married Patrick Falvey and lived out her life in Dakota.) William and Suzanne moved to British Columbia (according to her father's 1914 will.) I believe they eventually moved to Oregon and died there in Clackmas County.

from an email from Dan Boyle-danboyle-danboyle@swfla.rr.com on 12 Oct 2005 : I checked a few references on the William P. Corrigan experience in Dakota. He filed his first papers for naturalization (citizenship) in Lisbon, Dakota Territory on July, 5, 1884. He got a patent on government land (160 acres in section 28 of Springer Township, Ransom County, now North Dakota on Jan. 30, 1891. Usually the patent came five years after first settlement on the land.

- Published in the Orillia Packet & Times-- June 25, 2010-- Jean Alexander (nee Crowther) R N INCH

INCH, Jean Alexander (nee Crowther) R N - It is with profound sadness that our family announces the peaceful passing of our beloved mom and grandma, Jean Inch. Mom was born in Shawinigan Falls to Sara Alexander and Cole Crowther. Beloved sister of Nora Kitchen, Willard and David Crowther all predeceased, and Heather Dupuis. Wife of the late Ben Inch. Mother of Barbara predeceased and Dr. John Weatherston, Michael and Jackie Inch, Penny and Ron Wood, and Suzanne Huften. Grandmother to Andrew and Erin Weatherston, Beth Weatherston and Nick, Tim and Claire Weatherston, and Patrick Weatherston; Nathan Inch, Justin predeceased, Grayson and Megan Inch, Mason Inch and Samantha, Benjamin and Jenn Wood, Michael Wood, Robert Huften, Scott Huften and Jenn Padmore, Heidi Huften and Phillip Patchell, Chloë, Simon and Sophie Huften. She was looking forward to three great grandchildren who are due within three months. Grandma was very proud that she served in the Navy in WWII from 1944-1946 as a WREN. In spite of her service, she was never recognized as a veteran. She recently celebrated 60 years as a graduate of OSMH and was always actively involved in the nurse's alumni. She was a lifetime member of St. Paul's United Church, and actively involved in the UCW. She was a keen card player, and played with the same bridge group for over 50 years. The friendships she shared with the “bridge girls“ were very dear to her. She was the best mom and grandma that a family could ever dream of having. Our memories will be a comforting part of our lives forever. We'll miss you G-ma! As per mum's wishes, cremation has taken place. The family asks that you join them in “Celebration of her life“ at the Leacock Care Center, 25 Museum Drive, in Orillia from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, June 26th, 2010.

Cora was born in the Township of Ryde in January 31st 1890 and moved to Bracebridge with her parents George & Jane Brooks when she was 5 years old. She attended school in Bracebridge.

April 11th 1912 Muskoka Herald...Brief reference was made in The Herald last week to the marriage on 3rd instant at the home of the bride's parents, Mr and Mrs. Geo. Brooks, of their eldest daughter, Miss Cora, to Mr. Peter McNaughtan, son of Mr and Mrs. Dan McNaughtan, Rev. G. C. Rock, conducting the ceremony. The bride was assisted by Miss Myrtle Gibson and Mr. Neil McNaughtan supported his brother. The groom's gift to the ride was a gold watch and chain, to the bridesmaid a pearl ring and to the groomsman a pearl tie pin. After the ceremony a very tasty supper was served and later Mr. and Mrs. McNaughtan left on the night train for Toronto and Hamilton. They returned Wednesday evening and a reception was held at the home of the groom's parents. The happy young couple, to whom the best is wishes of very many Bracebridge friends will be extended, will make their home on Victoria St. next to Mr. John Carr's. Mr. and Mrs. McNaughton were recipients of many gifts, showing the esteem in which they are held.

For some years they lived on Victoria Street and then moved to the farm home in Muskoka township just below the town on the river. She and Peter had 11 children:- Carman, Ronald, Willard, Mary, James, Donald, Ellen, Ian, Shirley, Peter Jr. Kenneth and Phillip. Ronald drowned in the Muskoka River in May of 1933.

Cora was a kind wife and mother and one of the most popular young women of Bracebridge. Her interests were centered around her family. Cora died in 1940. She had been ill a short time when she suffered a stoke. After resting in bed for some weeks she was almost recovered from the effects of the stroke when she suddenly collapsed on a Thursday evening at her home while talking to her brother in law Neil McNaughton of Parry Sound who was visiting. She was taken at once to Bracebridge Memorial Hospital, but did not recover consciousness. Death came shortly before 8 o'clock Saturday morning. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church with interment to St. Thomas Cemetery, just north of town.
