  • Notes 
    • MRS. RODERICK MCPHERSON
      Mrs. Roderick McPherson, a highly respected pioneer, passed away very peacefully, as she was partaking of her morning meal on September 30, 1930, at the family residence at Lot 15, Con 13 Mara Township. As the call came, she was chatting with her granddaughter, Miss Evelyn McPherson, who has tenderly cared for her grandmother since she has been unable to go about and care for herself. Up to the last, Mrs. McPherson suffered no severe pain. The funeral was held from the family residence on Thursday, October 2, to the Uptergrove Presbyterian church, where the service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. France, assisted by Rev. Mr. MacKersie, of Atherley. There was a very large attendance of neighbors and friends to who Mrs. McPherson endeared herself by her quiet, sterling Christian spirit. She was ever ready to speak a comforting word and extend a helping hand. She was laid to rest in the Atherley Cemetery. The pallbearers being George Hargrave, Dan McInnes, George Speiran, Sam Speiran, Murdock Johnston, Murdock McKenzie. The late Mrs. McPherson is survived by her devoted husband, two sons and two daughters. Mrs. Burt Macomber of Halley, N.Y., Donald of Franklin, Manitoba, Angus, at home and Mrs. Herb Peeler of Neepawa, Manitoba. She was predeceased by a child in infancy, and one daughter, Mrs. George Peeler in 1912. The sympathy of the community goes to the bereaved ones, especially her aged and respected husband. Mrs. McPherson was Margaret McLean, born July 8, 1843, at Uptergrove, daughter of the late Angus McLean (who came from North Uist, Scotland and Rachel McDonald of Beaverton, who were the early pioneer settlers of Mara. Mr. and Mrs. McLean settled on the old McLean farm at Uptergrove (now around by Mr. J. Mahaney's) and for many years afterwards their farm was the home for many of those who came to Canada from Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. McPherson were married in Orillia by the Rev. Dr. Gray, April 26, 1871 and settled at Rathburn, on the Monck Road in 1874. When they bought their homestead they had to clear the place to build their home, chop the timber down and roll the logs back until they had a spot big enough to build on.
