Family stories have told me this quilt was made in Ontario by my great gramma and her daughters.<br />
Great Gramma was Katharina Cochrane, wife of James Cochrane daughter of Wilhelm Hieronymus and Margaretha Dengel she was born 1850 Waterloo, Ontario<br />
<br />
Her children were<br />
Margaret b) 1871<br />
Mary b) 1873 (my grandmother)<br />
John b) 1876<br />
William b) 1878<br />
Robert b) 1880<br />
Janet b) 1882<br />
Jean b) 1884<br />
Catharine b) 1886<br />
Agnes b) 1888<br />
Elizabeth b) 1890<br />
Anne b) 1892<br />
<br />

as that is the date that is embroidered on it, however after a closer look I found a <u><strong>1906</strong> </u>that was covered by some tatting work. <em>WHY?</em><br />

<strong><u>J(backwords) C F</u></strong> - I believe this to mean the person was deceased which would be my grandfather, James Cooper Forrest, husband of Mary, who died in 1914.I'm thinking my grandmother Mary Cochrane Forrest made this block.<br />

I've come to the conclusion this quilt was made about 1914-1923, probably over the winters gramma took the children east. The quilt was given to Catharine Cochrane Smith after the death of Katharina and Aunt Kate brought it west and added the pink frilly edging. In 2010 I inherited when the last daughter, Lois, of Aunt Kate's passed and I restored the backing and removed the pink frills.<br />

After their marriage Katharina moved in with James, his sister Mary and his parents John and Margaret Cochrane on Lot 8 NBR Hay Twp Huron County. This is where she would remain until her death.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the 26th of December 1871, the day after Christmas their first child, a daughter Margaret was born. Shortly after the birth of their first child James's mother Margaret had a stroke and was paralyzed, Kathaina would then become her care giver. About 2 years later on 23 October 1873, their second daughter Mary was born, she would become my grandmother.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
James and Katharina's first son, John, was born 10 May 1876. years later on 16 June 1878 another son William was born and on 26 April 1880 a third son Robert was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By the time of the Census on 4 April 1881, James was head of the household age 44. Living with his wife Katharina, daughters Margaret and Mary, his 3 sons, John, William and Robert, his parents John and Margaret, his sister Mary and a niece Martha Hood, who was his sister Margaret's daughter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In August 1881 James sailed to Scotland on a horse buying trip and left Katharina to care for his aging father, his bed ridden mother and 5 small children. After returning from his buying trip the family grew with a daughter Janet born 27 August 1882. On 16 September 1883 Katharina's mother in law passed away after 11 years of being bedridden.. Telephones and electricity were coming to the area and on 23 August 1884 a fourth daughter Jean was born. Next came Catharine a fifth daughter on 28 June 1886. On 6 May 1888 Katharina's mother Margaretha Hieronymus passed away at the age of 64 due to consumption of the lungs. 13 days later on 19th May 1888 a sixth daughter Agnes was born. Just over 2 years later on 27 July 1890 a seventh daughter Elizabeth was born and finally the last and 11th child Anne was born 11 October 1892.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Katharina and James has a busy but fulfilling life on the farm. They were able to sent their eldest daughter Margaret to Art school in New York which would have been a rare happening for the eldest daughter of a family of 11 to be able to do this.</div>

left and also I was out on parade today again & I am afraid I will need

CMR was the 42 men born in Japan in its ranks. By the early part of 1916, there
was a shortage of volunteers for the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and the
solutions included conscription and removal of impediments to enlisting what
had earlier been considered undesirable nationalities. The appearance of not
only Japanese, but also eastern Europeans born in countries on the Allied side,
in the nominal rolls marked a decided change in recruiting policy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

a Farrier Sergeant, Grandpa was required to look after the regiment horses,

</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Horses
played a major role , when war began in 1914 the British army possessed a
mere <a href="http://www.history.co.uk/study-topics/history-of-war-animals/equidae-family"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">25,000 horses</span></a>.
The War Office was given the urgent task of sourcing half a million more to go
into battle. They were essential to pull heavy guns, to transport weapons and
supplies, to carry the wounded and dying to hospital and to mount cavalry
charges. A Farrier Sergeant would be in charge of them and help train them up.
From Shorncliffe they were transported to the port and hoisted onto ships
crossing the Channel before being initiated into the front line either as
beasts of burden or as cavalry horses. The supply of horses needed to be
constantly replenished and the main source was the United States, with the
British government arranging for half a million horses to be transported across
the Atlantic in horse convoys. Around 1,000 horses were sent from the United
States by ship every day. They were a constant target for German naval attack,
with some lost en route. The horses were so vital to the continuation of the
war effort that German saboteurs also attempted to poison them before they
embarked on the journey.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

artillery and machine gun fire, and to harsh winter conditions in the front
line, that the <a href="http://www.history.co.uk/study-topics/history-of-war-animals/equidae-family"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">losses were
high</span></a>. The loss of horses greatly exceeds the loss of human life in

soldiers are the spirits of Canadian troops that rest in St. Margaret’s
Churchyard in the town. 208 Canadian soldiers are buried there, most of them
victims of the influenza epidemic that was rampant in Europe and North America
in early 1919. Four of the graves are different: they are the graves of
soldiers that were killed when the Canadian soldiers in the Kinmel Park Army
camp mutinied in 1919.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">For the17,400 troops at Kinmel
Park, conditions were far from ideal. The days were filled with exercises that
they thought meaningless, medical examinations, route marches and military
discipline and training. For them the war was over and they didn’t see the
need. They were anxious to return to Canada, not just to their families, but
they also realized that the first soldiers home would have the pick of the
available jobs, and no one wanted to come home from the war and be unemployed.
At Kinmel Park, there was the military bureaucracy to overcome. Troops awaiting
transport had to fill in some 30 different forms with approximately 360
questions. The food they were fed was bad; it had been compared to “pigswill”.
At night, the troops had access to “Tin Town” a nearby group of shops and pubs
that had inflated their prices to take advantage of the, comparatively, well
paid Canadian soldier. After a month of these rates, many soldiers were broke.
At Kinmel, probably because it was supposed to be a short term camp, the men
did not receive regular pay,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Although warmer than most
Canadian winters, the winter of 1918-1919 was also one of the coldest that the
locals could remember. With the camp situated right on the coast, the men were
exposed to the constant, harsh wind that came in off the sea. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In late February it became common
knowledge that a number of large ships had been reallocated to the American
troops, who hadn’t been overseas for as long as the Canadians. As a last straw,
at the beginning of March, General Sir Arthur Currie made a decision to
transport the 3<sup>rd</sup> Infantry as a whole back to Canada, instead of the
troops waiting at Kinmel Park, who were originally scheduled for these ships.
There was no question that these were combat troops who deserved to return
quickly, but they hadn’t been overseas as long as many of the men stationed at
Kinmel Park</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">On 4 and 5 March 1919, <b>Kinmel
Park</b> experienced two days of <b>riots</b> in the <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It was reported: "The
mutineers were our own men, stuck in the mud of North Wales, waiting
impatiently to get back to Canada – four months after the end of the war. The
15,000 Canadian troops that concentrated at Kinmel didn't know about the
strikes that held up the fuelling ships and which had caused food shortages.
The men were on half rations, there was no coal for the stove in the cold grey
huts, and they hadn't been paid for over a month. Forty-two had slept in a hut
meant for thirty, so they each took turns sleeping on the floor, with one
blanket each."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“This resulted in five men being
killed and 23 being wounded. Seventy eight men were arrested, of whom 25 were
convicted of mutiny and given sentences varying from 90 days' detention to ten
years' penal servitude."<o:p></o:p></span><br />

this isn’t the kind of letter I would like to be writing but I guess it can’t
be helped. At least we know Dad didn’t suffer and that he was able to get
around right to the last. Lorna and Ernest told me that the night he collapsed
he had been to a ballgame and then went to the church to play bridge but when
the first cards were on the table he said his hand was too cold to pick them up
and then he had a pain in his shoulder then he fell across the table so the
people sent for Lorna to come for him. Ernest went and when he got there dad
was unconscious so he sent for an ambulance and took him to the hospital where
he passed away the next morning without regaining consciousness. The funeral was
Sat from Jones Funeral Parlars to Rosedale Cemetery. Dad had left a wish not to
take him east to be buried and anyway there just wasn’t enough left to pay <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">for the trip and none of us have the
ready cash to do it on our own. In fact there is so little left that the lawer
doesn’t want to probate a will here. He suggested that if we can to just carry out
the spirit of the will without probation if we can get the bond out of the bank
as it is only for $50.00 and the is only $4.00 showing in Dad’s bank book &
if we have to probate the will to get that much we might as well forget the
bond, then all there is left is his life insurance which is approx $500.00 and
with funeral expenses around $250.00 then there is the Dr. ambulance and some
money to go to the dentist. And as you know conditions of the will are that all
expenses be paid before what is left be divided equally among the 5 of us. So
as you can see it is going to be close call to stretch far enough to go around.

they come in I have gone to the lawer and had a paper made up to give Ernest
full power to act with out me so now it is all in his hands as would like to
get things straightened out as soon as possible and it would take a long time
if every time I had to go to Edmonton and then come back here before anything
could be done about them. I hope you will understand what I am trying to
explain and will agree. I think Lorna is send you some flowers and the ribbon
off the family wreath. We got it that way because the sprays were so small and
expensive. We got a casket spray for $15.00 from the family. Ernest and I have
each put in $5.00 and we have had no answer yet of any kind from either Ethel
or Frank. Then there was a pillow from the grandchildren and your two boys were
included. The pillow cost $8.00 and each of Ernest’s children that are working
are paying $1.00 and if you care <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are paying the balance which will be $4.00. Well folks I hope I have things
straight and that you understand. Now if there is anything of Dads that you
know of that you would like to have a keepsake will you write Lorna and tell
her. Ernest will be writing to you as soon as he has time but he has a lot of
paper work to do for a day or two. Well I think that is all for this time as I
have a lot to do yet as I leave for Edmonton in the morning and it is now 11:30
PM so I’;; close for now and hope to hear from you soon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1858 at least 30 000 gold seekers flooded the banks of the Fraser River from Hope to just north of Lillooet in British Columbia's first significant Gold Rush. Although short in duration, the Fraser Rush had a significant impact on the area's Native people. It also caused the nonsovereign territory of Britain known as New Caledonia to be quickly established as the colony of British Columbia in order to deal with the massive influx of foreign miners. <br />
<br />
On the 16th of December 1859 James's brother John married Agnes Blair and after the wedding the couple along with James left Hillsgreen Ontario to join the trek west when that part of North America was being opened up. They set sail from Goderich and followed the winds around South America up the west coast to what is now Vancouver Island in southern British Columbia. John and Agnes Cochrane started their family on the island, but that is another story.<br />
There James purchased cattle and drove them overland along the Caribou Trail to feed prospectors during the great gold rush.. By the 14th January 1861 when the census was taken he had returned to the Hills Green are and is found living in Stanley Township with his parents.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James Cooper
Forrest was born 16<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> November 1872 on Lot 9 Concession 7 of Stanley
Township in Huron County, Ontario, Canada. He was the 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> child and
3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> son of James Forrest and Agnes Thom. He also was the only child
to be given two names, James after his father and grandfather and Cooper was
his father’s mother’s maiden name.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James Cooper lived
just north of Stanley School #7, where he would walk to school with his
siblings until he reached an age that he was needed at home on the farm. The
1881 census shows James, age 9 attending school and living with his father
James age 66, his<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>mother Agnes age 45,
his oldest brother George, age 17, had already left school to farm along side
his father. James other siblings were Janet age 15, Barbara age 13, John age
11, Robert age 7, Alex age 5 and Mary age 3. Also living with the family was
James’ 77 year old widowed grandmother Janet Love, mother of Agnes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James’ sister Mary
Ann died the 4<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> of December that year of Namitha, a spinal disease.
This is <span style="color: #333333;">a condition that leads to the death of the
nerves that control skeletal muscles, causing muscle weakness, paralysis, and
ultimately death, usually by age two. It was the most common genetic cause of
infant mortality. Mary Ann </span>and was buried in Bayfield Cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">By the census
taken 25 April 1891 all the children are still living at home. Their father
James was now 76 years old and the older boys George 27, John 21, James 15,
Robert 17 and Alexander 15 were looking after the farm, all are listed as
farmers. Another brother William had been born in November 1882 and was only 8
years old. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James Cooper’s
father passed away on 21 January 1899 of natural causes at the age of 84 and
was buried along side his infant daughter in Bayfield Cemetery. Upon his
father’s death James inherited 1/9 of his father’s estate. James Cooper’s
brother George was already married and living in British Columbia, his brother
John was married and farming in Hay Township just south of the Forrest
Farm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who was to take over the farm?
James was the eldest son living at home but apparently his wish was to take up
carpentry as his livelihood and later adventure west for new experiences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">On the 1901 census
taken 31 March Robert was listed as head of the house and James Cooper age 25 was
a carpenter. The family consisted of Robert, Janet, Barbara, James, William and
their widowed mother Agnes age 65<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">That spring James
headed west to make a better life for himself, he worked his way, stopping in
Manitoba for a short while. In his bible is written <em>Jas C Forrest, Dauphin, Man</em>, which makes me think it was Dauphin he stopped in. Arriving in Saskatchewan he is listed in the 1903 Buffalo Lake District as a tax payer. He purchased land
just south of Marquis, Sk. On the 28<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> of April 1902 he purchased SW
30-18-27-W2 from Angus McLeod, who had homesteaded the land in 1888. On this
land were a 16’X20’ house and a 16’X26’ stable. A mortgage of $1000.00 at 8% interest
was obtained from The North of Scotland Canadian Mortage Co Ltd. Osler, Hammond
& Naton General Managers<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James needed help
with the financing for his ideas of farming, raising horses and starting a
threshing business on the prairies, he turned to friends and on December 14<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
1903 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>borrowed $300 from George Kennard
of Oak Bay, Victoria, British Columbia. Later on March 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> 1904 James
borrowed $100 from John Turner of Seaforth, endorsed by brother Robert Forrest.
John Turner was to later purchase the Forrest farm from Robert and as of today,
2012, the Turner family still own the land. James Cooper followed in his
fathers footsteps and raised and bred horses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Winter arrived and
James headed east apparently to find himself a bride, it’s assumed him already knew
Mary Cochrane as she just lived south of the Forrest farm, and that maybe she
was waiting for his return. Whatever the case they were married March 16<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></sup>1904 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in Hay Township, Huron County, Ontario. James
Cooper Forrest of Moose Jaw, North West Territories, age 32, son of James
Forrest and Agnes Love married Mary Cochrane of Hills Green, age 30, daughter
of James Cochrane and Catharine Hieronymous. On the marriage register James’
mother is listed as Agnes Love, she was actually born Agnes Thom and raised by
her mother and step father Robert Love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Things were
starting to look good for the Forrest family. They fit well into the farming
communities of Tuxford and Marquis. They purchased their lumber from Albert E.
Piggott, agent for the Monarch Lumber Company in the village of Marquis, they
had their meat butchered at the Butcher shop in Marquis owned by George
Brazier, harness supplies were purchased from John Calver of Tuxford. Coal for
heat was purchased from the Saskatchewan Western Elevator. Horse
feed was bought from the Muma Brothers of Marquis. Veterinary,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>J.J.McDermott of 43 River Street West in
Moose Jaw tended to animals on the farm. Rope and general hardware were purchased at the Stinson Brother General

Arthur was hired to build an addition onto the farm house.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">On the 11 July 1911
James found himself in need of more land to raise his livestock and took out a grazing
permit on N ½ 29-18-27-W2 at a cost of $12.80 per year. Now having the needed
land he then, in 1912 November 20<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th,</span></sup> purchased a three year old colt
from E.E.Cudmore for $94. Again on April 10<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, 1913 James purchased
4 grade Holstein cows, # 66, #32, #59, and #24 for the cost of $375.00 from
the Saskatchewan Creamery Co Ltd. These cows were purchased with no money being
received by the Creamery. James agreed to ship all the cream or milk produced,
outside of what he needed for his own use, to the factory in Moose Jaw. It was
agreed that they would keep 50% of the proceeds to apply on the balance until
paid in full. With the grazing land not keeping up to the need of his livestock
in 1913 James purchased eighty bushels of feed wheat from Thomas Ernest Bayley,
a local farmer, at 40 cents a bushel for a cost of $32.00<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">William Henry
Brown worked for James on his threshing crew earning $30 in the fall of 1913.
William’s son Elwin would later married Anne Forrest, although James never
lived to see that happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">On November 8<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>,
1913 needing to expand his various farming businesses borrowed $882 from Joshua
Dennison of Seaforth, Ontario and hired Matthew Weatherall to work for him the
winter of 1913-1914 for 5 months for a wage of $10 per month.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James was a wise
business man and over the years he saved and purchased 5 shares in the Home
Bank Stock at $100 per share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">James had taken a
train car of horses from Marquis to Expanse, while in the Expanse area he
stayed with his cousin Alec Love, it was here that James suddenly took ill with
a appendicitis attack. The local Dr Thomas Walsh was called to attend to him
but was unable to perform the surgery needed so Dr George P. Bawden was called
out from Moose Jaw. He performed an appendectomy on the kitchen table in the
home Alec and Annanbella Love. James lived through the surgery and was nursed
by Mrs R. Duckworth of Rodgers Sask. for three days at a charge of two dollars
a day. James did not recover and died Thursday the 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> of March, a
result of his ruptured appendices.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Gramma arrived to see her 16’ X 20’ 2 story frame house and 16’ X 26’ stable. Homemade furniture would make it her home. It was now spring so there was lots of work to get done. Gramma got started in chickens by hatching hen’s eggs under a duck. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

Harvest was a busy time and Gramma prepared numerous meals for many hungry men on the threshing team. These meals were prepared over wood stoves and no refrigerators. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">In 1911 the telephone arrived but no electricity, although a windmill generated all the electricity needed to run the farm.

He came through the operation but died 5 hours later. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">So less than 10 years on the prairies she found herself alone with 2 small children to raise and a farm to tend to.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Grandpa died intestate, nothing could be done with the land until the youngest child reached the age of 21 another 16 years. An auction was held and all her husband’s possessions were auctioned off, as well as all livestock. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After proceeds from the auction, money owed, from custom threshing and sale of grain was collected, the estate was finalized 24 June 1917 at a value of $10,410.25. Her husband’s brother, Alex Forrest, was declared executor of the estate and Gramma had to deal with him for every need. The land was rented out until the estate could be settled. It was not until 1929 that women gained official legal status.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

She made sure the children spent time with their father’s family while in Ontario as they lived near her parents. They returned to the farm every spring. In summer Gramma’s family would occasionally come west from Ontario, they all missed her and the children. A picnic at Buffalo Pound Lake some 15 miles away or just a game of tug-a-war on the farm with family would make for a pleasant day.</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-no-proof: yes;"><v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"> </v:shapetype></span><br />

Transformation processes were heating, hammering and tempering (mainly with water). <br />
<br />
In blacksmithing, the smith heats metal to an extremely high temperature, then hammers and shapes it on a work surface to achieve the desired form. The craft is incredibly physically demanding, dirty and hot. For generations, the craft of blacksmithing was learned through an apprenticeship with a mentor.<br />
<br />
Tools of the trade were;<br />
Anvil, which allowed the blacksmith to hammer hot iron into the required shape<br />
Vise, used to hold pieces of metal<br />
Tongs, used to move the hot metal<br />
Water trough; when the metal was done being molded it would be moved to the water trough to cool.<br />
Forge: was the source of heat, blacksmiths usually worked with hot coals and embers.Tom and Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14136225545988643432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483733073516091735.post-36872828731168664952011-12-16T09:14:00.000-08:002011-12-16T09:20:22.029-08:00Wilson Family - Armagh Ireland to Maybole Scotland<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Wilson Family</span></strong></div><strong>As far as I know the Wilson family consisted of William, Jane and 7 children</strong><br />

By 1871 he was working as a farm servant for Robert Wallace family in Auchmillan.<br />
<br />
William later moved to Sorn to work in the mines and met Janet Crawford and on the 11th of April 1873 at Dalgain in Sorn Parish after banns according to the form of the Church of Scotland William Piper and Janet Crawford were married. William of Common Auchinleck, was a 21 year old bachelor working at the mine as a Pithead Runner. Janet of Dalgain Sorn was a 19 year old spinster working as a farm servant. Janet was the daughter of John and Martha Crawford<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">William started his mining career in Sorn, Ayrshire, which is situated in a pleasant rural setting nestled between the hills, the village is comparatively unchanged over the last 200 years. It was originally called Dalgain after the Squire of Dalgain, a local noble – but the name Sorn was slowly adopted because of the nearby Sorn castle which dates from the 14th Century.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Shortly after 1871 he began working at the Sorn Mine and held various positions over the years. Up to 1889 he was a Pit Headman, the man in charge of the unloading of the cages and weighing of the coal at the pit head. In 1889 he is listed as a Pit Bottomer, a person who loads and unloads cages at the bottom of the shaft. By 1891 he held the position of Pit Roadman, a person responsible for the making and maintenance of haulage roads and by 1911 he back to being a Bottomer, wasn't this the worst job in the mine and did he get this because his health was failing and this was all he was capable of doing, or was it because the Glen Logan mine closed in 1888 and he had to look for work at another mine, taken any position available.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Underground miners faced great danger, although explosion risks were reduced with the invention of the Davy lamp which meant a miner could have light underground without the exposed flame of a candle, still one spark from a pick axe could lignite the already harmful gas. The weight of the ground above was great and only held up with wooden beams called props. Miners worked long hours and sometimes an all night shift. It's reported that in 1861 a miner received 3 shillings a day and from these sums about 3 pence a day would be deducted for light and sharpening tools. By 1912 they were receiving about 6 shillings a day. The daily lunch would have to be light meal as walking in a crouch all day often caused heartburn if the stomach was full. So no fried foods, usually just water and bread.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
On 20 January 1914 William would write a letter to his son Archibald in Canada. It was the last letter grandpa had from his father.<br />

The Minister's Return<br />
On Sunday 22nd March the Minister at the conclusion of a suitable sermon said:.......<br />
<br />
"The third person for whom we grieve was not so prominent, but well known in the village and the Church, viz. Mr. William Piper. Mr. Piper had a long connection with Sorn Church, and I attended his father at Auchmillan during his illnesses. I was glad to be back to see him before his death. He was a quiet man, highly respected.<br />

Archibald Piper was born at 11:20 am on the 14th of February 1887 in Sorn, Ayrshire, Scotland. <br />
Sorn is a small village in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It is situated on the River Ayr.<br />
He was the seventh of nine children born to William Piper, a Pitheadman at the mine, and his wife Janet Crawford<br />

<br />
<br />
Archie attended school in Sorn Public School and in the 1901 census he is listed as a 14 year old apprentice blacksmith for his Uncle Archibald Piper at Craighill, Mauchline, near Sorn. A trade he would continue with for many years.<br />
<br />
On the 14th May 1908 he enlisted as a soldier of the Ayrshire Yeomanry to serve in the Territorial Force of the County of Ayr and was discharged, after serving his 2 year commitment, on 13th May 1910. <br />
Archie had decided that staying in Sorn meant working in the coal mine as his father and brother William were doing. This was not what he wanted to do the rest of his life so a ticket to Canada was purchased with his earnings.<br />
John Piper, a brother to Archie, had left Sorn, in 1894 for Battle Creek, Nebraska, later moving to Aberdeen N. Dakota in the USA. In 1909 John and family moved to Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada and in 1911 moved to the homestead by Bow Island. This being perhaps the reason for Archie to choose Lethbridge, Alberta as his destination as he and John Duncan boarded the “S.S. Ionian” on the 19th of March 1910 at Glasgow Scotland. They sailed to Halifax, Nova Scotia arriving on the 29th. On the census, 1 June 1911, Archie is a blacksmith in Blairmore and eventually ended up in Pincher Creek. It's believed Archie, being a Blacksmith by trade, worked for Edward Blackburn on their ranch in the Pincher Creek area. It was in Pincher Creek that he would meet Eliza E. Clayton. <br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">On the 1st of February 1915 in Pincher Creek, Alberta, Archibald enlisted and became a Farrier Sergeant for the 13th C.M.R's Canadian Expeditionary Force .</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
He was 32 years old, 5ft 5inches tall with a dark complexion and brown eyes and hair. He had a mole on his left breast and a vaccination scar on his left arm.<br />
<br />
A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof trimming and shoeing. In ordinary cases, it is important to trim each hoof so it retains its proper orientation to the ground. If the animal has a heavy work load, works on abrasive footing, needs additional traction, or has pathological changes in the hoof, then shoes may be required.<br />
Additional tasks for the farrier include dealing with injured or diseased hooves. Horses with certain diseases or injuries may need remedial procedures for their hooves, or need special shoes.<br />

Archie did his training at the Sarcee Camp in Calgary, Alberta.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As Archie had enlisted and was in Calgary training Eliza and her 10 month old baby journeyed back to England so they could be nearer to Archie when he arrived overseas. Eliza and Ellen stayed with Eliza's sister Maria Perrin and her family in Ilford, Essex where their son William Archibald Piper was born 18th June 1916. He was always referred to as Archie Jr. Eliza got to meet the Piper family in Sorn and little Ellen was adored by her grandmother Piper and Aunt Janet, Archie’s mother and spinster sister. This attachment lasted years as many a card and letter were written to “Little Ellen” after she returned to Canada. . <br />

Archie arrived in England with the troops aboard the S.S.Olympic on the 6th July 1916. <br />
After the war Archie boarded the "S.S.Regina" on the 22nd of March 1919 arriving in Halifax Nova Scotia on the 30th. The train would take him the rest of the way back to his wife and children in Medicine Hat, Alberta.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was in the spring of 1919 Archibald heard of two Blacksmith businesses for sale in Saskatchewan so he headed east to check on them. The first stop was at Tuxford and the second stop was supposed to be at Cupar. However he liked Tuxford and the people so this is where he settled and set up his Blacksmith business. <br />
<br />
A third child was born in Tuxford; <a href="http://talltalesfromthetrees.blogspot.com/">Frederick James Piper was born 22nd May 1920.</a><br />

Archie took on the position of Overseer and that of Mayor over the next 40 years. It was in 1929 that he gave up smithing and started selling Massey-Harris farm implements and Imperial Oil. <br />

Archie was an avid curler; here is a quote from the Moose Jaw Times Herald 1950s which tells it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Archie Piper, the well known radio speaker from Tuxford was in the midst of a ding-dong battle with the Bad Harry rink of Regina, skipped by Gillis. Archie was just a curling fool and made anything he shot. On the last end Gillis lay shot and Archie had to make a very delicate raise to lay shot and win the game.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;"></span></em><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em></em><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Before Archie threw his last rock he turned to Gillis and said “Weel it was a quid battle and it’s too bad ye hae to lose a game like this” To which Gillis replied “You haven’t thrown your last rock yet”</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em></em><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">“Dinna you worry aboot that” shot back Piper “it’s just too bad ye hae to lose after the good battle you put up”</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em></em><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">The Tuxford Scot then steeped up and made his six inch raise perfectly to lay shot and win the game. Other members of the rink said Piper was inspired by the spirits of his ancestors and he just couldn’t lose</span></em>. </div>
