29927 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I133053)
 
29928 “at thirty-six he was suddenly crippled by rheumatism of such severity that he never walked again, though he lived until he was nearly sixty.” Douglas(s), William (I189254)
 
29929 “Before we left the Hamilton place, in 1857, my eldest sister, Eliza Jane, was married to Alexander Buchanan, a tall handsome man, but one whom she had not known for very long. We were great friends and I missed her sorely. She was very lonely, leaving her parents, to whom she was devoted, and the home where she and her sisters had such a happy time with their young friends. At St. Giles there were few Protestants, so she was happy when they moved near Quebec at Cap Rouge, a lovely place, and later to a farm on the Little River Road opposite the Hossacks. She was near home again, but with a large family to care for and a dairy to manage she had little time for visiting.
Some time after Mother’s death they moved to the Eastern Townships near Stanstead, where her daughter, Maggie, now Mrs. Louis Schwab, attended the College. From that place they moved out to Michigan, where my dear sister died when only sixty-four. Several of her eight children are still there near Flint. Mary, the eldest daughter, remained in Montreal, living with us in the St. James’ parsonage, and when we moved to Toronto her sisters, Maggie and Aggie, lived with her while attending Normal School, until they secured Model School diplomas and began to teach.” 
Gillespie, Eliza Jane (I189340)
 
29930 “died at the age of 90”. Don’t know where that came from - AD Dawson, William James Gremley (I189586)
 
29931 “Grandmother Keenleyside, whom I can just remember, was a lively and very kindly person. She was also full of fun and a miraculous cook, two qualities that by themselves could almost guarantee a happy family life. For the last few years of her life Grandmother was confined to her bed with a heart condition, but even then she held the domestic reins. She was deeply loved. Father once said quite seriously that if he could not have afforded to travel by train from Vancouver to London when his mother was dying, he would have walked three thousand miles to be with her.” Dawson, Anna Maria (I189523)
 
29932 “Man was wicked. She died young of galloping consumption, children thrown to winds.” Note on photo of husband and wife by Virginia Dawson. Moore, Matilda (I189780)
 
29933 “Uncle Robert, brother of my Father, worked for a time for Mr. Andrews, a lawyer, on the other side of Scott's Bridge, then went to Michigan, married and settled near Gaines. His son Alexander came to visit us, fell in love with my sister Sarah and took her off to Michigan. They had a large family, all now married. The numerous Gillespie clan in Michigan have a reunion every year in August to which they always send me an invitation, but much to my regret I have never been able to accept it.” Gillespie, Alexander (I189382)
 
29934 “Was born in 1870, in the city of Quebec; educated in the common schools of the Province of Quebec, and in the Montreal High School, graduating at the head of the class in that institution. Went to McGill University for four years, graduating as B.A. in 1891, with honours in Mental and Moral Philosophy, and the Prince of Wales Gold Medal . Entered the medical department of McGill University in 1891, where he pursued his studies for three years, taking the Sutherland Gold Medal at the end of the 2nd year for Chemistry. Owing to considerations of health, he left Montreal for Colorado and completed medical course in Denver, afterwards taking a term as House Surgeon at St. Anthony’s Hospital, Denver, and subsequently having settled in active practice in the country town of Rifle, Colorado, where he has been Health Officer and R.E. surgeon for 17 years (since his arrival) and has also been a member of the Town Council several times.”

Walter, the second son, had a still more brilliant record in High School and College, winning manyprizes and honors including the Murray Gold Medal as Dux of the High School, the Prince of Wales Medal in Philosophy and the Sutherland Medal in McGill Medical. He is now practising medicine in Denver, Colorado. (James Henderson, D.D. Salem Goldworth Bland)

LeRossignol Home
Laura Harris came to Rifle with her husband, a physician in ill health, and their son, Leslie. After her husband’s death, she stayed in Rifle and provided meals for Dr. Walter LeRossignol; they fell in love and married. This home, built where the original Maxfield cabin stood, has recently been designated a Rifle Hostoric Landmark and is under restoration. Eugenia perkins’ art work is on display here. Eugenia and her husband own the Gene Hill service station across the street and are working to preserve it. (http://www.rifleco.org/documents/GIS/HISTORICALTO_2.PDF)

201 E. 3rd LeRossignol Home The Walter J. LeRossignol family owned this home on 3rd St. in Rifle as early as 1900. He and his wife Laura (widowed) married in late 1899 or early 1900. Walter was born in Canada, but took pride in his and his father’s French origins. He immigrated to the United States in 1894 and soon became a U. S. citizen.
Walter was a practicing physician and in 1905 owned the building that we have known for several years as the (old) Base Camp Café. According to Rifle Shots, he was the first secretary of Rifle Light, Heat & Power in 1908. This house was built on the Maxfield lot where Abram and Flora Maxfield first had a cabin.
