This article found in the Red Deer News (Alberta) Aug 19 1925 may be of interest to someone. Wedding bells - Reid-Raffan. Mr H.W. Reid, who came to Red Deer about a year and a half ago and worked for a time with Mr J.E. Eversole before buying a farm at Hillsdown was married in Calgary yesterday to Miss C.M. Raffan, who has just come out from Huntly in Banffshire, Scotland. Mr Reid also is a Banffshire man, but was in New Zealand for some years before coming to Canada. He is also a veteran of the Great War. Kind Regards Marina

The neighbouring parishes of Gartly, Glass and Cabrach were, until 1891, divided between Aberdeenshire and Banffshire, but Huntly, town and parish, has always belonged to Aberdeenshire. Gavin Bell
