October 11 PARSON WEEMS DAY (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo1.html) As children, many of us were scolded for telling a lie -- even a little white lie. In fact, we were told about the first President of the United States, George Washington, who, as a little boy had chopped down his father’s cherry tree with a hatchet. Little George could not tell a lie, so he told his father what he had done. _George Washington_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo2.html) was to be an example for us all. The truth of the matter is that the story about George and the cherry tree was a lie ... or rather, _a fictitious story_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo1.html) . It seems that _Mason Weems_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo2.html) , who was born on this day in 1759, grew up to become a preacher; an Episcopalian clergyman to be exact. Parson Weems was also a seller of books. Weems would fictionalize history in stories like the one he wrote of George Washington in the book, _Life of Washington_ (http://440.com/twtd/dxlnkgo1.html) . The readers of his books loved the stories and often believed that they were true. The fables got the readers interested in history and Parson Weems had some best sellers on his hands. Some of his tales live on today -- like the story of George and the cherry tree.
Oct 11, 1869 St-Vital Manitoba - Canadian surveyor Adam Clark Webb and his crew try to mark off a long farm field belonging to Metis André Nault, a cousin of Louis Riel; when Nault asks them to leave and they refuse, a group of 16 unarmed Metis led by Riel arrive; Riel places his foot on the surveyor's chain, and tells the crew 'You go no further'. This incident marks the beginning of the Red River Insurrection; Metis and others object to transfer of Rupert's Land to Canadian sovereignty without being consulted, and fear a flood of eastern settlers will destroy their way of life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 11, 1615 Perryville New York - Samuel de Champlain c1570-1635, with a war party of Hurons, is ambushed by the Onondagas. The Hurons get the worst of the fighting after a three hour battle, even though Champlain uses his blunderbuss against the Iroquois. He is wounded and the party withdraw back across Lake Ontario. This is the only known portrait of Champlain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Oct 11, Mary Macleod 1852-1933 Western Canada pioneer, was born Mary Drever on this day at Red River Manitoba in 1852; died in Calgary Apr 15, 1933. At age 17, during the Red River Rebellion, Macleod was able to evade her Metis guards and deliver an important despatch to Colonel Garnet Wolseley. In 1876 she married a man who had been a young soldier on the Red River Expedition - the new Commissioner of the NWMP, James Macleod. She accompanied her husband on many of his inspection tours, and was a signer of Blackfoot Treaty #7 in 1877. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Oct 11, 1776 Ticonderoga, New York - Guy Carleton, Baron Dorchester 1724-1808 inflicts heavy losses on General Benedict Arnold's American fleet at Valcour Island off Crown Point; first naval battle of Lake Champlain a British victory, but it stalls Carleton's plans to invade the rebel colonies from Canada. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 11, 1615 Perryville New York - Samuel de Champlain c1570-1635 ambushed by Onondagas and Senecas near present-day Syracuse; Hurons get worst of fighting after three hour battle; Champlain wounded by an arrow; party withdraw back across Lake Ontario; French use guns against the Iroquois for the first time.
The provincial government has confirmed it will provide half a million dollars in provincial disaster assistance to address the slumping issues at the Battleford Cemetery. Battleford town council received the news from the province at their meeting Monday night. In correspondence from Tamie Folwark, customer service and program director with the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program, it was confirmed that approval has been given to the Town of Battleford to use the estimated $500,000 for “relocating the existing burial sites or towards the other two recommended fix options presented by the engineer.” The cemetery is located near the Highway 16 and Highway 4 interchange in Battleford. The slumping issues at that location have been a concern of civic officials for some time, with worries that up to 80 graves could be affected there. There were two geotechnical engineering reports done on the issue. The first of those reports was from P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd., who, according to Mayor Derek Mahon, was taken on by the Town to do a study on the issues at the cemetery. Mahon said that report was sent in to the Ministry of Government Relations to see what help they could provide. PDAP then sent out a consultant from Golder Associates Ltd. to review the situation, and they came to the same conclusion. According to the correspondence from Folwark, the “conclusion was unanimous that the June 2013 rain event caused the current tension cracks and downslope movement.” “The rain event caused the sliding and movement on the river side of the cemetery, the northwest side,” Mahon told reporters. The funding from PDAP is to “put it back to its original condition,” Mahon said. It would not cover remediation options that did not exist prior to the disaster event. A couple of remediation options had been proposed by P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd., one of which cost $1.37 million and the other $1.48 million, but the PDAP program would not be able to fund those particular amounts, Mahon noted. PDAP could have funded remediation efforts that took place before the event, but not after. Still, the mayor seemed satisfied with the amount of money provided by PDAP and the reasoning that went into it. Mahon said there will be meetings set up to come up with a plan to address the situation with the cemetery. “The difference between what they (PDAP) will fund and what’s proposed for the slope stability is a great deal more money, so I’m thinking at this point in time that we would probably use the $500,000 to address the situation and that would be the dollars that would be spent,” said Mahon to reporters. Families will be consulted as well on the situation at the cemetery and what will happen next. “It’s very important we take a sensitive approach to this,” said Mahon. “ This is something municipalities don’t encounter every day, so I think it’ s going to take us a little bit of time to work through this and we hope the people will work with us as well.”
Thefts at Brockton cemetery called 'lowest of the low' "It's sickening. In Brockton, like many cities, we have an ongoing problem with thefts of metals, copper piping stolen out of vacant homes, things of that sort," Mayor Bill Carpenter said. Union Cemetery is one of Brockton's oldest. Several tombs, including one dating to 1850, were damaged by vandals apparently trying to get brass and bronze. Early Thursday, city workers were busy covering the entrances to five crypts. They don't believe remains were touched. The stolen doors are ornate and valuable. The mayor calls the crime sickening. "But grave and tomb desecration, I don't know if it gets much worse than that," he said. "I think it's ridiculous," said neighbor Richard Rodrigue, who walks his dogs there daily. "To come in here and deliberately destroy somebody's grave and take their brass or the bronze doors off the mausoleum is pretty pathetic." Police called in criminologists from the district attorney's office. They want area metal salvage operators to call police if someone tries to sell the stolen material. "To me, desecrating a grave, tomb, is incomprehensible unacceptable," Carpenter said. "I would like to think that cemeteries are sacred ground unfortunately persons or people who don't respect that." Experts say a crime like this is probably driven by the drug culture. The mayor and neighbors say it's just plain wrong.
Wishing you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you are able to enjoy good weather wherever you are and the company of happy people. Cheers! Doreen

I have been following this thread and it seems to me some information has been misinterpreted, leading you to conclude she was married in England. In fact, it seems to me that she came over alone in 1928 to work and Toronto, but that she rapidly ended up in Montreal. She married a Burton, either in Ontario or in Montreal, and had a child in Montreal. She seems then to have made a trip to England (to visit her mother?) from which she returned in 1933, duly called Mrs Burton and said to be living on Eadie street in Montreal.

Further to recent message from Bertrand - ..........and as Ontario records for marriages are not available after 1928; nothing shows up in Ancestry for a Burton/Pughe marriage and since neither were in Canada for the 1921 Census - there isn't much to work with.

Yes, I forgot to mention it's a good way to find some possible living family members, or old classmates. Seems like just about everyone has a facebook page even if they don't use it much.
