Hi Richard, I sent you the following newspaper clipping (date unknown). "KILLED BY TRAIN - James D Campbell of Duluth is struck by train east of Haas Park - Here Visiting Friends - Started to walk from Houghton to Isle Royale Mill location and hit by Night Passenger Train. James D Campbell, a prominent Duluth resident, who arrived in Houghton yesterday morning to visit his brother Hugh J Campbell of the Isle Royale Mill location was struck by a train, evidently the night passenger train out of here, at about 10:30 last evening and instantly killed. His body was discovered lying beside the track just east of Haas park, East Houghton, at 5:30 this morning, upon the arrival of the early morning train from Nestoria where connection is made from eastern and western points. Marshal Louis Voetsch was notified and he in turn notified Coroner Casper Brand. A jury was empanelled and at 10 o'clock this morning a special train consisting of engine and flat car was run down to the lower yards, carrying the jury and officers down and returning with the body. The man's derby hat, or what was left of it, was found lying about four hundred feet west of where the body was discovered, and there were evidences in the snow that the body had been dragged that distance. An examination of the body showed the head to be nearly split in two, and it is believed the man was struck by the snowplow on the head of the engine pulling the night train out of here. Mr Campbell is about 49 years of age, came to Houghton yesterday, as stated above, and last evening he and his brother, Hugh Campbell of the Isle Royale Mill location came to Houghton. After being together awhile Hugh Campbell went to the barber shop, with the understanding he would meet his aged brother at the National bank corner at 10 o'clock. When Mr Campbell went there his brother was not to be seen, so believing he had started to walk home, Hugh Campbell took the 10:25 train for home leaving it at Pilgrim. It was evidently this train that killed his brother. When he reached his home, Mr Campbell discovered his brother had not arrived and immediately returned to Houghton, remaining here until about midnight. Early this morning he was notified of the finding of his brother's body beside South Shore tracks, just east of town. The deceased is survived by his wife and four children, three sons and one daughter, all of whom reside in Duluth. After viewing the remains, the jury comprised of Messrs Theodore Steller, Joseph Slock, Peter Ruelle, Jr, E W Smith, Patrick Golden and John Wallace adjourned until 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, when it will meet in the office of Coroner Brand to examine witnesses and arrive at a verdict as to the cause of death. The deceased wore a fur lined overcoat and derby hat at the time he was killed, the collar of the coat being turned up. The presumption is that tiring of waiting for his brother, he started to walk to the Isle Royale Junction taking the tack. At the point where he was struck there was a curve and in all probability the train was upon him before he knew it. Footprints would seem to indicate he had stepped from the track but not far enough. When found Mr Campbell was found lying face upward, covered with blood, the body by this time having been frozen solid." You can see a copy of his death certificate at the following website.

Houghton is quite a distance from Escanaba and Spalding so there isn't a likely connection. My son has hiked Isle Royale with his dad, uncle and cousins a few times. They usually leave from Houghton. Was the Isle Royale Mill on Isle Royale then? My son said he didn't know anything about a mill...but that would have been a long time ago. Carolyn

Hi Ken: The text doesn't say. It just says they wrote back and gave details about the voyage. The only likely reference I see is "My Grandmother" (Jessie McPheeDonald) by John Stuart Fleming. Carolyn

Carolyn, Is there any description in the book of what ship the McPhees sailed on in 1852 from Greenock, where it sailed to, and who else (other than the McPhees) was on that sailing? Ken Harrison North Vancouver, Canada -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carolyn Harmon Sent: June 12, 2010 11:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] departures Hi listers: Somebody wrote about a family leaving Islay in the 1850's. I have a copy of "Not A Ship..Not a Man: The Record of Capt. John McNab" by John McKay. I needed to get it out to check the dates and names again. The story begins when Robert McNab tried to leave Islay with his family and the McPhee's among others in 1850. The overloaded boat was blown back to Port Ellen and wrecked. He mentions the McPhee's sailed from Greenock two years later, with the McNab's following in 1856. Robert McNab was Capt. John McNab's father. They settled in Sullivan twp, Grey County. There is more information about Robert's children- born in Islay and Ontario. Of course, the main focus is Capt. John's experience on the Great Lakes. I thought Capt. John McNab and my John McNabb were cousins (born 1843 and 1842) since there was a Robert McNabb born in 1810 to the same parents as my John's father, John, born 1809. I still haven't figured out if this is the correct Robert. My John supposedly left Islay to visit his cousin on the Great Lakes and he also spent many years as a ship engineer. Capt John lived in Owen Sound and my John was in Collingwood in 1871. I really had to do some digging to track down this book/booklet a few years ago. I was able to get it from John McKay's widow, who was pretty old at the time. I do believe they wouldn't have a problem with me sharing the booklet- but it's about 50 pages long!

Hi Marilyn I would suggest that your McPhedrains are probably a colloquial misspelling /variation of MacPhaiden which is noted in Blacks surnames of Scotland in various forms i.e. MacFadyen, McFayden, MacFadin MacFadzean, MacPhaidein, MacPhaidin, son of Paidean, or little Pat, and so = Patonson. They were said, according to 'Blacks', to have been the first possessors of Lochbuie and when they were expelled, they became a race of wandering artificers, Sliochd nan or-cheard - the race of goldsmiths on Mull.

Thank you very much for all the great suggestions. Just to let everyone know, I do not know of any connection I have to this family. My interest was peaked when I came across the grave of Allan Smith brn Islay. I tend to look for that on gravestones. Joshua Norrish's early history of Nassagaweya Halton Ont, gives an interesting account of the Smith family from Islay, but very little is said about the other families I came across. My trip yesterday to Ebenezer cemetery was interesting, I noticed Allan's Smith stone was right beside, almost a part of one of the McPhederians. A number of stones for both families were grouped on a hill. In the second cemetery, further down the road, I came across a John Morrison, Native of Islay, and other names in the cemetery are McCaigs, McEwens and McLartys, I have taken some photos, however, some stones were very worn. Roger, I will send pictures and also the pg from the book....what email address. Marilyn
