UPDATED 31 DEC 2002
Below
are some of the BMD’s, and miscellaneous Newspaper Items I have come across
while researching my family tree. Some
items were difficult to read, even with a magnifying glass, so I have added a
“( )” or “?” around the letter, word or date that I am unsure of and
have added what I think it looks like. If
you see in brackets (rest was cut off) that just means, that a portion of it was
cut off by accident, when the page was copied.
I have highlighted the families (the ones that I know of), which are
connected to ours by using Bold Type. In brackets
(after the item), is the date the article was placed in the newspaper.
I’ve been working on this quite a bit, so don’t be surprised if you
find some typo’s. Good luck in
your search.

BOY DROWNED TUESDAY AFTERNOON
SEVEN YEAR OLD SON OF MR. AND MRS. DAVID GRAHAM
BODY NOT YET RECOVERED
The seven
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Graham, Drummond street, was drowned in the
Tay river near the Drummond street bridge on Tuesday afternoon last shortly
after 4 o’clock. He in the company
with two other companions, a little Palmer boy, who lives with his mother on
Drummond street, and the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Harvey, Basin street,
were riding on a sleigh down the embankment to the river, and going out too far
on the ice in the river it gave away and the three children fell into the water.
Mrs. Graham saw the children as they went through the ice and rushed down
to the river and caught the Harvey child and held on to him from the edge of the
ice. Her own boy and the Palmer boy
held on to the edge of the ice for a brief period.
Harold Ferguson and Birtch? Jackmann, who were near at the time, were
endeavouring to draw Mrs. Graham back from the edge of the ice when it gave away
and they all went into the water. However,
the succeeded in getting Mrs. Graham and the Harvey boy out of the water with
the assistance of Mr. George Thompson, who was driving by at the time and
removed the lines from the harness and threw them to those struggling in
the water. COLLINGWOOD SMITH rescued
the young Palmer boy from the water, but before assistance could be given the
Graham boy, he lost hold on the ice and sank.
An immediate search of the river for the body was made by men in boats up
till twelve o’clock Tuesday night and again all day Wednesday and Thursday,
but it was of no avail and his body has not yet been recovered.
The river was lowered Thursday to facilitate further search for the boy,
and on Thursday afternoon Mr. T.A. Code sent all his men employees to search for
the boy, but at this season of the year, with ice in the river, it is a very
difficult matter, the current possibly carrying the body some distance.
A net was strung across the river at the last bridge on Craig street
Wednesday. Had it not been for the
efforts of the rescuers the other two children and woman would have gone down.
