This is a copy of a letter written to Ellen S. Scott by her Uncle Tom Garland. Ellen S. Scott, known to her family as Aunt Nell, was a sister of Matilda (Tillie) Scott Hallowell (Mrs. Peter J.) " North Gower, Ont., Nov. 22, 1912 "My Dear Niece: "In reply to your letter of the 6th, I would say, I am still in the land of the living and happy as if the d - l had me (as the saying goes.) "I haven't been foolish enough to marry yet, but, might sometime or perhaps never. "I am pleased to know you had a good time on your trip last summer and I think you are wise to take a good time, as that is about all we get out of this old world at best. I still sleep in my own house (when I am not traveling) and I take my meals in the hotel here in North Gower. I am not a very tidy housekeeper but there is no person to find fault with me, so I am all right. I think you made a mistake in not coming to Ottawa and vicinity, as we would all have been glad to see you. "Regarding where the Garlands came from, I will give you a short sketch of their history, that I got from my brother John sometime ago, and if it does not tire you, it may perhaps amuse you. "There was a Col. Wm. Garland who was colonel of a company of troopers or cavalry, during the war between the now United States of America and England. He belonged to Gen. Burgoyne's army, that was surrounded in a woods, near Saratoga, N.Y. and taken prisoners by Gen. Gates of the U.S. army. After the war was over Col. Garland went back to England with his General. The next step he took, was to engage with Lord Farnham (as land agent and manager of the Farnham estate) in the Province of Lemster, Ireland. Two sisters went over with him. They lived in dublin and never married. They had private means and were reported wello to do. The Colonel became possessed of quite an estate himself in Wexford Co., Ireland. He had three sons and he was able to settle them all on what they called free hold property. Grandfather (John) was settled in Killkenny Co. and had a good free hold farm and was well to do. "About 1817 the three brothers John, Tom and James started for America. Many of the U. E. Loyalists came to Canada at that time from the U.S. and I think there was a boom here on account of free grants of land, etc. Grandfather (John) came up the St. Lawrence river to between Three Rivers and Berthier, where he remained with his family of fifteen children, eight sons and seven daughters, for sometime (it must have been about a year.) Father (William) was then about ten years old and a French family fancied him, and kept him, after all the rest moved on up to where Ottawa now is built. He stayed there for two years and learned to speak French quite well. Grnadfather was offered the Sparks property (200 acres) for Forty Pounds. One year later Sparks bought it for Sixty Pounds and that is where most of Ottawa is now built. "Tom Garland also came up to the County of Carleton with his family. I remember his wife and some of his family and also himself. "James Garland remained in Newfoundland and connected himself with the fisheries there and his descendants are settled there and in the U.S. Some of them have been over to visit us several times in Goulburn. I remember one of them. He came several times to our house (when I was a boy) and brought us presents of boxes of cigars, etc., but our folks did not fancy them as they smoked pipes and liked them better. "Another one of them got to be Attorney-General of President Cleveland's cabinet etc., and snother was general of the Blackhorse Cavalry of the Southern Army. The building of the Rideau Canal commenced about 1824. Father was then about 19 years old and worked on the canal, where he helped to erect the first store and tavern build in Ottawa, which was built of logs of course. He got along well and got hold of some property on Rideau St. but let it drop out of his hands I suppose, thinking it would never amount to much. "Grandmother's name was Nellie Butler, I remember her well. The Butler family were fine specimens of men, larger even than the Garlands. The Garlands were tall, but not as stout as the Butlers. The Butlers were among the noblemen of their day, and some of them attended court, etc. One of them was a clergyman and preached before the King. The King had promised him a position (through Butler in court) but did not fulfill his promise so Butler took for his text "And The King's chief butler forgot poor Joseph Butler." "This is all I can think of now, but now you can see that Colonel Garland was an Englishman, but, after settling in Ireland and raising his family there we became Irish and were from the counties Wexford and Kilkenny.

From Unknown Newspaper: "Edgewood Farm, Marlboro, February 2--It is with sorrow we chronicle the calling away from amongst us of one of our oldest and most respected citizens, Mr. William Garland, whose name was fimiliar to nearly every one in th county of Carleton, passed peacefully away on the 29th January, 1892, in the 83rd year of his age. He was born in Ireland in 1809, came to Canada with his parents when 11 years old. the family consisted of 16 persons, viz. father, mother, eight sons and six daughters; each of the children upon reaching maturity married. twelve settled in the county of Carleton and two in the county of Lanark, where the scriptural injunction as complied with to multiply and replenish the earth. four of the brothers died between the ages of 82 and 84 years. "Mr. Garland chose farming as his vocation. He first settled on a farm in the township of Goulbourn. Not finding the land what he anticipated he moved to the township of North Gower, then being opened up. He secured a farm upon which he lived until 1883. At that time he and his wife feeling old age coming upon them, resolved that the care and exertion of conducting a farm was too much for them. He disposed of it and procured a house in the villiage of North Gower, to use his own words "within the shadow of the church" where he remained eight years when again the feeling overcame him that the care or even the management of a house was too much for them at their advanced age and decided to board. He found a suitable place on the farm known as "Edgewood Dairy farm" in Marlboro adjoining North Gower, owned by John Mccordick, Esq., whose wife was a favorite niece. The old homestead being built of stone, large and airy and surrounded by beautiful evergreens, they hoped to spend their summer months pleasantly, but in that they have been disappointed. Their stay with Mr. Mccordick was most agreeable, and nearly his last words were in acknowledgment of the kindness he had received. Mr. McCordick in conversation, after his death, said, that in his illness he never heard him make a complaint, that his object seemed to be to give as little trouble as possible. "The funeral was conducted from Edgewood Farm on sunday and was tehlargest seen in that locality for a long time upwards of 60 teams formed the cortege. The sad procession was led by rev. robt. Atkinson incumbent, North Gower, to the old stone built church in that village, in the shadow of which he lived for so many ears. During the half mile before reaching the church theold bell tolled forth the solemn warning that a member of this earthly habitation had been called to his heavenly home. Rev. Mr. Atkinson conducted a most impressive service. the choir sang with organ accompaniment several hymns suitable to the occasion. Rev. Mr. Atkinson, under whose charge he has been for some time, preached a most impressive sermon. His words of comfort to the sorrowing friends were such as to give hope for a glorious resurrection. His prayers for the bereaved widow, who had lost one who had been a partner for about three-score years, caused the eyes of strong men to become bedimmed with tears. Service over the peocession re-formed and wneded its solemn way to the old churchyard at Wellinfton in which stands the little white church surrounded by hundreds of white marble monuments each one telling its own story. It may be remarked that the Wellington cemetery or churchyard, as it is called, is strikingly beautiful, sloping back to the west from the high road, displaying its solemn contents to the passers-by, while close on the eastern side flows the Rideau river in its silent meanderings, serene in its peacefulness fearing, as it were, to disturb the quiet dead. "In a grave near the summit they laid him and the Rev. Mr. Atkinson, who travelled these long miles over bad roads, was at this post to perform the last rites of the church, which he did most solemnly, while around the grave for the time it took to offer up his solemn offering of hopeful words every head remained uncovered and silent awe prevailed."
