Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report and Transaction No. 24 of the Women's Canadian Historical Society of Toronto, 1923-1924 I went to the Radcliff's and remained for five weeks with them, while your father went up the country with the heavy luggage and the two men, leaving Johnnie Dunn with me to mind the child, which was very ill part of the time. He selected a farm in the County of Oxford close to the village named Ingersoll, after a C01. Ingersoll who had died of cholera two years before. There was a small log house upon it, inhabited by a family named Warrington. Leaving the men and things at the little hotel, with instructions that they were to begin chopping a fallow at once as it was nearly the end of August, he returned back to Toronto, or Little York, to get the deeds and pay for the land: the deeds from Mr. Mc Cutcheon (the Hon. The quantity was eight hundred acres, for which he paid a pound an acre in ready money. He joined me at Jack Radcl'iff's and prepared a comfortable wagon with two Spring seats, the front for himself and your uncle, Rothwell Garnett, the other for the child and myself, and Johnnie Dunn sat behind on the trunks. They made an awning over the whole with coarse linen sh'eets stretched over saplings, and we were very comfortable: getting on to Hamilton that night, and to Ingersoll the next day, finding the road fenced in on either side, and surprisingly good farm houses here and there. The men were in the wood chopping, and as it was not late we left the horses at the hotel, and went to meet them - your uncle carrying the Child. We had to cross the river at a very Shallow ford, and your father carried me across. I was very small and slight then, with wonderfully high spirits and determined, altho' I had opposed coming to Canada, now that I was in it, to make the best of everything, and not Sit down and growl.
