HISTORICAL NOTES ON MEMBERS OF THE DONALD McKECHNIE * MARY McPHEE
FAMILY
CATHERINE (KATE) McKECHNIE (10/23-1857-7/9/1929)
In 1873, when she was 15 years old she went from her home near Priceville,
Ont. To Toronto,
where she worked in domestic service. Two years later in 1875 she went
out to the then small
pioneer city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she served as a lady’s companion
and nurse. About
1888, she came back to Priceville, Ontario and for the next year or
two worked at dress-making in
partnership with her cousin, Maggie Ferguson. She then went to Carllon,
Ontario (near Montreal)
with the Rev. J. L. Gardner family and after a short time went from
there to Chicago. While in
Chicago, was engaged as governess and nurse to Jack Peabody, young
son of the well-known steel
magnate and also served as governess with another wealthy family and
while thus employed traveled
widely with these families, going to their summer homes on Long Island,
N.Y., Jakil Isle. Off the
coast of Georgia, and at Lake Geneva, Wisc. and on other journeys made
by the family. After this
she returned home for a year and in 1897 came west to Dakota with her
mother and sister, Maggie
and brothers, John and Peter, all of whom filed on homesteads at Calio,
N.D. in June of that year.
In November she relinquished her claim when she was married to Duncan
McLean from Paysley,
Ont., whom she had known since girlhood days in Ontario. He was then
a widower with three
children, whom she raised. Living on his farm at Antler, N. C. After
her husband’s death in 1902 she
continued on the farm there for three or four years, after which she
came to Calvin and spent the
remaining years of her life with her brother Neil and family. She returned
to Ontario to spend a
couple of years with her brother, John and family and in 1918 came
to Calvin and spent the
remaining years of her life with her brother, Peter and family till
she passed away in 1928. She was
an active member o the Baptist church. During the later part of her
life she became very hard of
hearing but always took an active interest in those about her and was
especially ardent in maintaining
the ties of friendship with distant relatives and neighbors with whom
she had become aquatinted in
former years. (Incidentally, had the framework of this family tree
been together before her death. Her
keen memory could have supplied much data that is missing.)
Donald (Dan) McKechnie (5/12/1862-4/19/1916)
He had an adventurous and colorful life. He left home when 16 in 1877,
going to Collingwood, Ont.,
where he worked out for a time. He got on a boat with Capt. McPhail
(husband of his mother’s
cousin Barbara McCalman) and came west to Winnipeg, Man. He worked
in and around
Winnipeg and in Minnesota for a few years. He worked on the construction
of the Canadian Pacific
Railway when they extended their line from Winnipeg to Brandon, after
the completion of which he
went out to the Quapelle Valley in Saskatchewan, where he homesteaded.
He was employed as
Forman on a large division of the Bohanza farm owned by Bell, a brother
of the Bell telephone man.
In this capacity it was his duty in harvest time to oversee the operation
of the thirty grain binders
(each drawn by 4 horses) which he did on horse-back.
When the Riel Rebellion broke out in 1885 he was sent on an expeditionary
force as foreman over
twentyfive teams and teamsters, hauling supplies to the fighting forces.
When a family by the name of
McLean was taken prisoner at Duck Lake, Sask. He was sent with 25 teams
to transport arms and
men who defeated the Indians, rescued the prisoners and took them back
to Saskatoon. One night
while seated around an open campfire they were surrounded by Indians
and bullets started piercing
the large kettle of water over the fire. Dan was said to have jumped
up and upset the kettle on the
fire putting it out.
(Riel rebellion, on the Saskatchewan River. This uprising was crushed
by the army,
which was rushed to the scene on the new railway, and Riel was hanged
in 1885.
Copied from Microsoft Encarta-97 {R} )
After the rebellion was put down he made a trip home to Ontario in 1886,
but returned to his
homestead in Saskatchewan, where he farmed in the summer time and put
in the winters as an
engineer in the Quapelle Grist Mills. He returned to Ontario in the
summer of 1891, but received a
call from his brother Neal in Langdon, N. Dak. To come out in the fall
to run a large steam thrashing
engine. He rented land near Landon for a few years, running threshing
engines in the fall of the years.
In 1895 he homesteaded four miles from the present townsite of Calvin.
He worked the farm during
the summers and lived in Langdon through the winters till it was r]
proven up. He was married in
1899 and went into the hardware business in partnership with Isasc
Ulliott and Duncan McLean
(two other pioneer settlers) operating stores in Hannah and Wales.
After a few years sold out his
interest in the hardware business and bought a farm bordering on the
town of Calvin, which he
operated till 1913. Besides farming with large tractor units. Which
was an innovation at that time, he
specialized in the raising of pure-bred Percheron and Belgian horses,
in addition to which he was in
much demand as an auctioneer, calling large farm sales over a large
territory. Spent several winters in
California. Due to failing health caused by pernicious anemia, was forced to sell out in the fall of 1913
and move to Pomona, California where he died in 1916.
He was always deeply interested in civic and public affairs. He served
as representative in the State
Legislature at Bismark for a term, about 1902 to 1904. He was never
a member of any church, but
as a more active proponent of the work and advancement of the churches
of the community than
many a church member. Very active in Lodge work, he was a 32 degree
Mason, a charter member
and first Senior Warden of Corinthian Masonic Lodge in Calvin.
John McKechnie (3/10/1865---)
Was only seven years old when his father died and before he was
fourteen he was doing a man’s
work, working out with neighbors and helping his brothers on his mother’s
farm. He and his brother,
Peter continued to operate the farm till the spring of 1893 when he
sold out his interest and lived on
his own farm he had bought across the road. In 1898 came west with
his mother and two sisters and
brother, Peter and homesteaded at Calio. North Dakota. Farmed for 5
½ years after which he
returned to Ontario to live of his farm there adjoining his old home
at Priceville. Was married in 1904
and has continued farming there since that time.
While in Dakota was a member of the first township board in Seivert,
Twp. When organized and
after returning to Ontario, served as a member of the Township Council
there for a long number of
years in 1893 he attended the Worlds International Fair in Chicago.
He died March 5, 1949.
Neil McKechnie (5/19/62-12/27/1915)
He helped his brothers, John and Peter on their mother’s farm
during his boyhood as well as
working out to assist with the family finances. When about 19 he left
home to work in the lumber
woods of Michigan for one season, going from there to Chicago, where
he learned the blacksmiting
trade in the Tudor Carriage Works. He came to Dakota in August 1891
and for a number of years
was employed as collector and salesman with the John Mahan & Robertson
Lumber Company in
Langdon, N. D. Was there and was employed as assistant cashier in the
First state Bank. In 1904
had gone to Arizona for his wife’s health as she was an invalid with
consumption for several years
before she died in 1906. In caring for his wife, Neil contracted the
malady and was forced to retire
from work, in 1907 moving with his three boys to Redlands for a winter
and then to San Diego,
California in 1915. He was a member of the Maccabee Lodge and active
member of the Baptist
church.
Peter McKechnie (borne 10/14/1869)
He was only three years old when his father died, so that it
was necessary as soon as he was old
enough to help his brothers with the operation of his mother’s farm.
Stayed on the home farm till
1892 at the age of 23 he spent the summer in Chicago, learning the
carpenter’s trade. In the spring of
1893 he bought out the interest of his brothers. Dan, John and Neil
in the home farm and for the
next five years operated it himself, in that time clearing $1000.00
in cash saving which was
considered exceptionally good at the time. Sold out in the spring of
1898 and left for the west with
his mother and two sisters and brother, John, arriving in Dakota on
the 1st day of April that year. All
five members of the family filed on homesteads near the present town-site
of Callio, N.D. in the
month of June. Cando, their nearest town was then 21 miles away. During
the first couple of years he
and John farmed land near the homestead of their brother. Dan, four miles from the present town-site
of Calvin. During his homestead days he made five or six trips some
of the time with his mother, or
Maggie to Antler, N.D. to visit with their sister, Kate (Who had married
and gone there to live).
Driving the 120 miles with a team and buggy or sleigh. One of these
trips is of interest to note.
Peter’s brother-in-law, Dunc McLean had come down to spend Christmas
1900 at Calio, driving
down from Antler with a team and cutter and while he was there the
snow went away, so he had to
leave his sleigh and borrow a buggy to make the return trip. Soon after
that there was another heavy
fall of snow, and Peter and Maggie drove out to Antler with their brother-in-law’s
sleigh the first
part of February, returning after the snow had gone again early in
March with the buggy. However it
took them a week to get home as they ran into a big blizzard and finally
had to stop at Perth, 30 miles
from home where they removed the wheels from the buggy, and buying planks
at a lumber yard
made runners and attached to the buggy axles to continue the trip home.
In June 1903 he was
married to Minnie Reekie, whose home adjoined that of his sister, at
Antler where they were
married and came home in the buggy to Calio. During the homestead days.
Peter worked at
carpentry during the summer months, building many of the pioneer homes
of the community. In 1905
moved to Calvin, where he farmed till the fall of 1909. Where he spent
3 ½ years at the carpentry
trade, contracting construction work and building and selling houses.
After living in the city for this
length of time, decided to go back to farming again and in the spring
of 1913 moved to a ranch near
Paso Robles, California where he resided till the fall of 1917, when
the California ranch was traded
for property in Dakota, and the family moved back to Calvin, where
he built a new house and other
buildings on the farm one mile from the town, where they resided till
1937. At that time he purchased
a smaller track of land adjoining town, built another complete set
of buildings adjacent to town,
where he could keep a few jersey cows, pigs and chickens and rented
the home farm to youngest
son, George, and has since that time resided there. It may be of interest
to note that during the first 3
½ years in California, in the course of buying and trading property,
the family moved six times from
one residence to another, and from the time of leaving Dakota in 1909
to return in 1917, he made
eight trips across the Rockies, coming back in the fall of the years
several times to look after farming
interest in Dakota.
He was the first assessor in Seivert Township when organized, at Calio, N.D. and served three years
as School Board Director. Later served several years as director of School Board at Calvin, and has
been president of the local Federal Land Bank Association for over twenty years. Was very active in
the establishment of the Baptist Church in Calvin during the early years,
and later in Paso Robles,
California. Has always been very fond of traveling, and likes nothing
better than to call on relatives,
no matter how distant, and old Ontario acquaintances now scattered
all over Canada and the U.S.A.
Mary McPhee (9/16/1840 – 1/26/1906)
Mary was the mother of the above and was a remarkable woman. Not quite
nine years old, the
second eldest of six small children, when her mother died, she had
to assume the responsibility of
caring for the rest of her brothers and sisters throughout her childhood.
Never attended a public
school after her mother died except for the one summer that her stem-mother
lived just before she
was married. Yet through her own diligence acquired a liberal education,
becoming well read and a
good writer. Then when her husband, Donald McKechnie died at the age
of 42 she was again left
with the full responsibility of raising her own family of six small
children and providing for their
livelihood, which she did remarkably well, managing on very small means
to keep the farm clear of
dept and the family together till they were able to contribute and
provide for themselves. When she
was fifty-seven years old came with her two daughters, Kate and Maggie
and sons, John and
Peter to the pioneer frontier of Dakota and filed on a homestead and
remained in Dakota till she
passed away in 1906.
Margret (Maggie) McKechnie.
Native of Glenelg Township County, Grey, Ontario, Canada. Daughter
of the late Donald and
Mary McKechnie she was born March second, 1872 at Priceville, Ontario.
She grew to
womanhood on the farm where she was born.
In early life she didn’t travel very extensively not going more than
one hundred miles from home. She
visited many times in Toronto, Canada. Also many times in Collingwood,
Stayner, Erin, Hilsburg, and
many other places within a radius of 100 miles. She lived at the old
home until the spring of 1898
when she came west to North Dakota with the rest of the family. On
the way she and her mother
visited a few days in Toronto and a couple of weeks in Chicago with
her Aunt and other Cousins.
They then came to Langdon, North Dakota and remained there with her
brother Neil and family for
several weeks before she came out on the prairie 32 miles west of Langdon.
On Decoration Day
1898 she and her brothers, John and Peter drove with a team and buggy
to Devils Lake, a
distance of over 50 miles. All three filed on homesteads, which they
had proved up and received
deeds to.
In the fall of 1903 she went back to Ontario and visited there for the
winter coming back to Dakota
in the spring of 1904. In the fall of 1904 she was married to Wm. J.
Henderson and lived on his
homestead adjoining the present townsite of Calvin. The railroad came
in and the town was built up
in the summer of 1905.
In November 1905 she gave birth to a daughter, Mary Henderson. The mother
passed away when
the baby was three days old. The baby was raised by her grandmother
Henderson. Mary
graduated from the Calvin high school and the University of North Dakota

read the Mcphee Newsletter and I would like to share an interesting
story
with you, bearing in mind that I only obtain the basic details!
During the war when Britain was fighting for Gibraltar against the Spanish,
my many greats grandfather had the idea of heating up the cannon balls
and
firing them at the Spanish, therefor winning or keeping the Rock of
Gibraltar
for Britain's imperial rule and being named John Gibraltar
McPhee.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~patwatson/index.htm
My grandmothers name was Mary Jane McPHEE born
