• Notes

  From Ancestry - Life of Jean Walsh Harcourt MacLellan Jean Harcourt was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Macklin) Harcourt of Arthur Twp. She was born in Percy, Warkworth, Ont. When her mother left the farm, Jean got the dining room table from the farm and her good bedroom suite, and some chairs. She also had two big sea chests which had come from Ireland. One was in Douglas McLellan's room and one in Jean's closet. Her share of the inheritance was put into the mortgage on the farm Peter MacLellan had and built hen houses with some of it. Her obituary in the Mt. Forest Confederate stated that she was an active worker in the church and a member of Bethel Church since it was built. They farmed the home farm at N 1/2 Lot 14 Con 10 Arthur. In 1884 Peter built a large frame barn, one of the first around to be built on a stone wall. In 1904 he built a brand new house out of cement blocks, thus replacing the log house. A well was then drilled. In October 1925, the barn burned. The next year a steel truss barn was built. Hydro was installed in l941. Jean was a charter member of the Farewell WI. They were faithful members of the Farewell Baptist Church where Peter was a deacon. Peter was the Sec-Treas of SS #7 School at Farewell for many years. They are buried in Mt. Forest cemetery.
