Moffat, Walter
1821-1899
Walter R. Moffat and Agnes Graeme were married in Scotland and came to Antioch and Newcastle in what would become Ontario by ship on their honeymoon. They settled on a farm near Newtonville, Ontario. For their voyage they had two large wooden boxes (called KYST) to hold their possessions. Janet Hume had one of them in Carlyle (see picture with Cara-Lee Moffat at age 3 standing beside it.) Janet also had a gray plaid (14 feet long by 40 inches wide) that Agnes and her daughter Janet spun the yarn for, and had a weaver make it up.

Janet Hume had a ring that belonged to Isabel and a broach and earring that belonged to her Aunt Janet.

Janet gave the Kyst, ring, broach, earring and other aticles to Rick Moffat when she broke up her household and moved to the senior's lodge in Carlyle, Sask. Pat Allen nee Moffat now has this plaid, as well as a rocking chair that belonged to Alfred and Myrtle Moffat.

According to Grant Moffat of Oakville, Ontario, Agnes Graeme had blue eyes and was a tall woman. She died at the age of 83 years. Walter Moffat also had blue eyes and was of average height. He died at the age of 78 years. His death registration indicates that he died of progressive muscular atrophy after an illness of one year.29

Death Removes Much Esteemed Thornbury Lady
Endearing herself to all by her cheerful and lovable disposition equally matched by a character of sterling worth, citizens of the Beaver Valley were saddened in heart when they heard of the sudden passing on Monday evening of Mrs. William F. Johnston, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. Sparling. She was in her 79th year and her whole lifetime practically had been spent in this district. Her husband, who, in the early days of Thornbury, was a grain buyer, and latterly, a coal and wood dealer, died on August 22nd last.

Mrs. Johnston, before her marriage 52 years ago last Christmas, to her late husband, was Miss Susie White, second eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. B. White of Collingwood. To this union were born two girls and three boys, one son, Clarence, having predeceased his parents; surviving are: Frank at Port Credit, Mrs. Geo. Stewart of Powassan, Mrs. Harry Sparling, of Thornbury and Fred of Benito, Man. The last named was home here a few years ago, but will be unable to be at the funeral of his mother which takes place this afternoon at the Union Cemetery, Thornbury.

The funeral will be in charge of Rev. H. Howey of Grace United Church, at which services she was a most faithful attendant when health permitted. Beautiful floral tokens to be seen spoke in a mute manner of the esteem in which her memory was held.17

         It becomes our painful duty this week to record the demise of Mrs. John Johnston of Kolapore, after an illness of only a few days. She was the daughter of the late T. B. White, whose sudden death a few years ago startled the whole community and filled it with regret.
         Mrs. John Johnston was a woman of bright and cheerful disposition, tireless energy and complete forgetfulness of self when the sick were to be nursed or a friend needed her assistance. Many a sick room in the vicinity of her home will in the future ,miss her presence and ministering care. By her genial disposition she endeared herself to all who had the privilege of her acquaintance. Having had a great deal of sickness in her own family, it is no doubt greatly due to her own tireless nursing that she has been able, so far, to have kept the family circle complete.
         There survive her, her mother, Mrs. T. B White of Collingwood, three sisters-Miss Myrtle White of Collingwood, Mrs. Wm. Johnston of Thornbury, and Mrs. Clifford Sine of Cobden;also five brothers-Messrs. T. B. White of Kolapore, George P. White of Idaho, Jas. L. White of Duncan, E. F. White of Cincinnati, Ohio, Robert H. White of Napinka, Man. and Bert White of Rochester, N.Y. She leaves, besides her sorrowing husband, 5 children,-Misses Sophia, Ethel, Mabel and Rhoda and Master Rob.
         To the bereaved ones, we, in common with the whole community, extend our most sincere sympathy.. Hereinafter cited as Thornbury Herald and Grey Report.
