     He was born on 30 June 1854 at Newcastle, Canada West, United Province of Canada, family bible.4,5,10,8,11,7 Alternatively, he may have been born on 15 June 1855 at Canada West, United Province of Canada, in the 1901 census, the date could be June 18. Handwriting is open to interpretation. Year of birth is overwritten, so 1855 is based upon age at time of enumeration = 46.

     The following article appeared in the Bowmanville, Ontario The Canadian Statesman, 1 January 1931 :
MR. AND MRS. THOMAS MOFFAT
     50 YEARS WED
     Honored by Relatives on Golden Wedding Day
     Standing high in the esteem of did fellow citizens and enjoying the friendship of all their neighbors and host of acquaintances, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Moffat, Beaver Rd., reached on Monday, Dec. 15th, the fiftieth milestone of their matrimonial life. In anticipation of the event they had made their plan: to observe the day in a suitable but quiet way and to this end had invited a few of their nearest relatives to have tea and spend the evening with them. For this was the day of days, the golden jubilee of that day when the minister united two loving hearts in the holy bonds of matrimony and set the seal of the church upon the union The bride and groom so happy then, had lived to see the fulfillment of their hopes and the best wishes of all the wedding guests. Happiness had grown and ripened and mellowed with the years and time had given it a depth and fulness and richness that only those who have lived together as man and wife for fifty- years, in undivided affection, true devotion and sympathetic understanding, can fully comprehend.
     In celebration of their wedding day therefore, 6 o'clock found Mr. and Mrs. Moffat as host and hostess, assisted by their estimable granddaughters, Misses Helen and Marjorie Lycett, sitting at the tea table, entertaining a group of their nearest kith and kin who live within easy driving distance.
     This little group consisted of their son-in-law, daughter and granddaughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Walkey and Miss Jessie Walkey, Newtonville; Mrs. Moffat's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Gray; her sister; Mrs. J. J. Lord, Bowmanville, and their sister-in-law, Mrs. David Moffat. Orono.
     And now just after tea to the principals of this gathering came a real surprise and something they had not planned for. Other guests, more relatives in the family circle, began to arrive and swelled the number participating in the event to about twenty-rive. "And they brought gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh," to quote the Bible. These gifts were symbolical. In this instance the guests brought the gold, and if not exactly the other two, other things symbolical of gladness, goodwill and fond regard.
     Miss Jessie Walkey explained the presence of the larger circle of friends in the following address read by her to her bewildered grandparents.
     "We, your friends have gathered together to celebrate with you and to offer our loving congratulations on this your golden wedding day and to express our heart-felt desire that many more years of life may be granted to you. Years like past, golden in the turest (sic) sense of the word, years crowned with our Heavenly Father's loving kindness and tender mercy. Trials and difficulties there have been, but always there was the upholding of His hand, and ever stood the promise, 'Fear not, I am with you.'
     "We your family, rejoice in what you have been to each other, in sunshine and shadow, unselfish, thoughtful and sympathetic.
     "As parents, you have been tender and devoted, watchful, kind and considering no sacrifice too great if thereby you could better minister to those intrusted (sic) to your charge. You instructed us by precept and example and truly your loved ones shall 'Rise up and call you blessed.'
     "Your friendship has been no common quality of friendship, which not only embraced the ordinary opportunity but went out of its way to be kind, sacrificing for others, yet feeling it no sacrifice and continuing so through the years. What a joy, that friendship like this with Christ as its centre, does not end with this mortal life but is perfected in the Heavenly home. As a small token of our esteem for you, we ask you to accept these simple gifts and we hope you will live to enjoy them."
               Signed by
                    Your friends.
     Misses Helen and Marjorie Lycett then presented their grandparents with a large bouquet of golden hued roses and 'mums, surpassing in freshness end loveliness anything envisioned by old Midas; also a cabinet of silverware, knives, forks and spoons, for had not the honored couple now doubled the distance to their silver wedding mark. Other gifts were: first, a linen table cloth bordered in gold, which was laid upon a table then a set of serviettes, with gold borders and finally a 97 piece dinner set with floral designs in gold and yellow.
     From the fullness of their hearts Mr. and Mrs. Moffatt thanked the donors and when the applause had ceased there followed a period of music and speechmaking. Mr. Will Moffat, Mr. Robert Moffat, Mr. David Moffat and Mr. Neil Yellowlees expressed their tboughts and feelings in congratulatory speeches while Mr. Yellowlees, Mdiss Helen Yellowlees and Miss Betty Pingle, Bowmanville, contributed musical numbers. A number of congratulatory letters, telegrams from distant relatives were also received and read. Rev. W. P. Rogers of the United Church with Mrs. Rogers, was present and made the concluding speech.
     Refreshments were served and a pleasant evening with its retrospects and reminiscences closed with the singing of Auld Lang Syne.
     Thos. Moffat and Johanna Gray were married on Dec. 15, 1880, by Rev. Leslie, Presbyterian minister, at the home of the bride's father, the late Geo. Gray, Newcastle. Until eighteen years ago when they moved into Newcastle, they farmed in Clarke township in the neighborhood of Newtonville.
     Their three daughters married in turn, the eldest, Ethel, to Mr. Louis Atkinson, now deceased (sic); the second, Mabel, to Mr. Alf. C. Lycett, now of Oshawa (sic), and the youngest, Maggie, to Mr. Robt. Walkey, Newtonville.. Mrs. Lycett died some years ago leaving her two daughters, Helen and Marjorie, who have since made their home with their grandparents here and been company and comfort to them in their declining years. Marjorie, the younger, takes an active part in school, Sunday School and Mission Band activities. Helen sings in the choir, is a C.G.I.T. girl and interests herself in all young people's work. She distinguished herself at the Newcastle high school by winning the Thos. Montague scholarship, the Samuel Wilmot gold medal and the W. H. Anderson matriculation prize in her two year matriculation course. She was also chosen to give the valedictory address at the recent H. S. Commencement.
     Mr. and Mrs. Moffat's eldest daughter lives in Merid, Sask. Her two daughters, Mary and Jessie, and two sons, Roy and Arthur, are already making their mark in that great prairie province.
     Miss Mary and Jessie visited their grandparents and other relatives here two years ago last summer.
     Mrs. Walkey, Newtonville, with her husband and daughter Jessie, took a leading part in her parents golden wedding celebration.
     Besides Mrs. Moffat's brother, Mr. Robt. Gray, and her sister, Mrs. Lord, Bowmanville, who were present, she has one sister, Mrs. Melrose, in Milverton.
     Both Mr. and Mrs. Moffat were formerly members and staunch supporters of the Presbyterian Church, first at Newtonville and then in Newcastle. They espoused the cause of church union and on the consummation (sic) of union which they helped to achieve locally, transferred their membership and interest to the United Church. Mr. Moffat has been an elder since the union, is a member of the finance committee and takes an ardent interest in every phase of the church work. During his whole life he has concerned himself with the welfare of others and taken an advanced stand on all moral and social issues. He has taken a very active and helpful part in many a temperance and prohibition fight. He is at present president of the Newcastle branch of the Canadian Bible Society, vice president of the Newcastle Horticultural Society and vice-chairman of the Board of Education.
     Mrs. Moffat is a valued member of the W.M.S. and the W.A. of the United Church and holds a link with the past by retaining her interest in the Newtonville Women's Institute. Their friends are legion and they all join in wishing them many more years of wedded bliss.18

     In the obituary of Janet Riddell who died 10 January 1932, his brother, Thomas Moffat was listed as a survivor.22 He was the informant on the death registration of Husband, Joanna C. Gray.29,30,31
     In the obituary of Joanna Gray Moffat who died 7 October 1933, her husband of 52 years, Thomas Moffat was listed as a survivor.31

Moffat, retired farmer, church elder, President of the Newcastle Bible Society, and all round good citizen was the scene of a happy family gathering on Monday evening, June 30th, when about 50 relatives gathered to felicitate him on the attainment of his 87th birthday. Of special importance was that fact that two of his brothers Mr. Roger Moffat and Mr. Alfred Moffat, were here from Frobisher, Sask., also a nephew, Rev. Alex. Moffat, recently ordained United Church minister, of Frobisher, Sask. Other present were: Mr. and Mrs. W. F.

Mr. Moffat's granddaughters, Miss Helen Lycett, teacher on Oshawa Public School staff, and Miss Marjorie Lycett, Newcastle, who make their home with him, made ideal hostesses.

     He was born on 8 March 1899 at Lutsk, Volhynia, Russia (modern Ukraine)G.4,2,5,6 Alternatively, he may have been born circa 1901 at Russia according to the passenger manifests of the Lusitania.7,8 Karl married Martha Fritzke on 5 January 1921 at Canada.4,1,5,9
     Karl Schmuland died on 1 July 1989 at Grace Hospital, Windsor, Essex County, Ontario, Canada, at age 90.2,3
     The following selected information is extracted from the obituary of Karl Schmuland.
Survivor(s): Martha Fritzke, Terry Summach and Lydia Stebner.6

     Karl Schmuland was buried on 4 July 1989 at Victoria Memorial Gardens, Windsor, Essex County, Ontario, Canada.2,3
     He was found on a passenger list for the Cunard liner, Lusitania with his mother Rosalie dated 30 December 1911. They were travelling with a large number of other Russian passengers that also arrived in Hull, England from LaHavre.8 Karl Schmuland was found on a passenger list for the Lusitania with his mother Rosalija dated 5 January 1912. They had sailed from Liverpool on Dec. 30, 1911.7 Karl Schmuland immigrated after 5 January 1912 to Canada from Russia.5
     Charlie and Martha Schmuland appeared on the 1921 Canadian Census of RM of Stanley No. 215, Saskatchewan, enumerated 1 June 1921. Charlie was described as a farmer and a Baptist. They were both of German heritage.5
     See the footnotes below for a link to his obituary that appeared in the bi-monthly publication the Baptist Herald published in Galena, Kansas, January 1990.6
     The following information is from my personal research, January 2018:
In "The Germans from Volhynia and Russian Poland" the University of Alberta provides the following quote:
"Virtually all German Baptist communities that had been established in the 1850s in Poland emigrated to Volhynia (by 1914 Volhynia would have between 40,000 and 50,000 Baptists, served by about a dozen churches.)"

This may help to explain the confusing references to Russia, Poland and Ukraine in various sources for the Schmuland family.10
