Notes: Henry Alexander McNaught and Rebecca Dunn Detwiller were married 5 Oct 1881
in the Avonbank Presbyterian Church in Fullarton Twp., Perth, Ontario.
The witnesses for their wedding were James McNaught from Pennsylvania and
Marion Detwiller of Fullerton. $5.00 was paid.
Henry and Rebecca settled in at Deerbank Farm, the McNaught's family farm.
Eight children were born of this marriage. Alberta (Bert) was born in 1882,
followed by Russell in 1884, David Vernon in 1885, Minnie Ethel in 1888, Harry Lorne in
1889, all recorded in the 1891 Canadian census records. James Fergus was
born later in 1891, followed by Ida Beth in 1896, and Sarah Mildred in 1899.
The 1901 census shows the entire family together. Sarah died later in
1901, just short of her second birthday. In 1911, only Alberta, Minnie, James
and Ida were living at home. Alberta was a school teacher, and Minnie and James
were listed as students. A farm hand lived with the family.
In 1912, Mary and Mern Noble,
Rebecca's cousins, along with their mother Agnes, visited
the McNaughts at Deerbank. To the near right is a family group. In February
1922, Henry and Rebecca made a reciprocal trip to Southern California to visit cousins,
including Amy Noble Olson, seen at right.
About 1928, Henry and Rebecca left Deerbank and moved into the nearby town of
Monkton. Henry died 17 Nov 1931 of pernicious anemia. He is buried in
North Logan (Harvey's) Cemetery. Rebecca died 17 Dec 1939, and is buried with
her husband. They were survived by seven of their eight children, 11
grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren. |
