108	In 1888 Alex moved to the district of Lockwood (approx 9 miles north of Canowindra) to develop a property consisting of 320 acres which his father purchased. When Alex purchased the land in his own right, they named the property Belmont. Alex and Jean were highly respected not only by the early pioneer community but they were also strong supporters of the wider community. The Canowindra Pioneer Register Pre-1901 states “Alex was on the committee and helped to finance the building of the Lockwood Hall between the Lockwood School and the Lockwood Post Office appox. 12 kilometers north of Canowindra. He also gave evidence to support the proposed railway from Canowindra to Gregra railway to a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works Inquiry held at Barragan hall in 1915. At the time he said he owned 1,200 acres of land at Lockwood and 631 acres at Barragan.” A well dug by Alex helped to water stock in the district during the drought of 1901-2 and continues to water Belmont to this day. Joyce remembers he used divining rods on several occasions at Bellevue in an endeavoour to find water but was unsuccessful. Alex and Jean’s original dwelling was a mud house, believed to have been in two sections, on a creek bank a kilometer north of the present brick home which was commenced in 1902 and completed in 1905. All the bricks were made on Belmont and their three boys were involved in helping to make the bricks. Alex and Jean maintained their stron Christian faith throughout their lives and worshiped regularly at St. Paul’s Presbyterian chruch, Canowindra. In 1947 Alex and Jean were in their late 80s. Both had health problems and became increasingly dependent on their son Hugh and his wife Clara. There were no health care, home care, or meals on wheels service etc. available for those who were disabled or not sick enough to be in a hospital. After Jean passed away, Alex asked Hugh and Clara if they would consider moving in with him. This meant they would have to sell their convenient three bedroom small home to move to a large two bedroom house. Grandchildren Joyce and Lex were in their early teens then and there was also the other grandchild Jean to consider (who lived with Hugh and Clara too). But there seemed to be no alternative, two additional bedrooms were constructed at either end of the veranda.	McDonald, Alexander (I2342)

In 1907 he moved to Provost, Alberta, Canada and became a farmer.	Leitheiser, Adam (I872)

Previous to then he worked with his parents and brothers at Belmont. Nine years later (1928) they sold Rockleigh and purchased Bellevue (971 acres) two miles south of Canowindra on Cowra Road. Hugh had multiple sclerosis and after he broke his leg in 1944, his son Kelvin was released from service to come back to the farm. Soon after, Hugh and clara vacated their Bellevue home and with their two youngest children, Joyce and Lex, moved to a house they purchased in Canowindra on the corner of Gaskill and Flanagan Streets.

When Jean was five years old, her mother died during childbirth, and so did the baby, named Elizabeth. Doris and the baby Elizabeth were buried together. Albert and daughter Jean then lived with Albert's mother Elizabeth and Uncle John (Henry had already died), until Albert built a one room house in Bridgewater.

131	Life for Elizabeth, the daughter of a Scottish clergyman, must have been mentally and physically exhausting. It’s difficult to imagine how she managed to cope living in various bark huts, preparing meals and coooking on an open fire in all seasons. Then there were young children to clothe and look after. Besides all this she was expected to do whatever farm tasks she was called upon to do. In fact, Elizabeth summed up her life in a letter written home to her family in Scotland as follows: “I had to do my share. I was out in the field on daylight and nonlight carting and forking sheaves on the dray and stack to 10 or 11 o’clock at night and in 3 or 4 weeks had a baby born. I was never a wife I was a perfect slave.” In relation to the children she wrote: “There is not an acre of ground that the family has not worked, girls as well as boyss. He never gave them a penny, only their clothes and their food.” It seems the reason John refused to recompense his children was “He had to work for it and so should they.” The family also discovered letters written by their mother to her family in Scotland in which she described John’s behavior towards her. As these letters were never dispatched it seems likely that they were intercepted by John! After citing a number of unsuccessful attempts to get money from John for herself or for a charity, she indicated that he gave her £5. She wrote “It was the first £5 he ever gave me in my life.” Another story told by the family was about the day John and Elizabether drove to Orange in their sulky to do some shopping. They agreed to meeet at a certain time and place, but when Elizabeth was late, John set off without her, leaving her to walk home! On these weekly excursions John would always buy a large bottle of whisky and visit the bank. As some of his children married late in life (e.g. Alex was 33, Jane 35, Dave 42, and George 43) this gave their father a substantial labor force. In 1889, when Jane was 26, she purchased a photo album and filled it with photographs of family and friends. Studio photos of people in their best attire taken in Sydney, Orange, Bathurst, Melbourne, and Geelong were an indication they liked to travel. it appears that John wasn’t one to dress up even when he could well afford to do so. He rarely appeared in the above mentioned photos! John and Elizabeth’s relationship was in many ways extraordinary. For although they did not appear to like each other very much, they had eight children and a marriage that lasted more than 66 years. When they reached a stage where they were unable to look after themselves at Mountain View, one of the granddaughters (Helen’s daughter Marian) moved in to help look after them. Then when she married Jim McNab, another granddaughter (Jessie Reid, Janes’s daughter) moved in and stayed with them virtually to the end. Elizabeth passed away at age 90. The official cause of death was given as senility and exhaustion. John lived another three years.	Miller, Elizabeth (I2345)

Henry couldn't afford tos end both girls, so Louise came home to attend school in Bridgewater. After her mother Elizabeth died, she went back to Notre Dame in Mitchell for a two year teacher course. After one year though she got scarlett fever and was sent home. The next fall, Louise and her sister Bernadette went to Milwaukee to attend the Milwaukee StateTeacher's College. She graduated in 1927. She taught school in West Bend, Wisconsin for two years. She stayed at a home close to the school and spent the weekends with Uncle Charley's family in Barton. Her Aunt Agnes made a place for her. Then she went back to Bridgewater to teach. She taught at a school north of Bridgewater for three years. Then at the Potter school for two years.

150	Mary Catherine came to America by herself when she was 18 (1843). Mary Catherine was an Irish child who was sent to Germany to be brought up in a good Catholic family, the Kirchers, during the English and Irish religious wars. She grew up as one of the Kircher family. She didn't know that she wasn't a biological daughter until the father died when she was 16. The father divided his property, and he shared with her as one of the family. However, she was so upset about this news that she ran away and worked away from home a couple of years. She then bought a ticket to go to New York in a sailing vessel. Stormy weather blew them way south so that when they reached Americait was in New Orleans and not New York. The ship's company sent her overland to the state of New York. She found a job on a farm that made cheese. Somehow, the two immigrants (Franz and Mary Catherine) met, fell in love, and were married. They lived in Buffalo, NY, where Sophie, Rosa, and Adam were born. Mary Catherine wrote to her foster mother and told her she was marrieda nd living in America. Her mother answered and told her that her brothers had also gone to America and lived in Barton, WI. Franz and Mary Catherine decided to move there too. After Franz died in 1884, she went to live in Scotland, SD where the two older daughters lived. She sold the hotel to Joe Heiberger of Bridgewater and rented her farm to Charley.	Kircher, Mary Catherine (I763)
