Here is Agnes! Thanks to Anne, I now have the correct face attached to the correct name. She married Elkanah South and settled in Powassan, Parry Sound District of Ontario. I drove right past the homestead last summer, without even knowing it. I now know that both she and Elkanah (Alfred) are resting in the Union cemetery there, as are other Souths. It must have been a difficult life…just saying, given that they traveled those hills in carts drawn by oxen. If you have driven that piece of highway, you know what I’m talking about.
If any of my readers come from the South family of this part of Canada, I’d love to hear from you.

Hello. I am not related to the South Family but I live in Powassan and I am very involved with local history. If I do come across anything of interest I will keep you in mind.
Here is a mention of a South on this web page of mine.

It was so kind of you to write, Jamie. I think when several of us are working on this research from all different angles, we can gradually put the puzzle together, piece by piece. I am thrilled to have a connection of someone from the area and certainly will hope to connect with you when I drive east, perhaps this autumn. Blessings on your work!
