been Sam's father. [AB]
5. (Second hand from a friend.) The University of Edinborough has
restored a property connected with the Buchanans. The Buchanan Priory?

teaching in PEI and NS at that time. [CSB])
9. Sam was the captain of the Empress out of Montague from 1901 to around
1904. Another captain took his place about 1904 so Sam could attend his
daughter's wedding. (Mary Ethel.) [DC]

Sam sold his property to Sadie for $1 on June 2nd, 1924. Document here. Sadie sold the property to Hilda October 10th,

island. [NM]
5. Sadie lied about her age and ended up having trouble getting social
security benefits because she was too young. [MM]
6. While visiting Sadie, Dino decided to make Daquiris. They looked for a
bag to crush the ice in and found one. Sadie said hers tasted funny but
had more than one. Afterwards they looked in the glasses and found tiny
rusted wires at the bottom. The wires were from the floor polisher heads
that the bag was used to hold. Luckily the wires had settled to the
bottom. [NM]
1. I visited the Buchanans in New Westminster in 1956-57 and I still have
photpgraphs of Jack, Edna, Mary, Wallace and his wife to prove it. [IWS]
2. I first saw Jack Buchanan in, I think, 1936 when he came over to
Europe for, I suspect, the dedication of the Canadian Army Memorial at
Vimy Ridge. I understand that he served as a Lieutenant in the Royal
Canadian Artillery (a Heavy Siege Battery?) in WWI and during his leaves
he visited father's home in Liverpool. He was physically rather like my
father and some of his mannerisms were hauntingly familiar, but I do not
think the two got on very well. Jack told me Dad had promised to get him
a good cabin on one of the CPR boats when he visited the UK but the
promise was not fulfilled. Sounds quite likely! [IWS]
3. Jack's middle name is listed in the census as Samuel but [MM] claims
it was Stuart.
4. John inherited his house in New Westminster from his sister Mary. Mary
was the first wife of John Hockin. House was at 425 Ash St, New
Westminster. Prior to that John had lived in Burnaby, BC. That was when
he taught math. [MM]
5. John had a stern upbringing. Was in the army. Very Scottish? Never had
a wallet, no papers or identification of any kind. [MM]
6. John always thought he was a year younger than he was. Took the date
from a bible? A census showed him to be a year older? [MM]
7. Jack had a relative who was born in Scotland who would visit at
Christmas etc. Mary thinks it waw Iain Stewart? [MM] (Verified - was Ian
Stuart [CSB].)
8. Jack was the head of the BC liquor commission. He married twice. [NM]
9. Jack had the following Stuarts in his address book: [MM]
Ian Stuart
59 Antrim Mansions
Homestead, England
