One of the few that fought against Louis Riel and also fought in the Boer War. He is my 2nd great grandfather. I have much more information including a few unknown postcards from Scottish Relatives including a very early photograph of Emma McPherson and baby and turn of the century post card from Cousin Cora McPherson of Scotland to Cousin Cora McPherson of Canada. I know who cousin Cora is in Canada but not who Cora McPherson of Argyll is. Also, don't know who was with Kitty McPherson on the Princess Louise when she sunk with almost all hands on board worst Paddle Wheel disaster in Canadian History. The childs name was Mary McPherson age 5 but I have never been able to connect her other than that she was at the Elson Birthday Party that boarded the death ship on the 24th May 1881.
