We have received confirmation that the sampler stitched by Adela Hyatt and marked “Adela Hyatt,
Sherbrooke 1851” has been accepted in the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) called
“Significant Objects for Telling Identity (SOFTI), English Quebec through 100 objects.” Adela is a
daughter of Loyalist Cornelius Hyatt UE. The 8" x 14" sampler, donated to our Branch by Thelma Hyatt
Middleton, has been well-protected under glass in a large wooden serving tray. A real treasure!
We are busy preparing data on Colonel John Thorne Weyland, who fought in the War 1812 and who took
a musket ball in his right bicep, 06 June 1813 in the Battle of Stoney Creek. We do have many of his
original military records, diaries, sword, and many family pictures, as this gentleman happens to be Milt’s
3 rd -great-grandfather. He is also featured in the book entitled, Strange Fatality – The Battle of Stoney
Creek, 1813, written by James E. Elliott.
The Annual Christmas Meeting, Dinner and Drawing took place Sunday, 16 December at the Little
Schoolhouse, following which the building was buttoned down for the winter.
Please take Note: We still have a few copies of the book, Twasn’t Just Luck, My Life & Times, written by
Lloyd George, available at $35.00, and Lifelines: The Stacey Letters, written by Jane Vansittart, available
through Amazon.com.
