Notes for Emma Carolyn Hazard:
From James Frederick Egan on 5/15/1999

I contacted Hamilton Cemetery several times and they could not clarify the problem. That would take a funeral director to do the job, and there is no record of one. What I did learn however, was that Emma's grave had been moved from another location in the cemetery to the present site. As were one or two others. These were handwritten on the grave information card instead of typed, and they do not know why. It seems improbable that her family would allow her to be moved. In a letter (about 1906) to his son James, Thomas states that he just had a nice stone erected on the grave of James' mother. The stone also lists his second wife with whom he was separated for many years. In his will Thomas forbids her, or any member of her family, to be buried in that plot. So my thinking is that if she were buried there, she is the one who was moved as she and her family lived in the U.S. James also was involved in a legal battle with her over some of Thomas' money so they probably weren't too fascinated by one another. Anyway, those are me thoughts. We may never know any different, but I think she is buried there, and it really isn't that important to pursue any further.

Notes for Edward Egan:
This is the story of the arrival of Mr. Edward Egan from Nenagh, Ireland to Canada, as told to his grandson, John Henry Eydt, on the last Sunday he was in Canada in the fall of 1922 (1921), just before his departure to his home in Chicago, where he passed away sorthly after. (Edward died in Clinton, IL) As we journeyed to Galt, Ontario, from our home in Hamility, so that he could say goodbye to his eldest daughter, Mrs. James Ryerson and her family, he told me the following story.

I left Ireland in the summer of 1846, when I was in my tenth year, in company with a young man, who was a good friend of our family in Ireland, who was going to make his home in Canada. After some weeks of sailing across the Atlantic, we arrived in Montreal, Canada, where we transferred to a boat for Toronto, Ontario. While waiting on the docks at Montreal, my friend took a walk up into Montreal to look around the city. On his return, I asked him if I might also go up and look at the city. I must have taken longer than I should have, for on my return to the dock, the only thing that was left on the dock was my trunk. The boat had come and gone back to Toronto and my friend was on it.

I traded my trunk for a carpet bag and the clothes that I could not get in the carpet bag, I let go with the trunk. [If Edward stated how long before the next boat, I do not remember, but he did get the next boat for Toronto and made it alone.] On my arrive at Toronto, I proceeded up the main street. [which was Yonge Street] with the carpet bag in one hand and a trumpet in the other. The trumpet was to be given to a friend of our family, who lived in Toronto. As I started up Yonge Stree, a newsboy endeavored to take the horn away from me, but after a short fight, [during which my grandfather stated that he had a good hold of the newsboy's ear with his teeth] a man stepped in and stopped the fight. I continued up the street looking for a store with the name of the man to whom I was to deliver the trumpet. In due time, I found the name with the son's name also there. I entered the store and a young man came up and asked what I was wanting. I told him that I was looking for the man whose name was painted on the outside of the store, but he was an older man than you. This man said, "Maybe it is my father, who is at the back of the store." He called his father and when his father saw me he hugged me and we both began to cry. I delivered to him, his trumpet.

I lived with this man for a short time and he took me down to one of the stores and bought me my first pair of boy's pants. Up to this time I had been wearing dresses. Later, on he put me on a train to go to Hamilton. We travelled over wooden rails to Hamiton, which ended the railway line.

In Hamilton, I got a stage coach to go to London, [approximately 90 west of Hamilton] on my way to my Uncle's home who lived a short distance west of London. As I did not have enough money to ride inside the stage coach, the driver allowed me to ride on the seat outside with him. As we were going up the mountain near Ancaster, [about seven miles west of Hamilton] I received a heavy slap over the face. I was slowly freezing. The driver tied a rope around my body and tied me to the back of the stage coach and I walked into Ancas. At the hotel I received a big glass of whiskey. I eventually arrived at my uncle's. This place I should never have gone to.

While in this locality, I served my apprenticeship as a machinest and a few years later took up my residence in Hamiton, Ohio.
