Brother to Sophie Home

I checked with Mom (Lorraine) and she told me that Marchmont's father was in the woods working and a tree fell on him. He was lying there under the tree for quite a while and then developed secondary pnemunia and died. I apologize for misleading you by mistake about him being murdered - It was Mom's mother's (Lena White) father(Artmus Randall) that was murdered by some black people. He was in a canoe crossing French Lake by Lakeville Corner while hunting for moose. The black people claimed that they thought he was a moose and shot him. Mom's family think they murdered him because he was going in the direction of where they were headed to hunt moose. You probably have heard this story before. Dad use to tell us alot of stories about Claude Peck--he thought alot of him. He was very good to all of them. Do you ever see Lorne Home? My husband and I were up to visit with him about 6 weeks ago. Dad showed us a couple times where the old homestead was at Green Mountain--he had fond memories of living there. Grammie taught school there too didn't she? Was she a teacher of yours? I will check with Mom regarding old pictures and get back to you on that. I think Dad had some, but I do not know if Mom gave them all to Lorne Home or not. (Note from Colleen Home Mar 31, 2009)
