| Commentaires : | Alex Chisholm (former Bergengren employee) shared a photo of his fatherDuncan Chisholm (1892-1947). Duncan was the son of Big Colin Chisholm (1846-1928); both of whom were pipers. In his early years, Duncan worked with Western Union as a lineman installing communication lines throughout Eastern North America. Later in life (1938) he married Mary MacDonald (Finn); they settled on the farm at Marydale and adopted their son Alex. At age 55 Duncan died of a brain tumor Jun 29 1947. Family tradition indicates that Duncan taught Allan J Cameron of Springfield to play the pipes. Neighbours and family recall on warm summer evenings hearing the pipes being played by Duncan Chisholm at his home in Marydale and then young Allan Cameron would respond with a tune from his home at Springfield. |
