| Description : | Typewritten notes in red and black ink on white office paper. In the top proper left corner is the name: "John Banks". A note from one of the Strachan Letterbooks describes the initiating of regular services at St. Peters, which were delayed due to illness of the Reverend and his family. Another note describes the Reverend's report to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in 1828, in which he praised Peter and John Jones for their work with the natives. The last note on the page is written to the researchers themselves and reads: "Check this statement! During the year 1850 no services were recorded at all." The reverse of the paper is letterhead of the Missisquoi & Rouville Insurance Company printed in green ink. |
| Fonctions : | This item is part of a box of original papers, transcripts, research notes, and newspaper clippings compiled and transcribed by Geoffrey and Kathleen Sayers. The notes and transcripts were written on the backs of papers related to Geoffrey's job in Insurance The original St. Peter's Church was built in 1826 and demolished in 1887. St. Peter's Church had many ties with both the Harris and Magrath Families. The Harrises were strong supporters of the Church with Captain James B. Harris (1797-1884) acting as a church warden from 1838-1860. Arthur B. Harris (1843-1932) was on the building committee in 1886 and also served as a church warden and had agreed to assume some of the debt over and above the amount contributed to the Building Fund of the new structure. Reverend James Magrath was the first Rector of the church and his family continued to support it after his death. Many members of the Magrath and Harris families were married at the Church; including Mary (nee Magrath) and Arthur Harris, Annie (nee Harris) and Beverly Sayers and Kathleen (nee Colloton) and Geoffrey Sayers.
