  • William SKELIEL (spelling according to Agnes Schecal death registry - photo below right)

 

  • Note above right reads with punctuation added, "I have not had a chance to look up Aunt Ella's letter telling me what little she could about Grandma's family but this much I can put in this letter.  My mother's mother (your great grandmother (Agnes Terry) was born in Scotland.  Her mother was a native of Gloengarry and I think grandma's father's name was William Schecal.  I don't know if that spelling is right.  I don't know her mother's maiden name either but her father married against his parents wishes (apparently they had some one else picked out for him).  He was the son of a Baron.  Story goes there was money & a castle in Scotland but he was cut off with a shilling for his disobedience & and banished from the old home.  They were all a proud lot & parents were stern in those day as you know if you remember the picture ..."  [remainder of note not attached].
