- 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 ..."
