61 He died in the infamous Drummond Mines explosion at the age of 29 years, 10 months, and 13 days.This explosion killed approximately 60 men: the force of the explosion was so great that the wooden rollers were torn from the track on the slope (of the mine shaft) and hurled out of the slope, falling hundreds of yards away in the nearby woods on the surface. The fire raged for 36 hours with flames shooting upward of 40 feet (see, for example, http://www.parl.ns.ca/westvillehistory/highlightscoallegacy.asp).

Daniel Chisholm
 
69 Got a conflicting story from my Uncle John and my mother Ruth about Colin:
John says he died in WW I (fell off of a train in England due to being drunk), and my mom says he died in 1933.
Mom says she got this off of a tombstone in the graveyard (the Catholic one in Yarmouth I presume); John says Colin's name is on the list of veterans killed in WW I on the monument in town. -Colin Paul Chisholm, August 2000.

John Chisholm
 
85 has more information about him and his parents and children in the master source with abbreviation "MANU-CHISHOLM-John (b.1807-d.1890) Family Notes" / title "Manuscript about Family of John Chisholm b.1807-d.1890".
 
John Chisholm
 
86 John Chisholm emigrated from Scotland in 1812 as a very young boy with his parents. John Chisholm
 
87 The cause of death was drowning. He was aged 8 years 17 days at the time of his death. John Chisholm
 
88 This is a gaelic nickname: "Seoc" (pronouned "Shock") is a derivative of Jack or Jacques, common nicknames for someone named John; "Buidhe" (pronounced "Boo-Yah") is Gaelic for yellow, and is a common nickname for someone with blonde hair. However, there is also an area in Strathglass called Buidhe, and there were some folks from Buidhe who settled in Antigonish. So it is possible that this is a geographic
nickname. 
John Chisholm

Margaret Chisholm
 
96 never married Margaret Chisholm
 
97 Note that the source says "Briley Brook" which is most very likely a transcription error that should indicate Brierly Brook (which is a real place near Beaver Meadow, while there is no known place Briley Brook according to the Nova Scotia official atlas!
