1910 - McDermid Farmhouse and Bell Farm Cottage # 4
L-R: View of the new two-storey McDermid / McDermaid brick farmhouse (built c.1906); centre: the old Bell Farm Cottage # 4 (built 1882-83); two smaller buildings, including possibly the barn associated with the Cottage.
The McDermid Farm was located about one mile northeast of the main Bell Farmhouse. Malcolm McDermid, a blacksmith, married Sarah Berge on Jan. 1, 1896 and moved into the Bell Farm Cottage. Later they bought Sec. 1, Twp. 19, Rge. 13, w2m from Major Bell or, more likely, from the Trustees who sold off the Bell Farm after Major Bell left in 1896.
After the brick house was constructed, the old Bell Farm cottage was converted into a garage.
The McDermids had five children: Hugh, George, Janet, Margaret and Donald. Malcolm died in 1933 and Sarah in 1952.
