Residence*

1860

St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; This is one of two houses owned by William Neilson. It is now owned and managed by a religious order of Brothers. It is located just northwest of the St. Gabriel Church.
This is information about the house and what became of it, written by a religious brother (Mariste Frere) originally written in French. English translation is:
The William Neilson House:
This house that you are living in presently was built in 1860. It belonged to William Neilson born in Canada in 1804. He was originally Irish and married a Margaret Casson, also Irish descent in 1851. The Neilson couple had 9 children whose age varied 21 to 2 years.
William was Presbyterian and Margaret Catholic. Without a doubt for the good family understanding they alternated in the choice of religion for the children. The first baptized in the Catholic Church; the second in the Presbyterian and the following also.
The 10^th of August 1888, William at 84 years made his will. He left to his second wife, Elizabeth Mac’ Adams, $30,000.00, a part of lot 131 and his house. To his children he left a total of $12,986.00 and some parcels of territory. Mr. William Neilson died the 7^th of July 1895. His second wife died the 10^th January 1911.
The house then passed to Cornelius, beloved son of William. He in turn sold it the same year, the lot 131 and the house to his brother (or nephew) Norman R. Neilson.
In 1924, Norman Neilson sold to Constance Neilson Fairchild the lot 131 and the house, for $3,000.00.
Three years later, in 1927, John Hebert Price bought the lot 131 and the house that belonged to William Neilson, also other neighboring properties. He built the Manoir situated on the higher ground in the years 1929-1930. He is bettering the place also in planting between others 20 elms of a large size at $1,000.00 per tree. He also built a chalet (possibly a summer residence) situated near the river.
Around 1933 or 34, The Donacona Company bought the majority of the places of Price Brothers and put up for sale this rich property valued at $400,000.00.
Celestin Simard, a merchant of Quebec, bought this domain in a liquidation sale for $15,000.00 in 1941and sold it the same year November 4^th to Joseph Bastien. He in his turn gave it and the furniture to Valcartier 26^th of the same month.
The 26^th of January 1945, the Freres (Brothers) Maristes bought the property.
This House now carries the name of Villa St. Leon in Honor of one of the first brothers who lived there in 1945.
Frere Gabriel Bolduc, 04-06 -90
Majela Murphy tells me that they dug the earth from around the perimeter of the trees in the fall let it freeze and during the winter hauled them from the grounds which had been expropriated for the Valcartier camp to the site of the Neilson grounds for planting.

The tenth day of August in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty eight, before us, Cyprien Labrèque and Pierre Édouard Émile Bélanger, Notaries Public for the Province of Quebec, personally came and appeared William Neilson of the Parish of St. Gabriel of Valcartier, in the County of Quebec, Esquire, Yeoman, who being in good bodily health and sound of mind and understanding as to us appeared by his manner and conversation, declared unto us the said Notaries that he desired to make his last will and testament which he hath requested us, the said Notaries, in the presence of the said Pierre Édouard Émile Bélanger, our confrère, have taken down as dictated to us by the said William Neilson word for word and as follows, namely:

The said Testator doth recommend his soul unto Almighty God and direct that his body be committed to the earth with decent and Christian burial at the discretion of his Executors hereinafter named and secondly as to the worldly estate with which it has pleased God to bless him, the said Testator doth give and devise, direct and dispose in respect thereof as follows, that is to say:

The said Testator doth hereby give and bequeath to his beloved wife Elizabeth MacAdams, the sum of twenty three thousand dollars of lawful money of Canada to be paid and raised out of his property and estate freely, to be possessed and enjoyed by her en pleine & entière propriété, from the day of his decease and for ever & also all and every sum or amount of money, that my said wife may or might have deposited at any bank or banks at Quebec or elsewhere in her name, which said sum or sums shall be her own & entire property, on the express condition that the said Elizabeth MacAdams, his said wife shall renounce to the communauté de biens that now exist between his said wife and himself, there being no marriage contract between them; and if she does not renounce to the said communauté, then & in that case the said Testator doth hereby order and direct that the said sum of twenty three thousand dollars and the said sums herein about mentioned which shall or might be deposited in her name at any bank or elsewhere hereby bequeathed to her, shall and will belong and revert to his children, male and female, issued of his marriage with the late Margaret Cassin, his first wife deceased, share and share alike from the day of his decease for ever.

The said Testator doth hereby also give and bequeath to his said wife Elizabeth MacAdams a part of the land one hundred and thirty one of the cadastral plan of the Parish of St. Gabriel of Valcartier, County of Quebec, in the Third Concession North East of the River Jacques Cartier, containing two acres in superficies, bounded as follows: on the North East and North West by the said lot one hundred and thirty one occupied by Mrs. K. Temple Fairchild, and on the South East and South West by the lot one hundred and thirty two occupied by Charles Stuart Wolff with the buildings thereon erected, circumstances and dependencies, together with the household furniture, goods, moveable effects, instruments of agriculture, horses, cows, sheep, and poultry, and all and every thing appertaining and belonging to the said Testator by her freely to be possessed and enjoyed en pleine et entière propriété from the day of his decease and forever.

The said testator declares that he has sold to Robert Ross, that certain lot or parcel of land, situated and being at the place called Belvedere in the Banlieu of the said City of Quebec & known as being the lot number seventy two (72) on the cadastral plan & Book of Reference for the Parish of St. Jean Baptiste de Québec for the price or sum of one thousand four hundred dollars as it appears by Deed of Sale passed before Mtre. P.E. Émile Bélanger, Notary Public, dated at Quebec the fourth day of April one thousand eight hundred and eighty seven and registered at Quebec under No. 75782. That the said Testator has given to his said wife Elizabeth MacAdams the said sum of one thousand four hundred dollars paid for price of sale of the said above described lot, and that he dispenses his said wife to return to his estate or the said Communauté de biens , the said sum of one thousand four hundred dollars, willing on the contrary that the said Elizabeth MacAdams shall use & enjoy the said sum en pleine & entière propriété.

And as to the rest and residue of his property and estate moveable and immoveable of what nature soever and in what place so ever it may be situated after paying all expenses that may or might be sustained in recovering property or any other expenses that may occur, the said Testator doth hereby give, ordain & direct that it be divided as hereinafter directed amongst all his said children issued of his marriage with the said Margaret Cassin, share and share alike; hereby instituting them his said children, his universal residuary legatees.

And the said testator doth hereby declare that in as much as his said children have already received from him, in lands money, and effects, namely -

His daughter Isabel Neilson, wife of Charles Stuart Wolff has received from him in land, money, and effects to the amount of two thousand one hundred and eighty dollars.

____________________________________

NOTE: Elizabeth MacAdams renounces [as specified in Paragraph 3 of the will] the Communauté de biens between her and her husband, William Neilson in the Notarial Act Number 2575 of the records of Notary P.E. Émile Bélanger dated September 9, 1895. She states no children issued of the marriage with William Neilson.

[Translated and transcribed by Gerry Neville]

Notes by Patricia Balkcom: Notes by Patricia Balkcom: William died in 1895, seven years after writing this will. His wife, Elizabeth MacAdams was about 25 years younger and he knew that she would probably outlive him by several years. He therefore set this will up to insure that his children from his first marriage would enjoy some of the fruits of his estate. William and his wife, Margaret Cassin, had 10 children. Two died as young children. His daughter, Laura, who he mentions in the will died in 1873 at the age of 27. Isabel, also mentioned in the will, died a few months before William. There was another son – William, born 1848, who is not mentioned in the will. It is possible that he died young also as he is not in the 1861 Census with the family.¹⁵

Anecdote*

St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; From an email from Eric Corrigan: "Hi Pat. I came across this page of information I guess you could call it, about a property of William Neilson, and what became of it, written by a religious brother (Mariste Frere)
In French, I will include a translated version in this e-mail;
The William Neilson House:
This house that you are living in presently was built in 1860. It belonged to William Neilson born in Canada in 1804. He was originally Irish and married a Margaret Casson, also Irish descent in 1851. The Neilson couple had 9 children whose age varied 21 to 2 years.
William was Presbyterian and Margaret Catholic. Without a doubt for the good family understanding they alternated in the choice of religion for the children. The first baptized in the Catholic Church; the second in the Presbyterian and the following also.
The 10^th of August 1888, William at 84 years made his will. He left to his second wife, Elizabeth Mac’ Adams, $23,000.00, a part of lot 131 and his house. To his children he left a total of $12,986.00 and some parcels of territory. Mr. William Neilson died the 7^th of July 1895. His second wife died the 10^th January 1911.
The house then passed to Cornelius, beloved son of William. He in turn sold it the same year, the lot 131 and the house to his brother (or nephew) Norman.
In 1924, Norman Neilson sold to Constance Neilson Fairchild the lot 131 and the house, for $3,000.00.
Three years later, in 1927, John Hebert Price bought the lot 131 and the house that belonged to William Neilson, also other neighboring properties.

Majela Murphy tells me that they dug the earth from around the perimeter of the trees in the fall let it freeze and during the winter hauled them from the grounds which had been expropriated for the Valcartier camp to the site of the Neilson grounds for planting. Majella is now 83 but has a very good memory, he was born and lived about a mile from this place, so he is a good source of information I am sure he would be glad to share it."¹⁸

circa 1880

Patrick Farrell; Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, United States; Several people from Ste-Catherine migrated to Chicago in about 1880. Patrick Farrell's father had been hung for murder in 1879 and I suspect this one of the reasons they left. They supposedly chose Chicago because there was a lot of work available following the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871.
