2402	Major Robert John Mutrie (1882 - 1916) Robert John Mutrie was born on April 2, 1883 in Eramosa Township to Col. John and Margaret (Dow) Mutrie. His father John Mutrie was well known in Eramosa Township where he had lived his entire life. The Mutrie ancestors were early settlers in Wellington County. Robert's great-grandparents, John and Janet (Wilson) Mutrie, settled on 100 acres of land on concession 8 of Nichol Township. John Mutrie lived here until his death in 1870. His wife, Janet, predeceased him by four years. Great-grandfather John Mutrie was born in the Hawick District of Lanark, Scotland about 1784. Prior to his marriage, he enlisted in the British Navy, and served under Lord Nelson ten years, and was on the battleship with Lord Nelson at Trafalgar. It was in this battle that he was wounded and returned home. Robert's grandfather, William, was born in Scotland on March 17, 1817. William was raised on concession 8 of Nichol Township. He married Jane Beattie, daughter of Scottish immigrant William Beattie (1784 - 1861) and Elizabeth McDonald. At the age of 26, William purchased 200 acres, lot 23 , con. 4, and lot 23, con. 3, Eramosa Township and remained here until his death. He was a broadminded man, and while he never held municipal office, he was a staunch Liberal, and took a active interest in the political questions of the day, and also found time to devote to religious, educational and other matters, for the betterment of the community. He was on the Board of Managers of the Presbyterian church for years; a Director of the Eramosa Agricultural Society, and its President for a term of years. Robert's father, Col. John Mutrie, was born in Eramosa Township. He joined the militia in 1866, served in the Fenian raids and rose through the ranks to attain command of the local regiment. During WW1, he was the chief recruiting officer in the area. He long served with the 30th Wellington Rifles.

Standing at 5'7 1/2 ", Major Mutrie was of average height. He had brown hair, brown eyes and a dark complexion. Like his father, Robert was also a member of the 30th Wellington Rifles. He participated for five years prior to signing up for overseas duty in 1914 at the age of 32. He married Alice Tolton. At the time of his death, his young family was residing at 44 Bellevue Place in Guelph, Ontario. One of his sons, Eric (1912-2003), became a well known physician in Guelph. Major Robert J. Mutrie was a member of the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles (British Columbia Regiment). He died on April 5, 1916 at age 33 years and is buried at Poperinghe New Military Cemetery in Belgium.
