404	Ellason Myers' mother died during his birth. He was raised by his maternal grandparents. W. G. Eliason MYERS Immigration Date for Eliason Myers Voyage: Departed from New York on 1 May 1915 headed for Liverpool, England Accommodations: Passenger: second cabin Voyage Notes: sunk by a German submarine torpedo on May 7,1915 (WW1) Ship: Lusitania Notes: Survived; non-US Lusitania Sinks: By Atlantic Cable and A.P.- London, 12:15 A.M. Of those who left New York a week ago on the Lusitania fewer than 700 survived after that vessel was torpedoed and sunk by German submarines off Kinsale, Ireland, Friday afternoon. A full list of survivors who include very few of the first class passengers is not yet available, but probably there are not many names to add to those which have already been made public. All the evidence goes to show that the passengers had such confidence in the ability of the Lusitania, because of her watertight compartments, to remain afloat after she received the first blow that they did not concern themselves about taking to the boats or even providing themselves with life preservers. However, the torpedoes had torn such gaping holes in the liner that she did not remain afloat for more than twenty minutes, and the calls for help which the wireless sent out, although answered quickly, could not bring the rescuing steamers to the spot in time to be of any service. The scenes at Queenstown, where landed and where there are many bodies of those who were killed or died of exposure were heartrending. Many women that have improvised morgues. Others were on Cork, while still others left yesterday afternoon for London, where they arrived Sunday morning. At the London and Liverpool office of the Cunard Company large crowds again assembled yesterday, hoping against hope that those whom that expected to meet on Saturday, at the latest, might still turn up. There was little consolidation for those who have not already heard from their expected friends and relatives. Nothing that the Germans had done since the outbreak of the war has so aroused the anger and the determination of the British people as the sinking of the Lusitania. This anger is shared by the Americans in London who had relatives aboard. At many places throughout the country these nationalized people were made to suffer for Germany's action. At one large shipbuilding plant at Wallsehd the workmen threatened to strike unless those employees with German names were discharged, and the company, although badly in need of workmen, was complied to grant the demand. German barbers and other Germans whose presence in the county has been tolerated since the war began, also found themselves boycotted. But there has not been any disorders of any kind. Accounts of Sinking By Atlantic Cable and A.P. - Queenstown, May 9th W.G.E. Meyers of Stratford, Ontario a 16 year old passenger on the Lusitania, who was on his way to join the British navy as a cadet, said of the disaster: I had just gone to the upper deck after lunch to play a game of quoits with two other boys. One of them, looking over the side, saw a white streak in the water and shouted: "There's a torpedo, coming straight at us. "We watched until it struck us, with an awful explosion. Then we rushed to the boat deck. Just as we got there a huge quantity of wood splinters and great masses of water flew all around us. .A second torpedo struck us about four minutes after the first. I went below to get a life belt and met a woman who was frenzied with fear. I tried to help her into the boat. Then I saw a boat which was nearly swamped. I got into it and with other men baled it out. Then a crowd of men clambered into it and nearly swamped it. Rev. H.W. Simpson, a passenger in the second cabin, saved himself by clinging to an upturned boat. .After a struggle we filled this boat with all we could rescue," Dr. Simpson said today. .We tied a pair of trousers to an oar and hoisted it as a signal of distress. A big trawler came along and took us aboard. "When we were struck I was in the saloon. Lifebelts were handed around but people did not want to put them on and they rushed to the deck just as they were. William Brown of Alaska, another survivor, said he decided not to join the rush for the boats. “I came to the conclusion that a life belt was the thing for me,” So I went to the cabin and secured one. With it on, I slid down a long rope into the water. Subsequently I got into a boat. H. Smelhurst, a steerage passenger. was saved in the same way. He had put his wife into a life boat and in spite of her urging he refused to accompany her. saying the women and children must go first. After the boat with his wife in it had pulled away, the husband put on a life belt, slipped into the water and floated until he was picked up.	Myers, William George Ellason (I24323)

420	Excerpt from "Kith ‘n Kin" Compiled and Edited by Joanna McEwen Published by Township of Oro 1978 John David Hastings and his brother William, born in Dublin, Ireland, came to Canada as orphans, on a sailing vessel that took 6 weeks – a very rough trip. They farmed at Island Grove near Jackson’s Point. They were staunch Westleyan Methodists people came in sleighloads to Prayer Meetings held in their home. John David’s wife Mary Ann Warriner lived with the School teacher’s family, name of Law, at the Indian Reservation on Snake Island, Lake Simcoe, and was the only white woman on the Island. Their two eldest children were born on the Island, and when William, who was cared for by an Indian girl, was speaking mostly Indian language, she refused to stay any longer and came across Lake Simcoe on the ice in 1866 and settled on a farm near Edgar, where her husband had come earlier to cut trees and build a log home. Mary Ann learned the art of making straw hats from the Indians. In 1907 she had an eye removed, the operation done on the kitchen table at her son Charles’s home. Son Wesley spent 20 of his latter years with nephew Melville Hastings. Son, Charles Edward, born at Edgar, farmed at Jarratt until buying Lot 9, Concession 6 in Oro in 1914, where his son Edward and grandsons still farm. Melville bought Lot 19, Conc 5 (across the road) in 1926 and added the adjoining 75 acres, Lot 20 in 1946, known as the Kenny farm, and the highway frontage was subdivided, Melville sold the farm in 1962 to Leonard Cumming, reserving a strip of land for another subdivision back of the highway lots, and divided by Kenny Street. This area forms much of the village of Guthrie of today.	Hastings, John David (I25581)
