The Reed Baby Carriage

The McRae family bought a Reed carriage on layaway. It cost $60.00 and was bought on layaway at Friemans’ on Rideau Street in Ottawa. It had to be a top of the line carriage bought for many children to come.

Here is a picture of the actual baby carriage from the McRae family

Dale Costello The McRae family lived across from my grandfather James Aitken on the 9th line

Ben MacRae This house was and still is just west of Doug and Marj Campbell’s farmhouse. My family moved to the Cemetery Sideroad before I was born.

Margaret Partridge Hi folks, Margaret Partridge here. I grew up at this house-it is on John and Karen’s farm. It is a frame house. After our Dad passed away, we got permission to visit the house. It was very memorable, the best possible time of my life was spent here. Mary was born n 1956 and was quite young when we moved to Cemetery Side Road. The lane way was across the road from the Aiken House.

Found the Location of the W.R. Hill General Store

Lila Leach James was the first to mention this, and the more I looked at it I realized  the former W.R. Hill General Store was now Braeside Furnishings. The McRae family member said it was in the Arnprior area and she was right. I cannot find a thing about W. R. Hill but you can see the original windows boarded up and the longer building was definitely renovated and cut down when you look at the parking lot.

You can see the placement of two windows and a door of the original building and a peaked roof was added to it on the longer section. Thanks Lila for all your help.

Thanks to all that thought it was the Hill General store in McDonald’s Corners. Definitely not– but a heck of a good guess.
