THE GREAT LAKE COUNTRY. Caught in a Snowstorm. A Brave Rescue. Our Bothwell correspondent writes - The following is an authentic account from the Great Lake country, showing that a shepherd's life is not all beer and skittles. I believe the conduct of Stuart and Woolley is particularly commendable. The sufferers are slowly recovering. On the 23rd of May last two men Edward Finlay and Dawson, both shepherds for Mr H F Gage, left a neighbouring hut, "The Banks," soon after breakfast, taking with them their own horses, and another horse to pack Finlay's traps from his own hut, about six miles away. Having arrived at Finlay's hut and packed their swags, they started to return, but found some sheep on their way. These they had to cross over the Ouse River, and in doing so had to walk through up to their knees. Putting the sheep in a paddock they again started for "The Banks" but, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but were soon caught in a severe snow storm which the horses would not face, and getting baffled they wandered about until nearly 10 o'clock, when Dawson fell off his horse completely exhausted from cold. Finlay, not caring to leave him to perish, decided to stay with him, so lay down beside him all night without fire, shelter, or covering of any sort, except snow, which was about 3ft deep in the morning. Although they had rugs on the horses their hands were so benumbed with cold they where unable to undo them. The horses stayed with them all night, and in the morning Finlay managed to get on his legs, and getting between two of the horses with his arms over them, got within sight of "The Banks" but in a dazed state. Here two other shepherds, William Stuart and James Woolley, carried him in and attended to him, and then started out to look for Dawson, who they found about a mile away on the broad of his back, frozen stiff, but still alive. Putting Dawson in a blanket, which they had taken with them, they managed to carry and drag him to their own hut. No easy task when the rocky nature of the ground, and depth of snow were taken into consideration some of the drifts being 10ft or 12ft deep. Too much praise cannot be given to Stuart and Woolley for their efforts, in which they succeeded in saving life. (26)

28 Mar 1899 - [1-25.1] Dennistoun Rd - William Stuart (owner, occupier), house, garden, capital value £200, annual value £12. (27)

2 Apr 1902 - Marriage of his son John Boyd Stuart and Lucy Jane Branch at Bothwell. (28)

22 Aug 1910 - William died from a cerebral haemorrhage at the age of 74 years at Bothwell. (1)

STUART- On August 22, 1910, at Bothwell, William Stuart, in the 75th year of his age. (29)

25 Aug 1910 - Buried at the Bothwell Cemetery. (30)
