Rorison was born in Scotland and
while very young was taken with his
parents and two brothers aboard a
sailing vessel bound for America. The
vessel wandered from it's course; was
wrecked and presumably deserted. Mr..
Rorison was separated from his par
ents and brothers and for the time,
lost his identity. He was adopted by
a well-to-do Canadian farmer with
whom he was bound until he reached
the age of twenty one, when he was
promised freedom and suit of
clothes, the usual agreement. Mr..
Rorison neither knew his name nor
his age, for certainty, until his
brothers. who were older than he ap-
peared and solved the mystery His
parents lost their life in the storm
which wrecked the vessel.
Young Gilbert attended the dis

fairly good example Of the rural
school of Canada at that time Spare

the shooting. She said she had di-
vorced her husband because of her
