JOSEPH TESKEY, SENIOR- Died, at Warminster, on Monday, October 8th, 1906, Mary Ann Shier, relict of the late Joseph Teskey, in her 89th year. Deceased was a descendant of a family of refugees from the Palatinate, Germany, who settled in the County of Limerick, Ireland, in the early part of the reign of Queen Anne. The subject of this notice was born at Rathkeale, Court Matrix, Limerick, in 1817, and in 1837 was united in marriage to Joseph Teskey, a descendant of another German family who settled in Limerick at the same time. At the time of their marriage her husband belonged to the Royal Irish Constabulary, which has done so much in maintaining law and order in Ireland. From this union seven sons and two daughters were born, of whom six sons survive their parents. Her husband came to the Narrows, as Orillia was then called, in 1844, and began to prepare a home for those dependent upon him. These arrived after a wearisome voyage of eight weeks. Let the reader picture to himself fully the happiness of such a meeting, father, mother, and two children. Then began that heroic struggle for the creation of a home so common to all Canadian pioneers that the very mention of their labours, struggles, and sublime endurance should fill their descendants with enthusiasm, and a desire to emulate their virtues. Truly the Christian woman of whom we here write had her full share. Her husband was taken from her in 1878. From that time till her death her life was one of devotion and self sacrifice to her sons and their families, all of whom, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will rise up and call her memory blessed.

Birth*Mary Ann Elta Shier was born on 29 August 1890. 
She was the daughter of Francis John B. Shier and Emma (Ellen) Vanderburgh.

(Witness) CensusMary Ann Elta Shier appeared on the census of 1921 in the household of Frank Leslie Shier in Scott Twp., Ontario County, Ontario, Canada. 
(Witness) Fact 1Mary Ann Elta Shier witnessed the Fact 1 of Morley Roy Shier; On October 3, 1911, Montgomery as Mrs. Ewan MacDonald was introduced as the minister’s new wife and honoured with a reception dinner at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Three of the families she met that evening – The Shiers, the Brookses and the Lapps – would never have expected to be mentioned in her books. Catherine* and James Shier’s farm was located a few acres away from the Leaskdale Church. They had three children in 1911: Mabel was nineteen; Morley, sixteen, was a student at Uxbridge High School; and Harvey was nine.

The sons [of the three families] would have known the MacDonald’s for only a few years, but their families and relations became friends especially the younger siblings because they grew up during the fourteen years that Montgomery created and directed the Young People’s Association.

Morley Roy Shier knew “Mrs. Mac” for about two years before he left to attend the University of Toronto’s teacher-preparation program. Bob Brooks was in Ewan’s congregation for about 6 years before he enlisted. Gordie Lapp was at home foe only a year before leaving to work and study pharmacy. They joined three different military units at different times between 1915 and 1917. These three young men represent the sacrifices that small communities all over Canada invested in the world conflict. Montgomery planned, wrote and revised Rainbow Valley during the final years of the war, from 1917 to 1918. Montgomery penned the dedication to the pilot Morley Shier and the two soldiers Bob Brookes and Gordie Lapp, when she finished the Rainbow Valley manuscript in late December 1918, three months after the death of the last casualty, Flight Lieutenant Shier.

Several Shier family members were Montgomery’s friends, including Morley’s cousin, Mary Shier McLeod. Readers of Montgomery’s journals will recall Morley’s uncle, Dr. Walter Columbus Shier, who was a physician in Leaskdale and Uxbridge. Dr. Shier attended the MacDonald family and was the first doctor to treat Ewan’s depression. Another uncle was Rob Shier** who lived in Zephyr; his third wife was Lillis Harrison (Lily Reid), Montgomery’s household helper from 1912 to 1915 and a trusted friend throughout Montgomery’s life.

Morley was a teacher first at Corson’s Siding, northeast of Leaskdale and then at Earl Grey School in Toronto. Shortly after Montgomery began work on Rainbow Valley, Morley stared pilot training. He went to England in May 1918, after basic flight training, to learn combat and reconnaissance skills at the British advanced flying schools. He was assigned to the 256th Royal Air force Squadron formed in June 1918 at Seahouses, Northumberland. The squadron did coastal surveillance for German submarines and flew two-seater Canadian built de Havilland DH-6 planes, with a range of about four hours of flight. One of the many nicknames for the DH-6 was “the Flying Coffin”.

Shier became an active RFC pilot in June 1918 at the age of twenty-three. About one-quarter of the RFC squadron crews were Canadian. Most RFC combat pilots survived an average of about three weeks once they began their combat flights. Although reconnaissance pilots were not exposed to enemy fire as often as combat pilots, the risk to them was still significant; they were not armed but could carry bombs, and parachutes were not allowed because they were too heavy.

After two months of flying, Flight Lieutenant Shier and his plane went down in the fog in the North Sea on Sept 6, 1918 about twenty miles from shore. Montgomery did not hear of Morley’s death until a month later, three days before Germany and Austria agreed to peace in October 1918.Shier’s name is on the Hollybrook Memorial in Southampton, England, erected by the Imperial Ware Graves Commission with the names of those lost at sea. Members of the Shier family placed a marker in the cemetery at Leaskdale and a plaque in the church to honour him at home.
