CensusJacob Shier appeared on the census of 1901 in Georgina Twp., York County, Ontario, Canada. 
Death*He died on 7 December 1904 in Ontario County, Ontario, Canada, at age 80; Udora: In the death of Mr. Jacob Shier, Sr. which occured on Dec. 7, 1904, the township of Georgina lost one of her oldest and most respected citizens.

Mr. Shier was one of the old Palatine stock who left Germany in about the year 1706 and migrated to Ireland during the reign of Queen Ann. Mr. Shier's parents came to Canada and settled in the County of La Prairie, Que., in which place Mr. Shier was born on Nov. 17th, 1824 and in the spring of 1832 came with his parents to Ontario and settled on the old Shier Homestead on the 5th Con. of Brock.

At the age of 24 Mr. Shier married Phoebe, third daughter of the late Col. Vrooman, to which were born two sons (Henry of Manilla and Adam of Woodville) and two daughters ( Mrs. Michael Rynard - now deceased - and Mrs. Philip Rynard) after which Mrs. Shier departed this life, leaving the subject of this memoir to raise his little family alone.

In the year 1859, however, Mr. Shier married Catherine Rynard, second daughter of the late Philip Rynard, who is left to mourn her loss, and to them were born four sons - Philip, Julius, and Jacob, who are still living on or neighbouring the old homestead, and Albert, who is a merchant in Chicago, Ill. and two daughters - Mrs. John Greg of Uxbridge and Mrs. Jas. Shier of Scott.

Of Mr. Shier's life very much could be said. In his private life, in religion and in politics, his actions were marked by an even temper, a sound mind and good judgement, which commanded the respect and admiration of his entire aquaintance. He was one of the most successful farmers of his time, as shown by the prosperity he left his family. He was a patient and obliging neighbour, a kind and provident father, and a loving and affectionate husband.

The funeral, which was held on Dec. 10th, was very largely attended, divine services being held at the house by Reve. Campbell of Sunderland and Stephenson of Vroomanton. The words of the preacher were a burning eulogy of the life of Mr. Shier. The pall-bearers were his six stalwart sons.

Burial*He was buried on 10 December 1904 in Brock Twp., Bagshaw Cemetery, Ontario County, Ontario, Canada.

(Witness) Fact 1He 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.

Fact 1*The Last Will and Testament of Jacob Shier Jr;

I, Jacob Shier of Ryanroe in the County of Limerick and Parish of Adare by the Grace of God kept in possession of a sound mind but with a weak body do make this my last Will and Testament. First I order that my body be decently interred in Adare Chruch yard at the right side of my beloved wife Mary Shier and it is my sincere wish that my wife Catherine Shier be buried at my right hand side. Second, I leave to my son John Jacob Shier (£150) one hundred and fifty pounds stg. to be paid him one year after my death. He is to be provided with suitable clothes and diet during that period. He is to be obedient to his step-mother and help her to cultivate the land during his stay with her if however he does not do so, I leave him to the mercy of his step-mother and the other executors. Third, I leave to my daughter Mary Ann Shier the sum of (£150) one hundred and fifty pounds stg. to be paid to her two years after my death. She is to stay with her step-mother but if she gets married before the above two years expire and makes a match agreeable to her step-mother she is to get the above (£150) one hundred and fifty pounds on the day that the ceremony is performed if she so desires. She is to make herself as useful as possible to her step-mother but should she not be said by her and the other executors I leave her entirely to whatever mercy they may exercise towards her. She is to be provided with suitable clothes and diet while she lives with her step-mother. Should Mary Anne and John Jacob wish to emigrate to America two years after my death I have no objection whatever. John Jacob is not to get married within one year after my death without the consent of his step-mother. The interest of John Jacob's money as above willed him by me as also the interest of Mary Anne's money as also above willed her by me shall be given to my beloved wife Catherine to help in providing them (John Jacob or Mary Anne) with respectable clothing and support. Should John Jacob or Mary Anne die before the time comes when the above provisions of this my Last Will and Testament are carried out with reference to them in either or both cases the money above willed them lapses to my Executors to be lodged in Bank or otherwise safely secured for the use of my unprovided children. Fifth, I order that five pounds a year be paid to the Methodist Connexion in Adare during the life of John Moore. The insurance money is to be lodged in the Bank or otherwise safely invested in the name of my wife Catherine Shier and in the name of my other executors for the use of my unprovided children. Fifth, I leave to my wife Catherine Shier the entire control of all my stock and chattels , all my money in Bank, all money represented by Promissory Notes, all insurance money and all other moneys and value after paying my lawful debts for the use of herself and children that is Joseph, Samuel, Rebecca, Richard, Catherine and Emily Alice. Should however my wife Catherine Shier marrry or do anything that would disgrace my children, she is to be dispossessed out of my house and property by my other executors and she is to get only two pounds to take her to America. I appoint my wife Catherine Shier Executrix together with Richard Heavenor, Bamlett Shier and Tobias Shier as my Executors given under my hand this 16th day of December, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy- One.
