The odd one of these is still on 3rd St. boulevards in 1968. House is 306 East 3rd - considerably changed in appearance today! It is one of those moved by the C.P.R. from Donald and was occupied by people named Corrall before Dad bought it in 1908. Ruby (Rutherford) Nobbs One of the homes moved from Donald to Revelstoke when the C.P.R. moved their repair shops and diversional point. Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Rutherford and family at 304 East 3rd St. About 1912." (Murdoch and Ruby on steps)

John Rutherford wrote from Tranquility, New Jersey, to Susan Kean in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Rutherford offered Susan advice and assistance on a bond. He endorsed the bond with his name and then assigned it to Susan so she could then act in her own right and not as an executive in the business and receive the money. Rutherford then resealed the paper that contained other bonds and offered to keep them until Susan’s future determination. He also informed her that there was no need to present or offer an explanation to Robert Barnwell.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1790s/1560/thumbnail.jp

George grew up in Scottland, where he attended school, then served in the Army, in Jamaica. He was a Captain in the 52nd Regiment. Susan asked John to show him kindness and “give him some directions in what manner he ought to conduct himself.” She was sorry Mr. Bond didn’t stay to meet the president [George Washington].
