Ellen Guthrie was born in Lanark
County Ontario in 1887. She came to the Reston area in 1884 with her
parents, Mr and Mrs. W. R. Guthrie, who were pioneers the Lanark
district. She married Thomas A. Bulloch. in 1910. At first they resided
on N 27-7-27, then moved in to the town of Reston in 1911.
In 1929 Ellen wrote the booklet "Pioneer of the Pipestone". This had
been a project of the Women's Institute to raise funds for the up-keep
and beautification of the Reston Cemetery. All proceeds from the sale
of these booklets have gone towards that worthy cause.
The booklet has been recently republished, and in 2012 is a valuable
record of the life and times of the early settlers as told by a
reliable and observant witness to the events.
In the preface to of the booklet (see opposite) Mrs. Bulloch thanks her
sources, which include a good representative sample of the people who,
“Made the R.M. of Pipestone”.
