Filed on a homestead on Section 26 on to which the family moved after coming to Canada in 1903.
Suggested that, because there were so many Lindsays in the district, that it be named "Edzell" after Edzell Castle in Scotland, meaning "The Land of the Lindsays". Everyone was in favour of the idea and so the area became the Edzell District.
Note: the date of death is a supposition. The Woodlawn Cemetery has a record for a "Lizzy Hutcheon" on the dates given. Elizabeth is reported to have been known as "Lizzy".
Twin to George Low Hutcheon.
