Hi Jill,
The Neil McKechnie I referenced died June 24, 1904. He drown in the Metagami River in Northern Ontario. I have two newspaper articles plus a publication by the Graphics Arts Society on his life and death. His death however is not recorded in the Ontario Archives. I had heard that there was a church mural painted by Neil McKechnie however it now appears that there were two Neil McKechnie who were artists. My Neil was descended from Duncan McKechnie to John McKechnie (both born Islay) to Hugh McKechnie born Chinguacousy Township Peel County. We have no McKechnies named James either. Looks like we missed out on being associated with some great company. I will have to follow up and take a peek at the two sites you mention. Thanks for the information.
Doug
