Margaret Elizabeth Hunter, born April 18, 1849, and William Adam Hunter, born June 17, 1845, married in Dumfrese, Scotland on December 22, 1870. A year later they immigrated to Canada, settling first in Cayuga, Ontario. In 1883, Margaret's brother, Thomas Copland, encouraged them to move west with the Saskatoon Temperance Colonization Society and they built a home at Llewellyn. Margaret and William had 7 children; their two oldest daughters, Mary Kerr Hunter and Barbara Elizabeth Hunter, married brothers from the Anderson family - Burpee James Anderson and Newton Joseph Anderson, respectively. Margaret's brother, Thomas Copland, was one of the first settlers in Saskatoon, and was trained as a chemist and druggist. The University of Saskatchewan is located on his original homestead.
