John McGonigal's ancestors were some of the earliest settlers in the
Arnprior area. Several streets are named after his family members. The 1893
indenture between Peter McGonigal and the Ottawa Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway
describes the sale of certain lands around Tierney, Patrick and Meehan Streets, for
nineteen hundred dollars to the railway company. The 1962 audio cassette recording
is called " A History of Arnprior". It was produced around the time Mr.
McGonigal was actively involved with Arnprior's centennial activities.
